I just purchased a 2011 Versa S Hatch. I have driven it eastern Canada for a month now and have been offered undercoating protection from the Nissan dealership for 200$. Is it worth it? I know it comes with undercoating from the factory. the dealership says they can put it on in an afternoon guaranteed for 10 years

Thanks for any future replies.

when I bought my car at the dealer, they said its a waste of money but offered if you choose. youre probably better just washing the undercarriage of the vehicle each time you normally wash your vehicle, I know it sounds like more physical labor! if you're driving on gravel roads alot, then think of it otherwise. the dealer is there to make money off you broski...

save yourself a couple bucks!

I have the undercoating from Nissan too. It was free for me getting the 7 yr warranty.

imo, if you're gonna put many miles on, do the undercoating.
I got mine Krowned [$119.95] when i had the snows put on.
Will be a few bucks less for every re-application cuz they don't need to redrill.
Afterward, they told me cuz my car is new enough, i have some warranty for rust, even though i bought the V used.
When it was time to spend the bux, that's what i did. Hope it helps. 08v

Nope. Clarence's Automotive, Dunnville ON. Service interchangable tho.

Ok sounds good. I am gonna wait until a coupon arrives in the mail for Krown. Versa might potentially be kicked out of the garage for a younger model :-( If so, I want to spend money first on a remote start. I've always wanted one but with garage didn't need it.

:yikes::cryin::74:I hate when that happens. 2012 NB?:woot:sorry getting off topic

 

[Hschlick84]

never had issues with rusting after driving alot of miles

If your area needs it, then get it

Lol. I wish. Not until versa is paid off (two more years left). .

And it depends on if I like the new new beetle design. They haven't released the finalized photos and specs. Hopefully it's still cute and bubbly and comes in a cabrio.

Got mine done at Krown last year. I'll likely do it myself this year now that the holes has already been drilled. Going to by a case of Krown and apply as necessary; I found they weren't as thorough as I had hoped. Plus I'll save on the labour

 

[Hschlick84]

the cause of your rusting is that cheap salt they're throwing on the streets in your area... we dont get that, CDOT sprays magnesium chloride (MgCl2), it does wonders

You guys don't remember the Seinfeld episode where Putty says to Jerry, "Undercoating.. We don't even know what that is."

Check your Owner's Manual for Corrosion Warranty.

it already has it from the factory and I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't do squat. Your car will be just fine as long as you wash it and spray the underside of the car.

yeah, they're trying to make money off you severefan, just take the extra effort and use elbow grease, doesn't hurt! that extra money can go to food
