i’d rather degrease the underbody than deal with rust.

on that note, by the time spring rolls around, it’s not like there’s that much left on there anyways.

We had my sisters mazda6 done at schmidts (on sheridan & millersport) every fall since she bought it, for $100 / yr. It’s an '04 with ~60k miles and you could eat off the chassis.

The oily mess? I heard this referenced a few times, but its blown out of proportion IMO.  
For two - three days after its done, i had her park her car on the lawn, so as not to mess the drive. Other then that, not a single problem. No real overspray to speak of, and by the time spring came around there was no problem with the stuff.

If you have a winter car (that you like) with a clean underside, the $100/yr is well worth it. Hell, even if you dont like the car, you should have it done so that you can resell it more easily.
