Keeping your car's exterior clean helps reduce the risk of corrosion, protects paint, trim, and makes it easier to spot damage before it worsens. A clean vehicle supports overall vehicle health, longevity, and safer operation. You don’t need to be in an accident to have damage on your vehicle but if dirt and sun has taken a toll on your car’s paint, we can help. Stop by for an estimate! 🦜🍂 ⛈️ 🚗 ☀️💨🛘

Please go see our friends at Effingham County Animal Shelter & Control to meet Captain and consider taking him home with you! 🐶 🐾

🚗✨ COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT ✨🚗

We are incredibly thankful for businesses that choose to support shelter pets, and today we want to give a huge shoutout to J&R Collision Centers for sponsoring CAPTAIN’S adoption fee! 🐾❤️

Kierstyn, the office manager at J&R, stopped by to drop off the sponsorship check, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their kindness and support.

✨ J&R Collision Centers: reaching our communities through quality, compassion, and care. ✨

And now… let’s talk about the handsome guy they chose to sponsor. 🐶

Captain is almost 2 years old and packed full of personality. He is smart, deeply loyal, toy obsessed, and forms incredibly strong bonds with his people. He thrives with structure, patience, and understanding, and once he trusts you, he becomes your shadow.

Captain would do best in:
🐾 A calm home
🐾 No small children
🐾 No cats
🐾 Someone willing to give him time to settle in and shine

Thanks to J&R Collision Centers, Captain’s adoption fee is covered. Now all he needs is the right person to finally give him the forever home he’s been waiting for. 💙

📌 Please fill out the adoption application pinned at the top of our page. (All pets in the home must be spayed/neutered and up to date on vaccinations.)

Happy Anniversary to US! 🎉

Can you believe we have called Belleville home for a year now?! Time sure flies when you’re fixin’ cars! If you haven’t already, swing by and see us!

After 45 Years… The Rumors Are True!

Well folks, it’s official — Mike is actually retiring. Yes, you read that right. After four decades of fixing fenders, matching paint like a magician, and saying “just a couple more years,” Mike Bach Auto Body is closing its doors as you know it, while Mike and Marcia ride off into the sunset — hopefully in a dent-free car.

We’ve been incredibly lucky to serve this community for the past 45 years. What started as a small family shop turned into a place where we not only repaired vehicles, but also built friendships, shared stories, and got to know generations of amazing customers.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for trusting us with your cars, your business, and your support. Whether you came in after a minor fender bender or a major “oops,” you were always more than just a customer — you were part of the Bach Auto Body family.

To everyone who said Mike would never retire… we didn’t believe it either. But it’s time to hang up the paint gun and enjoy life beyond the garage. We’ll miss the buzz of the shop, the smell of fresh paint, and most of all — you.

Our last day will be May 16th, but the shop isn’t going anywhere — J&R Collision Centers will be taking over and continuing to serve customers with the same care and quality you’ve come to expect. They are a family owned and operated company from the Effingham area with a history very similar to ours. Jeremy Bach will continue to lead the same great team of employees in the shop as he has done for the last 20 years. They will also be bringing in new technicians and new technology that will allow them to continue the tradition of excellent service. We hope you’ll give the J&R Collision crew the same opportunity to earn your trust that you’ve so generously given to us over the years!
