John is a fourth-generation resident of the Libertyville/Mundelein area and his great grandfather was the Mundelein Sheriff from 1942 to 1948. John's father bought Gustafson in 1975 and as a young boy, John helped around the Mundelein auto shop and caught the automotive bug. In preparation to follow in his dad's footsteps, John went to Lake Forest College to earn a B.A. in Business.
As one of the most reputable auto body repair shops in our area, we strive to give our customers the peace of mind they need to overcome the stress of being in a Mundelein car accident.

If you are going through insurance, the tow bill will be billed directly to them. If you decide to pay out of pocket, the tow bill will be added to the final bill and due at the time the repair is complete. If you need a rental car, we can help you make the necessary arrangements. Insurance companies will only pay for a rental car if you have that option on your policy or if you are the claimant.

Great Gustafson!
I recently had the opportunity to have some body work done on my car (because someone backed into the right side in a parking lot!) and Gustafson Body Shop in Mundelein was terrific!
From the friendly and efficient estimate to the end result, they were on time, on budget, communicative and hooked me up with a rental to save me another headache.
Should you ever need auto body work, check out Gustafson Body Shop - you'll be glad you did!

I found my new body shop!!!! The Team at Gustafson is absolutely the best - most friendly, accommodating and reasonably priced auto repair experience I've ever had. Completely unrelated to my repair, the mechanic even buffed out a scratch I had near my gas tank and tried to not charge me a dime for it. Their attention to detail and service is unparalleled. You owe it to yourself to give them a shot.

We've taken our car to Gustafson twice for work - after being rear-ended in both cases. Each time they went above and beyond to work with us and provide the most reasonable estimate among those that we obtained. It was professional and turned out perfect every time. We appreciate that Gustafson provides personal service and works with you to make a traumatic situation as tolerable as it can be.

Gustafson Body Shop is outstanding! We had body work that had to be done on one of our vehicles. John and his team educated us on what to expect and kept things simple. They have the knowledge and expertise to get the job done. They took the time to communicate the process and when the car would be completed. I appreciate the care they took in getting the painting just right.

Had my 15 year old Acura repaired there after it was hit while parked. They did a perfect job. They found a few things that the insurance estimator missed, and worked with insurance company to assure all was covered. Work was finished when promised. Hopefully I won't need their services again, but if I do I'll certainly go back.

As an owner of of BMW's that we maintain in "Peak" condition and keep for long periods of time before trade in; only the "best" will due in the event of an accident.
Gustafson Body Shop has excellent relationships with the insurance companies and understands how to work with them on our behalf.
Having worked with them on several occasions over the years, in every case the process was effortless and work was done to perfection.
