Carl's Body Shop & Towing
The large glass panes of Carl’s Body Shop were Carl Hounshell’s window to the world – and life’s little mishaps. In 1932, he and his bride moved to Dayton where he first worked at Frigidaire until opening the now famous Carl’s Body Shop location. The neighborhood and its residents were his friends and his shop became an enduring landmark. Throughout the years Carl kept the business a family affair. His son – Jerry Hounshell – has worked 40 years with his father. Daughter, Virginia, began working there when she was just 10 years old. It was there that she eventually met her husband Tom, who worked in the body shop. Carl was still working 10-hour days when he was diagnosed with lung cancer. He succumbed to the disease in 1988. The family was looking for someone to take over the established business, and so enters the new and current owner – Matt Miller. In 1989, there were only six employees and profit of $400,000 a year. Fast forward – 30 employees and $2 million in sales per year.

There were 2 ladies in the office I was ignored by both. A couple of men walked in behind me and were helped before me. The girls once I made it known I was ignored had an attitude with ME for being upset about being looked over! Apologies totally unsympathetic. Being short staffed is no excuse for being RUDE! How are you short staffed if it’s 2 people in the office and 2 people waiting to be helped 🤔
