OEM…PDQ

That sounds confusing, doesn’t it?  Not if you break it down.  OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer.  If a body shop is using anything less, then you had better know about it from the very get-go.  At most independent autobody shops you get aftermarket parts.  It does not take a rocket scientist to know that these may not last as long.

So, why is OEM important.  I mean, surely aftermarket parts must be nearly as good as original equipment parts, or they would not exist, would they?  Well, you don’t want to pay for a part to be installed and then pay again down the road because the aftermarket part was defective.  We believe in using new OEM parts in returning your vehicle to pre-accident condition.

What is the object of taking your car to a body shop?  We think it is to get back on the road without any noticeable difference in the way it handles.  That is what we pledge at Arrow Body and Fender.  It was the mission of our patriarch Joe Sr. and continues to be, more than 7 decades later.  Our shop is at 7536 W. Grand Ave in Elmwood Park.  Call us at (708) 456-9424.

Tow, Tow, Tow your Car Gently to the Shop.

What you don’t need at a time like this is more things to think about.  You were involved in an accident and your vehicle needs to get from the collision site to the auto body shop.  Once you have checked out everyone at the scene and know that all is well with the people involved you turn your attention to the future of your ride.

The cost and the hassle of towing should not be on your mind.  If you deal with us and call one of our approved towing companies, we will cover the cost of the tow in the majority of cases.  There, one less thing to worry about!  You may not only qualify for a free tow, but some of the storage costs as well.

Here at Arrow Body and Fender we want you to concentrate on getting your vehicle back and on the road better than ever.  Arrow Body and Fender has been one of Chicagoland’s most reliable body shops for better than seven decades.  We will take great care of your car.  Remember our location at 7536 W. Grand Ave in Elmwood Park.  Call (708) 456-9424.
