Are they the ones located in Monee Illinois? they're going to redo my 1994 suburban no rust 72,000 miles a tree hit the roof

On 7/24/2026 Danyel Ray had this to say:
I highly recommend this shop! The pricing was amazing, and the quality of work exceeded my expectations. I brought in my 1964 Buick Classic, and they did an outstanding job. The owner truly knows his stuff and takes pride in the work. It’s hard to find someone with this level of expertise and honesty these days. If you’re looking for quality craftsmanship at a fair price, this is definitely the place to go!

On 6/6/2026 Ed Cook had this to say:
Bruce took my insurance claim and replaced my '65 Galaxie 500 rear bumper and painted my trunk, that now matches better than the previous restoration. So, I asked him for a quote to paint my dash to match my upholstery and clean up some detail work. Got the job done on budget and finished sooner than expected. He's now my go to body shop.
