IMPORTANT UPDATE
Dear Valued Customers, Suppliers and Friends,

As some of you may or may not know, we have made the decision to close Carlson’s Body Shop after 69 wonderful years. I want to share some important information regarding this transition.

We will continue offering automotive services and truck accessories for the time being. Our current location at 121 E. Main St. will remain open until the building is sold. Please note, our PO Box, phone number, and email addresses will remain the same. For convenience, you might find it easier to use our text number at 605-368-1692.

Starting October 4th, our hours will be updated. As I have accepted a full-time position at a different employer.
-Monday through Friday: By appointment only
-Saturday: Open from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., with the possibility of extended hours
-We will try our best to keep hours updated on Social Media, website and the front office door.

I have truly enjoyed my 18 years working in the automotive industry, and I am grateful for the relationships and experiences over the years. This new opportunity is a chance for me to make a fresh start, and I appreciate your understanding and support.

Thank you for your business and trust over the years.

Respectfully,
Daniel Carlson

Subject: 🐾 Retirement Announcement: Tank, Our Shop Cat

Dear Friends, Customers, and fellow Beresford Residents

After years of loyal service as Chief Mechanic, Pest Control Supervisor, and Morale Officer, our beloved shop cat, Tank, has decided it’s time to hang up his work boots (well… paws) and enjoy a well-earned retirement.

Tank joined our team on October 2018 and quickly proved himself invaluable — greeting customers with a head bump, supervising all major repairs from the warmest sunny spot, and ensuring not a single mouse dared trespass. His work ethic (when awake) was unmatched, and his napping skills remain the gold standard.

In retirement, Tank plans to pursue his passions: long naps, bird-watching, snack sampling, and occasional guest appearances in the shop to ensure we’re still working hard.

Please join us in thanking Tank for his years of dedication and in wishing him the happiest of retirements. We’ll miss seeing him on the clock every day, but we know he’s earned his time in the sun — literally.

With love and whiskers,
Carlson's Body Shop

PS. Tank plans on working until August 29th. After that he will be spending his days with his retirement buddies. Frank (cat) and Ellie & Lucy (dogs)
