Why Road Salt Destroys Your Car

Broadway (Route 20) Heavy Salt
State road receives priority treatment with heavy salt applications. Daily commuters accumulate massive undercarriage buildup.
Central Avenue Commercial Traffic
Village center gets constant treatment. Stop-and-go traffic means more salt contact time. Street parking equals 24/7 exposure.
Walden Avenue Corridor
High-traffic area connects to shopping and businesses. Heavy salt applications for safety create corrosive conditions.
Village Area Street Parking
Parked cars exposed to constant salt spray from plows and traffic. Hidden damage accumulates on undercarriage and wheel wells.

Road Salt Removal FAQs
Common questions about protecting your car from winter salt
How does Broadway (Route 20) affect salt damage in Lancaster?
Broadway (Route 20) is a heavily salted state road that runs through Lancaster as the main east-west corridor. Daily Route 20 drivers need frequent professional undercarriage cleaning to prevent rust.
How far is your shop from Lancaster?
Our shop at 4 1/2 S Fisher Road in Lackawanna is about 20-25 minutes from Lancaster. Take Broadway (Route 20) west through Depew to Buffalo, then 190 South to Lackawanna. Many Lancaster customers make it part of their regular winter routine.
I commute to Buffalo on Route 20 daily - how often should I get salt removal?
Daily Route 20 commuters should get professional salt removal every 2-3 weeks during peak winter months (December through March). Between professional details, a quick $80 Hand Wash removes surface salt. For maximum protection, start with our Deluxe Exterior package ($249.99) for thorough cleaning and ceramic wax that lasts 4-5 months.
What's the best winter routine for Lancaster drivers?
We recommend Lancaster drivers get a comprehensive Deluxe Exterior detail ($249.99) at the start of winter for deep cleaning and ceramic wax protection. Then schedule bi-weekly Hand Wash services ($80) throughout December-March to maintain that protection.
Does Lancaster's location away from the lake mean less salt?
Somewhat, but not significantly. While Lancaster doesn't get as much lake effect snow as South Towns, Erie County still applies heavy salt on major routes like Route 33, Broadway, and Central Avenue. Lancaster's distance from Lake Erie means slightly less frequent salt application, but winter maintenance is still essential. We recommend salt removal every 3-4 weeks for Lancaster vehicles.
How does Route 33 commuting affect salt exposure?
Route 33 (Kensington Expressway) is one of the most heavily salted highways in the region due to high traffic volume and state maintenance standards. Lancaster residents commuting to Buffalo via Route 33 see significant salt buildup, especially on wheel wells and undercarriage. The highway speed also means more salt spray from other vehicles. Daily Route 33 commuters should consider bi-weekly salt removal.
Is salt damage common from Lancaster village parking?
Lancaster village's walkable downtown sees regular salt application on streets and municipal lots during winter. Vehicles parked on Central Avenue or near the village center accumulate salt from both road treatment and pedestrian tracking. If you park in the village daily for work or shopping, monthly salt removal helps prevent long-term damage.
Do Walden Galleria commuters from Lancaster need frequent service?
Yes. Many Lancaster residents commute to Walden Galleria area for work or shopping, and the mall's massive parking lots are heavily salted. Combined with the Route 33/Walden Avenue corridor salt exposure, Galleria-area commuters from Lancaster see accelerated salt buildup. We recommend service every 2-3 weeks if you're in this area daily.
What's included in your Lancaster salt removal service?
Our salt removal service includes thorough undercarriage cleaning to remove salt buildup from frame rails, suspension components, and brake lines. We clean wheel wells, rocker panels, and lower body areas. Finally, we apply protective ceramic wax to help repel future salt accumulation. The full service takes 45-60 minutes at our shop.
Do you offer mobile service to Lancaster in winter?
Mobile service to Lancaster is available spring through fall only. During winter months (November-March), Lancaster residents visit our Lackawanna shop for salt removal. The 20-25 minute drive is worth it for thorough professional service with proper equipment and drainage. Many Lancaster customers make it a monthly routine combined with other errands.
