Rust repair and seam sealing stops corrosion before it eats into your Sprinter body and floor. We cut out rusted metal, weld in fresh panels, and reseal the seams and welds so moisture stays out, which matters for older vans driven around Riverside and the coast.

Frequently asked questions
Can you just paint over Sprinter rust?
No. Paint over active rust keeps spreading underneath. We cut back to clean metal and reseal the seams so the corrosion is actually stopped, not just hidden.
Where does a Riverside Sprinter usually rust first?
Lower door edges, wheel arches, the rear step, and floor seams collect moisture and road grime first. Catching those early keeps a small repair from becoming structural.
