About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to BJ Auto Body Shop and noticed an odd sound coming from inside—like someone humming along with the radio, but in perfect pitch. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an old mechanic whistling Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony as he worked on a car. The legend says customers started asking for ‘the Beethoven tune’ every time they came in. Word spread quickly around town, and soon enough, people were driving miles just to hear the symphony. One day, an elderly lady asked if she could bring her own CD player so she wouldn’t miss a note. The old mechanic smiled and nodded, never missing a beat.

2. One day, an old man walked into BJ Auto Body Shop and asked the mechanic, ‘Do you fix cars that talk?’ The mechanic replied, ‘Not yet.’ Then a delivery driver chimed in, ‘I saw my truck talking yesterday!’ The mechanic shook his head with a smile: ‘We’ll get there someday, but right now, we fix cars that drive.’ The old man laughed heartily, and left knowing he’d found a place where even talking cars would be understood.

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, a delivery driver pulled up to BJ Auto Body Shop with a mysterious package. The package was wrapped in brown paper and sealed with tape, but inside was nothing but an old coffee mug emblazoned with ‘World’s Best Mechanic.’ The delivery driver grinned sheepishly and said, ‘Thought it might cheer you guys up.’ A regular passing by whistled softly and commented, ‘That’s BJ alright—always fixing more than just cars around here.’

4. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, a delivery driver brought in a crate of parts. As he opened it, his dog began barking hysterically, pointing its nose towards the empty parking lot. The mechanic shrugged, but soon enough, every customer who entered saw something odd too—a tiny, glowing light flickering among the shadows. Curious, one of the mechanics approached the light and found only a small, misplaced neon sign from another shop down the street. Turns out, it had been accidentally swapped during an overnight swap meet. Everyone laughed, including the dog, which promptly fell asleep on top of the new sign, snoring like a trucker on coffee.
