Default Recommend paint shop - south chicago suburbs

Hey guys, I'm looking for a place to do some basic paint work on my t/a. I have a large scrape across the front fender on the passenger side that needs to be painted and blended and a few other little nicks and scratches I'd like to take care of while the car is in. No body repair will be necessary for anything, just paint.

Can someone recommend a shop that does good work and has reasonable pricing? Don't need show quality, just matched to stock for now until I get the car repainted one day.

I'm out of Frankfort so anything around Tinley, Orland, New Lenox, etc. would be great.

Thanks!

Great work, reasonable prices.
I've had all my body work done there when I've needed it and I've never been disappointed!

Wanted to let you know I gave Tim a call today and I'll be bringing the car in for him to take a look at it. The quote he gave me off the top of his head was exactly the range I figured I'd be paying for it so that was good news .

Thanks for the recommendation, do you want me to let him know you sent me over there? He might appreciate the extra business .

nice, my t/a is pretty hard to miss. it's black with chrome accents and clear corners and I think i'm the only one running led switchback bulbs in my turns and halo fogs (my stockers were shitty looking and melted to the bulbs!) in our area.

cutout is generally open too so I'm sure you'll hear me coming

Haha, just wait until I get some headers and a cam in this puppy. The 4.10s get me up in the rpms very quick which makes things even louder .
