As temperatures drop, small dings, cracks and paint chips on your vehicle can become bigger headaches to deal with. Winter precipitation, road salts and sands, and freeze-thaw cycles find their way into any exposed metal or plastic on your car causing even more damage.
Taking care of minor body repairs now helps protect your vehicle’s structure and finish all season long.
Even a dime-sized chip can damage your vehicles paint and sealant. Tiny bumper cracks can widen as plastic contracts in the cold. Addressing these issues early helps better shield your car from winter’s wear.
Maintaining proper function to all vehicle parts is also important. Proper panel alignment and intact weather seals make it easier for doors, trunks, and fuel doors to open and close when temperatures plunge. Clean, protected surfaces are also simpler to clear of snow and ice, supporting visibility and day‑to‑day safety on dark winter commutes.
For more than 50 years, Marv’s Body Shop has served Sioux Falls drivers with collision and body repair. Their team can remedy any issues your vehicle has following a quick pre‑winter check.
After Marv’s Body Shop has your vehicle winter-ready, be sure to maintain the work. Washing salt and sand off the body and undercarriage can help to prevent any further corrosion. When clearing snow and ice, use a soft brush or foam broom on painted panels and a plastic scraper only on glass. Avoid hacking at ice or pouring hot water on frozen surfaces, which can crack paint.
Contact the team at Marv’s Body Shop to get your vehicle ready for the winter weather ahead. Stop by 300 S. Cleveland Ave. in Sioux Falls or call 605-339-2241 to learn more.
