Hoernis Auto Body

Hoernis Auto Body was founded in 1964 by James L. Hoernis. Long known for high quality work, and outstanding customer service, Hoernis has grown to become the oldest and most respected collision repair center in Belleville, Illinois. The business has always kept up with current technology in automotive design and repair methodologies. It was one of the first collision repair centers in the area to have the ability to repair the "Unibody" type vehicles introduced to the market in the late 1970's and early 1980's. More recently, the shop was the first in the area to adopt environmentally friendly water- based painting systems. Since 1982, the company has been led by James's son, Russell Hoernis, who has worked with his siblings Debra Kruep, and Steve Hoernis, to carry on the family tradition.
