WWII is a Long-Ago Era for Some.

Not so much for us here at Arrow Body and Fender.  In 1946 our patriarch Joseph Bellocchio Sr. returned from serving in the South Pacific in WWII.  He begins working with his father at a business known as Bellocchio Salt and Trucking Service.  He soon realizes that the post-war boom means an influx of more cars around Chicago.

Then in 1948 (72 years ago) grandpa Joe opens Arrow Body and Fender Service on Maplewood and Fullerton in Chicago…and the legend began!  Because of quality work and impeccable customer service the business eventually begins to flourish.  By 1963 he finds a perfect spot in Elmwood Park to open his current location.

Now, decades later son Joseph Bellocchio Jr. carries on the tradition with care and excellence.  Arrow Body and Fender still honors the memory of Joe Sr. by keeping his photo on the front of their website arrowbodyandfender.com.  Suffice to say, if you need auto body repair in Chicagoland count on Arrow Body and Fender every time at 7536 W. Grand Avenue in Elmwood Park.

Whether Building a House or Repairing Auto Damage the Story’s the Same.

Like it or not frame damage is quite common; it occurs in roughly 50 percent of all auto accidents.  When rebuilding your car or building a home you always start with the frame and work your way outward.  If the frame of your vehicle gets damaged in an accident or collision, you'll need our help.

We have over seven decades of experience straightening Chicagoland vehicle frames, then working on the other aspects of auto body repair to return your vehicle to the road looking as good as new.  We have an auto body frame machine that uses hydraulics to provide the torque and leverage required to pull the damaged frame back to factory specifications.

Trust and believe, you will be amazed when you come to our shop and retrieve your beauty!  If you need us anytime just remember that although we have been around since the forties, we have state-of-the-art equipment.  We are Arrow Body and Fender located at 7536 W. Grand Avenue in Elmwood Park.  Just call us at (708) 456-9424.
