Revisiting Body Shop History.

We have done this before in this space, but we feel that longevity has great merit in the auto body industry.  When you have attained seven decades of excellence within a family we think it is worth “crowing about”!  That’s right it was 70+ years ago when Big Joe Bellocchio returned from WWII and began his tenure at Utility Trade School.

From there, Big Joe struck out on his own in 1948 and opened Arrow Body and Fender Service in Chicago.  This was a guy that jumped in with both feet, constantly learning every state-of-the-art innovation in auto body repair.  Business became so good that in 1963 Big Joe moved his business to a spacious new location in Elmwood Park.

Today, Joseph Jr. runs the show.  He started out as an insurance adjuster which is great for us as he knows BOTH sides of the industry.  In 1985, he joined Arrow Body and Fender to continue the family legacy of great auto body service.  The business continues to grow and prosper and is becoming an Elmwood Park landmark.  Give them a call or stop in at their 7536 W.

"Why do we love Thanksgiving in Chicago so much? When you live in a city with good food and great people, it's easy to find something that you're thankful for."

What Part of the Parts Sets Us Apart?

Huh?  What does that even mean?  In this reference to parts the subject is auto parts.  When your vehicle falls apart because of an accident the most important next step is to replace the damaged parts with exactly the right ones.  If anything less is done, problems with navigating your vehicle will begin and continue.

For one thing, you never want to pay for a part to be installed and then pay again because the part was defective.  Americans do this every day because they are in a hurry to get their car road-worthy again. We recommend the use of new OEM parts (original equipment manufacturer) in returning your vehicle to its pre-accident condition.

One note here, we understand that most of you are on a budget.  We will also give you the price of less expensive value line parts to meet YOUR particular budget.  We are Arrow Body and Fender Chicagoland’s premier quality parts body shop.  Always try to get an estimate from us…Arrow Body and Fender at (708) 456-9424.
