I'm a mechanic in the south (Texas) in my 14 years as a tech, I've only had 2 customers from the rust belt come to me and have me try to do alignments on their trucks, once I inspected the trucks and saw that the frames were severely rusted out, I refused to work on them. Yes those customers did get pissed off at me for turning them down.
here in new england......thats typical......and it's criminal......manufacturers should be held responsible,especially for brake lines.......less than 10 years
Everyone, EVERYBODY but a very small handful of us STILL thinks it's imperative to pollute the roads with SALT. "Oh it's no big deal just buy a new car every three years"
@@HudsonGTVWA does use Calcium Chloride, Sodium Chloride and Magnesium Chloride, which will corrode vehicles, but they don’t use anywhere close to the amount used in the rust belt states.
@@themishapgarage3403 we got by just fine without it in the 90s. Then they started talking the dangerous intersections where they previously put down sand. Then it just spiraled out of control.
Too much of that stinking road salt os used by far. Talk about environment- this crap gets onto our water table. Best way to keep that crap from ruining your vehicle is to get it coated every year underside with Fluid Film, corrosion free, or any decent paste type covering.
That calcium chloride is terrible.. they started using the last 5 years here in Alberta.. i get my vehicles undercoated with Krown every fall.. works amazing.. my wifes Hyundai has 200k on it, no rust anywhere
here in new england i have seen them rotted too......depends on how good a job they do......monday, hangover job..........or friday ,quitting time quicky.......
@themishapgarage3403 lol it's too true. Only thing is when you're done derusting something and pull it out of the vat to take it apart and are left to wonder where it went XD
@@themishapgarage3403 Or used. Just don’t leave it until it’s a pile of rust on your drive! England 🏴 🇬🇧 talking here; where the tin worm is always the enemy! 🙃
All that can be avoided, IF, the owner gets off his ass n gets underneath n washes the under carriage as needed, every 3 months or so .. That's negligence, it's part of maintenance...
I've washed vehicles every other week in Michigan and they still end up like this lol. I remember once I went to go get a windshield frame in another county and didn't think of it when I left, upon returning I knew I was back in my county because there was a distinct line in the road where the road just became white from all the salt. That stuff flies up under your vehicle and it's over. It'll rust in places you never thought possible. Negligence? No, you just don't know what you're talking about. You can slow it down but you can't prevent it.
@@TheSevenJr86 So you say you washed vehicles every other week and they still end up that way. Perhaps. But how many times was it "the same vehicle". You said you washed the vehicle, but you didn't say that you specifically washed the undercarriage. There are steam cleaners and pressure washers out there that do a good job of removing caked on dirt. You can also treat the undercarriage with rubberized undercoating products. I'm sure that if the vehicle is maintained clean, Inside n out n underneath, it will last longer. But we live in a disposable age. My two trucks are over 50 year's old and both are like new. Maybe it's not negligence. Maybe it's just plain fucking laziness. It's like "sweep it under the rug" mentality. Eventually you'll have all kinds of crap growing or festering underneath that carpet. 🤔
Looks like my 2011 ford ranger that I bought last year from Middletown motors just outside Cincinnati OH 🤣🤣🤣 Don’t ever go to those crooks 🤣🤣🤣 I’ll be paying for my rust bucket for the next 6 years…Woo-Whoo 🤣🤣🤣
There's 'this car has cancer', and then there's 'this one's terminal, it's metastasized'. This appears to be the latter. Yikes.
@@Hadanelith1 This one's not terrible. It's still got some miles left in it.
Pretty typical after 15 years in my area....
Yup. Same

It's an everyday thing around here. You get used to it.
Im Canadian so every car i see is a rustbelt car.
But seriously, this is what I genuinely fear when getting into someone else's car.
Taking a chance every day
@@jwalster9412 sounds like an excuse to yell "WITNESS MEEEE" whenever you/someone else mashes the throttle
@@cutlerf2194 "witness Me"? Don't you mean witness unexplained holes in the floor
And that is exactly why I do not buy cars in the rust bucket regions.
I completely agree with you. It's terrible. Either it's rotted out or someone has bondo'd it up to look like it's not.
Then there is the chance of getting flooded vehicles from down south
Not just a rust belt truck, but a rust belt truck that was parked in an above freezing garage.
Been a work truck for sure
here in new england......thats typical......and it's criminal......manufacturers should be held responsible,especially for brake lines.......less than 10 years
This one is here for brake lines.....
I just want to drink beer with you and crunch some junkyard vehicles 😂
"Yup thats a rocker delete" 😜
I like drinking. This is actually a daily driver though.

Alaska gets by just fine without it. Been there and seen it first hand. I'm sure there are other states too.
@@themishapgarage3403 we don't use salt on roads in WA either

I can feel this video, those who work on rust belt vehicles.know...
Everyday!
Im from California and every car I've owned never had this all new to me
That why I put this out there. For people to feel lucky they don't have to deal with this.
One plus is you pepper the front of a tailgating BMW every time you hit a bump
I like the positive outlook
That calcium chloride is terrible.. they started using the last 5 years here in Alberta.. i get my vehicles undercoated with Krown every fall.. works amazing.. my wifes Hyundai has 200k on it, no rust anywhere
I've heard good things about it.

Hindsight is 20/20

Why does this make me want to eat croutons? 😂
Crunchy!
A couple of fluid film applications would have preventative most of that.
We'll never know
This is why I never take my car to a mechanic ! It comes back 20 lbs lighter! I live in n.e. Ohio
Better fuel mileage now!
Yup. That looks like most cars in Ny...
Iowa but same story.
Rust is lighter then carbon fiber
You are 100% correct there!
Yup.
When you frame swap your car but you dont loosen any of the bolts first.
Makes it easier!
@themishapgarage3403 lol it's too true. Only thing is when you're done derusting something and pull it out of the vat to take it apart and are left to wonder where it went XD

The most cringe part is touching rusty jagged metal with bare hands 😂 ive gotten blood poisoning from a rusty nail
I'm immune at this point
@@themishapgarage3403 🤣🤣
New rockers she’ll be alright
Nah just the rusty brakes lines is all.
Doesn't anyone use fluid film or pb blaster surface shield 🤔
Nope, not according to the vehicles that come through here anyhow.
Rust slivers scare me.
@@brandonbebonang8989 I'm immune at this point
You could at least tell us what it was.
A lot of rust
Buy a new vehicle; then rustproof it with lanoguard / fluid film / wool wax BEFORE you drive it!
Have to be able to afford a new vehicle first

Happens in the rust belt
It's ok. Thanks for being here though.
