In November of 2025 my 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 was struck from the rear. Damage was done to the six-point tailgate, the bumper, trailer hitch, frame, both rear quarter panels, electrical connections, and the mount that connects the driver seat to the floor. My insurance co. gave me a choice of three places to take my vehicle in a fifty mile radius. My insurance agent advised me that Rendel's on Republic Ave in Joliet was on the list because of their integrity. I was familiar them with previous work related experiences. It took a while to get my truck back. That's because they don't by cheap aftermarket parts and they don't rush the job to get the vehicle out the door. I waited a while to write this because I wanted to thoroughly check everything out. The electrical components all work correctly. The mechanical components all work correctly and line up perfectly ( like when the truck was new ). Parts of the frame had to be cut off and replaced. You can't even tell where the new welds are. The truck tracks straight down the road. When you shine a bright flashlight on the replaced and repainted areas, you do not see two different paint jobs. The truck looks like it came off the showroom floor. My wife's BMW body shop couldn't do that a few years ago. I cannot say enough about honesty and integrity in the way they treat people and get the work done correctly.

Pete Pacelli is very upfront and helpful. We had hail damage and his entire team is amazing, they all did a very good PDR (Paint-less Dent Removal). Dealing with Pete made our lives much better. We definitely recommend.

I can’t say enough about the people at Rendel’s West Collision Specialists on Republic Avenue in Joliet, Illinois. Pete and his staff are very friendly and professional. They went above and beyond what they needed to do for me while I was getting my vehicle fixed at their location and the outcome was amazing. My decision to use them in the future for any autobody needs I may have is an easy one. I suggest that if you ever need any auto body needs for your vehicle that you should look no further than Rendel’s West Collision Specialists. You’ll be glad that you made that decision.

My 2007 Corvette show car got sideswiped on the drivers side. lots of gouges and scuffs in the fiberglass body. Also wrap graphics on that side were destroyed. Rendels West did an outstanding job on the body work and the paint match which is important on a show car. Their professionalism was beyond expectations and I would never hesitate to use Rendel's West for repairs if needed.

The folks at this shop are just phenomenal!! I had to bother them a few of times this past couple of weeks during the processing of my daughter's car being totaled, retrieving things from her car and all the mess with what the insurance company had me do while the car was at Rendel's. But they were all very helpful and kind. Thanks for helping to make this stressful experience a little easier!!

Going to Rendel's was a calming and pleasant experience when i was stressed out. Mr Pete and Julie made me feel at home as they took care of me explaining what had to be done to my 2019 Chevy Blazer and told me what time it will be ready. The whole process was good they had answers for me when i called with any issues. I was very pleased with the work that was done. I was very comfortable with the whole process. I will recommend this place for any work on auto.

I was hit twice and took my car to Rendels to have repaired. When I got it back the paint color was matched perfectly. I would recommend them to anyone. If you have to get your car fixed take it to Rendels if you want it to look brand new! Thanks to Pete and Julie for making it so convenient for me!!

This shop was recommended to me by our Hyundai dealer. I was greatly impressed on the wealth of knowledge Pete had during the estimate process. When I picked up my car it was absolutely flawless. Pete and the crew went above and beyond by not only washing the exterior but detailing the interior. I would highly recommend this shop for all your auto body needs.

I’ve used Rendels West now twice and they are always the best. Pete worked with me both times on the estimate and explaining the process. The woman who helps at the front desk (I believe her name is Julie) as well is always just as helpful and nice. I’ve picked up my car twice now looking brand new off the lot. I won’t go anywhere else for any body work when it comes to my car.

Absolutely quality work. Had the car detailed, and it looked great. Everything was repaired and even the areas of detail need, buff out, waxing interior. They offer a excellent detailing service.
