Relax…We will take care of ALL of your car’s repairs.

A car accident leaves you shaken even if there are no injuries.  How much damage has been done?  Where should you go to have it repaired?  Are there mechanical problems in addition to the visible physical damage?  These are questions that swirl through your mind as you try to get back to normal.

If you could find an auto body repair shop with certified mechanics onboard so that you did not have to worry about your vehicle being “pinballed” around the Chicago area wouldn’t you choose that one?  It just makes sense.  If all of the auto body and mechanical work could be done under one roof, then that should be the way to go.

Arrow Body and Fender does it all.  Nearly every mechanical repair and all body repairs are done on site at 7536 West Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park.  It is conveniently located for most Chicagoans and they have been around for more than seven decades!  Give them a call to have your precious vehicle repaired at (708) 456-9424.

OEM…OMG!

In some cases, if you take your car to an independent body shop, you'll most likely get aftermarket car parts.  Is there anything wrong with that?  Does a less expensive part mean a poorer-quality part?  One thing you absolutely DON’T want to do is pay for a part to be installed and then pay again later just because the part was defective.

An aftermarket part is any part for a vehicle that is not sourced from the car's maker.  There are many companies that makes parts designed to function the same way.  They are usually less expensive.  But then the quality may vary greatly as well, as there are an overwhelming number of choices.  Not only that, but is the warranty the same?

We here at Arrow Body and Fender recommend OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts.  We believe that the slight extra cost up front will be more than offset by the peace of mind you will have driving around with the same parts that were originally designed for your vehicle.  Stop by our shop located at 7536 W. Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park or call (708) 456-9424.
