Itasca Automotive Repair, Inc.

Welcome to Itasca Automotive Repair Inc.

2/5/2019 - The move is almost complete, we hope to be up and running at least partially, by next Monday, 2/11/2019.After 21 years, as Itasca Auto Body and Repair Inc., there is a lot of stuff to move. We have to adjust to become Itasca Automotive Repair.

Everyone that has called, has been so understanding about us being unable to do our normal repair work. It so hard to tell someone we are not able to work on their car. We apprecieate the love and support of our customers and all the understanding. Please feel free to call and talk to us anytime.

1/29/19 - We are still doing the "moving" thing, so we are not open yet, but we are here to take your calls and give advice, so please feel free to call.

1/25/2019 - As we have been hinting, we are moving...right next door to the East, and the weather is NOT helping, LOL. Unfortunately we have to close down for a few days because of the move and that is difficult when we want to be available to take care of our customers. You will still be able to call us for any updates but we are not set up to work on cars. Please feel free to check in with us during the week, we will be setting up at the new office. Our phone number is staying the same, but our name(as you can see above) is being adjusted to reflect that we are no longer doing body work.Continue to check Facebook and our website for updates.

Our kinda town, Itasca is...Our kinda a town! Thank you to the Village of Itasca for approving our move! We will soon be in a convenient new location, our new location is about 50 feet to the east in the building at 210 W. Irving Park Rd. (formerly know as the doggy daycare). We will be on the west side of the building opposite Kwit Prints. You will enter the office from the street side entrance. We will now be known as Itasca Automotive Repair.

We are beginning our move, so we ask that you bear with us as much as possible, there could be delays and we may not be able to take our normal volume of work for the next week or so. But please know that it is only a temporary situation. Please feel free to call with any questions or to schedul an appointment for service.

Our family has been doing buiness in Itasca for over 21 years and with your patronage, we hope to be here for another 21 years. We know how important your car is to you and we will treat it as if it were our own. We use OE type or quality replacement parts and skilled technicians to repair your vehicle. It is our goal to be the auto repair shop you can trust and count on to have your car running great in no time.

Change in services:

It is with regret that we will no longer be able to serve your Auto Body Repair needs at this time. It is our goal to have the ability to do Body Repairs in the near future, so please bear with us. But, we will continue with our mechanical repairs! Please know that you can rely us to continue maintaining your vehicles, doing your oil changes or changing your tires! Thank you for your continued support!

Winter is STILL here...

Keep the Battery in Good Shape. Your vehicle's battery is especially hard hit when the temperature drops. Make sure not to leave and USB cords plugged in when the car is not running.
Replace Wiper Blades. DO NOT CLEAN SNOW AND ICE OFF YOUR WINDOWS WITH YOUR WIPERS! Always clean your windows from snow and ice first thing in the morning -that first frozen snow on the window will ruin your wipers, and heavy snow is not good for the wiper arms! But make sure you clear your entire windshield, it is actually a ticketable offense to not clear the snow from your car windows, not being able to see the other car because of the snow is not a good excuse if you get in an accident.
Check your tires...even if you only drive 6,000 miles a year, or have a car that you only drive on weekends, aging tires could be an issue, they can start to get dry rot. This appears as tiny cracks on the sidewalls and in between the treads. Your tires rubber becomes harder and have less grip on the road. So, even if you have only 25K miles on them but they are over 4 years old, it is time for new tires.
Even if your tires are in good shape, make sure that you keep them properly inflated. Big drops in temperature mean your tires will lose air, because tire pressure declines with the thermometer. There is actually a difference in "Winter air" and "Summer air" pressure in your tires!
