Wink's Body Shop Knows That Keeping Your Car Running is More Important than Ever

battery checking
Life will be returning to some semblance of normal over the next few months, which means we’ll all be back on the roads. But after months of sitting idle, your car may be performing very well. Any vehicle is going to be sluggish after weeks or even months being used for only the occasional trip for groceries.

Battery Replacement and Charging in Ithaca

If you haven’t been the one making those trips, you run an even greater risk of problems. A dead battery is at the top of the list of potential problems if you haven’t been regularly starting your car. Wink’s Body Shop offers battery sales in Ithaca for every make and model, so you won’t have to panic if you discover your battery has died.

Sometimes your battery needs to be charged because it’s drained while it’s been idle, so it’s always a good idea to get it tested once you’re ready to hit the road again. We offer battery testing in Ithaca that’s quick and reliable, so you know whether your battery needs charged, or it would be better to replace it.
Protecting You and Your Budget
Getting back to normal will take time for all of us. There will be adjustments to make. Families will have to move forward in new ways. Many of us will have to adjust our budgets after weeks or months of not working. But having a car that runs properly to get you to and from work and school will be even more important in the days ahead. We are proud to offer some of the most professional and affordable automotive services on Ithaca to keep you on the road without breaking our budget. We offer free estimates so you’ll know ahead of time what it will cost and we’ll stand behind our work with a warranty. If you run into a problem down the road, bring your car or truck back to us and we’ll take care of the problem.
Warmer Days Ahead
As longer days return, so will hotter afternoons and warmer nights. Your car or truck will not only have to get you to where you’re going; it will have to keep you cool and keep from overheating. It’s not an easy thing to do during a New York summer! The best time to get cooling systems checked in Ithaca is before the temperatures soar. At Wink’s Body Shop, we’ll check your cooling system, top off your fluids and make sure the fan is working correctly so your engine won’t overheat and neither will you, even on those scorching triple-digit days!

Wink’s Body Shop is confident that better days are ahead for all of us, and we want to be part of Ithaca’s return to prosperity and health. Part of that is being able to get back to work and back to living our lives. Getting back on the road will help us do that. Give us a call soon to schedule a time for all your automotive services in Ithaca, New York so that when it’s time, your car will be in top shape to hit the road running.
