About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old man parked his car outside European Auto Body and noticed something strange on the workshop’s loading dock—a small wooden crate with no label or markings. Curious, he opened it to discover a dusty old globe, its surface etched with intricate designs. As he held it, the globe started gently glowing, and when he turned around, everyone in the shop was staring at him with big smiles. Turns out, it was just an old gag from the owner—an April Fool's prank that had become part of the shop's legend. The old man laughed it off, shook hands with the surprised mechanic, and drove away, muttering something about 'old tricks never die.'

2. A delivery driver pulled up to European Auto Body one afternoon with a box of parts for a customer’s Mercedes. As he unloaded the boxes onto the truck bed, something glinted in the sun—a small, silver keyring shaped like a tiny steering wheel. Curious, he picked it up and found attached a note reading: ‘For your next client.’ The delivery driver shrugged, thinking nothing of it, and drove off. Later that evening, while fixing another car, he noticed an old lady waiting outside. She asked if her neighbour's car was fixed yet—turns out she was his next client. The driver grinned, unlocked the car, and saw the exact same tiny steering-wheel keyring dangling from her purse. 'Small world,' he thought, shaking his head with a smile.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to European Auto Body one day with a mysterious package. As he stepped out of his truck, he overheard a regular inside muttering something about ‘the usual’—but what exactly did that mean? Suddenly, an old neighbor walked in and asked for his usual fix. The delivery guy grinned: ‘Hey, isn’t that your bike?’ Turned out, it was—a customized Vespa parked outside. Everyone laughed as the regular shook his head: ‘Same ol’ same ol’, just different wheels.’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to European Auto Body one night with a mysterious package. As he approached the door, the owner looked up from under the hood of a car and asked, 'Anything explode today?' The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and said, ‘Not exactly, but I do have something for your cat.’ The owner raised an eyebrow, got down from under the car, and replied, ‘You’ve been feeding my Tabby again?’ They both laughed as the driver handed over a bag of treats, and that was how European Auto Body became known for its secret midnight deliveries of snacks.
