I have brought many vehicles here before and they have never failed to amaze me!! Chuck is great to work with and super fair with pricing. Daily updates was great and he even hand painted the side fender emblems himself! (they came out amazing)This time around, brought in a new S5 for a grill swap, chrome delete, wheel powder coat, and adding midpipes, intake, inlet, intercooler, and a few more upgrades. Everything came out AMAZING as usual.HIGHLY recommend this shop for all your needs. I drive over an hour away every time because I trust A & L with all of my vehicles!Check the before and after pics attached

Had such a great experience. Super professional and great customer service. My rear end was hit and I had a cracked bumper. They did such a great job in repairing it and communicated through out the process to keep me updated on what was going on with my car. Definitely recommend this place!

A&L auto body is by far the best auto body shop I ve ever worked with. They have exceptional quality you can tell by the cars in the lot. Great customer service and work. Worth the wait, always. I ve been coming to this shop for over 7 years. I ve moved around the Midwest to Iowa, Wisconsin, Quad cities, but I continue to come back here. Just had a job done and it was all very well done and professional. If you ever do have an issue they will make it right. Chuck does great running this place!! Thank you Chuck and staff!!Services: Painting, Body & Trim

Family owned, customer oriented, friendly, and went above and beyond lines of duty. Turned lemons into lemonade with repairs, and restored ride to new condition. Great communication for any surprises + easily accessible for regular status updates. Everything great American business has forgotten how to be.

These guys turned a terrible situation for me into the best possible outcome. My car was vandalized and nobody locally wanted to work on my carbon roof. I reached out to A&L and spoke with Chuck who was so helpful in laying out my options and the best route forward. My total could have easily reached $25k due to the rarity of the part and the manufacturers recommendation to replace the whole roof, but with A&Ls experience working on exotic cars and their familiarity with carbon repair, they saved me a TON of money, my car looks perfect, and they saved me from having to spare the structural integrity of my brand new car that a roof replacement could mean. I can't rate A&L high enough - 5 stars doesn't do them justice. Chuck and his team were so honest, transparent, and communicative, it didn't take long before I knew I could trust them with my car and my money. I will be traveling to A&L any time I need work done on any of my vehicles!

Based upon recommendations I chose A&L to repair my car afterit was hit by another driver. Their workmanship and attention to detail is The Best. Their communication and coordination with the other drivers insurance company was seamless. I highly recommend A&L!

I visited this body shop service to repair two doors on my BMW F10. They are not far from my house so I decided to contact them. They have expensive cars in the parking lot (porsche, M5, M3 and other cars). The repair took more than 3 months, I called them several times and asked when they would find the doors for my BMW. No one answers. I picked up the car the other day, they did an ugly job, poorly assembled door handles, painting is just awful. It seems that they work the first day. Don't come here, they only need to paint the fences, not the cars. Look at the photo of my car and appreciate their work. 0 stars if i could. Never come again!!!Service: Body & Trim

First time visiting this shop to get some work done for a bumper mishap, and getting rims powder coated as well. Chuck went above and beyond to explain everything and had excellent communication throughout the entire process. The end results were magnificent and at a fantastic price.They are very honest in their pricing on their work, which is rare to find in businesses these days. Their perfect review on Google speaks for itself. I will definitely be bringing all my cars here from now on!!

I want to add my two cents to show how the quality of work offered by A&L is truly second-to-none.I sent in my 2007 Subaru WRX STI to have a significant amount of front-end damage repaired. It was looking pretty rough. Needless to say, I was concerned about how things would turn out... and wow. Chuck kept me informed from start to finish on how things were going, with pictures sent to supplement the texts, and made sure to manage expectations as best as he could despite many unknown variables around the supply chain disruption during COVID.When I came to pick up the car I was truly in shock. The paint matches perfectly, the body lines and gaps are correctly aligned, and best of all - I ended up paying less than what my initial estimate stated. All OEM parts and a team of serious professionals made for phenomenal results. Chuck and the crew at A&L have earned my business for life. Thanks again for the truly exceptional experience.Services: Painting, Body & Trim

The best in the Chicagoland area. Our company (Olsen Motorsports) uses A&L for our restoration paint and body. Chuck is the best to work with. Work is always on time and under budget. Could not recommend them more!

I highly recommend A&L. Val and team provide wonderful service, are very responsive, professional, and personable. Val is a straight shooter and takes his time to discuss options and explain the work. There was a bit of a wait to get my car fixed, but it was still drivable and they went out of their way to make my hood functional in the meantime at no extra charge. They truly care about their customers!

A&L did an excellent job tinting a set of side marker lights I brought in. They were able to tint them to just the right level of darkness I was looking for, which I was very happy with. The final product came out glossy and professional looking, just like I had hoped for. Chuck was a cool guy to deal with, and the turnaround time was fast. Highly recommend A&L.

I read about Ind Distribution and A&L body shop from BMW forums. They had great reviews.And I totally agree. Val and Chuck are awesome and so is Ana. I was given a ride to a coffee shop by Ana while a custom exhaust was being installed.On my way back, I took a cab ride and even the driver had excellent things to say about them.Overall very impressed and I am going back.

I recently had an issue with my Porsche Cayenne and brought it to this family-owned car body shop. Not only did they fix the issue in just 5 minutes, but they also did so with such professionalism and expertise. The team at this shop is top-notch, and they really know their stuff when it comes to luxury cars like mine. I appreciate the attention to detail and personalized service that comes with a family-owned business. I couldn't be happier with the service I received, and I highly recommend this car body shop to anyone with similar issues. Keep up the excellent work!P.s. Owner is a great guy, i was stunned how humble he is

Look no further. A&L is an excellent auto body repair company. I have been taking my cars to A&L for many years and can't praise this business enough. Val and Chuck run the best kind of business - an honest, fair one that treats its customers well. Communication is terrific and they take the headache out of dealing with insurance companies. Their work is unbelievable - you won't even remember where the damage was. A fantastic experience each and every time!

Great customer service and excellent quality of work! I needed some work done and I had driven by the business many times and noticed some high end cars there. Looked up their reviews and since they were excellent, I decided to go in. They were working on BMWs, Mercedes, Porsches, and I walk in with 4 hubcaps! I was impressed that the owner (Val) didn't laugh me out of the business. He listened to what I wanted and said he could do it at a VERY reasonable price. I left the hubcaps thinking they would be left on a shelf for weeks until they could get them worked in. Nope! Within a week they were all done. Excellent job too. Now I don't have to worry about the PlastiDip coming off (which already happened!). Thanks Val!Service: Painting

A huge thanks to Chuck, Val, and the team at A&L Auto Body! These guys are great to deal with and take care of their clients! Thanks for taking care of the little details to make a simple grille swap look right! Love it!

This shop does incredible work and is well worth the wait. There s a reason why people are willing to wait months to get their car done here. They do a great job of communicating with their clients and finding the best option for each scenario. They should be charging a premium for their work but instead are super reasonable on pricing. Thanks Chucky and A&L Team!

Chuck and Val are the best! Our new vehicle was rear-ended the morning after we purchased it. After the accident, I called the shop and Val was kind enough to provide us with helpful information to get everything going. Once our vehicle was at their shop, Chuck was in constant communication. Chuck provided us with a realistic timeline of when they could start working on the vehicle and navigating all of the issues we encountered with the insurance company. He made sure we were provided with a proper estimate and parts. Considering how all of the shops were backed up, Chuck and his team were able to have our vehicle back to us within a month and it looks just like the day we took it home! Hopefully we won't have to use them again, but if we ever did, we would not hesitate to have our vehicle taken here! This is my second experience with A&L, the first time however the vehicle was declared a total loss. So we only experienced their CS the first time, and not their workmanship.Services: Painting, Body & Trim

Val, Chuck, and the rest of the team have always taken excellent care of me and my car. They are competitively priced and up front about timing. They did a great job repairing and repainting my bumper. I recently had them mount and balance my bbs wheels. I would highly recommend them.

Hands down the best body shop I've ever been to, and keep coming back to over and over again. Amazing quality and top notch service. There's no other place I'd ever take my cars too, they have handled my Dodge Viper, high end BMWs and everything else.

A+++++ I've had many cars in my life, and the recent experience with A&L Auto Body was the best of all time. Chuck and Val run a small business as it should be run. Great service, amazing work, top notch all around.

Amazing experience. Val and his team took really good care of my car after it got dinged up. I was worried that my older 911 would be difficult to restore to its former glory but thanks to some ingenious suggestions from Val, the car actually looks better now than when I took it in. I shopped around and this outfit had the best reputation and the most honest prices by far... So expect a little wait, but it's worth it!

I was truly impressed with not only the immaculate work done on my vehicle, but also the incredible customer service provided by Chuck. He was one of the nicest business owners I have encountered, plus he was very detailed in the process of what was going to be done to my vehicle. Not only was my vehicle fixed, but it came out looking better than I ever expected....they even cleaned the inside!! My vehicle looked like new! I will defiantly be recommending A & L Auto Body to all my friends and family. Thank you Chuck, for a job extremely well done!
