Parts are a HUGE Part of the Auto Repair Solution.

When your car is damaged in a collision your mind races.  It generally does not think “down the line” to the issue of what parts will be used to repair your beloved vehicle.  Obviously, you want to go to a body shop that does the job completely and efficiently with a minimum of out-of-pocket expenditure.  You still want the highest quality affordable parts as well.

The last thing in the world that you want is to pay for a particular part then have it installed, only to discover later that the part was defective.  We highly recommend OEM parts (Original Equipment Manufacturer) to ensure that your car or pick-up returns to its original condition.  If you are on a tight budget you must hire an auto body specialist who can price lower-cost parts as well.

For nearly 7 decades in Elmwood Park Illinois your neighborhood area body shop has been the choice of three generations.  You KNOW that you can trust Arrow Body and Fender because your father and grandfather did.  They will make your vehicle look as good as new.  Give Arrow Body and Fender a call today at (708) 456-9424 or visit them at 7536 W. Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park.

What Happens if Auto Damage Occurs at a Body Shop?

It is a rarity, but it also is a reality that could occur.  The shop is entrusted to repair your vehicle’s exterior and you trust them not to inflict any further damage either intentionally or unintentionally.  Things can happen when you leave your baby overnight at a shop you have never been to before.  You need to know that they are responsible for any additional repairs that may occur.

The auto liability coverage section in an auto body shop’s insurance policy pays for damages to a customer’s vehicle that are known to be caused by the shop.  If the repair shop is not responsible for the damage, then your own car insurance must pick up the bill unless the auto shop has expanded its insurance to cover any damage to vehicles in its custody and control.

It is comforting to know that there is a body shop that has stood the test of time trusted by generations for nearly 70 years.  You KNOW that you can trust Arrow Body and Fender located in Elmwood Park Illinois.  Leave your precious vehicle with them and they will repair it making it look as good as new.  Give Arrow Body and Fender a call today at (708) 456-9424 at 7536 W. Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park.

Things You Need to Know About Chicagoland Auto Body Shops.

Like it or not the inclement weather of winter results in more fender benders and repairable accidents at slower speeds.  Arrow Body and Fender wants you to be armed with the proper knowledge if you need the services of an auto body shop this winter.

Understand that you will likely be responsible for your deductible wherever you decide to go.  Remember that those “approved” shops are beholden to very tight insurers.  Not all replacement parts are created equal.  Talk to Arrow Body about the best parts that you can afford.  Don’t let a shop delay YOUR repair because they have taken on more work than they can handle this time of year.  Your car needs a shop that speaks your language.  Listen and learn what you need to know to make the proper decisions about the repair of your vehicle.

Arrow Body and Fender located in Elmwood Park Illinois has been serving generations of auto body customers for going on 68 years.  You don’t survive that long in this competitive environment unless you have pleased customer after customer.  If you have had a winter fender bender call or drive in to Arrow Body and Fender today at (708) 456-9424 at 7536 W. Grand Ave. in Elmwood Park.

Be Careful on the Icy Roads of Chicagoland

Negotiating the highways and side streets of Chicagoland is a real challenge this time of year.  Not only will snowfalls slow us down, but that dreaded black ice is always a day away.  Please be careful.  This is the time of year that single car accidents are very prevalent.  Through little or no fault of your own you lose control of your vehicle, even at slower speeds and crash into something.

If that were to happen, stop and take a deep breath.  Assess the condition of everyone in the car.  The most important thing is to stay calm.  When it is safe to get out of your vehicle walk around and examine the damage.  In this day and age use your cell phone and take several pictures from every angle so there is no dispute as to what needs fixing.

If you are able to drive away, please call Arrow Body and Fender as soon as possible.  They will make every effort to make an accurate estimate of the cost of repairs the FIRST time.  That is so important.  They know what you have gone through.  They have been repairing vehicles in Chicagoland for more than 65 years.  Call for an appointment right away at their Elmwood Park Shop (708) 456-9424.

Stay Safe this Holiday Driving Season.

There are so many places to go.  So many people to see.  I’ll wager you will be traveling to places you normally do not frequent.  You know, of course that when you do so in the Chicago area in December there will be potholes and cones and detours everywhere.  It seems that way every holiday driving season whether it is around the malls or on the tollways.

Please be careful.  Slow down.  Arrow Body and Fender wants to be there for you 12 months a year, but we would just as soon have you enjoy your holiday without us in 2015.  You know the drill…eliminate the alcohol if you are the driver and cut 5-10 miles an hour off of the accelerator.  Whoever is waiting for you will still be there when you arrive.

Whenever you need us we will be there in 2016 specializing ONLY in collision repair.  We don’t do oil changes.  We repair damage to the outside of your vehicle.  And we have been doing it in the same location for generations since 1948.  Have a wonderful and safe holiday season from our family at Arrow Body and Fender in Elmwood Park to yours.
