Mobile Rustproofing & Equipment Washing in Newmarket

Newmarket runs roughly from Bathurst Street east to Highway 404, and from St. John’s Sideroad up toward Green Lane. Inside that footprint are some of the busiest roads in northern York Region. Yonge Street and Davis Drive meet at the town’s main commercial crossroads, Davis Drive and Mulock Drive both tie into Highway 404, and Green Lane along the north edge is a truck route across toward Highway 400.

All of those roads are salted through the winter, and the slush thrown up by traffic coats everything that drives on them. Brine works into frame rails, crossmembers, hitch receivers, brake lines and the bottoms of doors and tailgates. Stop-and-go driving on the Yonge and Davis corridors keeps vehicles sitting in that wet spray, and the freeze-thaw swings of an Ontario winter keep re-wetting any salt that has already dried onto the steel.

The work in town is varied. The Newmarket Industrial Park, between Leslie Street and Highway 404 north of Mulock Drive, is zoned for business and industrial use and is full of delivery and service fleets, forklifts and trailers. Planned growth around the Yonge-Davis intersection, along Yonge Street and around the historic downtown on Main Street South brings excavators, loaders, cranes and concrete trucks onto local sites. And residential neighbourhoods from Stonehaven-Wyndham to Summerhill Estates are full of pickups, SUVs and family vehicles making the same salty commute every day.

Then there are the trucks that work the salt instead of just driving through it. Snow plow and salter trucks clearing Newmarket lots and roads take the worst of it: brine on the frame, salt around the spreader, slush packed into every bracket and mount. We rustproof plow and salter trucks too, ideally before the first storm, followed by a thorough wash-down in spring.
