About

History & Location

Bakker Auto Trim started business in 1918 near Shelby, MI and was moved to the Pine St. corridor of downtown Muskegon shortly thereafter. Many long time customers recall our former location at the corner of Pine & Hartford in a small former filling station run by Neil and Paul Spoelman. In April of 2016, Bakker relocated to 3148 S. Getty St Muskegon, a 9000 sf facility with better parking/workspace.
