RODA SERVICE
Underbody Vehicle Cleaning
The underside of your car faces constant exposure to dirt, road salt, mud, and grime — especially in harsh weather or off-road conditions. Over time, this buildup can trap moisture, cause rust, and damage essential components like the exhaust, suspension, and brake lines.

THE RODA WAY
Our Underbody Vehicle Cleaning service removes harmful buildup safely and thoroughly, helping prevent corrosion and extending your car’s life from the ground up. We believe in hospitality and transparency — you’ll always know exactly what we’re doing and why it matters.
When You Need This
A clean underbody helps prevent corrosion and ensures that critical parts last longer. It’s an important yet often overlooked part of routine vehicle care.
Winter or Salt Exposure
Road salt and de-icing chemicals can cause rust on metal components and brake lines.
Frequent Driving on Wet or Muddy Roads
Mud and grime trap moisture, accelerating corrosion underneath the vehicle.
Off-Road or Gravel Driving
Dirt and stones collect on the undercarriage, adding unnecessary wear to components.
Regular Preventive Maintenance
Cleaning the underbody at least once or twice a year helps maintain long-term structural and cosmetic health.

⚠️ What happens if you skip it? ⚠️
Neglecting underbody cleaning can lead to rust, corrosion, and premature failure of key parts like the exhaust, fuel lines, or suspension mounts. Over time, that can mean costly repairs and decreased resale value.
How This is Done
We use safe, high-pressure techniques and eco-friendly cleaners to remove grime without damaging sensitive components.
1. Lift and Inspect
We raise the vehicle safely to assess buildup and identify corrosion-prone areas.
2. Rinse and Degrease
A biodegradable cleaner breaks down salt, oil, and dirt buildup.
3. Pressure Wash
Controlled water pressure removes debris without damaging protective coatings.
4. Dry and Protect
We air-dry and, if requested, apply a rust inhibitor for long-lasting protection.
5. Final Inspection
We verify that all contaminants are cleared and surfaces are clean.

“Roda was a great service. I hit a pothole and had a blow out. They came and picked the car up downtown, fixed it, and dropped it back at my house. I’ll definitely check them out again.”
