Icy Roads and Black Ice.

It’s that time of year for a tutorial on driving on the icy roads of Chicagoland.  Sometimes you just can’t avoid a collision when roads ice over, but you can definitely be prepared.  Your best bet is to know the weather for your entire route ahead of time.  This knowledge could help you slow down as slick spots approach, or you could avoid them altogether.


Here are some ways to avoid icy encounters-

1.  Make sure that your tires have the proper tread.
2.  Get new wiper blades so you can always see ahead.
3.  Run the air conditioner.  It may sound crazy, but it eliminates condensation on the windshield.
4.  Keep your headlights clear of snow and ice.
5.  Watch closely for black ice.  That puddle can be very dangerous.

Let’s stay safe as we drive throughout Chicagoland these next few months or so.  But if you need us we’ll be there as we have been for nearly 70 years.  We are Arrow Body and Fender Chicago’s auto repair professional for all of those decades.  If you have a vehicle mishap, give us a call so you can get back on the road.  Our Elmwood Park phone number is (708) 456-9424.

A Real Body Shop at Work.

When you walk through the front door of the average body shop what do you see?  It’s probably the front desk where they take your money.  Then there are some chairs and two year old magazines scattered about.  Oh yeah, don’t forget the tube television in the upper corner of the waiting room with that soap opera blaring that you would normally not watch even if you were in the hospital!

When you walk in the front door of Arrow Body and Fender, located at 7536 W. Grand Avenue in Elmwood Park, you see a REAL working body shop in action.  We have nothing to hide.  Our restorative geniuses are hard at work making vehicles return to the road looking better than ever.  We want you to see for yourself that we have the tools and knowledge to do the work 100% to your satisfaction.

Our people take pride in the finished product and the process that it takes to get there.  Just call our office from the scene of your accident.  We will take care of the entire process from start to finish.  We will help with the towing, rental car, filing the police report, and more!  If you have an unfortunate mishap just remember this phone number for Arrow Body and Fender (708) 456-9424.
