Had my 08 sonata and my 14 patriot fixed here. Ronnie is the guy who took care of me. Real cool guy. Always kept on touch with me about each repair. These guys work fast and always on point from the repair to the paint job. Strongly recommend the shop..

Unfortunately for my husband and I, mostly me, we have bad car luck! No one wants to become a regular at a body shop and that is exactly what has happened to us. Luckily for me I found Athenian by way of a VW dealership recommendation.
The first car repair came by way of a hit and run, from behind, on the expressway. The second repair was by far the worst after being stuck in a hail storm last summer. My car that did not have a scratch on it was covered in dents, ranging from nickel sized to baseball sized. While that car was being fixed our other car was hit by a metal grocery cart on the passenger side door. After a few months of relief from car repairs my husband was hit on the drivers side by a texting driver.
Needless to say Athenian has done all the work to our cars and is a preferred body shop through our insurance company, thankfully. Nick has been respectful and honest throughout the process of all of our car repairs. I would highly recommend Athenian to anyone in need of auto body work. It says something about the type of business and quality of work they do when multiple VW dealerships only recommend them for repairs.
As I write this review I laugh to myself because I am going back to Athenian tonight for an estimate. Someone did not know how to parallel park and clipped the rear quarter panel of my car. It's comical, at this point, when it comes to my lack of luck with cars.
Thanks Athenian for being my go to auto body shop!

I give them 5 out of 5 because they deserve it! I went to two other body shops in the area (ie. Gerber in Oak Lawn and another large body shop on Ridgeland in Palos Heights) for an estimate to repair a rear passenger door, and the other two shops priced it much higher than Nick at Athenian. When I first met him, I got a vibe that he is a good honest person who will do the job right and for the most affordable/reasonable price, and I was right! He is a great guy who cares about his work and about the customer. He doesn't BS around and is not looking to rip anyone off. If he was, I would not have chosen him to repair the door on my 2011 Equinox. When I got the car back, the door looked perfect! He did warn me that there may be additional charges depending on how things go, but in the end, there were none. Even if there were, he would have had valid reasons. If you decide to go here to get any body work done, you'll see for yourself that he is who I say he is and you WON'T regret bringing your car here. (as an FYI, I don't have any kind of family or close personal relationship with him or anyone working there)

This place is terrible. Terrible isn't even the word I want to use. If I could I would give them no stars but it won't let me write the review. I live in the city and only brought my car here based on a recommendation from a friend. Somebody had hit my car, so their insurance company was supposed to cover all damages. I bring the car in and Nick tells me he will call me to update me as everything goes. Never get a call from him or anyone there the entire time my car is in the shop. Initially he tells me two weeks tops, so I call him after two weeks he tells me it's still not done. I call a week later, and I get the same answer. So finally, after a month of waiting and chasing them around to get updates on my car, they tell me it's done. The girl at the front claims she called me to let me multiple times. Complete BS and I have phone records to prove that. Besides the point, so now my car is done, and I'm driving around, going about life when I get a call from the rental car company telling me I owe them $800 because the insurance claim was only good to cover 11 days of car rental. Why because this lovely shop told them it would be done in that time frame and never called to let the insurance company know it was taking longer. So now I'm trying to get this straightened out with the body shop to call the insurance company so I'm not stuck paying $800. I call in and talk to the girl at the front, I believe her name is Val. Terrible service, she tells me for two days she will call me back once she contacts the insurance company. I don't hear back from her for a week so I call her and ask her why she didn't call me back. "Oh well I lost the post it note that I had your number on and was hoping you would call back." Direct quote no exaggeration at all. So now I am beyond pissed but I am calm because I just want to get it taken care of. So I talk to Nick and he tells me he's going to get it taken care of. Well we are at a week later, I wake this morning to see that $800 has been charged by the rental car company. So not only did this place take longer to do the work, not follow up with the insurance company to extend the claim, not follow up with me at any point during the repairs, I'm being stuck with an $800 bill. So basically I am paying a third of the cost of repairs cause this place has terrible follow up.

Excellent customer service! Very accommodating and friendly. I felt like I knew Nick (owner) for a long time after 5 mins. I really recommend this place to anyone who needs to get some work done to their car. Also the waiting area is very comfortable! Love this place!

This body shop is amazing. I usually don't have the best of experiences with auto services (maybe b/c of my gender?) but this place treated me well and my car looks perfect--again.
I only had 950 miles on my new car when I was in an accident. Front end was messed up. I had to find a body shop that would use the manufacturer parts and paints since this was a new VW. I contacted the VW dealership and they gave me the name of Athenian who they use for their own body shop repairs. They were a blessing in disguise.
Nick, one of the owners, told me that they service two VW dealerships in the area. Obviously, they know what they are doing. He had a tow truck pick up my car within the hour of my phone call. Then he called me just to tell me that the car had arrived and that it can be fixed like new; not to worry.
When he noticed that the adjuster was missing a few important items, he called me to tell me what they were and then called the adjuster himself and worked it out. Yes, he would call me and update me before I had a chance to call!!
When I went to pick up the car, we checked it out and couldn't believe that it even had been in an accident! Even the paint was perfect. It works perfectly too. Amazing.
I highly recommend this body shop if you ever need one; they are professional, courteous, fast (my car was only there for approx 2 weeks), and provide quality work and parts. They also sell pre-owned vehicles too!

To whom may be interested,
I would like to express my sincere thoughts as to how this body shop conducts business, weather you the reader takes this review seriously is entirely up to you. My thoughts are based on real experiences.
Nick the manager's son is a very nice person he seems like he wants to help you out. He seems very sincere and very honest. DO NOT LET LOOKS FOOL YOU. This guy is a professional liar. I took my car to him and it was a brand new vehicle. The quarter panel needed repairs. He took almost two months to take care of it. Every time I came in the car was dented or just sitting somewhere outside. There was rust due to bad storage and bad work. I needed to keep coming back for at least another three weeks after I got the car.
I would recommend this shop to anyone with a Geo Metro if you have a nice car due not be fooled. They sell luxury cars but they put little effort into repairs. The actual work that goes into repairs is half of what is on your estimates.These people do horrible work. He lied to the insurance company so he could get more money for himself. When I had issues with the repairs, him and his workers ultimately told me to get out.
GREAT COSTUMER SERVICE. NOT

Nick accepted my insurance claim and worked a miracle with my car. He worked with the insurance company to get all work authorized and it was ready in the time he indicated. The vehicle looked like new, paint matched exactly. Maybe it was in my mind, but I would swear that the vehicle ran like new as well as looked like new. I would highly recommend Athenian for your body work needs.

They fixed my car last week, and I really loved it. Honest people because when I was paying them for the service, I overpay $100 by mistake and the guy return me that money. Great price, great workers and great service on time. Just try them and you will understand what I mean.
