By-pass Auto Body & 24 Hour Towing

"Over 50 Years of Experience!"

About Us

The By-pass Auto Body & 24 Hour Towing company had a humble beginning in 1970 as Ron Bitschenauer began fixing cars in the garage at his home. After a few years, Ron took his love of cars and automotive knowledge and decided to expand his repair business outside the family garage. He launched his collision repair center in 1971 out of the old Capital Trade School on Bypass 66. The business then moved to Browning Road for a short time before coming to its permanent location on Clear Lake Avenue in 1976. Ron and wife Mary operated By-Pass until 1998 when the business was sold to their sons Bob and Bill. The brothers have kept By-Pass running smoothly for over 19 years with their wives by their sides: Lori, Secretary, and Kim, Treasurer.

They are the best Kelly and Jack help us to find a closer place to get my van fix for a recall it would have cost of me $250 to have it towed to Lincoln which wasn't too bad but couldn't afford it to make it a cheaper trip to somewhere closer

On 12/27/2024 Steve Mozley had this to say:
By-Pass Auto Body & 24-Hour Towing, thank you for supporting the Springfield Crappie Club with gift certificates for your professional auto details.

Thank you for the difference you made!

On 10/22/2024 Carol Gowdy had this to say:
We were told by another company that the door dings couldn't be removed without replacing the entire door panel. Took it to By-Pass, 2 hours later the dents are gone (very reasonable price) and it looks like new! This is the second car we've taken there for paintless dent removal...we'll never go anywhere else!
