Icy Roads and Black Ice.

It’s that time of year for a tutorial on driving on the icy roads of Chicagoland.  Sometimes you just can’t avoid a collision when roads ice over, but you can definitely be prepared.  Your best bet is to know the weather for your entire route ahead of time.  This knowledge could help you slow down as slick spots approach, or you could avoid them altogether.

Here are some ways to avoid icy encounters-

1.  Make sure that your tires have the proper tread.

2.  Get new wiper blades so you can always see ahead.

3.  Run the air conditioner.  It may sound crazy, but it eliminates condensation on the windshield.

4.  Keep your headlights clear of snow and ice.

5.  Watch closely for black ice.  That puddle can be very dangerous.

Let’s stay safe as we drive throughout Chicagoland these next few months or so.  But if you need us we’ll be there as we have been for nearly 70 years.  We are Arrow Body and Fender Chicago’s auto repair professional for all of those decades.  If you have a vehicle mishap, give us a call so you can get back on the road.  Our Elmwood Park phone number is (708) 456-9424.

A Real Body Shop at Work.

When you walk through the front door of the average body shop what do you see?  It’s probably the front desk where they take your money.  Then there are some chairs and two year old magazines scattered about.  Oh yeah, don’t forget the tube television in the upper corner of the waiting room with that soap opera blaring that you would normally not watch even if you were in the hospital!

When you walk in the front door of Arrow Body and Fender, located at 7536 W. Grand Avenue in Elmwood Park, you see a REAL working body shop in action.  We have nothing to hide.  Our restorative geniuses are hard at work making vehicles return to the road looking better than ever.  We want you to see for yourself that we have the tools and knowledge to do the work 100% to your satisfaction.

Our people take pride in the finished product and the process that it takes to get there.  Just call our office from the scene of your accident.  We will take care of the entire process from start to finish.  We will help with the towing, rental car, filing the police report, and more!  If you have an unfortunate mishap just remember this phone number for Arrow Body and Fender (708) 456-9424.

What Parts are They Using to Fix Your Car?

That would be reassuring wouldn’t it?  When your vehicle is involved in a collision the result is not just stressful for your car, but for you as well.  You probably just leave everything to chance.  Since you don’t know the type and quality of the parts that are being used during the repair you have to trust the auto body shop to get it right.  This is your vehicle’s future…you need to know.

You don’t even want to think about paying for a part twice!  Sure, if the first one does not fit in perfect compatibility you will have to have the job done again…probably by someone else.  OEM parts should always be used when repairing your vehicle.  What is OEM?  It stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer.  No aftermarket parts for your baby.

For nearly seven decades Arrow Body and Fender has insisted on OEM parts.  If you get into an accident you will meet Joe Bellocchio Jr., the son of the founder Joe Bellocchio Sr.  If and when that time arrives count on a professional auto body repair job done by Arrow Body and Fender at (708) 456-9424 your Elmwood Park Illinois auto body shop since the late 1940’s.

Tow, Tow, Tow Your Car.

That dreaded tow truck that you need to get you to the repair shop.  You have had an accident.  Everyone on the scene is okay physically, but you have the stress of knowing that your vehicle is damaged.  It needs to go into the shop to be repaired and you have a thousand things going through your mind.  Stressing about the tow truck does not need to be one of them.

When you have Arrow Body and Fender of Chicago on your side the tow will be one of the least of your concerns.  You may actually qualify for free towing and storage!  Joe and his staff have a great, quality towing service at their beck and call that will get your car safely from the crash scene to their body shop in Elmwood Park.

Over these last nearly seven decades Arrow Body and Fender has been there to help you through stressful situations.  If you get into an accident you will meet Joe Bellocchio, Jr., the son of the founder Joe Bellocchio, Sr.  If and when that time arrives count on a stress-free tow arranged by Arrow Body and Fender at (708) 456-9424 your Elmwood Park Illinois auto body shop since the late 1940’s.

Repairing Your Car.

Two things in life, well maybe three if we count our cell phones that we never, never want damaged…our home and our vehicle.  Sometimes a flood or high winds can damage our domicile, but when the car gets wrecked it’s usually because of an accident.  It may be totally your fault, someone else’s, or a combination of the two.  It does not matter.

What matters at a time like this is to get the proper insurance estimate and, above all, make sure that someone you trust with your baby takes care of the repairs.  Where did your father go to get his car repaired?  Chances are that body shop may no longer exist…UNLESS it happens to be an institution located in the near western suburbs of Elmwood Park!

For nearly seventy years Arrow Body and Fender has stood behind its auto body work.  That is three generations of trust!  It doesn’t get any better than that.  If you get into an accident you will get to know Joe Bellocchio, Jr. the son of the founder Joe Bellocchio Sr.  We hope that time is well down the road if at all, but if you need them make an appointment at Arrow Body and Fender at (708) 456-9424, an Elmwood Park auto body shop since the late 1940’s.

Trust, trust, trust.

Studies show that people need to see or hear something three times before it registers.  Trust, trust, trust…confidence, confidence, confidence.  You need it from your doctor, your lawyer, your best friend…and yes, from your auto body repair shop as well.  If you don’t have those two things you are leaving the outcome to chance.

When you have a need (and we hope that is rare) for an auto body repair shop you have many choices.  How many of those choices include an establishment that your grandfather could have gone to back in the late 40’s?  How many of them have as their owner a qualified insurance adjuster?  And is the facility state-of-the-art even though it has been around all those years?

All of this adds up to just one choice…Arrow Body and Fender.  Since 1948 they have been Chicagoland’s premier auto body repair and refinishing shop.  Joe Bellocchio Jr. is the son of the founder Joe Bellocchio Sr.  When the need arises do not hesitate.  Call Arrow Body and Fender at (708) 456-9424 proudly located for nearly seven decades in Elmwood Park.
