Three decades of careful, honest work in Hermosa.
A family-owned auto body and mechanical shop on Diversey Avenue — building cars and relationships since 1995.
Started in a single bay, grown by word of mouth.
Roman Autobody opened its doors in 1995 with a single bay, a paint booth, and a stubborn belief that working on someone's car ought to be done with the same care you'd give your own. Three decades later, that hasn't changed — even as the shop has grown to serve thousands of cars and families across Chicago.
We're not a chain. We don't upsell. The people you meet at the front desk are the same ones turning the wrenches, mixing the paint, and answering your calls when something doesn't feel right after the work is done.
Hermosa is home. Some of our customers have been bringing their cars here longer than our newest mechanics have been alive. That's a responsibility we take seriously, and it's why we keep showing up — Monday through Saturday — to do the work right the first time.
