Dave’s Collision Repair

Just signed up for Unilocal to leave this review.
Dave’s collision repair is a great shop. I recently had a front end accident damaging the bumper, hood, radiator, and radiator support bar, with no collision insurance to cover it,. Thinking my $ 1500 car was totaled, I took it to Dave’s to get a confirmation opinion/​estimate. They were very nice on the phone, offering to come take a look if I was in the Champaign area so I wouldn’t need to tow there.
After dropping off my car their staff were absolute pros. Quick estimate which ended up being high, they offered to work with me on the parts I wanted replaced and which parts I wanted repaired. They managed to repair my bumper and hood, and only needed to buy a new radiator and hood latch. I’ve done quite a bit of bodywork myself before, so when I told them I’d paint and finish it myself they were willing to work with me and complete the job to exactly my specifications.
They also helped me with an unrelated mechanical issue I was having, and got my car up and running better than before the accident. The price was totally fair and reasonable, and even a bit under what I would expect to pay for similar work.
I wouldn’t hesitate to take a car here for any kind of bodywork, whether it’s restoring something to new condition or just getting it drivable again on a budget. Dave’s has my business forever in this department.

I crushed my car and needed to fix my bumper, light, radiator, fan etc. Dave’s collision gave me the cheapest estimate. I am so happy with their service and I’d recommend for anyone who needs to fix with low budget.

After an unfortunate run-​in with my parking garage, I needed some body work done. I went to several shops in town and ended up deciding on Dave’s. The first thing I noticed about his shop was that Dave and his employee’s were car people. He had several classic cars in the back, and being a car guy my self, I knew that he would treat my car right. He was willing to work with me on the price and was cheaper than any of the other places I received estimates from. The work was completed on time and looked great! I would not hesitate to come back to Dave’s in the future and recommend this shop to anyone needing body work.
