Did it take the rust off? :D

The mechanic was telling me i should order new suspension and all that since rust spreads fast. Does he just want my money?

Seriously, your underside looks fine.. Better then most cars that get out in the rain once in awhile... Your mechanic is a thief....WW

There is nothing in the photo you show to be concerned with. Your "mechanic" is a liar and a fraud.

Most of your suspension parts are aluminum, and thus, can't rust. It's time to find a new mechanic.

Absolutely! Bring her over any time, and I can confirm your claims and post them here for the "Doubting Thomases."

Simply for logistics reasons, I would highly suggest that you leave her here overnight.

On an unrelated topic, how old is she and what does she weigh? :confused:
