“This is my third repair with the shop and have had nothing other than quick and excellent service. From a small finder bender, welding my running board, and then major frontend damage because I tried to puss a bolder across Hooters parking lot, Tom was able to accommodate the damage in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Waukegan Gurnee Auto Body for any and all repairs.”

“This auto body shop is AWESOME!! I would recommend you bring your vehicles here!! Tom is great he explains everything clearly and he's pricing can't be beat. He repaired my Dodge Challenger twice, once for front end damage, which he also installed some off market fog lights for me (great job), and the other was rust damage. 'So auto body damage just stay calm, come on in and see Tom.'”

“Took my SUV into Waukegan Gurnee auto body shop for repair of a fender bender based on their excellent reviews. Tom, the owner explained every step of the repair and wrote up an estimate which was right on with my insurance company.
The repair was excellent and the car was finished when promised. Tom worked well with my insurance company, despite a late payment on their part. I paid extra to have the SUV buffed and waxed. Best money I spent all year! That vehicle was cleaner inside and out than the day I bought it!
Tom was very cordial and took care of any issue I had personally. He is the kind of guy you sit down and talk with for 5 minutes, and it's like you've known him all your life.
I have already recommended him to friends and family.”

“What set Waukegan & Gurnee apart from other shops, and really, other businesses in general, was the proactive approach Tom took with me and my vehicle. I never had to ask questions - he explained the process in simple terms that I understood. There were also a few times where he called me to update me on the status and condition of things, and if I decided to call him, he answered and returned messages promptly and politely. Most important, the quality of the work speaks for itself.

Tom wanted to add something that would bond it to the car, so I wouldn’t have to worry about it coming off. They did it while I waited. Fantastic job. Looks great! Very reasonable price. A++
UPDATE-August 2019: I went back to Tom to put some carbon fiber mirror caps on my car this last month. Once again he did it while I waited and they look great! Very reasonably priced for his work too! Waukegan & Gurnee Auto Body is my go to place!!”

He was so knowledgeable and genuine. He explained everything to me and told me how long it would take to fix. I called my insurance company and was instructed to take my car elsewhere. When I went to the insurance company's recommend shop the estimate was considerably higher and my car was going to take twice as long to repair. I told my insurance company I was going to Waukegan Gurnee Auto Body. Afterwards I took my car to Tom, gave him my insurance information and he took it from there. My car was ready on time.

When incorrect parts were received from the parts distributor, which would have delayed our repair, Tom took the initiative to insure the parts required were picked up by one of his workers, thus the repair work was completed as promised. Tom knows his business, if there is any auto repair required for your auto, Tom and his staff are the guys to count on getting the job done right the first time. Very pleasant to work with.”

A young man was too impatient as I was parallel parking so he drove ahead while my car was still protruding into the street. He skimmed past me and scratched the front end of my new Toyota Prius. He was so scared I felt sorry for him. So I let him go without calling the police or taking down his insurance information.
Since I was paying out of pocket, I asked Tom to help me with the cost as much as he could. He was so kind and understanding, he gave me a great estimate (actually almost half I would have paid at an auto-shop 2 minutes from my home).
The end result for me was a great repair job, money saved and a lifetime customer (including all my family) for Tom.”

“Tom and his crew do top notch work, and are fast and professional. They treat your car like it is their own. The work they do makes it so you would not know there had been damage, and they treat customers like family with the respect they deserve. Absolutely recommend this shop to anyone seeking any type of body work.”

“I have had my 2011 Toyota Avalon into this shop 4 times. Twice in 2.5 months for roof repairs. Once from a neighborhood kids friends thrown rock damage and one for my son backing the car out of the garage before the garage door was completely up. Tom is easy to work with, does great work, prices are lower than competition. I grew up around a body shop that my older brother managed from 1962-1994. Tom's care reminds me of the personal service my brother's shop always provided. I have taken my previous cars to Tom in the last 10 years as well. I highly recommend Waukegan Gurnee Auto Body, although I could use a break from repairs for a while.”

“My wife needed body work done on her car and Tom gave her a competitive quote and got the work done ahead of schedule. The repair was better than expected. I would recommend Waukegan-Gurnee Auto Body to anyone in the area needing quality body repair on budget and on time.”

“Couldn't be happier with my decision to take my car here. After after a hit-and-run left me with a fair bit of damage, I went to see Tom on a Monday, who received the necessary parts within two days. I dropped my car off on Thursday, and by the end of that day my car was ready and good as new (and for a very reasonable price!). Highly recommended!!”

“Needed a rust spot 'cleaned up' on the rear bumper of my 2003 Nisson Frontier truck.
Picked it up a day later and it looks brand new.
Great service. Will definitely use again.”

“I brought my daughter's Toyota Highlander here for work on her bumper and I must say that Tom was the nicest person. He was very informative and genuinely wanted to help us. We received an estimate right away, then my daughter's SUV was in and out of their shop within two days. I will always take my business to this company and will refer them to everyone I know. I am extremely happy with their work.”

“Some di**head hit the rear door on my Audi and cowardly left without a note. I took it to Tom and he gave me a reasonable quote. The intricate details of curvature and edges were crumbled and the paint was cracked. Tom told me it would be ready in 3 days but to call ahead a day early. The car was done in 2 days and the door now looks like brand new. The reflections in the paint are flawless. His guys are real craftsmen. He told me that he had under quoted the job and I would have been happy to split the difference with him but he refused. It is good to find an honest guy who stands by his word and delivers top quality craftsmanship. I usually do not recommend anybody, but have absolutely no reservations for this shop. I will be back there again. Thank you Tom and your skilled employees.”

“Tom & his guys did a great job on a horrible key job on my late model GMC. Paint match was great & service was even better. Nice to know I found a great hometown body shop that I can count on for future work. Thanks again Tom & crew.”

“AMAZING job! Customer service reminded me of the old days when people took pride in their work. Tom, the owner, personally took my car under his wing, stayed 4 hours after closing, to ensure that I got my car back as I had to go out of town within 2 days. People, you don't see this type of care and concern anymore. Compared prices to others and couldn't dial back Toms number fast enough. The car looks fabulous and professional. Thanks Tom.”

“My 2003 Jaguar had a damaged rear bumper and a variety of minor body work to be completed, including restoration of the front end that was very pitted. Tom finished the work on-time, with a perfect color match and excellent body work. And at a final cost that was significantly less than the two chains estimated. The car looked like new again. Great job!!”

“I had to get my tail light replaced and I'm glad I brought my car here. The replacement part was ordered and arrived in one day and it took less than 10 minutes to replace. I also had some scratches on my car I wasn't going to have fixed, but Tom fixed them without charging me for it. Tom is very professional, honest, and courteous and I wouldn't hesitate to bring my car here again.”

“I came out of work one day to find the entire side of my car completely scratched. Clearly someone hit me and could care less about leaving a note! I was talking with a co-worker who told me about Waukegan Gurnee Auto Body. He said him and his family have gone there for years and have always been blown away by the work. I called there and Tom the owner answered. He was extremely polite and helpful!! He gave me a really honest estimate and had my car done in no time! Not to mention it was beautiful! I will continue to go to them for work and refer my friends!!”

“Had my car backed into and needed to get a new door. Took it to Waukegan-Gurnee Auto Body and they told me they could get started with it on Monday and to bring it in then. Said it might take until Friday at the latest, when I dropped it off said to give them a call on Thursday as it should be done by then, called me Wednesday afternoon and said it was done! Came back as looking good as new, cleaned it inside and out. My sister had work done on her car a couple years prior and also had a very good experience with them, which is why I went there. Great people and service, highly recommend.”

“Job well done and on time, excellent pricing I had to put a review. I back in to my house smh and hit my rear view mirror, went to the deal and I wouldn't even mention how much they wanted to get a new one and fix it. One of my student dad recommended this place, on Friday Tony the own saw my car and by Monday, mirror was on and did I mention I save so much money. I know where my car will be if anything ever happen. Thanks. Lisa.”

“Gurnee Dodge recommended Waukegan-Gurnee Auto Body to me for rust problems. I knew right away Tom Vepley was an honest man and gave me an honest quote. The work was class A. And I left a happy customer. I live in Round Lake Beach and the quote I got here was open ended and it was high to start with. Waukegan-Gurnee Auto Body gave me a quote. No open end.. I shutter to think what my open ended price would have ended up being in Round Lake Beach.. I knew I had an honest company here and it was well worth the drive. I would go back any day.”

“My car was hit in the rear, and crunched the frame of my car, like an accordion. The bumper was cracked bad, and the back doors wouldn't open anymore because they were pushed together to the frame of the car. I was referred by my mom's friend to take my car here, and I am happy I took his advice. They fixed it all. There is no way possible you can tell I was in a car accident. They finished the car a week earlier than quoted. Tom is the owner I take it and he took the time to explain the steps it will take to get my car back and running. He was very informational, and overall a great help for me. This was my first accident ever and I am so thankful for his advice.”

“Just picked up my 2011 Jetta Black sportswagon from Tom today, His shop may be small but his results were huge. It's a black car and I ran over a semi tire on 94 messing up the bottom of my car pretty good. He made sure to show me everything and walked me through the process. I am very picky about my car and he was truly great at listening and explaining everything. He has great people skills and understands how important it is to do good work. I would highly recommend his services, from ding removal (which he also did for me) to paint work. My car is black and had a fender with a scratch that needed sanding and re-spray. The car came back looking perfect. He even washed and vacuumed the inside. Went over and above. I will be back (hopefully not soon!).”
