What We Offer
Complete Oxidation Removal
Covering rust up is not a repair. We grind down to bare metal, cut away severely corroded sections, and weld in fresh steel so the corrosion has nothing to come back to.
Corrosion Prevention Treatments
Once the metal is clean, we seal it: specialized epoxy primers, rust inhibitors, and undercoatings lock out the moisture, salt, and oxygen that started the problem.
Seamless Metal Fabrication
Where damage is extensive, or on a classic with unavailable panels, our fabricators hand-shape custom metal patches that follow the vehicle's original contours exactly.
Our Process
From initial assessment to final inspection, here's what to expect when you bring your vehicle to Texas Five Star.
Thorough Inspection
We assess the visible rust and probe for hidden structural corrosion underneath paint bubbles or undercarriage components.
Eradication & Cutting
We aggressively remove all oxidized metal. For surface rust, we grind to bare steel. For deep rot, we cut out the affected area entirely.
Welding & Shaping
New sheet metal is precision-welded into place, ground smooth, and shaped to restore the exact factory body lines.
Sealing & Refinishing
The repair is sealed with epoxy primer to prevent future moisture intrusion, then color-matched, painted, and clear-coated.

Rust Repair FAQ for Richardson Drivers
Is rust repair worth it on an older car?
It depends on the extent of the damage and the value of the vehicle. Surface rust should always be treated to prevent spreading. We offer free estimates to help you make an informed decision. That convenience matters while your car is in the shop: we're only about 5 min from Richardson.
Why can't you just paint over rust?
Painting over rust only hides the problem temporarily. Rust is an active chemical reaction; if not completely removed and sealed, it will continue eating the metal underneath the new paint. For Richardson drivers, our Garland shop is about 5 min away, so drop-off and pickup are easy to fit around your day.
Do you repair rusted frames?
Yes, we have the capability to weld and reinforce frames affected by corrosion, provided the structural integrity can be safely restored to factory standards. Most Richardson customers reach us via US-75 / Central Expressway.
How long does rust repair take?
Minor surface rust can be repaired in a few days. Extensive panel replacement or custom metal fabrication can take one to two weeks. We'll provide a clear timeline during your consultation. We handle rust repair for drivers from Richardson as well as nearby Plano and Garland.
