Car Service is an Essential Service – And Here’s Why

Since Governor Andrew Cuomo signed Executive Order 202.8 into law, Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge has transitioned its sales operations to remote availability, but the parts and service departments have remained opened. At first glance, it might be difficult to understand why car repairs fall into the same categories as public utilities, food processing, medical services, and research labs. By no means do we put our work on the same level as the doctors, nurses, and researchers putting their lives on the line to provide life-saving care, but we also understand that they cannot do their work without a reliable means of transportation. They already have enough to worry about, and they shouldn’t have to worry that their car won’t make it home at the end of the day.

For New Yorkers who are furloughed or working from home, car service is still essential for several reasons. First, most people will have to go to the grocery store, pick up a prescription, or other rare errands, and if their store or pharmacy isn’t within walking distance, they will need a working car. Second, some healthy individuals who aren’t considered a high risk for contracting COVID-19 are helping their friends and neighbors with compromised immune systems. They are picking up food, medication, disinfectant, and other household essentials for people who can’t leave their homes. In these cases, taking public transit or walking is impractical and could also create unnecessary risk of exposure.
