I did it at a local shop, about 100 bucks, never do dealership undercoating. Dealership wanted over 800 dollars, that's eight years worth of undercoating.

The warranty they offer with their undercoating is only valid if you bring it in for annual inspection which they will charge you to do touch up or else they void the warranty.

Learned the hard way with my previous car.

Find a reputable shop and they will do a better job.

Hey, where did you take yours to get coated? Did they spray the entire underbody with oil? didn't harm any electronics? Thx.

Noticed that some of you guys are in Canada. Why stop at only undercoating when for a few more bucks you can get the entire car done?

Canadian Tire widely introduced their spraying service a few years ago ~ you can choose from 3 different levels the 1st level of which is only undercoating ~ and the pricing is pretty competitive.

Level 2 is more than sufficient and Level 3 IMO is overkill.

Why do you need undercoating when the underside has plastic covers? We have plenty of snow and salt up north and my previous IS was perfectly fine after 7 winters.

The only benefit I see with undercoating is the interior may be a bit quieter.

I would think the car is fine as is from the factory. Lexus probably accounted for this. But if you guys in Canada feels it helps you, I guess go for it.
