PORT CHARLOTTE, FL (December 28, 2024) – On, December 23, a young man from the Bismarck area experienced a life-changing event–the presentation of a beautiful 2021 Chevrolet Traverse to provide him means to get to work and to take care of his family–thanks to the National Auto Body Council Recycled Rides® program along with car donor Farmers Insurance and repair partner Abra Auto Body.
Tyler Bachmeier is a young man with a wife and brand-new baby boy. Tyler has worked his way through many life challenges and setbacks. He credits his faith with enabling him to turn his life around over the last three years. He works hard to support his wife and son. His car was totaled in an accident, and it has made it difficult for him to get to work. This NABC® donated vehicle ensures that he can drive to work and church and have a reliable vehicle for his family as he works to improve his financial situation. Tyler Bachmeier was nominated for the NABC Recycled Rides® donation by New Song Church of Bismarck.
Abra Auto Body Bismarck has three locations in North Dakota and is owned and operated by the Buller Automotive Group of dealerships and repair centers, as well as being associated with one of the largest and most respected national brands in the collision repair business, Abra.

ABOUT THE NATIONAL AUTO BODY COUNCIL®
The National Auto Body Council® is the premier organization of collision industry partners dedicated to strategic networking opportunities that positively change lives in the communities we serve. The collaborative membership of the National Auto Body Council® has gifted more than 3,500 vehicles and provided extrication opportunities for some 6,000 First Responders in communities around the country through NABC Recycled Rides®, NABC First Responder Emergency Extrication (F.R.E.E.™) and the NABC® Community Impact program. That effort equates to a 4:1 ROI in dollar value delivered from NABC® membership dollars. The NABC Changing and Saving Lives Foundation, a 501c3 organization, is committed to the goal of driving change for veterans, military members, first responders and families in need, while harnessing the power of the collective membership of the collision repair industry to positively impact communities where we live and work. As demand for NABC® programs like NABC Recycled Rides® and NABC F.R.E.E.™ grows, so do the needs for resources to manage these important programs. Being able to pursue grants, gifts and donations allows NABC to expand these programs to serve those in need and help communities where we live and work.
