Rust isn’t just unsightly; it’s a silent killer for vehicles. If left untreated, it can weaken your car’s structure, compromise safety, and drastically reduce resale value. At Modus Car Body Repairs in Luton, we offer professional rust treatment services that stop corrosion in its tracks and restore your car to a healthy, roadworthy condition.
What Causes Rust on Cars?
Rust forms when metal reacts with moisture and oxygen, especially in the presence of salt or humidity. Common causes include:
- Rain and Road Salt (especially in winter)
- Driving through flooded areas or puddles
- Poor drainage in wheel arches or undercarriage
- Scratches and chips that expose bare metal

- Bubbling under paint
