You Are Set For Life.

That sounds comforting doesn’t it?  Not many people can say that, but when an auto body shop in Chicagoland repairs your car it should be set for life (at least the body work).  When a car owner has a vehicle repaired after a car wreck, typically they look over the area that was damaged to see how well the repairs were made.  Then the car is taken for a ride to make sure everything is operating as it was prior to the accident.

A lifetime warranty means a company will guarantee the work performed on your vehicle for as long as you own that car.  If for any reason, the repairs do not hold up or there is an issue, you can go back to that body shop and have the repairs fixed at no cost to you.  A great auto body shop with a wonderful reputation stands behind that lifetime warranty.

Reputation is not handed out thoughtlessly…it is earned.  Arrow Body and Fender of Elmwood Park has earned that reputation!  It started with Joe Sr. over seven decades ago and continues today.  You can always trust your damaged vehicle to Arrow Body and Fender.  Just call (708) 456-9424 or have it towed to 7536 West Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park.  

Tow, Tow, Tow your Car.

It is not something we will be singing to our kids, but it is often a necessity when making sure that your vehicle gets to the body shop without further damage after an accident.  Towing shops are like auto mechanics…they all do approximately the same thing, but with different degrees of tender loving care.

A tow is an additional expense on top of the repairs that will occur by the body shop that it is towed to.  At Arrow Body and Fender, we offer 24 hour towing to our facility with an ICC authorized, licensed and insured company.  That should give you some peace of mind in the first stage of the process. 

In many cases, we will even cover the cost of the tow!  You see, for around seven decades a member of the Bellocchio family has owned our shop here in Chicagoland.  These days, Arrow Body and Fender is located at 7536 West Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park.  We hope that you will think of us first.  Just call (708) 456-9424.

It Begins with the Appraisal.

Hiring the correct appraisal professional is extremely important.  The very fate of your insurance claim depends on their qualifications as an appraiser.  What is their reputation?  What exactly are their credentials?  We want to help you with this difficult and important decision.

Some things to consider are -

1.  Beware of hiring a body shop employee

2.  Don’t listen to any legal advice they may give

3.  Beware if they insist on payment in cash

4.  Simply do not hire an appraiser who does not have a business license

Professionalism and experience in every step of the process is essential.  For the actual repair work, may we suggest the seven decades of experience that Arrow Body and Fender brings to the party?  When you want your ride to return to the road in like-new condition call Arrow Body and Fender of Elmwood Park at (708) 456-9424.

Are you Interested in Auto Body Repair as a Profession?

It is not just a noble profession, but an essential one as well.  Putting a vehicle back on the road in like-new condition is very rewarding!  Many people think that they may be able to do it at the highest level, but few are chosen.  How much do you know about the inner-workings of auto body repair?

Here is some of the equipment that you would be using –

1.  An air compressor…one that handles a big workload.

2.  A spray gun…for painting, of course.

3.  Dual-action sander…one of the most essential tools for the job.

4.  A good auto body hammer as well as a dolly set.

There are more tools of the trade, of course.  The question is, do you have what it takes to be one of the best auto body repair artists in Chicagoland?  Maybe your future will be at Arrow Body and Fender located at 7526 W. Grand Avenue in Elmwood Park.  They have been repairing cars in Chicagoland for more than 70 years.  Call them at (708) 456-9424.

Everyone is Fine…Except your Bank Account.

When a driver and the passengers have been involved in a car accident that was caused by any reason it is likely the victim(s) will have experienced a great deal of trauma and stress.  Hopefully this will not be the case for you and yours.  Then, there is the subject of handling auto insurance companies in the aftermath of an accident.

If you have recently undergone an auto accident that was caused by the negligence of another driver, you should know how to deal with your insurance company once you know that everyone is safe and secure.  This process should NOT be the most traumatic experience of the whole affair!  Find an auto body repair shop that has dealt with insurance companies for decades.

Our owner, Joe Bellocchio, actually worked as a physical damage appraiser for different insurance companies BEFORE he devoted his life to repairing vehicles.  That should bring you greater comfort!  At Arrow Body and Fender we have been fixing cars inside and out around Chicagoland for over 70 years.  Make an appointment at 7536 W. Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park by calling (708) 456-9424.

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.

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.
