MANITOBA DRIVER UPDATE: That pothole wasn't just a bump in the road!

One minute you're cruising along, minding your own business. The next…THUNK😣!

You hit a pothole and immediately wonder, “Was that bad?”

Here in Manitoba, potholes can be a real headache. And while not every bump cause damage, a hard hit can affect your tires, wheels, suspension, steering, or even parts underneath your vehicle.

Here's what to watch for after hitting a pothole:

Bulges or cuts in your tires⬇️
🔧New clunking or knocking noises
🚗Your vehicle pulling to one side
〰️Vibrations in the steering wheel
💧Unexpected fluid leaks
🚨New dashboard warning lights

Here's the important part: just because your vehicle still drives doesn't automatically mean everything is fine.

If something feels different, get it inspected. And if your vehicle is difficult to control, has serious tire damage, or is leaking fluid, stop somewhere safe and arrange assistance rather than risking the drive.

SWIPE through the carousel, save these tips, and share them with a driver who seems to attract every pothole in Southeast Manitoba!

Have you ever hit a pothole so hard you thought you'd left a wheel behind?

DID YOU KNOW? Sometimes, a little temporary repair can make a big difference!

Ever wonder what happens when your vehicle has damaged or lose body parts, but your full repair appointment is still coming up?

At Funk’s Autobody, we know that after an accident, there can be a few things to take care of before your vehicle gets its full repair.

As you can see in these photos, we sometimes use clips, ties, and other appropriate temporary securing methods to help hold damaged parts in place until the scheduled repair.
Why do we take the time to do this?

🔧To help prevent loose parts from becoming road debris. Damaged bumpers and body panels can loosen further while driving.

🚗To help keep things secure. Where appropriate, we can secure certain parts temporarily rather than leaving them hanging loose.

🛠️To help prepare for the full repair. This temporary work is not the final fix. It’s about addressing immediate concerns while the vehicle awaits its repair appointment.

⚠️Here’s the important part: Not every damaged vehicle is safe to drive, even if the bumper or panel can be secured. Damage near headlights, tires, steering, sensors, or other safety-related components may mean the vehicle needs to be towed instead. Our team can help assess the damage and determine the safest next step.

At Funk’s Autobody in Steinbach, we believe looking after our customers means paying attention to the little things, too. It’s not just about fixing the damage when your appointment arrives. It’s about helping you make informed decisions along the way.

👇Have you ever noticed a vehicle driving around with a loose bumper or body panel? Now you know why getting that damage checked out matters!

Communities are built by people who care.

The campaign signs are out, the candidates are making their rounds, and our local communities are getting ready for voting day this Wednesday!🗳️

No matter what’s on your calendar this week, here’s a little Monday reminder from all of us at FAB Collison:

➡️It takes people who show up to make a community stronger.
➡️A little kindness goes a long way.
➡️And sometimes, the smallest things we do for one another make the biggest difference.

Whether you're putting your name forward, volunteering your time, supporting a local initiative, or simply being a good neighbour, you help make Southeast Manitoba a great place to call home.

So, let’s start this week by showing a little extra kindness, supporting one another, and remembering what makes small-town life special.

Have a great Monday, everyone! And whatever your week brings, make it a good one🍁

Think autobody technicians just fix dents and repair bumpers? Think again!

Sometimes, collision repair means taking apart a whole lot more than just the body panels!

As you can see here, our technician has the front end opened up, with components that are essential to the vehicle’s operation exposed and out of the way. Getting a vehicle back to pre-accident condition can involve working around complex mechanical systems, carefully removing and reinstalling components, and making sure everything goes back together the way it should.

Our technicians need more than a good eye for bodywork. They need technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and an understanding of how all the pieces work together.

At Funk’s Autobody, there’s a whole lot more happening behind the scenes than meets the eye

🦌MANITOBA DRIVER UPDATE: Deer season is here, and the deer are NOT checking for traffic!

Fall in Manitoba means beautiful colours, cooler weather, and deer who apparently think they have the right of way. 👀🦌

And here in Southeast Manitoba, this is something worth paying attention to!

According to Manitoba Public Insurance, October and November are the riskiest months for wildlife collisions. That means your morning commute or evening drive home deserves a little extra attention.

A few reminders from your friends at Funk’s Autobody:

⚠️Watch the ditches! Deer can appear suddenly, especially near wooded areas and tall grass.

⚠️Be extra alert at dawn and dusk. That's when deer are particularly active.

⚠️See one deer? Look for more! They often travel in groups.

⚠️Ease off the gas. Slowing down gives you more time to react.

⚠️If a deer jumps out, brake firmly and stay in control. Avoid swerving suddenly into oncoming traffic or the ditch.

And remember, deer don't understand stop signs, traffic lights, or the value of a good paint job.

We'd much rather see you get home safely than see your vehicle roll into our shop with an unexpected wildlife story!

👇LET'S HEAR IT!

Have you ever had a close call with a deer on a Manitoba road? Or has one ever left you with a vehicle repair story to tell?

Share your experience in the comments! And please, drive safe out there, folks.

Well, look what rolled into Funk’s!

We see all kinds of vehicles come through our doors, but Jeeps? Not something we get every day!

And this colour? Now THAT is a breath of fresh air! 💚🔥

Let's be honest, when so many vehicles on the road are black, white, silver or grey, seeing a fun colour like this definitely catches your eye.

This Jeep is bringing a little extra personality to the shop this week, and we're not mad about it!

YOUR TURN! 👇

If you could pick ANY colour for your vehicle, what would it be?

💚 Bright green?
💜 Purple?
💙 Electric blue?
🧡 Something bold and completely out there?

Drop your dream vehicle colour in the comments!

Let's see who would keep it classic and who would go ALL OUT! 😂👇

You think you've had an interesting family road trip? Wait until you hear this one.

This vehicle arrived at Funk’s with quite the story to tell.

The customer was heading back to Manitoba after visiting family in Terrace, BC, when things took a very unexpected turn near Prince George, BC.

A moose crossed their path and even though they tried to move over to avoid hitting this massive beast, they hit it.

The damage was significant, including a badly shattered windshield.

And here's where this road-trip story gets a little wild...

The family was in the vehicle when it happened, but thankfully, everyone was okay.

With a long way still to go to get home, they had to get creative. They used props to help keep the damaged windshield from caving in while they made the journey back to Manitoba.

Yep, they drove all the way from BC back to Manitoba with that windshield.

By the time this vehicle arrived at Funk’s, it definitely had a story to tell.

Sometimes you think you're just taking a family road trip just to come back home and Funk's Autobody ends up being the destination for a very unexpected repair story.

We're just grateful that everyone made it home safely and that nobody was hurt.

👇YOUR TURN!
Have you ever had something completely unexpected happen on a family road trip?

Maybe a wildlife encounter, a breakdown, a crazy weather event, or just one of those “You're never going to believe what happened…” stories.

A few jacks here💪
A little teamwork there🤜🤛

And suddenly, we’ve got ourselves a level playing field.

Because when the vehicle can't support itself, we figure out a way to make it work.

When your vehicle decides it doesn't want to stand on its own 4 wheels, we improvise.

Not every vehicle that arrives at Funk's Autobody is driveable, mobile, or even sitting the way we'd like it to.
Sometimes the first step isn't repairing the damage, it's figuring out how we're going to safely position the vehicle so we can actually get to work.

In this case, our team used jacks to help level and support the vehicle so the repair process could begin.
It's one of those behind-the-scenes things you don't normally see, but problem-solving is a pretty big part of collision repair.

Different vehicle. Different damage. Different challenge.

Same goal➡️figure it out and get the job done right.

Ever seen a repair where the team had to get creative to make it work?

The wind has entered its “autobody shop” era.

Well, the temperature is dropping, the wind is picking up, and apparently Mother Nature decided she wanted to send a few extra jobs our way.

You know it’s getting cooler when you step outside and your first thought is:

“Yep. Jacket weather.”

And when the wind starts throwing leaves, branches and random Manitoba debris around, your vehicle might be thinking:

“Could we PLEASE just make it through fall without an incident?”

A little seasonal reminder from your friends at Funk’s:
🍂Give yourself a little extra space on windy days.
🚗Watch for debris blowing onto the road.
🚪Be careful opening your doors when the wind is really moving.

And if something does make an unfortunate connection with your vehicle, we're here when you need us.

Because around here, we like our vehicles coming through the shop because they need repairs and not because the wind sent them.😂

What's the most ridiculous thing you've ever seen blowing across a Manitoba road?👇

Tell us in the comments!
We know there's some good ones out there.

Meet Andy...but don't expect this to happen again anytime soon.

After some serious convincing (and probably a little begging), we finally got our veteran technician in front of the camera!

Andy is one of those guys who keeps the shop entertaining with his quick wit, sarcasm, practical jokes, legendary stories and an impressive ability to scare the life out of his coworkers. 😆

He may not love being on social media, but we’re pretty lucky to have him on the Funk’s team.

So, if you’ve ever had Andy work on your vehicle, give him a 👋 in the comments and let him know you saw his big social media debut!

And Andy, don't worry. We won't tell anyone how much you secretly enjoyed this.😉😂
