I took my 2014 CRV into Leesburg Honda for maintenance (oil, tire rotation, etc) and discovered brakes needed attention. Wore gloves and brought a mask and wipes. Made morning appt so fewer people around. Went home. They did maintenance and brakes and called when done. I saw the cashier, paid and used my own pen. Took keys, paperwork, and happy car home. Bring a bag for their 'protective coverings'. Used gloves to drive home. Wiped handles and steering wheel and parked the car in the sun for two days.

The mechanic did not wear a face mask so I kept distance and talked on the phone. Be aware that the virus lives on metal for days. Closest contact was with cashier.

My daughter is a covid19 ICU nurse in Michigan and we are ready to rescue the young grandchildren, if needed. It is a long walk, so the car is a priority.
