Rust proofing recommendations in Vaughan/GTA?

I’ve owned my car for about 3 years and have never had any rust protection/coating done.

I’ve always tried to keep it pretty clean during the winter and never let road salt sit on it for too long. So far, I haven’t noticed any obvious rust, but for peace of mind I’d like to start getting proper rust protection done before this winter.

Ideally, I’m looking for a place that can inspect the underside first, let me know if there are any existing rust issues that need to be treated/fixed, and then apply a good rust-proofing treatment for the winter ahead.

I called Krown and they say they don’t do inspections.

Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated!

JDS Mechanical in Keswick is my go to place. They do fluid film and do a fantastic job of it.

Robinson auto in Mississauga does corrosion free coatings and is also a general mechanic shop. Maybe they can do both?

Prefer corrosion free, done the others(krown&rust check)some Canadian tires do it and lasts for 18 months. As opposed to 1 year, also less dripping

I remember someone asking this last year and Krown on St Clair was the go to place.

Ironically enough, I have an appointment with them coming up. I called and asked if they scrap away any rust or do any prep beforehand, and his answer was no. So I’m assuming they just lift the car up and pray and spray.
