*MUST READ* First of all thank you guys! My kraftsmen story. Well, where to begin! I have so many good things to say about this guys, i dont even know where to start ! I was involved in a hit and Run accident a few months ago. I put it to the side. But finally decided to fix it ! But the big question came up... WHERE TO GO ? Im young. I dont know much about cars . And i knew anyone would want to take advantage. I was driving down clyborn and saw this place. I decided to park and check them out online to see what reviews they had.. Scrolling down and down i couldnt belive it ! Everyone seeemed to loved this place. I decided to go in ! They gave me a free estimate. ! They took their time in explainin everything ! Treat it me with so much respect . The price was soo reasonable ! After i left them i decided to check out other body shops... &i gotta say. Every single one i went to.. was over-priced Did the estimate as fast as they could so they could get me out the door. I decided to do the job at krafstmen. I told them that i worked for lyft and that i couldnt be without my car for long ! And the Dan and jon work with me to get my car back to me fast !! But not only did they work fast. The work they is was amazing ! My car came out looking better then it was !. A week later i was involed in minor accident ! But this time i knew who to call ! I called the guys at kraftsmen. And they helped thru the whole insurance process ! They were extremely help full. Another week later belive it or not i got into a 3rd accident ! This time it was a major accident. But i called the guys right away. And they were soo help full ghetting the claim started. They have my car noe as they are working it to get it to perfect condition again. i am sure the guys are going to do a fantastic job again ! If you need a place to get your car fix ! I recommend This place. They are the best ! read more

Dan and John are awesome! I've been going to these guys for about 9 years now. These guys do everything! John just recently painted my 2001 dodge stratus and it looks brand new! Whenever I have an issue with my car I always bring it to these guys to check out. In some ways they are like family doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating my car problems. It's a great feeling to know that if I have a problem with my car that I can send it to Kraftsmen and know that I'm gonna have two experts with whom I trust , take a look at my car. I can think of at least two separate times where I brought my car in and they had some minor repairs to make and then charged me nothing. As I've said, I've been going to these guys for some years now.. I really insisted on paying but they wouldn't take my money.... they didn't have to do that.. but they did...and I really appreciated it! There's been other times where I have brought my car in and John will really take the time to explain whats going on and what needs to be done and what could wait depending on your budget and needs. There have been times where John will say I'd love to have your money but to be honest with you replacing this part or doing such and such to the car may not be worth it to you in the long run. And that's really important to me to have a mechanic that can be straight with me and know what you are really looking to get out of the car! It is for these reasons and several more that I would not hesitate to recommend these fellas!! Like I said in the beginning.. their great guys who really value their customers. read more

I have had nothing but great experiences with Kraftsmen Auto Rebuilders. My father-in-law referred me to them over three years ago after a major collision. They did a fantastic job repairing the car, were friendly and professional to talk to, and were very helpful in dealing with the insurance company. Since that major accident I have been back for other small repairs. The dealership wouldn't fix a windshield problem (a year after the accident) claiming the accident was the reason for the default. Kraftsmen took care of it for a small charge. After a parking lot fender bender, the paint from our front bumper started chipping off. The guys at Kraftsmen noticed the chipped paint when I brought it in for the windshields, took responsibility for it and told me to bring it when I could so they could fix it. That was over two years ago. I finally brought it back today and they still stood by their offer. They completely replaced the bumper with a new one they ordered and painted to match. I was in and out in less than three hours. Oh yeah, and NO CHARGE for the bumper. I highly recommend this shop. They are the friendly, honest and fair mechanics/car guys you always hope to find. read more

I can't say enough about the service and work that this shop offers. My daughter was in a fender bender and had to bring her car in to be repaired. Not only did they repair the damage to the car but they also went above and beyond and fixed a part of her car on the back bumper that wasn't even part of the current accident, and did not even charge me for it. They also reduced my deductible because I was a referral -which helped out tremendously and then they went a head and detailed the car prior to her picking it up. The car looked brand new!!! Throughout the entire time that the car was in the shop John and/or Dan reached out to me every few days to let me know where the process was in completing the car and when it would be ready. They worked with my insurance company and even helped my daughter with her rental car- these guys went above and beyond!!!! I live in Indiana and I will definitely make the trip to Chicago for any of my auto needs or my kids it is definitely worth the ride their customer service is above and beyond as well as their work! read more

I got hit by a parking gate due to some bad sensors and my rear passenger side door had some deep scratches in it. Kraftsmen had 5 star reviews and gave me the lowest quote so I figured why not. I couldn't be more impressed with John, Dan and their employees. Throughout the process, they were very informative and knowledgable but listened to my concerns/thoughts. They were clear in the work they would be doing and stayed true to the quote. After picking up my vehicle, I noticed a faint cloudiness to it you could only see in certain light. I felt crazy seeing it but decided to take it back. They were immediately in agreement with me and said they could fix it within 10 min (and they did). It now looks amazing and I'm really impressed with the work they did. They never made me feel stupid or like I was wasting their time. They were respectful throughout and are very genuine in their work and want you to feel satisfied driving off the lot. I'm extremely happy I went to Kraftsmen and would recommend it to anyone! read more

I couldn't be happier with the service I received here at Kraftsmen. I had my car towed here after I got in an accident and they did an amazing job. I have never been in an accident and was unsure of what I needed to do, but they were very thorough and helpful with walking me through everything that I needed to know regarding everything from my insurance, everything that needed to be fixed, who to call, when to call, etc. They were also very patient with me; I work two jobs and am in school and had a broken phone for a bit so I can be kind of difficult to get ahold of, they worked with me and were very understanding through the whole process. My car was in rough shape when it went into the shop but it looks brand new because of Kraftsmen. Not only did they fix my car, they detailed the entire interior. If I could give them 10 stars would. I highly recommend Kraftsmen if you are looking for a place to get work done on your car. read more

I called Kraftsmen one day based on their reviews to see if I could have them take a look at a few dents in my passenger door, and they told me to come on over! They gave me a ballpark price if I were to pay out of pocket and pointed out things to be careful of(parking under the L which was leaving black spots all over the exterior ruining the paint) Months went by and I got side swiped so I brought my car in on an insurance claim. They handled everything with the insurance company and made sure I got the correct amount for the work that needed to be done. The bodywork looks as good as new and they did an amazing job detailing the interior! They are very informative and don't try to take your money for things that don't need to be changed yet. My steering became very tight and they fixed the issue rather than changing a part that wasn't broken just to make a quick $1000+! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. This place is top shelf for all-around auto service and they understand that good business grows from good work and good relationships. They are truly well-rounded experts - independently owned for 25+ years by brothers John & Dan. They have good relationships with insurance people, if you have an insurance claim, they do BEAUTIFUL WORK efficiently, AND they are ALWAYS CHEERFUL. They gave me a ride to the train station after I dropped off my car; they kept me posted on the status of my claim and my car. They helped with rental car arrangements before and after my car was done. They are MORE THAN FAIR ABOUT COST and I'll say it again: THEY DO BEAUTIFUL WORK, including body work, engine repair/maintenance and detailing; they performed body work to my car after a collision; I plan to take my car to them for routine maintenance from now on. read more

My car engine started shaking uncontrollably when idling, so I nervously looked up the closest auto repair in the area. I had just moved to the city after servicing my car the month prior and wasn't counting on it breaking down on me like that, so I wasn't at all thrilled about the whole situation. I am so fortunate to have ended up at such an honest and professional shop. Dan and John were super straightforward with the issue, no sugarcoating, and resolved the problem within 24hrs. It ended up being a coil and corresponding spark plug needing to be replaced and they did just that. They were even kind enough to surprise me with a detailed car wash and an honorable discount! Since then, my car has been driving very smoothly. I am so grateful for Dan and John's service and I thoroughly recommend it to anyone living the City of Chicago! read more

I have been going to Kraftsmen for nearly a decade, and recently they reminded me why they are my go to mechanics. Towards the end of April, my car was broken into which resulted in a broken window, torn out transmission, and a couple of other problems. My insurance pushed me to a local garage that was telling me I would not get my car back until around mid June. This was not going to work for me since my rental car would only be covered until May 24th. Too make a long story short, I called Kraftsmen, Jon and Dan told me to cancel my job with the garage and they will take care of me. They went picked up my car and had it for me in two weeks, way before the other garage said they could look at my car to make an estimate. I am grateful for the fast, professional, and effective work that Kraftsmen do. Thank you. read more

Kraftsmen Auto did work on my truck last year mid- summer 2013 & replaced the rear bumper, tailgate, & other suspension problems due to a rear end collision on the I90 split. The workmen ship was excellent & I received my truck back in a timely manner. Brothers Dan & John have been doing work on our vehicles now the past twenty years and now do all the work on our children's vehicles as well. Our daughter's vehicle 2004 Dodge Stratus was towed to Kraftsmen mid- Jan. 2014 & needed extensive body work & mechanical work. The shop replaced the complete front end of her car & replaced her water pump, new brakes, & trans pan. Their rates were great & she's been driving the car a few weeks already & says it runs like the day she bought it. Dan & John thanks for all the great work!! read more

As a first time customer with Kraftsmen Auto Body, let's just say "I'll be back". My car was involved in an accident and it was dropped off to KAB several days later. Once KAB assessed the damage to my car, the insurance appraiser was called back out to reassess additional damages that was originally overlooked. The repairs took 4+ weeks to complete, but all I can say is --- it was worth the wait! My car looks brand new straight off the showroom floor. They not only repaired my car---but they detailed it inside & out, waxed my car from the front bumper to the rear bumper AND steam cleaned under the hood---there's not a scratch in site!!! I AM A SATISFIED CUSTOMER and will refer my friends and family. ~~Taking the Max next for repairs!~~ Tyrone W. read more

I was recently in a car accident and my brother in law recommended Kraftsmen's, best recommendation ever! My poor little PT Cruiser was hit in the back and front, $7000.00 in damages, I paid $0. They even had my car detailed, SUPER NICE!!! :) Hey, nobody is perfect...but I must say these guys are great and bottom line, business is business. What I like most about these guys is that they work for their customers not the insurance. One can't go wrong there. If you ever need your car repaired after a car accident, this is definitely the place I would recommend. I suggested that they open a Facebook account and post the before and after pics, I hope they consider that...A PERFECT idea for more business!!! Thanks Dan & Mike!!! read more

My wife and I took our 2014 Honda Accord to Kraftsmen for a few dents and some reasonable damage to the lower ride side of the vehicle. We did get several quotes prior to this and my wife had heard good things about them. I myself was skeptical about the price they quoted because honestly it seemed far too good, but I was wrong! Not only did these guys give us a GREAT price, but did GREAT work as well!!! A day or two prior to the vehicle being picked up they called me and asked if I would be interested in a full detail as well... I was and I have to say, the car looks as good as did off of the showroom floor!!! Great all around and I would recommend them to anyone and will use them again should the need arise!!! read more

John and Dan run an amazing business that I cannot recommend highly enough! They are very thorough and honest. You will only have done what needs to be done to your vehicle at a reasonable price and can be confident that it was done right. I have brought in all of my family's vehicles in for various repairs and they have never disappointed with the quality of their work nor the cost. There may be some shops that can quote you cheaper prices, but remember the old saying, "you get what you pay for". If you want to save some money by cutting corners, this is not the shop for you. But if you want the job done right so you do not need to worry about it over the next few months to years, these are the guys for you! read more

This is a very honest review about Krafsmen; a small auto body shop located on the northern part of Chicago. Dan and John were great handleling the situation. John clearly explained the things that had to be done to my car and the process with the insurance. Something I found very valuable was the continuous communication on the status of the paperwork and the work being done to my car. This was my first time using an auto body shop and I have to say, it was a painless/flawless experience. God forbid but if you are involved in a car accident and would like to see your car looking good (outside and inside) again, please contact John at Kraftsmen first at 773 525 1907. I hope this review was helpful.... read more

I took my puppy to the vet a few doors down from Craftsmen Auto Rebuilders today. When I got in my car, which was parked in the lot across the street, it wouldn't start. I took a chance and walked across the street to the auto shop. The owners and their employees were super nice and did not think twice about helping me! They actually walked across the street and checked my car while I was welcome to sit in the clean air conditioned shop out of the 90 plus degree weather. The guys ordered a battery for my car and installed it for me. I was on my way home safely in no time! I appreciate them so much and highly recommend their service to anyone who enjoys high quality service! Thanks again Guys! read more

Kraftsmen Auto deserves a five plus star rating! I recently took my Lexus truck in for a minor fender bender repair on the front and rear. I couldn't have been more impressed with the time they spent explaining the repair and their knowledgeability. It was a bonus that they were more reasonable than other quotes I received. My truck was fixed in a very reasoanble amount of time and looks brand new. The shop even went above and beyond to repair a few other dents we didnt originally discuss and even cleaned the interior. Lastly, the location is great and very easy to find and park. Dan and John are really good guys that deserve your consideration when selecting an automotive shop! read more

A great experience with Dan and Jon. My car was brought in for a repairs and the were very thorough, making sure that all damage was accounted for and adequately reimbursed by the insurance company. They let me know how things were coming along, and went above and beyond with the work that they did. For example the remote lock/unlock mechanism on the car door occasionally faltered. They fixed it, and now it works flawlessly. They are exceptional in their care, integrity and skill. My car was given back to me in better shape then before the fender bender. Very grateful to have them in the neighborhood, and I recommend them wholeheartedly and without reservation! read more
