Our company history.

In the cold, unforgiving climate of Ottawa, Canada, where winters are harsh and road conditions can wreak havoc on vehicles, Barry Haynes had a vision in 1988 when he saw a need to help his community keep their cars and trucks in pristine condition. He saw the need for a solution to protect vehicles from the relentless assault of rust and corrosion brought on by the Canadian weather. This vision became the foundation for OilShield, a local business that would grow to become a trusted partner in automotive care.

Barry Haynes was a dedicated and forward-thinking entrepreneur who had spent years in the automotive industry, learning about the unique challenges that Canadian drivers faced. He understood that salt, sand, and the extreme temperature fluctuations of Ottawa's climate could cause severe damage to vehicles, accelerating rust and corrosion at an alarming rate. Many residents of Ottawa were frustrated by the deterioration of their beloved cars and trucks, which were often investments they relied on for daily transportation and work.

Motivated by a desire to make a difference, Barry set out to develop a revolutionary solution. He assembled a team of skilled professionals and automotive experts to research, design, and perfect a rust protection system tailored to Ottawa's specific weather conditions. This system would go beyond the conventional methods available at the time.

The result of their hard work and dedication was the birth of OilShield. The company introduced a groundbreaking rust protection service that combined advanced technology with a deep understanding of local needs. OilShield's innovative approach included applying a specialized rust inhibitor and sealant to vehicle underbodies, creating a protective barrier that shielded against the corrosive effects of salt, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.

The Ottawa community quickly embraced OilShield as their go-to solution for preserving their vehicles. Barry's commitment to quality, safety, and service excellence made OilShield a trusted brand, and it didn't take long for the business to expand its reach to surrounding areas, ultimately becoming a regional success.

Over the years, OilShield continued to innovate and refine its methods, staying at the forefront of rust protection technology. The company's success was not just in preventing rust but also in fostering a sense of trust and reliability among its loyal customers.

Barry Haynes's vision to help the people of Ottawa keep their vehicles in optimum condition by protecting them against rust brought on by the Canadian weather had become a reality. OilShield became a symbol of automotive care, a testament to the dedication of its founder, and a source of pride for the Ottawa community.
