Good body and paint shop in the Chicago burbs
Hey guys, I'm looking for recommendations for a good, custom body shop in the wester suburbs of Chicago. I am planning to do some "restoration" work to my evo this year and so I'm looking around for shops to do the work. I don't just need some paint and bondo work, I need my trunk to get the holes filled and the pinch welds at the jack points to be straightened out as well. Obviously I don't want to spend a million dollars, but I want the work done right more importantly. Please let me know what you guys can recommend.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Haven't visited for a while and just saw your question: it was a few years ago, but by memory it was something like $420. Even under direct sunlight and close inspection, you can't tell it had been refinished. However: my car has spent most of its life indoors and only has 24k miles on it so the paint is in near-new condition without any visible sun fading (which I understand makes paint mixing much more difficult.

I ended up going to All Around Auto Body in Schaumburg based on the advice of Boostin performance. I met the owner, Brad, who is a real nice guy and a real car enthusiast. He apparently gets a lot of recommendations from Boostin, so I figured he does good work. He filled the holes in my trunk, fixed a couple scratches and dents and it came out great. My fiance, just picked up a '05 Magnum R/T that needs some work so we will bring that to him as well.
