Olaf and Tony provided excellent customer service and I am very happy with the repairs done to my vehicle. I wasn't sure where to take my vehicle when a very close friend of mine suggested this shop. This is the only place I will be taking my vehicle from now on. THANKS GUYS!! ;)

WOW! Words aren't enough to truly express my happiness with the work Birkholz did on my car. I was t-boned and my car took some heavy damage on the rear driver's side. Luckily no frame damage
I found Birkholz online looking for VW certified body shops. Once I saw the German name, VW certification, and the good reviews, I felt like I had found the body shop I was looking for. My car looks exactly as it did the day I got it from the showroom at the dealership. It's a 2021 Jetta GLI and it is by far the best car I have ever owned. This is a car that I want to keep for as long as possible, and I just kept reading horror stories about repairs from body shops everywhere I looked online. I am so glad to say that that is the opposite of my experience. My car truly looks new. I would challenge anyone to tell it was repainted on one side, it looks that good. .
Aside from the results, they have amazing customer service. I honestly called too much and was really excited to get my car and they were extremely nice the whole time, even when I felt like I was being annoying. I truly appreciate that they understood that I was just really excited to get it back. That being said, I never rushed them, and I was completely fine waiting 3 months. They used all OEM parts and had the car inspected and aligned at a VW dealership after completing the body work. 3 months is nothing compared to hopefully a lifetime of peace of mind. Honestly, I am glad it took as long as it did, because it means that they payed very good attention to detail and the work truly reflects that. They also offered to repair other small scuffs and scratches on other parts during the process, for a separate fee. I took them up on refinishing the rear bumper and wow, it looks amazing too. I can honestly not imagine EVER going to any other place for body work in Illinois. My brother has an Audi that was unfortunately hit, and he will also be calling Birkholz soon to have them take a look, luckily, his damage is very minor lol.
I am eternally grateful to Tony and the rest of the Birkholz staff. I am so happy I chose this as the body shop for my car. I hope I don't have to bring another car to them under those circumstances any time soon, but if I ever need body work/paint work again, I will without a doubt go to Birkholz.
