I Prefer My Own Body Shop.

Almost all insurance companies today have what are referred to as “DRP” or Direct Repair Programs.  A specific auto body shop that is a part of this program belongs to a referral network created by insurance companies.  Really?  So, the insurance companies pretty much dictate what you will do to restore your vehicle to “like new” condition no matter what you think.

Unfortunately, this kind of referral relationship often creates a conflict of interest as the repair facility considers the insurance company to be their customer...NOT YOU!  The insurance company, therefore, becomes their top priority, at the expense of the vehicle owner.  You may hear the words “that shop isn’t on our preferred network”.

If you prefer to have the work done by a trusted member of the Elmwood Park community and 70+ year fixture in Chicagoland then we will serve you with the best auto body repair work in the area.  We are Arrow Body and Fender located at 7536 W. Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park.  Remember, it is always ultimately YOUR CHOICE!  Call us at (708) 456-9424.

Making Estimating More of an Exact Science.


We all understand that an estimate is just that.  It is a “guess-timate” of the final cost of something.  While we don’t expect it to be precise, we do want it to reflect something close to the final cost.  Now, with the Mitchell Estimating System auto body repair shops can make as perfect of an estimated final cost as there is.

What does the Mitchell System do for the shop?

1.  It creates an estimate that is reliable and accepted throughout the industry.
2.  It is easy to connect with customers.
3.  It avoids costly errors.
4.  It gives the shop access to the recommended parts that will be needed for the repair.

The bottom line is…The Mitchell System is the state of the art in auto body repair.  You know who is proud to feature that system?  It is the 70+ year old auto body shop located at 7536 W, Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park…Arrow Body and Fender…that’s who!  Having the right people and the right equipment is what it’s all about.  Call Arrow Body and Fender at (708) 456-9424.
