Scotty’s Body Shop – University

I can’t say enough good things about Curtis at Scotty’s Body Shop on Linden St. He did more than just fix my truck. Curtis saved me when I was out of luck, out of truck, and out of options after GEICO valued my ride at half what it was worth. That’s what you’ll get at Scotty’s. A lot of body shops can get your vehicle looking right. But what sets this family-​owned local body shop apart is that they have YOUR best interests in mind. NOT the insurance company’s. And NOT just what they can put in their pockets.
Last year, I spun out and hit a median on the interstate driving home from Chicago to Denver. I was broke and stranded. I didn’t know a soul for 300 miles or the first thing about cars or insurance. I walked into Scotty’s thinking my 20+ year old Chevy truck in perfect shape with less than 100k miles was a goner. GEICO valued it at only $ 1,800 because their valuation is based off of similar makes and models listed for sale in the area — all of which happened to be rusted-​out 250k mile junkers on Craigslist. Curtis told GEICO their valuation was BS and wrote me out a plan to get every cent I was owed. Then he stretched EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR of that money calling through 4 states for the best prices on parts to get my truck back on the road.
I love this truck and I’m only driving it today because of Curtis and his crew at Scotty’s. Their work was top-​notch. I don’t know what I would have done without them.
