Rays Body Shop

Gabriel provided excellent service. The whole process from quote to pickup was stressless, and the fees were reasonable. If you’re ever in a jam, this is the place to go!

Unfortunately I have used Rays on several occasions to fix my cars. I think they are great! It seems that they aim to please.

Ray’s earned 5 stars, Gabriel’s attention to detail and get it done right the first time did it type of attitude is awesome and very rare. In addition to the great work, their customer service is great, they work hard for you and they are reasonably priced. Oh, don’t worry about the location it’s safe!

This shop was recommended to me by my Subaru dealership. I’ve had two insurance claims handled through this shop, and the do excellent work with paint and body work. Eric and Gabriel are very kind and courteous, and they will work with you to make sure everything is done to your satisfaction. They helped arrange towing, and offered to help with car rental as well. I’m really impressed by their customer service. I had to send the car back once to have a minor adjustment done (an electrical connection that didn’t quite make contact upon reassembly), but they came and picked up the car at my house and dropped it back off. Now that’s great customer service! And I have to mention, they return the car clean, and the paint work is TOP-​NOTCH. I would definitely use them in the future!

Eric and Gabriel at Ray’s Auto Body are incredibly honest and professional and competent at what they do. The shop is hidden way back on a road that I wouldn’t otherwise venture down if not for the fact that I was lucky enough to be referred to these guys who I’ve gone back to for work on multiple vehicles. They are highly knowledgeable and very fun and friendly and the work they do will leave your car looking like it did before you needed to bring it to them. They are kind and honest.

I got 4 estimates. Ray’s was the cheapest by 300 for body repair and paint job. Also quoted quickest turnaround time and it was finished accordingly. Excellent customer service and beautiful job on the repair. Only drawback is that the shop is located down a long shady alley in Skokie. But that probably keeps costs down for consumers.

Due to a recent hit and run accident I found myself looking for a auto body service that also does paint work. I found a place, they kept my car for ten days and when I finally got it back the painting they did was garbage. The color doesn’t match and they goofed up the touch ups around the vehicle, I also requested. When I asked them why the paint doesn’t match they told me it’s because paint needs time to set in and with the sunshine and a few days, the color will slowly start to match. It sounded like stupid fucking garbage, but due to time I left. I have another appointment with them for more work, so I will be going back to see them. Being that I have a Honda, I called Castle to see if they do paint work (so I can discuss and ask questions to their techs) they referred me to Ray’s. I spoke to Eric. He talked me through the process of having the front bumper painted and detailed. He was knowledgeable and able to explain how the painting went wrong and gave me some information on what and how much the paint shop might have spent on painting my bumper. I was appreciative that Eric took the time to talk to me, instead of just asking me to come into his body shop for an estimate. Basically he said, the paint work was bullshit and I should go and have it repainted. Otherwise get a refund and go elsewhere. Paint work is serious business, you need skilled people to take care of it. Like Eric offered, its not an exact science to get the color right, still painters knowing the extent of their work have to try and get it as close as possible. If I can’t get these turds at the other body shop to re-​do the work properly I may be calling on Rays in the soon future.
