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.

Sean MoranJuly 8, 2024Super friendly and very communicative throughout the entire process. Highly recommend.Jeffrey KingJune 28, 2024Matt and the team at body builders did a great job. They are the bestLaurie PardoJune 27, 2024Body Builders is the only place our family has trusted over the years to have our vehicles repaired for body work. The company is family owned and has morals and values, which is unfortunately difficult to find in today’s world. The owner, Joe, goes out of his way to work with you regarding your insurance company and make sure that you are more than satisfied with the work done. My car was just released to me today looking like it came off the showroom floor ~ I could not have been more impressed. And for the cherry on top, all your records are provided to you on a chip card that can be inserted into your computer to access them. When you use BBA, you’ll have the confidence knowing the work will be done right and you can trust the family behind the name.Kim MalitoJune 24, 2024BBA was great. They worked with my insurance so I didn’t have any hassles. They did a fabulous job on my Lexus. The paint job is amazing and the car looks like it’s brand new. They also did a fantastic job on cleaning the interior for me which was a nice surprise.David JonesJune 12, 2024Brought my RDX in for repair and BBA made it very easy to pay the down payment and sign documents very easy.tom choiJune 12, 2024Matthew was great and very professionalScott AJune 3, 2024Matt, Eddie and the entire Body Builders Automotive Team did an awesome job tweaking in the alignment on my Tesla. Eddie and I took it for a ride after adjusting all for wheels and he wasn’t totally satisfied so he put it back up on the alignment rack, tweaked it in a little more then he had me drive it. So much better. After driving it for a couple hundred local miles it it’s quieter, less vibrations in the yoke and takes less energy to move it. Went from 289 kw/mi to 260’s kw/mi with air conditioning on. Bottom line if you need body work, your car detailed, or just an alignment take it to Body Builders Automotive.steve cedreApril 29, 2024Great Service from Everyone !Google rating score: 4.9 of 5, based on 421 reviews
