  am writing to express my extreme dissatisfaction with the service I received at Gerber Collision & Glass location on ******************* in ***********, *******. What should have been a straightforward experience turned into an absolute nightmare. I have never encountered such poor management, substandard workmanship, and outright disrespect in any service industry.From the very beginning, I was repeatedly assured that the work on my vehicle was done adequately, only to discover that this was not the case. I had to return my car multiple times due to incomplete or unsatisfactory repairs. This alone reflects a severe lack of craftsmanship and quality control. It's clear that the team at this location lacks the professionalism and technical skill to carry out their responsibilities ************** make matters worse, I discovered an offensive message written in the dirt on my engine that read fat b**** This is beyond unacceptable. The fact that someone in the establishment would have the audacity to deface my vehicle with such an insulting message shows a gross failure in both management and employee behavior. This level of unprofessionalism and disrespect should not be tolerated in any work environment, let alone one dealing with customers property.Had the staff been equipped with the appropriate skills and attitude, I would not have had to endure this repeated inconvenience, let alone this shocking level of disrespect. It is appalling that I entrusted your company with my car, only to be insulted and subjected to subpar service.Attached you will find video proof of the message left on my hood only discovered after taking my car to get serviced for an oil change.

  I was rear ended on 8/9/24. The insurance company of the person that hit me is GEICO. They gave a list of approved collision places, so I went with the first on the list, Gerber. They said they would cover all repairs. ****** from Gerber said he would have it done by 8/23. He called me 8/23 and said one of the parts was broken he had ordered so needed until 8/27. On 8/27 they called me to pick it up. The first thing I noticed was my electric liftgate wouldn't open. Upon opening manually, my husband and I discovered the rod was moving and the liftgate couldn't open or close. I told ******. He said he would look into it and call me the next day. GEICO called me on 8/28 and said he spoke to ****** and it's an issue with my vehicle and they wouldn't be covering it because it wasn't due to the accident, it was due to the repairman breaking it when fixing the seal and other repairs on the back end of my vehicle. I contacted ******. He explained it is an issue with my vehicle and it was "pretty much broken" when I left my vehicle and they broke it all the way. He said it would cost too much for him to fix it without GEICO paying for it. I just needed my vehicle, so I agree that I just would take it with it not working. Then he called me back later that day and told me the dome light and back up sensor were broken also, so I had to wait for parts to come in. On 8/30 they called that my vehicle was done. I picked it up and the rod is partly attached, but unable to be used. He gave me the part that they took off because it broke off. He told me nothing else. Now the area where you open the liftgate is loose and moving. Also the entire inside part of the liftgate isn't connected and moves around. ****** has stated he did the repairs related to the accident and GEICO won't cover the damage that Gerber caused. I am left with a vehicle that is more broken than when I dropped it off to Gerber Collision.

  I am rejecting this response because: Ron met with me on Thursday 10/3 and said he would touch base no later than today 10/7 with the plan. He implied they would fix the issues and repair my vehicle, but has not responded since. I don’t want the complaint closed because he hasn’t corresponded since 10/3, but the 7 days was going to up. He might not have a plan yet, but he hasn’t answered me about it yet.

  On August 8th 2024, my wife *********************** vehicle was taken in to Gerber ******** and Glass in *********** *******. She was in a minor accident and her truck had to be taken in to the shop. Upon picking up the truck 10 days later, there were new scratches to the paint, torn seals on the door, paint spray on the bumper as well as the clear coat completely stripped from a large section of the truck, we brought it back in to have then fix what they messed up, upon picking the truck up for the 2nd time we fund new things, such as extreme paint runs and defects to the brand new door we were supposed to have received. The shop charged the insurance company for a new door, but very clearly did not give us a new door, as there is obvious flaws to their paint job as well as some rust. Upon cleaning the paint spray off of the bumper, they completely stripped off paint over a large portion of my license plate as well. I'm now driving around with a plate that could very well get me a ticket, because of poor workmanship and carelessness

  Company has had my car since late June or early July. They claimed the repairs would take a week and the date keeps getting pushed back. They called again this morning to extend it to 9-16-2024. They have had the car finished other than a headlight since July 12th.

  My car was hit in December of 2018 and taken to gerber collision and glass to ve fixed. The place had my car for 3 months then gave it back to me with it making noise in the passenger side front where i was hit. All my dash lights were lite up on it which it wasnt before the accident. They took it back and had to take it to ***** to find there employees had put my wheel baring in backwards. They also had to take it back again because they put a faulty mirror on my car when was blowing my fuses causing me to go without heat in the winter. I got the car back and it was still making noise they wouldn't do anything further so i had to take it to another shop where they found the bolt on my control arm was not tightened down and did that for me. Then the axel went last year and gerber I had to fight with them to replace it even though all the parts they put on my car were life time warranty. Just as last time they are refusing to fix the control arm and my tie rod and the door. The door they put on is rusting and eating paint. While they straight out refused to fix my tie rod and control arm they offered to split the price on the door. Which i find completely unacceptable because they put a faulty part on my car they should be responsible for it. The reason they will not fix the other parts is they claim there was never any warranty on any of the parts. However all aftermarket parts come with a warranty. After 4 week of being told figure out whats wrong then contact us , then being told they would fix it get OME parts this time then getting contacted saying they would not fix any of it i have contacted my lawyer. I hope this can get resolved i just never wanted it to come to legal action. I really regret ever having this place touch my car and hope to let others know so they do not end up with the troubles and treatment i have

  I brought my car to them for bumper, uncarriage, and glass repair via All-State. Car was first brought in on 7/22. I was advised the work would take 2-3 days unless they found other problems. They found other problems, and told me that it would take until at least 7/26, but much more likely 7/29-30. I called on 7/26 and they advised that it would take until 7/31. I advised that this was fine, but I need the car no later than 1PM on 8/2 as I have a flight. Each day I called them to check in on the status because they have literally never called to give me any updates, notify me of any delays, nor have they ever returned a single phone call. They were nearly late on my car but I hounded them. But when I picked it up, the glass wasn't done! They also told me that the insurance company only funded an after market bumper, but it doesn't fit right. They gave me my car back w/ the slightly ill-fitting bumper, telling me to bring it back when I return from my trip and they would replace the bumper and glass. I brought the car back and they said it would take them 4 days - which is a lot given that they should already have the ***************************** ready since this was arranged weeks ago! I called them on day 4 and they said it wasn't ready b/c the parts weren't in, and they still hadn't even touched the glass b/c the there's not an insurance claim. As I told them FOUR times, there was an addendum to my bumper claim for the glass! They never called to tell me of the hold-up so I could remind them!I could go on and on, as there's more. But in summary: they have been late on EVERY deadline, have never called to give a single update, let me know of a single hold-up, and have never returned a single phone call. I have even involved my insurance adjuster and they're STILL not communicating! By all appearances, the ** and staff at this location fully do. not. care. I've tried being nice, I've tried yelling, I've got All-State involved. NO improvement. Still no call!

  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  ***** DID call me yesterday leaving a message requesting a call back. I did not call him back, nor will I be because he has shown repeatedly that his word means nothing. So, no, it is absolutely false that anything was resolved. There is nothing that he or anyone there can say to me, as they dropped the ball over and over and over again, including making the exact same mistake repeatedly despite me telling them repeatedly. It's also noteworthy that me filing a complaint with the BBB is the ONLY thing that has ever resulted in ***** calling me. None of my multiple requests for his calls before ever produced any calls. 
  
  Sincerely,

  I recently had a negative experience with my local Gerber Collision and Glass franchise facility located at ****************************************. Specifically, 1.) The facility failed to honor a scheduled appointment, leading me to think my car was being repaired whereas my car just sat in their parking lot for more than 2 weeks, 2.) the facility failed to notify me that their "appraisal" was complete on July 1, 2024 whereas I did not find this out until July 9, 2024 when I called them to inquire about the status, 3.) once the appraisal was completed, they refused to offer repair work because my vehicle is "too old", which I feel was unreasonable and was simply their way of getting rid of me as a customer. Given the way I was mistreated by this facility's staff, I sent a complaint to Gerber's corporate office on July 15, 2024. It has been more than a month, and they have yet to respond. At this time, I respectfully ask that someone from Gerber's corporate office contact me and let me know what is being done to address my complaint. Please do not refer me to your local facility's staff; their unprofessional behavior should speak for itself and I do not wish to deal with them any further.

  It has taken me a year and the encouragement of my therapist to finally share my experience with Gerber Collision. In September 2023, I took my Tesla Model 3 to their shop for trunk repairs, trusting them as a Tesla-authorized center. Unfortunately, it turned into one of the most disheartening experiences I've had with a business.When I picked up my vehicle, I noticed several items missing from both the center console and back seat, including a dog bed. The back seat liner was mishandled, with stains and signs it had been forced back incorrectly. *******************, who oversaw the repair, agreed the vehicle had likely been broken into and assured me the shop had surveillance footage. He promised to review it and get back to me, saying, "We will make it right." But after submitting a list of missing items and waiting a month, I received no updates despite numerous follow-ups.When I finally got a response from the General Manager, *****************************, it was dismissive and disappointing. He referenced a poorly framed, timestamp-free photo to suggest the items might not have been there. He also deflected responsibility by pointing out the shops location near a homeless population and mentioned their vehicles arent always securely locked. This felt like an excuse rather than addressing the real issue, especially since another theft had occurred just a week before.After expressing my dissatisfaction, I was accused by **** of trying to take advantage of the situation with my list of missing items, which was deeply hurtful. To make matters worse, their regional manager only offered to reimburse me for a dog beda token gesture that didnt address the broader issues or the breach of trust. To this day, I have received no surveillance footage, investigation report, or further updates.This was my first and last experience with Gerber Collision. I noticed they are no longer listed as a Tesla-authorized center, and Im relieved others wont have to go through what I did.

  I had been in a car accident a few months ago. My insurance company told me to use Gerber and that they would pay for the tow. Gerber "repaired" my car. However when I got the car back the radio and ac didn't work. The leather on the front of my dash was peeled back and shrunk from being stored outside for months. When I asked the tech about these issues specifically the radio and ac he instructed me it wasn't from the accident and that they didn't know why it happened or how they could fix it. While the car was at the shop I did receive a phone call from them stating my car was "complete" but they had to recharge the battery because they let it die. After I took my car to the ***** dealership and they fixed the car finding out the issue was components were shorted. They were not able to prove that it was from the accident though since another shop had already touched the car. Those expenses came out of my pocket. Everything worked perfectly before the accident and before Gerber worked on it. I had to pay thousands of dollars to get the repairs fixed as well as paying for a rental car. I wanted to make this report before I take them to small claims court to prevent this from happening to other people and to compensate me for repairs and time.
