Rust Repair in Garland, TX
Stopping oxidation in its tracks to save your vehicle's body and structural integrity.
Rust Repair in Garland, TX
Rust repair in Garland, TX starts with cutting out the problem, not covering it up. At Texas Five Star Paint & Body, we remove every trace of oxidation and weld in fresh metal so it stays gone. Our shop has been doing this since 2022, and we back every repair with a 5-year paint warranty. We strip rust with media blasting, grinding, and chemical converters down to clean bare metal. For rust-through, we cut out the bad sections and weld in custom steel patches that match the original shape. After the metal work, we seal it with anti-corrosive epoxy primer and undercoating to block moisture and salt. Then we paint and clear coat the area, blending it into the surrounding panels so you cannot see where the repair was done. Our manager Ali and the team work Monday through Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday 9am to 3pm. One customer told us, "Went for a bumper replacement and paint job and they gave me the full treatment, they blended the colors very well, they touched up all the scrapes in my wheels and did a full interior, exterior, and engine bay detail."

What We Offer
Oxidation Removal
We use media blasting, grinding, and chemical converters to aggressively strip away every trace of surface rust and deep-seated oxidation down to bare, clean metal.
Metal Fabrication & Patching
For severe rust-through, we completely excise the rusted sections and seamlessly weld in custom-fabricated steel patches, restoring the original strength of the panel.
Anti-Rust Undercoating
After repairs are made, we apply specialized rust-inhibiting epoxy primers and durable undercoatings to seal out moisture and salt, ensuring the rust does not return.
Our Process
From initial assessment to final inspection, here's what to expect when you bring your vehicle to Texas Five Star. Our manager Ali oversees every job from start to finish.
Assessment & Excision
We inspect the vehicle to find the full extent of the rust, then physically cut away all compromised metal until only clean, solid steel remains.
Welding & Fabrication
New sheet metal is cut, shaped, and precision-welded into place, ensuring it perfectly matches the original contours of the vehicle.
Sealing & Priming
The new metal is ground smooth and coated with an anti-corrosive epoxy primer, sealing the repair against future moisture intrusion.
Paint & Finish
We apply body-color paint and clear coat, blending it flawlessly into the surrounding areas for an invisible restoration.
Rust Repair FAQs
Can rust just be covered up with filler instead of cut out?
It can, but we don't recommend it, and it's not how we do things. Filler over active rust just hides the problem temporarily; the oxidation keeps spreading underneath and typically bubbles back up within months. We cut out the diseased metal entirely and weld in fresh steel instead.
How do you remove rust before repairing the metal?
We use media blasting, grinding, and chemical converters to strip away every trace of surface rust and deep oxidation down to clean, bare metal before any fabrication or welding begins.
Is my car too rusted to be worth repairing?
Bring it in for an assessment before assuming that. We handle everything from minor surface rust to more severe rust-through that requires fabricating and welding in custom panel sections, and can give you an honest read on whether repair makes sense for your vehicle.
Will rust come back after it's repaired?
Not if it's done properly. Because we remove the affected metal entirely rather than masking it, and refinish the repaired area to match your factory paint, there's no hidden oxidation left to resurface later.
Does insurance cover rust repair?
It depends on the cause. Rust caused by a specific covered event, like a collision that exposed bare metal, may be covered. Rust from general wear and long-term neglect typically isn't. We can help you understand which category your situation falls into.
Is the repaired area covered by warranty?
Yes. Once the rust is fully removed and the metal work and paint are complete, the repair is backed by our standard 5-year paint warranty.
