About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Boyles Body Works with a puzzled look on his face. Over the intercom, an unfamiliar voice crackled: 'Your truck's paint job is now officially approved by our resident expert.' The delivery driver scratched his head and replied, ‘But I didn’t order any paint job!’ The voice laughed softly over the intercom: ‘That’s because it was your neighbor who insisted on it.’ Turns out, someone had mistakenly ordered custom flames for their own truck and thought they looked great on his too.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Boyles Body Works one afternoon, muttering under his breath as he eyed the old sign above the garage door: ‘Body Works—Fix It or Forget It.’ He climbed out of his truck and noticed an unfamiliar car parked next to him, its engine still running. 'This place must be some kind of miracle,' he thought aloud, 'if that thing can start here.' As he approached the counter, a gruff voice greeted him from behind the grease-stained desk: ‘What’s wrong with your baby?’ The delivery driver glanced back at the mysterious car, then shrugged and replied, ‘Nothing much, just needs a tune-up.’ A regular sitting nearby chuckled softly, shaking his head and whispering to himself, ‘Boyles Body Works—fix it or forget it…and they never forget!’

3. One day, a curious neighbor asked the mechanic: ‘Why does your sign keep changing colors?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘It’s just an old trick to attract customers.’ But no one could explain why the neon letters seemed to dance in the night. Finally, after weeks of speculation, a delivery driver stopped by one evening. He casually remarked, 'Hey, I noticed those lights are always on when you’re working late.' The mechanic smiled and said, 'Oh yeah? Just my way of saying “open for business”!' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another friendly neighborhood prank.

4. A delivery driver pulled up to Boyles Body Works one evening, frowning at the strange note taped to the door. ‘What’s this?’ he muttered, reading aloud: ‘Dear Mechanic, please fix my car… or else.’ The mechanic, Boyle, looked up from his wrench with a twinkle in his eye. 'Or else what?' he asked, grinning. The next morning, the note was gone and the car ran like new. A few days later, a neighbor dropped off a cake with a simple message: "Thanks for not taking us seriously!"}
