In Northern New York, we experience heavy snow every year. The last time I checked our total, annual snowfall was around 11 feet. Because of this, each year, large volumes of salt and liquid solutions are laid down to de-ice the roads. Unfortunately, the same solutions designed to keep us safe, also react with the metals on our vehicles, and they accelerate corrosion.
Why Does Winter Weather Cause Rust Problems with My Vehicle?
Cars tend to corrode and succumb to rust quickly in New York’s North Country. It is all to do with the salt, brine and liquid solutions used to treat winter roads. The salt and liquid solutions placed on our roads during snow, ice and winter storms are highly corrosive. They react with all types of metals when they are wet (including aluminum). Here is a simplified breakdown…When salt mixes with water on metals, an electrolyte is created that accelerates corrosion. …Basically, it speeds up corrosion on your car, truck or vehicle.

About the Author
“...Running a business is about building relationships. I see my employees and my customers as family...” - Terrence Smith
Terrence Smith is a Watertown native and a family man. He had vaguely heard of Rust Check as a teenager, before he began driving. Later, when he purchased his first vehicle, the dealership advised him to visit Rust Check’s flagship location (1 hr away) to protect his new vehicle from rust. Rust Check worked so well and Terrence was so impressed with the process, that he began asking the company to open a Northern New York location. With time, it was Terrence himself who opened Rust Check of Watertown.
Incredibly, it has now been more than 33 years since Terrence’s first visit to Rust Check and he still owns that 1989 Cadillac. Moreover, Rust Check of Watertown continues to faithfully serve the Northern New York community. It has been 15 years ...and counting.
