Having grown up in Charleston, owner and operator Cole Erdman has seen firsthand what our climate can do to vehicles. “My first truck was a Toyota Tacoma and I loved it to the point that I wanted to drive it until the wheels fell off. I took it in for service with only about 100k miles on it and the tech told me that I immediately needed to stop driving because the corrosion was so bad on the undercarriage, that it was unsafe to continue using. I was devastated that my prized truck was no longer road safe.”

Since then, Cole has worked in the automotive manufacturing industry, which has continued to drive his passion for all things cars and trucks. Putting his entrepreneurial spirit to work, he decided to make a career change and open a business that would solve the problem of rust and corrosion in the Lowcountry. After extensive research, he found the best company in the U.S. that provides products to protect vehicles from the damaging effects of salt and humidity, and he knew it had to be brought to our area.

NHOU Lowcountry was started with one purpose: to protect all vehicles in the Lowcountry from falling victim to rust and corrosion. Cole delivers the best-in-class corrosion protection for all vehicles, old and new, while also providing top-notch customer service . You’ll be hard-pressed to find another person as passionate about protecting vehicles from saltwater corrosion anywhere.
