Where Were You Nearly 7 Decades Ago?

Most of you reading this are just chuckling at this point.  You were not even a gleam in mom and dad’s eyes at that point.  Chances are…mom and dad were not even around yet!  The year was 1948.  The Cleveland Indians were world champions…not our beloved Cubbies.  We were prospering as a nation in the aftermath of WWII.

Auto body repair was not anything like it is today.  The number of cars on the road was a fraction of what it is now.  The type of techniques used in that era were so primitive compared to today.  Obviously, an auto body shop did not have the tools or equipment to do the job that they are able to do these days.

That did not deter Joe Bellocchio Sr.  He was back from the war and ready to make a positive impact on the industry from his shop in Elmwood Park.  Now, 69 years later his son Joe Jr. and a truly remarkable staff give you the best in auto body repair in Chicagoland.  Discover that for yourself by calling for a free estimate at (708) 456-9424.

The Frustration of Not Sticking to an Estimate.

Is there anything more frustrating than a business or person giving you an estimate to have a job done and then changing it at the “moment of truth”?  It has happened to us all.  We just ask for fairness.  Give us your best price and stick to it!  It seems simple, but it takes a certain amount of integrity to do it time after time.

The word “estimate” by its very definition is not an exact science.  It is, however to be as precise as it can be when the final cost of a job is assessed.  In auto body repair, there is something known as the Mitchell System of estimating.  Do yourself a favor and look it up.  You will find that it is extremely customer friendly.

When you find the auto body shop that uses the Mitchell System you probably have found the right one.  Your friends at Arrow Body and Fender swear by it.  When you receive the estimate you will actually understand it!  See for yourself…call Chicagoland’s premier auto body repair shop for seven decades and make an appointment at (708) 456-9424.
