Duke's Auto Body at 243 West Fay Avenue, Addison, Illinois.

I bought a car from one of Duke’s employees. The body shop brokered the purchase as the dealer. Basically, the owner of the shop did the paperwork for the purchase (bill of sale, title transfer, taxes), which included a small fee, even though I was actually buying the car from an employee of the shop. I had the car checked out by an external mechanic before I purchased it and everything was fine. I had no problems with the purchase process itself. I was initially a little skeptical when I learned that I would actually be buying the car through the body shop as the “dealer,” especially because I found the vehicle on Craigslist and was expecting to buy it from a private seller. However, because the car was purchased through the body shop, which is licensed as a used car dealer, I was able to drive away with a temporary tag. This was nice to have, and unexpected, since I wouldn’t have been able to get temporary registration tags from a private seller. So far the car has served me well and survived a trip to Ohio and back. Thanks!
