Stud Welding.

No, this is not a reference to our fearless leader Joe (although he is a strikingly handsome man!).  It is part of the process that Arrow Body and Fender uses to restore your vehicle to a like-new look and feel after an accident.  It is just part of the many steps that we take to ensure that you are back on the road as quickly as possible.

So, what is stud welding?  It is a technique similar to flash welding where a fastener or specially formed nut (again, not a reference to our leader!) is welded onto another metal part, typically a base metal or substrate.  The fastener itself can take on many different forms, but typically it will fall under threaded, unthreaded or tapped.

We don’t mean to confuse you.  We just want you to know that after seven decades of serving Elmwood Park and Chicagoland with the best auto body repair service possible we continue to offer state-of-the-art training, techniques, and equipment.  You can trust us with your four-wheel baby.  Call us for an appointment at Arrow Body and Fender at (708) 456-9424.

Tools of the Trade.

Does a carpenter come to your home without a hammer?  Does the plumber arrive without a snake? (Yikes…you know what we mean).  If you have to go to the hospital do they lack an X-Ray machine? (I sure hope not).  Then, when you need an auto body repair shop in the Chicago area you expect them to have all of the latest tools don’t you?

Here are just a few of the tools of the auto body trade –

1.  An air compressor

2.  Dual action sander

3.  A slide hammer and/or a stud welder

4.  The traditional hammer and dolly set

5.  Sanding blocks

All of that is well and good, but in the hands of the wrong crew they are all meaningless.  When those tools and many others are wielded by the auto body repair professionals at Arrow Body and Fender magic happens!  Your poor, injured vehicle is restored to like-new condition.  Make an appointment at their Elmwood Park location by calling (708) 456-9424.

Warranties that Last a Lifetime.

If you are a car owner that has a vehicle repaired after a wreck, typically you may look over the area that was damaged to see how well the repairs were made.  Then, you might take your vehicle for a ride to make sure everything is operating as it was prior to the accident.  It is important to look for a lifetime warranty.

What exactly does that mean?  A lifetime warranty means that particular collision repair shop will guarantee the work performed on your vehicle for as long as you own that car.  If a body shop has to make warranty repairs, it is a cost to them in doing the repairs differently in the future or possibly using different parts to guarantee the repairs will last for years to come.

Please visit www.arrowbodyandfender.com on the web.  Read the page marked parts.  You will quickly see that we inspect each and every part before our mechanics even consider it worthy of being installed on your vehicle.  Trust a top Chicagoland auto body repair shop located in Elmwood Park.  Give Arrow Body and Fender a call at (708) 456-9424.
