About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an old mechanic named Joe was working on a classic car when he heard a voice from behind the counter. ‘Hey, Joe,’ said a delivery driver, ‘you ever notice how fast cars get fixed here?’ Joe shrugged and smiled. 'Maybe it's because I never rush,' he replied. The next day, everyone in town stopped asking questions and started dropping off their cars at Essex Body Shop—just to be safe.'
2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Essex Body Shop with a mysterious package. As he stepped inside, the smell of fresh paint and coffee filled the air. The delivery driver opened the box curiously, revealing only a small note that read: ‘Fix whatever’s broken here.’ He shrugged, found an old scratch on the wall, and fixed it with pride. A few days later, his neighbor popped in, smiling: ‘Hey, looks like someone finally took care of that pesky dent!’
3. One afternoon, a neighbor walked into Essex Body Shop carrying a large box under each arm. The smell of freshly painted cars filled the air as he approached the counter. ‘Anybody seen my wife?’ he asked with a big smile. ‘She ran off with another box,’ someone joked behind him. Turns out, it was just his weekly grocery haul—Essex Body Shop had become so familiar that even groceries felt like repairs.
4. One night, after closing hours, a delivery driver left a strange package in the shop's parking lot. The next morning, no one could figure out what it contained. Finally, someone opened the box with a crowbar and found… a crate of warm cookies labeled ‘Thank you for your service!’ Turns out, a neighbor had mistakenly delivered them instead of the usual parts order.
