Advanced Auto Body

******* HAS NOT MOVED *******
Advanced Auto Body located at 2541 N Cicero Ave Chicago Il Has NOT MOVED!!! I was just there to pick up my car last night. They have been at this same location for 38 years & I have been coming to them since my 1^st accident in 2005.
Apparently there was some confusion with the previous 2 reviews. So I can assure you this business is still at the same place doing fabulous work!

Don’t go there I had bad experiences went there for a detail they did the sides of my truck and not the top I had to take it back I ask them to solder the connection to my rear defrost they glued it with crazy clue and he says don’t open the glass will never go again they do half work and make all type of excuses good luck

This guy is great. He’s taken care of my major auto body work in the past but today he was a life saver. I had a flat tire and just needed the spare put on. Two smaller shops near me weren’t open and I was panicked driving around with a complete flat. I called this place and the guy gladly changed my tire and didn’t even charge me. Super nice guy.

I was hit by someone insured through American Family Insurance.
This was the closest body shop approved by them — so when I saw the reviews I was in!
They gave me great customer service and felt confident in their ability to repair my vehicle! They delivered! Made sure they walked me back to show everything was back in order. As well as communicated with me through the process.
It was pretty easy with the rental car situation — especially when I was picking up my vehicle.
I also had some other damage that I had them repair that was unrelated to the accident. I felt that quote was reasonable and they offered to try and find cheaper parts and kept me in the loop about receiving them. It can be very difficult getting parts for newer cars — but they didn’t take too long — just as expected!
I would definitely go back! But HOPE I don’t have to!

I initially took my 2004 Saab to Advanced back in 2006. After some time, some of the wear and tear of living in the city took its toll on some of the work. I initially felt unhappy about this and brought my voice to Unilocal.
Advanced Auto Body took note of this review and reached out to let me know that their work has a lifetime warranty and invited me to come in to take a look at it. Upon seeing it, they eagerly offered to repair the work at no cost to me.
It was a great example of how a business can take social media into their hands and turn a seemingly unhappy experience of a disgruntled customer and convert them into a happily returning customer. I would be eager to bring my car back to them for any body work that my precious Saab may require! (which I hope is none!)
If you love your car, take it to Advanced. They will love your car too!

So… it turns out they forgot to install certain parts, leading to the existing installed parts popping out of place. I didn’t bother following up with them and maybe they’d’ve fixed it, but I’m tired of having to do everything twice (see my review of Midtown Toyota). Do it right once and I’ll be back. But now that I’ve just gotten in another auto accident, I’ll be going elsewhere.

I had my Dodge Magnum repaired a few months after purchasing it in 2005. Right door damage and the work they did in matching was great. The best part they have lifetime warranty on their repairs and here it is 7 years later and some small rust was appearing on the bottom of the door. I brought the car in and Cary told me to bring it in that they would repair it. The job was done quickly and he also removed and repainted and placed the molding back and it was all covered under warranty. That’s what i call an ethical body shop. No fine print no worry. I have taken several cars to be fixed there and recommend anyone to do the same. They are very customer service oriented.

Cary and Celeste are da bomb! Cary has been fixing my cars for years and always does an amazing job. The work is thorough, on-​time and done right. Works well w insurance company too.

They are the best in the area! Good work & fair pricing. We hope to never need their services — but accidents do happen. Their shop is the only place we’ll go. Thanks for continuing in our neighborhood.

Very nice, but somewhat incompetent.
went there to have my toyota prius fixed after being rear-​ended. i explained that the CD player was not working after the collision. it took over 3 weeks to fix and they didn’t even look at the CD player! i eventually took it to the dealer who had to replace it.

Cary and Celeste are the best! I am REALLY particular and they help me manage my car to my standards. The work their shop turns out is amazing and they have a great negotiated rate with Hertz. They get that it is tough out there and they keep the cost down for you without compromising your car looking great.
Living in the city it seams that you always get a scraps and or a dents from other people. They are great at prioritizing and keeping my car looking great. I drop off my car sometimes when I will be away on business. I come home to my car in my garage gleaming like new with a note from them.
They go above and beyond for you; most recently I was having an issue with my Xenon headlamp. I was quoted over $ 1,000 for just the part at another shop and Advanced Auto Body searched and found me a refurbished unit. $ 460 installed with tax! Cary showed me what was wrong, Saab Exchange obviously had forced the bulb in the wrong way and broke the headlamp assembly causing it so shake when you drive. He also showed me how to install the bulb, it is so easy and shops charge you $ 90 to do it. They even gave me the Xenon bulb…
If you like great customer service at a fair price give them a call.

We ONLY go to Advanced Auto Body! They are extremely trustworthy which is hard to say with auto repair. I know I am getting the best quality service at a reasonable price with quick turnaround. We have referred countless friends to them. We had our Honda Element and Toyota Echo repaired numerous times over the past 10 years. Most recently, they replaced the brakes on the Honda. They even washed the car, inside and out which we did not expect. We’ve even asked them for suggestions on new cars. We trust them from soup to nuts for our car needs.

Let’s hope you’ll never need their services. But when you do, you’ll get personal, friendly attention from Cary, the owner. If you have insurance through State Farm, this shop is one of their Select Service Repair Facilities; your claim will be handled without any hitches and original parts will be used. The results on my Prius (following a collision that was totally the other guy’s fault — and he paid the total bill) were nearly undetectable following the excellent work by Cary’s crew; both on the sheet metal and the plastic sections. Delivery was as promised and took less time than I had imagined.

Great husband and wife run business, with a real commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. They say they do good work and they do! Sent my 2000 Saab there after a recommendation from Perillo back in 2002 and have been there 3 times since. Just got my Range Rover back yesterday for some damage from a coo-​coo cab driver in downtown (you know them) and the truck was sparkling when I got it back. They also do a great job of pushing the insurance companies to use new parts over old parts. Cary and Celeste are the best!
