Quinn Auto Body

It’s a sad but true tale. I driving through rush hour traffic right in downtown Chicago. I was up close and personal with the skyline… and unfortunately had a fender bender in stop and go traffic. The shop that maintains my car, Ray’s OK Service, recommended I go to Quinn Auto Body. «You’ll love them!» they said. They were right!
Quinn’s is a family-​owned, multi-​generational business owned by father-​son duo Pat and Tim Quinn. The unassuming shop a block or so behind the VA hospital complex on National Avenue is home to some exceptional detail and great service.
I dealt with Tim at the beginning stages of getting my car fixed. He carefully wrote up an estimate for me and I was off to the claims adjuster. I was glad I visited Quinn first. I felt their estimate was thorough and fair, and I felt the claims adjuster was not fairly representing my interest in getting my 8 year-​old car repaired. The documentation was good leverage in dealing with the insurance company and making sure my interests were represented.
It took a week for my car to get fixed, a little bit past the three days we anticipated. Part of the problem occurred when a parts supplier shipped a hood that had to be rejected because it did not meet Quinn’s quality standards. Quinn made good on a delay that I don’t think was their fault. They provided me with a loaner car free of charge so I could get to where I needed to go. I felt well taken care of.
When I returned after my car was finished, I was delighted. There was my car, looking shiny, polished and spiffed up like it had taken a trip to the spa. It was clean, spiffed up in the interior, all back together and fixed. I was happy to get the payment settled and drive home in my beloved car.
The father, Pat worked with me at the end of the transaction. He was a delightful businessman. He told me with pride how the beautiful 1964 Corvair convertible in his showroom was built the year he graduated from high school, and told stories about the vintage bright orange Allis-​Chalmers tractor, stored in the shop, that meant a lot to him as a West Allis native. As I contrasted this experience in my mind with the plain vanilla façade and interior of the insurance-​recommended shop I was really happy with my decision.
I would refer Quinn Auto Body to anyone who wants quality workmanship and attention to detail. I am pleased and delighted with the work they did on my car.

I hate cars. I hate when they break down. I hate when someone hits you and… UGH.
Then I met Pat Quinn and his sons that run Quinn Auto Body. The treat every customer like gold. They are honest and don’t make you feel like a dweeb… and they don’t over charge. The first time I went there it had to do with an insurance claim that I had to file. and I was told to go to them… they took care of everything and they were AWESOME. They went above and beyond. Since then– anytime I need anything I give them a call first to see if they feel they can handle it — as they are an auto body shop but they can do some engine repair — they have always been totally honest– and when they can’t, they sent me to State of the Art Auto– and they rock just as much.
