Minnesota Rust Prevention isn't just a business; it's a family tradition built on generations of experience.
The story begins in 1971, when W.A. James and his brother Sylvester started their detailing careers at a small shop on Plymouth Ave. in north Minneapolis. Their passion for the craft grew, and by 1980, they were joined by my uncle Wes to venture out on their own.
What began in a driveway workshop soon expanded to a garage bay at their house. Their dedication to quality and care built a strong reputation, and the need for a dedicated space became clear. They moved to a rented location in Little Canada, where the tradition continued until my father's passing in 2003.
I started young, joining the team at 16 in 1987. After graduating in 1989, I went full-time, learning the craft alongside my brother Will and uncle Sylvester. In 2013, we took over the shop, carrying on the legacy of excellence.
In 2020, I branched out to incorporate undercoating and ceramic coating services into our offerings. Minnesota Rust Prevention was born in 2021, combining these new technologies with the generations of knowledge passed down to me.
Today, Minnesota Rust Prevention is your one-stop shop for complete car care. We offer a comprehensive range of services, from paint correction and scratch removal to full-body restoration, all designed to protect your valuable investment.
We understand that your car or truck is more than just a vehicle; it's a source of pride and freedom. That's why we're committed to providing the highest quality care, using the latest technologies alongside the time-tested techniques passed down through generations.
