Summer time means more time spent on the open road and exploring uncharted territories in the wilderness, and enjoying a day out soaking up the rays on white sand beaches listening to the ocean waves.  Unfortunately, both of those things also mean your vehicle will have regular contact with one of Mother Nature’s finest creatures: birds!

While you’re appreciating a meadowlark in the woods or giggling at the tricky antics of a fry-stealing seagull, their little feathered patooties can wreak havoc on your precious automobile with just a few stray droppings.  The acid in the feces begins to burn and bubble the paint and clear coat.  It will etch into the paint and corrode it with rapid inte. Ugh!  But never fear, Classic’s Body Shop is here!  Let us save the day from villainous bird feces and help you protect your car.

If you’ve ever taken a car ride with kids, you know it’s almost always a “bumpy ride” so to speak.  With the advent of Summer, that means lots more trips: to the beach, to grandma’s, to the cabin, to the world’s biggest ball of yarn, etc etc.  And that means lots more need to keep the little ones entertained so you can arrive to your destination with minimal nerves frazzled.
