Getting here
about 15 minutes from Des Plaines.
The route
Northwest Highway (US-14) runs from downtown Des Plaines all the way to the shop. Coming from the south end, River Road to Higgins also works.
Distance
roughly 7 miles from Des Plaines — about 15 minutes in normal traffic.
Our shop is at one address only — we do not have a second location in Des Plaines. If your car is not drivable, tell the tow operator to deliver it to 5349 N Northwest Hwy, Chicago, IL 60630 and call us so we know it is on the way.
Why Des Plaines drivers come here
Worth the short drive.
Same highway, straight shot
US-14 connects downtown Des Plaines to our front door. Drop the car in the morning and you are back on the Metra line within minutes.
Certified collision work near O'Hare
I-CAR and ASE certified technicians, factory paint codes and computerised colour matching — so a repaired panel does not stand out from the rest of the car.
Diagnostics and ADAS calibration
Newer vehicles need camera and radar systems recalibrated after a bumper or windshield repair. We do that in-house rather than sending you to a dealer.
Around Des Plaines
We know the roads you drive.
Rand Road and River Road intersections generate a lot of the rear-end and side-impact work we see from Des Plaines. Flooding near the Des Plaines River also brings us rust and underbody corrosion repairs each spring.
