Services
A full collision repair and restoration center. If it is sheet metal, structure, glass, or paint, it goes through this building. We do not farm out the work and hope for the best.
Repair
From a tapped bumper to a heavy hit. We repair what can be repaired and replace what has to be, and we show you which is which before we start.
Measured on the bench against factory specification, so the car tracks straight and the panel gaps close the way they did off the line.
Color matched to your vehicle, sprayed in a sealed booth, then cut and polished so the repair does not stand out from the panel beside it.
Door dings, hail damage, and creases massaged out from behind the panel. The factory paint stays on the car, which keeps the value on the car.
The small stuff that makes a good car look tired. Often a same-week job, and often cheaper than people expect.
Windshield and door glass replacement handled alongside the body repair, so the car goes through one shop instead of three.
Restoration
Restoration is slower, more honest work than insurance repair. There is no adjuster setting the standard. The metal sets it. We take on full restorations and partial revivals, and we will tell you straight what a project is going to take before you commit to it.
The other half of the job
A repair is not finished when the paint cures. It is finished when the claim is closed, the rental is returned, and you are back in your own car.
A named service rep owns your repair. They book the rental, pick you up wherever you are, and answer the phone when you call back.
Not a manager who deals with adjusters sometimes, but a licensed insurance producer on staff who works the claim with you.
Progress photos go to you and your adjuster while the repair moves, so nobody has to guess where the car is.
Bring a written estimate from another shop. We go through it line by line and show you where it can come down.
Bring it in. We will read it line by line with you and point out where the numbers can come down or where a repair is being replaced unnecessarily. There is no charge and no obligation to have the work done here.
Insurance
Your insurer may recommend a shop, or push for one. In Illinois the choice is still yours. An insurer is judged on what a claim costs them; we are judged on whether the car is right afterwards.
We accept most insurance companies, work directly with adjusters, handle supplements ourselves, and take major credit cards for deductibles and out-of-pocket work.
Send a few photos. We will tell you what we see and what it is likely to run.
