OUR HISTORY
Wink's Body Shop is a family-owned, second-generation-run local body and auto service shop serving drivers throughout Ithaca, NY. Since 2003, our mission has been to best serve every customer, working with them to offer results that prioritize their safety and convenience.
Todd Winkleblack, our owner, has been in the collision repair industry for over 25 years. Much of his experience has been in working for and with local shops and individuals. After learning the business from top to bottom, Todd opened a shop of his own. From a small garage in Todd’s home to the body shop standing today, demand has grown, and Wink's Body Shop has expanded to a full team of professionals serving a loyal list of clients, new and old.
Since 2009, Wink's Body Shop has been at its current location, serving Ithaca, NY and the surrounding communities. While we continued to grow, Todd stepped back and passed the management operations on to his son, Todd Jr. Since then, our team and client base continue to expand.
