About Us – Precision Body Works

About Precision

For over 35 years, Precision Body Works has been a fixture in the greater Elgin community. At Precision we focus on craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. We are a small, family-owned business and we are content being just that. We don’t want to be like the big, conglomerate chain body shops. Our small size and independent nature allows us to fix cars the way they should be without making concessions to larger entities. If you have had a car accident and need repairs or are just looking to have some minor work done, give us a call today or stop by. We work with most major insurance companies.

Our Reviews

The Shop

Our property consists of two buildings, with over 15,000 sq ft of active workspace. The first building houses the front office and the dedicated paint area. We use PPG eco-friendly, water based paints on all of our vehicles. The rear shop is considered our frame shop. With 2 hydraulic frame racks, including a car-o-liner EVO frame bench, there is truly no repair too advanced for us. The ample work space and separation of paint and body facilities allows for a cleaner and safer work environment and an overall better product for our customers. The buildings sit on over 1.5 acres of well-lit, paved land. The perimeter of the property is protected by a ELECTRIC GUARD DOG fence. We spend a lot of time and resources making sure that our customer’s vehicles are protected.

Why choose us?

When you walk into our front door, you are either greeted by the owner or the owner’s son. Whenever we repair a car, our personal reputation is on the line and that means a lot to us. As Elgin residents, we see a lot of our customers at the grocery store, or at a restaurant. We want to be proud of everything that comes out of these doors. As a certified I-CAR “Gold Class” facility and a Volkswagen Certified Collision Center, we have put in the time and effort to ensure our employees our trained and capable of repairing everything that comes our way. We truly embrace the “Shop Local” mantra here as all of our employees either live in Elgin or an adjacent town. You can have your car repaired at any shop, but not every shop has the owner personally handling your vehicle throughout the entire repair process.

My Truck Repair
They have worked on my truck after two different accidents... First time was a victim of a hit and run a few years ago. Second time was after I was hit by an uninsured driver a few months ago. The second time they fixed horrible repair work from another shop without any headaches. This is a great shop to work with and the guys there take great pride in their work. I learned my lesson and will just take my vehicles to them first from now on. This is your one and done shop.

They did a GREAT job!
After another driver hit my car and caused damage to my vehicle, the insurance company deemed my vehicle totaled. This status meant the money I would receive would not come close to covering the repairs. Due to current, extreme, financial difficulties I could not afford to buy another vehicle. I called many body shops asking for repairs only essential to restoring the vehicle to working condition. I could take care of the rest. All these shops refused to work with my needs. These shops demanded to completely restore all of damage. I am proud to say that the owners of Precision Body Works assisted me in my financial need by only repairing what was needed. They did a great job. In fact, you would not even realize any damage was done. This shop was an answer to prayer. The shop kept the cost right at what the insurance company gave me. Way to go!!!

WOW!!!
There's a reason these guys have such a high rating - they're fantastic! Not only did they do a superb, thorough job on my vehicle, they even washed and detailed it! I didn't expect that at all! And the cherry to the sundae - they left a tin of Danish butter cookies in the passenger seat with a beautiful printed note thanking me for using their business! It doesn't get any better than this folks. Choose Precision for all your body repair, I highly recommend it!!
