International Auto & Body Repair, a Chicago-based shop, has introduced a same-day repair program for select auto body and mechanical services. The initiative improves service speed for tasks such as brake work, diagnostics, and minor engine or transmission repair, supporting faster vehicle turnaround.
-- International Auto & Body Repair, a long-standing automotive service provider in Chicago, has launched a new same-day repair option for a range of commonly requested services. The initiative is designed to reduce vehicle downtime and meet the evolving expectations of clients seeking both speed and quality in local automotive care.
The same-day program will apply to select mechanical and body repair services, including diagnostics, minor collision repairs, brake system servicing, and limited engine repair and transmission repair service procedures. The offering is now available at the company’s main facility and is supported by an expanded team of certified technicians and dedicated service bays.
“The goal is to provide fast and efficient service without compromising the technical precision that clients expect,” said Vladimir, owner of International Auto & Body Repair. “There are many cases where a same-day turnaround is not only possible, but practical—especially when it's planned for properly.”
The introduction of the program follows a period of internal assessment, during which the company analyzed workflow patterns, common repair types, and parts availability to determine where accelerated timelines could be reliably achieved. After investing in updated equipment and expanding its parts inventory, the company piloted the program with repeat clients earlier this year.
Founded in 2006, International Auto & Body Repair serves a broad base of Chicago drivers seeking comprehensive services that include auto body repair, general maintenance, and advanced mechanical diagnostics. The shop is known for its combined expertise in collision recovery and systems troubleshooting—providing a unified location for both cosmetic and performance-related work.
The new same-day repair option reflects a larger trend within the auto mechanic industry, as customers increasingly prioritize speed of service in addition to technical outcomes. In urban areas like Chicago, delays in vehicle repair can disrupt work schedules, transit logistics, and daily routines. The same-day offering aims to ease those disruptions for qualifying repairs.
The service applies to both insured and out-of-pocket repairs. Upon intake, technicians assess the vehicle's condition and determine eligibility based on the scope of work and parts availability. Clients whose vehicles qualify for the same-day program receive a repair estimate and projected completion time before any work begins.
Services currently offered under the same-day model include:
- Brake pad and rotor replacement
- Minor auto body repair (scratch removal, small dent work, bumper refinishing)
- Electrical diagnostics and sensor replacements
- Battery, alternator, and starter repair
- Select engine repair tasks (such as spark plug replacement, belt changes, sensor calibration)
- Basic transmission repair service needs, including fluid changes and diagnostics
For repairs requiring extended diagnostics, major body work, or full component replacements, standard service timelines remain in place. However, clients are informed during the intake process whether elements of the repair may be eligible for expedited handling.
To accommodate the same-day program, International Auto & Body Repair has implemented updated scheduling software and added operational shifts during peak hours. These adjustments ensure that urgent jobs can be integrated without disrupting ongoing repair projects.
In addition, the company has increased training opportunities for technicians to support multi-specialty work, enabling team members to cross over between mechanical and cosmetic repairs where appropriate. This integrated approach is central to the company’s ability to offer consolidated services under one roof.
“The more integrated the repair process is, the less time is lost in handoffs between departments or specialists,” Vladimir noted. “By focusing on coordination, we can shorten the repair window for many common problems that don’t require extended teardown or part fabrication.”
As vehicle systems become more complex and computerized, auto repair facilities have faced new demands in diagnostics and turnaround expectations. International Auto & Body Repair’s same-day service model incorporates both traditional mechanical methods and modern digital tools, including OBD-II diagnostics, manufacturer scan tools, and cloud-based service history logging.
The company continues to invest in training and certifications aligned with evolving industry standards, including those related to hybrid and electric vehicle systems, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and updated emissions technologies.
Located on the city’s Northwest Side, International Auto & Body Repair serves clients from across the metro area, including commuters, fleet operators, and neighborhood residents. The facility is equipped to handle both domestic and foreign vehicles, with technicians trained in a range of manufacturer systems and components.
The same-day auto repair program is available Monday through Saturday, with intake slots prioritized for early morning appointments. Clients are encouraged to schedule in advance when possible, though the company will continue to accept walk-ins for preliminary assessments based on availability.
As part of the rollout, the company is also reviewing options for expanding same-day availability to include select weekend services in late 2025, depending on seasonal demand and staffing logistics.
“The same-day model is a response to what customers are asking for: fast, honest, and competent repairs they can trust,” Vladimir said. “We see it not just as a convenience, but as an evolution of how local auto shops can stay responsive and relevant in today’s market.”
