Carlson Autobody

Absolutely the best. My husband’s truck went in following a nasty little spill, had over 8 grand worth of damage after our mechanic got into a fender bender while taking it on a test drive. Gary and his team did an amazing job, fixed it up beautifully, explained every bit along the way. When the truck was ready, he pointed out that a rear light needed to be fixed, no pressure, just letting me know it should be done before condensation got into the sensor and made it more expensive.

I found out that Gary had actually driven that morning to get the correct replacement headlight from a dealership in suburban Chicago (after they had sent the wrong part), and made sure it was installed correctly on the car on a Saturday. I've owned award-winning show cars and know auto p

Super happy with the bodywork they performed. Friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!
