I didn't expect to be back at this shop within a few weeks of my last visit. Likely a 'texting & driving' habit of the same child who scraped the front fender resulted in a rear-end collision with extensive damage to the front of our car. Daniels provided the same great service and attention to detail, even managing some unexpected repairs with our insurance company. Once again, high praise for Mr. Daniels and his team, but I hope I won't be visiting them again any time soon. read more

superb service, reasonable pricing. have never been disappointed. straight forward and honest. Would never go anywhere else. read more

I've taken my cars here for years. Daniel is kind, honest and thorough. it is so hard to know who is honest today but he is. I am grateful to have found him. read more

Older car, needed age appropriate minor repair. Marvin took one look at at it and his whole body language and facial expression said he didn't want us there. That would have been OK if he had said outright that they didn't do small jobs. Instead we got extreme unpleasantness and passive aggression read more

This is a A+ body shop The manager/owner Marvin is super friendly and straight forward honest and very reasonable with pricing . I did my 2012 Nissan Altima years ago and had a perfect experience with Marvin and they repaired my rear bumper like new and the price was way better then most other places I got a quote at. Today 9/15/17 I went back after being T boned yesterday and was having issues opening my door due to the accident and with out hesitation he offered to hit out a small dent causing the door to be stuck and 1 min later the door opened and closed. This is the kind of person he is and that's why I am going to choose once again to have my work done again on my new 2017 Nissan Altima at Daniels auto body read more

Daniel was fabulous - really friendly and the location is a bit hidden behind some other buildings and you have to drive through the alley to get to his auto shop. We went to two other places for a price quote and Daniel offered us the lowest price hands down (he was the first place that we went to) and my fiance wanted to use him since he's used him before and he did a fantastic job. Everything was completed, as promised, and even better - he did a little extra work that he didn't charge us for - he popped a little ding out of the front side bumper (got to love those Chicago drivers that can't park and always 'kiss' the bumper). I'd recommend him again in a heartbeat. read more

Have taken repairs to Daniel's for 35 years. Always reliable and with good quality work.

I went into Daniel's Auto Body to get an estimate based on Dee's recommendation. The staff there was very courteous and gave me an estimate that was reasonable (though about $100 higher than my lowest estimate). After visiting several body shops, I think it's worth noting that these folks seemed the most professional and least smarmy/condescending. If I had the extra $100 in the bank - or insurance to cover, I would gladly bring my car here for repair. (Unfortunately, I don't!) read more

Very honest and candid. Fair pricing for the high quality work that he does. Has a strong following of loyal customers and

Marvin is always professional and informative. He does excellent work in a timely manner and is reasonable. We have utilized his services many times over the years. read more

Outstanding... My first Visit---I had a minor repair. Marvin was great to work with. Personable, professional, straight forward and very reasonable. Work was done well, and promptly. Well worth your time to check our Daniel's and work with Marvin! read more

Just called to setup an appointment to have my insurance claim for damage reviewed for an estimate. I was told rudely that I'm wasting the guys time. Wouldn't recommend this place due to poor customer interaction over the phone. read more

I had a bad experience at Daniel's. Auto Service. He repaired the dent on my bumper and painted the entire bumper for which I paid him $864.50,. A few monthly later the paint began chipping off. Marvin Daniel's told me this was the result of the bumper being hit which wasn't true. I trusted him and agreed to pay $200 for a new paint job. One month later the paint was chipping off again. He would not stand behind his work and tried to blame me for backing into something even though there is no damage other than chipping paint. I came in to discuss and he told me to get out. Since he does not accept credit cards I paid by check and therefore have no recourse for a refund. Beware! read more

Mr. Daniels and Daniel's Auto Body are wonderful. I'm not a bad driver, but I have taken my VW to him twice in the last six months. The first time he told me he would try and take a dent out of my door without having to paint...and was able to. I would never have had any idea if he really could have or not and his honesty saved me $400 plus. The second time I took my car in, I specifcally asked them NOT TO REPAIR a certain section because I didn't really want to spend the money. When I picked my car up, the had fixed it at NO CHARGE. Daniel's offers an honest, no run-around, quality service for a very reasonable and fair price-- the best. read more

Can't say enough good things about Daniels Auto Body. Daniels has worked on all three of our cars, including a brand new BMW that looked like a golf ball when it got pummeled by hail a week after we drove it out of the show room. During the reign of two teenaged drivers in our house, it seemed we needed body work every month. (You look at a PT Cruiser too long and it dents.) Daniels' estimates were always near the lowest and insurance companies seem to love him. Our cars always come back detailed, spotless and quickly. Usually, Daniels repairs some dents or scratches unrelated to the damage we hired him to fix for no charge. Mr. Daniels (who doesn't seem to have a first name and bears an uncanny resemblance to Morgan Freeman) runs a great shop -- honest, thorough and professional. Don't hesitate to use them. read more

Good work at a fair price. Marv Daniels always is informative and ready to accommodate the customer. Mechanics Sergey and Moises are ready to answer your questions. Friendly guys. And, good work. read more

I have taken my cars to Daniel's many times over the years and have always been pleased with their work and service. Marvin is great to work with and knows his business well. read more

Hands down the best auto shop I have ever been to and would highly recommend Daniels to family and friends. Daniel's had fantastic customer service and was very reasonably priced. Before I went to Daniels I got a estimate for a minor repair on my bumper. This auto shop insisted I needed to replace my bumper and that I should go through my insurance. The total cost for this came to $1,400. After getting the feeling that I was being lied to by this place, I took my car to Daniels for a second estimate. Daniels said there was no need to replace my bumper and they could fix it for $140! My dad went through the same experience a few months before and instead went to Daniel's where the price was much more reasonable. Highly recommended! Thank you, Daniel's! read more

Daniel's is excellent. Honest, efficient, reasonably priced, professional. They found a used part (instead of a new one) at 40% of the original estimate; did the work quickly and trusted me enough when I picked up my car with only a credit card and no checkbook to take my car home and return the next day with a check! Wow. Also, they not only washed the exterior of my car, they cleaned and vacuumed the interior as well, including washing the winter salt encrusted floor mats. This is truly extraordinary customer service. I hope I don't need any more auto body work, but if I do, Daniel's is where I am going to go. Good job! read more

Working with Daniel's on a hit and run door damage repair was a breath of fresh air. The quote I received as very reasonable, and at the same time I asked to consider some cosmetic bumper damage for which I had previously received some outlandish quotes by other body shops. Daniels was results oriented, and fixed the appearance perfectly at a minimal cost. When I picked up the car, many spots on the car that were not part of the deal were also touched up, the car looked like it had been washed, and the inside of car had been cleaned and vacuumed. In short, the car hasn't looked this good in years. I've found my hands-down favorite body shop. read more

I recently had a couple of vehicles repaired at Daniels Auto Body (GMC Yukon and Infiniti M) and couldn't be more satisfied with the overall experience. Not only was the job done right, the price was ultra competitive to the few other shops I received estimates from nearby and in Chicago. The owner, Marvin, is second generation running the business and is a top notch individual who stands behind his work. In the future, it's nice to know I can skip running around getting quotes from other places and go straight to Daniels; highly recommend them. read more

I took my car in to fix a minor accident. Not only was Daniel very friendly, but the workmanship was very good, at a reasonable price. I got four estimates and he was the cheapest. He even did some extra work without me even asking and did not charge me. I had paintless dent done on my door and a complete repair on my back wheel panel. I was simply amazed and would recommend to anyone. read more

A couple of weeks ago, the door to our Toyota Sienna was bent in our garage when it was accidentally left open and got wedged by the garage door as it closed. I took the van to auto house in Northbrook because I was having my 40,000 miles checkup at the Toyota place next door. I received an estimate for $3069.67 to replace the door and even the sensors with one of the heads of the body shop flashing me a wildly enthusiastic smile as he laid on each piece of bad news, making sure to tell me that it was impossible to fix the door any other way than replacing it and each sensor. Now enter Daniels Auto Body Shop in Wilmette, who in less than a day they were able to repair the van door without replacing it. I don't know how they did it, but with a total bill of $150, and a van door that works perfectly, I suspect that there was a great deal of effort involved to be honest. Yes honest. And also the fact that they probably know multitudes of ways of fixing something and the cost of each approach and are honestly doing their best to look out for their customer and not charge any more than they need to. Do you hear that word a lot in reviews of repair and body shops? Honesty? I don't think so. Does Daniels know I probably would have been happy to pay 6 times that amount and still feel I got a bargain? I suspect so. They are smart enough to know what they can charge and still get away with keeping their customer content, but that isn't the way they think. Daniels truly wants to deliver honest work at a fair price at what it actually costs them plus an honest markup. I should have written a review for Daniel's multiple times over the last decades because our past experience with Daniels has always been what it was yesterday. Honest, old-fashioned work at a fair price. Always way below their competitors. The people who work for Daniels are the same. Patient, approachable people who convey, "I respect you." This isn't the first time with Daniels that we've had something damaged where they look for a way to unbend something without having to replace more pieces of the car than they have to. I am pretty sure that God is looking down at this beautiful business and is pleased that somewhere on the North Shore, there is an honest, reliable body shop that is completely fair and square with their customers. Look no further for these things than Daniels. read more

I took my car to Daniels after getting a very high estimate at another place. I was very happy when Daniels estimate was $1,000 lower. Then when I picked up the car a week later I was thrilled to see the great work they had done on the car. It exceeded my expectations. They are great people. Couldn't recommend them higher. read more

I have been using Daniel's for more than 20 years. The owner, Mr. Daniel, runs the most honest and fair-priced body shop in the Chicago area. His work is superb, and always done on time. The shop is approved by major insurance companies, but from personal experience I can attest that it is also a great place to bring those smaller repairs that you don't want to claim on your policy. In fact my wife's car is there now. And since the shop is close to the Linden L stop, you can drop off the car without needing a loaner. read more

Just picked up my Lexus from Daniels Auto Body. I have used Daniels for the past 20 years and each time they have been better than the last. Always great; getting even better if that is possible. ALL of the reviews are spot on. They are the best! read more

After a new right, front fender and mirror, and the shop's special TLC (hard to pinpoint, much less describe, but very much part of the "excellent adventure"), my almost-15-year-old car looks brand new! This is my second experience with Daniels, and it proved that the first wasn't just a happy coincidence or piece of good luck! Without qualification, Daniels Auto Body is the best. read more

I should begin with saying I'm very anal about my car. I brought my car here for a door ding that was so faint I doubt 99.99% of all people would even be able to see it, let alone bother having it repaired. I initially brought my car to a body shop that was about 40 minutes from my house due to previously having good luck with them. After an hour the guy had turned one barely noticed ding into 4 small barely noticeable dings. Very frustrating to say the least. I read some reviews about Daniels and figured it was worth checking out. I stopped over to Daniels to determine if they would think I was insane for even bothering with having this taken out. I met with the owner who was very pleasant. I pulled my car in where one of his guys, Sergey, looked at the ding and he repaired it in about 10 minutes. It happened so quickly I was skeptical since I had just spent an hour somewhere else. I closely examined the car from every angle, in sunlight and in shade - and it was indeed flawless. I ended up bringing my wife's car to have two smaller dings repaired as well. The entire staff was spectacular - especially when you consider body shops are the shadiest businesses on earth to deal with. Sergey is the best paintless dent repair specialist I've ever worked with in 16 years of dealing with this kind of work. I'm quite knowledgeable about cars and even own a paint depth gauge (so that should tell you my level of OCD). I talked to them for over an hour about PDR techniques and paint work! I would highly recommend this place! Fair prices and excellent work! read more
