The year was 1976.  There was a man with a dream. The man was Edward Herman and his dream was to own his own auto body shop.   At the time, Ed was the manager of the body shop at Best Chevrolet.  It was time to move on.   Ed located and purchased land at 325 Washington Street in Abington Massachusetts.  The land also came with a 13 room house and a multi-bay garage in the back. The garage was the beginnings of Route 18 Auto Body and started out as an auto body only business.  Business was a bit slow at first, but some of Ed's former customers brought their business there and in fact some are still loyal customers today.  By word of mouth and due to the excellent results attained, the business grew.  Ed hired a couple of trained professional body men and together pumped out excellent work.

A couple of years later the 13 room house in front was demolished, most of the area was paved to make way for the auto sales and to add to the existing building to make bays to accommodate the mechanical services part of the business.  Ed again went out and hired competent and trained professionals to handle that aspect of the business.

Today the business employs 3 full time body shop techs and 3 full time mechanics, most of whom have been with the company well over 10 years.
