Good body shops in the Chicagoland area

Hey Andrew,

The only place to go is Custom Cars in LaGrange. Dino, Pete, or Jimmy. 708-354-7888

 

When I cracked the Euro spoiler on my 308 I took it here and they did a perfect job:

European Auto Ltd52547 N Lincoln Ave
(at Lill Ave)
Chicago, IL 60614
(773) 348-5440

Also they had a 355 that had been heavily crashed and I saw it completely redone. They do great work and fantastic body painting.

We discuss our events on here, on that website and in the monthly magazine Pilota.

 

+1,000. Period.

 

Don't forget Skip McCabe at 'McCabe Automotive Restoration' in Mundelein. It's also a high quality shop.

 

I second this. They have done superb work on my 365 BB.

 

The work Vic and Steve do is nothing short of perfection - and they're a gas to hang out with. Go look at the cars they have in there right now and ask them about them.

 

Vic and Steve fixed the 5 inch crack in my Euro front wing and resprayed it. Very well done. But what impressed me more was the yellow 355 that parked sideways into a concrete wall. It was almost an insurance write off and they took the car apart panel by panel and replaced and fixed everything as good as new.

 

I remember the Daytona Spyder that, I think the day the owner bought it, he let his girlfriend drive it; she plowed it into a tree.To repair it, a lot of hand fabricated parts were made and it turned out beautiful. The owner had them do a complete restoration.

There's no doubt about it, they do good work!

 

They hand fabricated parts to fix a tree? Wow.

 

Yeah, they're that good!

I believe the tree is still standing at 6th & Elm in Hinsdale. Check it out; you'd never know the tree had been abused!

 

I'll second that.
Skip does some seriously high dollar cars.
he has done some work for me, and I've been happy.

ANDREW,

I HAVE DEALT WITH CHUCK HARLEY FROM BARRINGTON COACHAUS FOR MANY YEARS. HE IS CURRENTLY RESTORING MY LAMBO MURCI AND GALLARDO. HIS NUMBER IS 847-382-5285. VERY HONEST GUY AND EXTREMELY REASONABLE. HE HAS ALSO WORKED ON MY LAMBO COUNTACH.

 

Tom at the Last Detail does fine work.
Skip McCabe does very high quality work.
Pete at Custom Cars in one of the best in the world (much, much better than any Ferrari had applied at the factory).

I've had work done at both Custom Cars and The Last Detail; can highly recommend each. Another great shop is the Ultimate Paint Shop in Lake Bluff.
