Chicagoland’s Icy Roads.

Is it just me or did it seem like we got hit with winter WAY too early this time?  Before the season was even officially on the calendar we had sub-zero temperatures and several inches of snow.  No one knows for sure what the next two months or so will bring, but one thing is certain, there will be more ice and snow to negotiate on Chicago’s roads.

Many of the surface streets in the suburbs do not get cleared as quickly as the expressways, so be particularly diligent when negotiating those streets.  The only good news is that, generally speaking, drivers are slowing down.  That means when an accident occurs it does not necessarily “total” your vehicle.

If your pride and joy is injured, but not destroyed there is one perfect answer to restore it back to the beauty that it was before the accident.  Your car is part of your family and it needs to not only be road worthy, but looking its best as well.  The answer for nearly seven decades is Arrow Body and Fender.  If Chicagoland’s icy roads get the better of you, please call us for an estimate at our body shop located in Elmwood Park (708) 456-9424.

Detailed Insurance Reports.

Details, details, details.  That is what so much of life is all about.  When we hear that you need to dot every i and cross every t it applies to auto accident insurance claims as well.  When a crash occurs on Chicago’s winter highways, fortunately it is normally not at high speeds because of the driving conditions. That is the good news. 

The bad news is that people tend not to get every minute detail about the damage that has been done to their vehicle.  Then when it comes time to repair ALL of the damage something gets missed.  It may not seem like much at the time, but boy that rattling side view mirror is really annoying and will still need to be replaced with a separate trip.

Arrow Body and Fender of Elmwood Park has seen it time and time again over the last 70 years.  That’s right…70 years!  Joe Bellacchio and his dad saw it on the Studebakers and are seeing it on the hybrids.  No one is thinking ahead to the next time that they need collision repair, but when you do make sure that you get a complete report from your insurance company.  Then call Arrow Body and Fender of Elmwood Park Illinois at (708) 456-9424.
