ABOUT US
A FAMILY SHOP & INDUStRY LEADER
Body Builders Automotive is a family-owned and operated auto body repair shop that has been providing quality service to the Northwest Chicago Suburbs for over 40 years. Founded by brothers Michael and Patrick Phillippi in 1978, they started their business with a small garage, learning everything they could about the collision repair industry as they worked hard to provide customers with excellent results.
In order to keep up with their growing demand, the brothers moved Body Builders Automotive (or “BBA”) to Rolling Meadows, where they have remained deeply involved in the local community ever since. Today, BBA’s team of highly trained professionals are equipped to handle any intricate repairs that come their way. With technicians certified at I-CAR Gold level–the highest designation any body shop can obtain–BBA treats every car like it’s one of their own.
In recent years, BBA became a true second-generation business when General Manager, Joseph Phillippi (Michael’s eldest son) assumed ownership of the shop as a driven and experienced leader. Additionally, in the tradition of America’s multi-cultural fabric of family and community, long-time employee of BBA, Maria Quintero, joined Joseph as partner to guide BBA toward a bright future. Maria began her career at BBA over 20 years ago without any knowledge of the industry she continues to grow herself and her team.

Recent Review & Rating
Andre BDecember 21, 2024 After using their service a four years ago, they were my first choice to complete the body work. Once again, they did an amazing job with my truck and my wife's car. They no longer have a Geico rep on the property, but they still manage most of the insurance process with minimal intervention on the party of the policy holder. I received texts throughout the whole process updating me about the status of my vehicles. After the work was completed, and before they released the vehicle to me, they provided a very thorough explanation of all the work they had done. 100% transparency. Also, there was some additional work that I wanted addressed which I would have to pay out of pocket. Joe offered a much more economical option that satisfied my aesthetic, and my wallet. I would recommend them and use them again in the future. Corey HermansonDecember 21, 2024 Super kind people. Got the project done within 24 hours after calling. For a small job it was amazing and quick customer service. Richie V.December 12, 2024 I highly recommend Body Builders Automotive. Joe and his team were great to work with. Everyone at the shop, to include Joe and Day are knowledgeable, professional, and courteous with every interaction. They went above and beyond to resolve issues that came up with my insurance company. They have great communication and kept me updated throughout the process. Thanks again for everything. BK314December 11, 2024 Customer service was great, they communicated every step of the process also keeping me updated with not only the work they were doing, but also parts eta and insurance stuff as well. Very friendly staff, facility was very clean and also really enjoyed the tour that the owner gave before I left my car there with them. Highly recommend there services Baiaman IsrailovDecember 2, 2024 👍👍👍 Erika WingeNovember 28, 2024 Top notch service! I was referred by my dealership to have Body Builders do the repairs to my Acura RDX and I could not have been more appreciative for that. I was constantly given updates and their work was impeccable! My vehicle was involved in a rear end crash and by the time I got my car back from the body shop, it looked better than when I bought it. Highly recommend their service. It was also cool to see what vintage or hot rods they were working on… kind of reminded me of “Pimp My Ride”. Margaret KNovember 11, 2024 I had a great experience with Joe, the owner, regarding exterior paint maintenance. He took the time to walk me through the entire process, explaining each step in detail and giving me clear guidance on how to keep my paint looking fresh and durable. Joe’s explanations were easy to understand, even for someone without a lot of maintenance experience, and he was incredibly patient with my questions. His expertise and willingness to share his knowledge left me feeling confident and prepared. Highly recommend Joe if you're looking for a knowledgeable and attentive professional! Anish ChittalakattuOctober 31, 2024 Fixed my R1S after a small vendor bender. Was very happy with the service.Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 435 reviews
