Daniels Auto Body

Daniels work has gotten ridiculously overpriced in recent years and he hasn’t been standing behind his work. My last time there I brought in our car that he had repaired for rusting on the rear driver quarter panel two years prior. When we brought it back to be corrected he not only did not stand behind his work he charged me $ 900 for the non-​insurance job. I will never go back. ps We had been very good customers with teen drivers and an aged (now no longer driving) mother in law.

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!

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.

This place does a phenomenal job. I’m a dentist in the area and I can’t recommend these guys enough. The location is right by the train station so you can drop your car off and come back after work and grab it.
I’ve taken all my cars here over the years and never been disappointed. Fair, honest and a good product. Highly Recommended.

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!

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.

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.

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!)

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 fiancé 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.
