Ziebart undercoating: An places in Indiana?
I will be moving to bloomington in mid april to go to grad school. What ziebart places are there around there and what is the price. The last time I checked it was about 1200 for "the works" Body, chassis etc.
I need to get two southern vehicles done. After indiana, i will be going to Upstate NY, so this needs to last.

P.S. What are good all season/snow tires for a SUV like a Yukon? I was thinking Nitto Dura Grapplers. I was qouted 144 per tire and includes mount and balance. They come with a 50K warranty.
I was also thinking of bridgestone AT revos:
Wal Mart charges 625ish for 4 mounted.

There's a Ziebart location in Bloomington, http://www.ziebart.com/locations/55/ as far as price, I don't know. I had my whole truck sprayed with line-x and it cost 2K.
Revos are VERY good light A/T tires. I almost got them for Purpl, but I couldnt find a place locally that installs Bridgestones (until I bought my Goodyears and saw the other place in town does them. doh!).
Dont get your tires at Walmart.
My truck has been in southern Indiana since it rolled off the CSX train car in early 1999. No undercoating that I know of, and yet there is very little surface rust on the frame and the rockers and door bottoms are just starting to rust.
Then again there was a '86 GMC S-15 at the junkyard that had spent it's whole life here too that had much less rust than Purpl and was Ziebart coated. Frame was spotless, the doors and cab corners were solid. Compared to the '86 Blazer I used to have that also spent its whole life here, it was friggin cherry.

I've heard very mixed reviews of Ziebart. Apparently, the thing that matters most is whether or not the shop gets a truly full coating down or leaves gaps in the blind areas where no one can see to inspect the job. All it takes as I understand it is one good gap and it's game over for that piece.
On the other hand, if you can't afford to take the time to tear the body apart and do it up with something like POR-15, then ya gotta do whatcha gotta do. Just a bit of food for thot.
