Minimizing Downtime for Your Express is Our Priority

For a fleet vehicle, time is money. A van sitting in a repair shop is a van that isn’t serving customers or completing jobs. Our entire workflow is designed to minimize your vehicle’s downtime.

We start by providing fast and accurate estimates to get the approval process started immediately. We have established relationships with all major insurance carriers and can manage the claim for you, cutting through the red tape to get repairs underway. Our expert technicians and efficient processes ensure that we don’t just work fast—we work smart, getting the job done right the first time to prevent return trips.

Comprehensive Repair Services for Your Chevy Express

We are a full-service collision repair center, equipped to handle any level of damage your Chevy Express might sustain. Our I-CAR Gold Class and ASE Certified technicians have extensive experience with the specific construction of these durable vans.

  • Major Collision and Frame Repair: From significant front-end damage to side impacts, we have the heavy-duty frame straightening equipment to restore your van’s structural integrity to factory specifications.
  • Side Panel and Roof Repair: The large side panels and high roofs on Express vans are common areas of damage. We have the expertise to repair or replace these large sections seamlessly.
  • Rear-End and Cargo Door Repair: Damage to cargo doors can halt your operations. We specialize in repairing and aligning rear and side cargo doors to ensure they function smoothly and securely, protecting your valuable tools and equipment.
  • Expert Paint Matching: We use advanced paint-matching technology to ensure a perfect finish that protects your investment and maintains your company’s professional image on the road.
  • Rust Repair: We can professionally address any rust issues to extend the service life of your hard-working van.

The Schaeffer Advantage for Your Commercial Fleet

Your work van is a critical business asset. It deserves the attention of a specialized commercial repair facility.

  • Body-on-Frame Experts: We have decades of experience with traditional truck and van frames, ensuring a level of expertise that many modern car-focused shops lack.
  • Your Advocate, Your Choice: In Illinois, you have the legal right to choose your auto body shop. Don’t let your insurer dictate your repair. Choose a partner who will fight for a complete, safe repair using proper procedures.
  • Lifetime Warranty: We back our craftsmanship with a lifetime warranty, giving you absolute confidence that your Chevy Express is ready for the long haul.

I had an incredibly positive experience at Schaeffer Auto Body. After discovering rusty water dripping onto my hood in a parking garage, I called and spoke with Kelly, who was exceptionally helpful and candid. When I stopped in for a quote, she walked me through my options and the possible scenarios. I expected to leave with an estimate, but an hour later, I drove away with my car buffed back to normal. I was impressed by the quality of the work, the speed of the service (although I was fortunate that my timing happened to align with their availability), Kelly’s knowledge, and the very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

The team at Schaeffer is outstanding. They repaired my car a day earlier than anticipated & she looks good as new. The partnership they have with enterprise made everything so much easier & convenient & the rental was affordable. Highly satisfied. Highly recommend!

I recently had my vehicle repaired at this body shop and couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From start to finish, Theresa was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. They took the time to explain the repair process clearly and kept me updated throughout. The quality of the work was excellent. My car looks as good as new, and everything was completed in a timely manner. It’s clear they take pride in what they do and truly care about their customers.

I brought my work van in because the rear door wasn't closing. The mechanic tighten a couple bolts on the latch, and made a few adjustments. I was on the road in minutes. Thank you so much !

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is there a warranty with the repair?2025-04-24T12:03:04-05:00

Yes, we have a lifetime warranty on our workmanship. Warranties on parts will vary depending on the parts vendor.

How much will my auto body repair cost?2025-04-24T11:44:10-05:00

Body repair costs can vary quite a bit primarily based on the vehicle make/model, and the accident severity. We work with your insurance company to get all of the related expenses covered. Use our free quote tool here or stop in for a free estimate. Learn more about how we work with your insurance company and best practices like taking photos at the scene here.

How long will the repair take?2025-04-24T11:44:49-05:00

Time to get back on the road can depend on how long it takes to get parts, get your insurance claim approved, and the severity of the accident. In a lot of cases, we can get you back on the road in just a few days, in more severe cases, it may take a several weeks.

Will my car look the same after repairs?2025-04-24T11:52:05-05:00

Yes! We will restore your car to pre-accident condition. You can take a look at vehicles before and after collision repair here.

Do I have to use the repair shop my insurance company recommends?2025-04-24T12:11:59-05:00

No – Illinois law grants vehicle owners the right to select their own repair shop for vehicle repairs. You can choose your own body shop and do not need to take your car to the place your insurance company recommends. This is also documented here by the Society of Collision Repair Specialists (SCRS).

Is it important to repair minor damage?2025-04-24T11:57:12-05:00

Yes! Things that seem like minor damage may cause greater issues if they aren’t addressed. For example, if you have a slight fender bender or and have any sheet metal damage, this can ultimately lead to rust. Rust is a much more expensive problem to fix, can spread through the piece of metal, and decrease your cars resale value. In other cases, you may also have slight suspension issues, like alignment, that can cause irregular wear on the car as you use it.
