    Ouch!

    Highly recommended! Tom and Kevin made our experience effortless. The quality of workmanship and their attention to detail made our vehicle better than the original! Look no further than the Collision Barn for all your vehicle needs.

    As long as I live in Chicago, I will be taking all of my vehicles to The Collision Barn on 5401 N Kedzie Ave for any services and repairs I need. Tom Sullivan and the team at the shop did me the world's biggest favor by repairing my Mazda CX-3. After I had scheduled an appointment, they took it right in, and--I swear--I could not have been waiting longer than 25 minutes before the mechanic had already finished working and brought it out. In addition to that, they gave me the best deal I could have ever gotten. I promise you few other shops in the city, if any at all, would have done me such a kindness. The Collision Barn has earned my business for life. They fixed my car when I really needed it, and they did it quickly, very well, and for an outstanding price.

    New bumper and rear quarter panel rust removed

    Brought in my g37 for a new bumper and minor rust removal on the rear driver side quarter panel. Car came out perfect. One of the cleanest car shops I've been to. Also very friendly staff. Definitely recommend this place.

    Color matches well (reflections may alter view, like the wheel reflection under tail light) and everything is straight. Happy!

    In the past 22 years, I have taken 12 different cars to 7 different auto body shops in Chicagoland. Three cars were BMWs, 2 Mercedes, 2 Hondas, a Ford, an Audi, etc. This is Chicago, so accidents happen all too often, unfortunately. This time I had to bring my Volvo XC90 to get repaired from someone rear ending it on a slippery winter night. The rear bumper, lower tailgate, rear quarter panel, and inner bumper support were all damaged. I found Collision Barn from Volvo's website for Volvo authorized collision shops. I had a great experience with them as they are friendly and truly appreciate your business. They communicated well, they talk (and sometimes have to wait) with the insurance adjusters, and they do a quality work. I am a stickler, so I look for paint blends and paint match on the body panels. I cannot tell where there was damage or repair, besides the paint and plastic looking new. So far the paint is lasting the winter salt and brutal cold. What I like this place: not too big where they don't know who you are, yet big enough that they are well equipped and have experienced people working. It's that sweet spot place I wanted to find in Chicago.

    Honesty, integrity and great service!…read more We thought we had a pretty bad gouge out of our plastic bumper. It looked to us like something had dug out a deep scratch. We hoped maybe they could fill it in and paint it over to at least make it look ok. Great service: they gave me an appointment time, and Derek was standing with me looking at the car within 5 minutes of my arrival. Honesty & integrity: he said "let me get the paint off to see how bad it is". He came back with a solution, rubbed the spot, and it wasn't a gouge at all. It was gone. I offered to pay him for the clean up (feeling a little silly to be honest) but he said no problem! If something really happens to the car I'll be back there for sure, and I recommend it for anything you need.

    1 Star - Very Disappointing Experience!…read more I am extremely disappointed with B&L Automotive. I honestly do not understand how this business has received so many positive reviews based on my personal experience. The high ratings make me question how accurately they reflect the customer service and quality of repairs. My vehicle still has the same noise issue that I originally reported, along with several other problems that were never properly addressed. I have tried contacting Liz multiple times, but she has not responded. What is especially frustrating is that communication seemed to stop after the insurance payment was received. I trusted this business to repair my vehicle professionally, but instead, I have been left with unresolved problems and no meaningful follow-up. I cannot speak for other customers or the authenticity of their reviews, but my experience has been completely different from what the high ratings suggest. I strongly encourage potential customers to be cautious, carefully inspect their vehicles after repairs, and make sure all issues are resolved before considering the job complete. I wish I could give zero stars. I would not recommend B&L Automotive based on my experience.

    It really couldn't get easier or better. I'm impressed! I know a bit more about the car business…read morehaving been around dealerships and my late husband owning a shop. For me years ago repairs were easy, I just gave him the keys. If we didn't it, he'd send it off to someone and it would get done. We weren't a body shop, nor a detail place, but we knew people. But that was some time ago. Those people are now retired or have passed on. So I'm left to my own resources, asking around and internet research (reviews.) I bought my SUV and there was a slight gap at the bumper after about a month, I did take it back and they just pushed it back. Never looked right. but it was okay. Well now this time I did it backing into a garage there was this wrought iron basket, not mine. My bumper caught it and it pulled away. It looked bad and couldn't be ignored. What's damaged, I don't know, do I need a new bumper because something got damaged behind it, again, no clue. I came across Carrectly, was impressed by the reviews, also was impressed by the pics of Dixon P's bumper repair. So I sent an email requesting a quote for the repair. Oliver replied fast with an accurate quote and information. He also answer all questions I had. I decided to give them a try. So glad I did! How much time is wasted on dropping off your vehicle? With them none, same for pick up. Yuri was so pleasant and helpful, I inquired about getting a detail, specifically the inside. It really needed it. He gave me some info, but said I should speak to Oliver. At first I was going to go mini, but then went full. When I inquired he told me what they do for each, there was no upsell, no pressure. I will say it looks beautiful. I also had them do some touch up where the paint came off. The gave the exterior a very good wash. I'm very pleased with the whole process, and recommend them highly. I'm proud to be seen with my vehicle again, instead of walking away quickly. You know how it is when you ride looks trashed. So glad I made this choice.

    I brought my brand-new 2026 Subaru Crosstrek to A-Carr's Auto Body after an attempted break-in,…read morebased on a recommendation from Berman Subaru. The damage included a broken driver's side passenger door window, a damaged driver's door handle from someone trying to force the lock, scratches to the paint, damaged window gaskets, the work included having to remove and replace several body moldings and cladding pieces in order to paint the sections properly. The repair estimate was approximately $3,000. After my vehicle was in the shop for just over three weeks, I picked it up and immediately noticed several problems with the repairs. There was a paint blemish near the driver's door handle, an area on the rear quarter panel where the paint had been worn through to the primer, body cladding on the driver's door that was not properly secured, body cladding and molding on the driver's side rear passenger door that was not properly attached, and a window trim piece that had become discolored, apparently from chemicals used during the repair process. I contacted A-Carr's, and they asked me to bring the vehicle back. We reviewed each issue together, and they kept the car for another week to make the necessary corrections. When I returned to pick up my vehicle, I inspected the repairs before leaving. While some of the issues had been corrected, the body cladding and molding on the driver's side rear passenger door had still not been properly repaired. There were obvious gaps between the molding and the door, and the adhesive tape securing the parts was clearly visible. When I brought this to the attention of the representative, his attitude quickly changed. He appeared frustrated, called another employee over, and after looking at the vehicle, told me that I "had to be reasonable" and that this was simply the way the car was going to be. I was informed they would not make any additional repairs. When I disagreed, I was told to take the vehicle back to Berman Subaru--the dealership that had recommended A-Carr's--and have them look at it instead. What disappointed me most wasn't just that my brand-new vehicle was returned with incomplete repairs after more than four weeks in the shop. It was the unwillingness to stand behind the quality of the work and the dismissive way my concerns were handled. I expected a higher level of craftsmanship and professionalism, especially from a shop recommended by a Subaru dealership. Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot and would not recommend anyone to take your car to A-Carr's Auto Body.
