Stolen parts

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

State farm ask me to take my car to get it appraised. My car was deemed unsafe to drive and I was advised by gerber to leave my car on there site(which I adked is it going to be safe here, i was told yes).

My car was left at gerber until state farm made a decision. When i was told to go pick up my car I noticed that there was pieces missing from my car. Upon contacting gerber i was told that my car did come in with the part because they have pictures.

I asked gerber if I can come back to have my part installed back on my car and i was told that they are not responsible and they cant help me with that and then they ended the call. I tried calling back and they will not answer my call.

They charged for work that they didn't do.

The body shop repairman said he buffed out the scratches, but shop manager told me they painted it. They charged my insurance company for all kinds of stuff they didn't do.

Oh and when I didn't on Friday they reworked the bill. Also I thought the repairman was going to swing on me right in front of the boss and adjuster. What a *** show.

I would stay away from this shop at all costs. And to top it off truck isn't done.

Thieves and cheats.

So, I got hit by a hit and run driver, who was eventually caught and is being prosecuted.

Gerber decided they would estimate repairs of a fender, door, and wheel at over $6k, on a 2009 Silverado Z-71.

Their estimator supposedly uses "industry standard" software to do his estimations. Insurance adjuster was first to call BS, as some of the charges ($133 for a Z-71 decal, not associated with the accident, $148 for a "Silverado" nameplate.

Both of which are $15 FROM CHEVY) were ludicrous. Adjuster notified me that their estimate would mean a total loss of the truck, but not to worry, because Gerber wanted to buy it for parts. Ah, ding ding!

Adjuster notified me to take it elsewhere. So, I am.

The general manager of the Gerber shop then tries to tell me how unethical other body shops are, especially if they aren't using the software they use, as it's "widely accepted" as perfect. Perfect garbage, maybe, as they list replacing the fender (12 bolts, 1.5 hours off, 1.5 hours on for a total of 3 hours) at 29.2 hours, $55 an hour. The fender? A junkyard pull they are listing as a "new-CAPA certified fender from LKQ "(a widely known u-pull salvage company).

They're buying a fender from another wreck for $155 and charging $400 as a CAPA certified new part. Shady doesn't begin to describe it. Unethical and immoral for sure. I won't even get into the rest of the "estimate" because I don't have the time or energy.

Just suffice to say their attempting to estimate a total loss, and then buy my truck from the insurance company for cheap parts is a HUGE conflict of interest. I'm contacting our state's attorney.

Clayton NC location. I worked with my insurance company to ensure that they would cover a full replacement quarter panel instead of opting for a bang out repair.

My insurance agent conferenced Gerber into the call to bring them up to speed on this aspect. Gerber was resistant to providing our insurance company an estimate for a replacement instead of a bang out. We followed up a few days later and Gerber tells us that they are no longer willing to do the repair.

Be your own judge but that struck me as smelling fishy. Buyer beware.

Poor customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We have been trying to get our car fixed since April 22 as we were rear ended. We have scheduled at least 3 separate appointments and all have been cancelled for no reason and money sent back to the insurance company without them even contacting us.

My husband has been down there and I have written reviews but we still can't get our car fixed. We had our last appointment scheduled for August 29 and now they say we didn't have an appointment and they are not accepting appointments until October!! This is ridiculous we have been back and forth with this company.

I'm not sure if the car guys have anything to do with it, but the lady in the office needs to be Fired!! She has been nothing but a pain in the *** since this process started.

Preferred solution: We don't need an apology and we don't even want to go there ever again, but something needs to be done about this company a retraining or firing or something.

User's recommendation: Go anywhere else even to another state if you have to!

Gerber not honoring their warranty

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Gerber Collision And Glass - Gerber not honoring their warranty

Gerber in Saint Augustine repaired rear end collision damage to my car. They painted/clear coated the spoiler with the repair work.

The spoiler was not up to standards, but I decided to accept it anyway. Almost two years later the clear coat is failing on the spoiler.

Gerber refuse to honor the warranty because they said that part of the work wasn't explicitly listed on their paperwork. Currently, I am waiting for a response from the main office.

View full review
Pros:
  • Timely service
Cons:
  • Not honoring the warranty for their work

Preferred solution: Repair the paint and clear coat on the spoiler of my car. Gerber clear coated and/or painted it while repairing my car. Gerber didn't explicitly list it on the Final Bill so they won't honor the warranty. Please stand by your work. RO Number: 2310416932

Poor workmanship and Use of Vehicle Without Permission

A deer hit the side of my vehicle. Insurance company offered Gerber as an approved vendor.

I filled the tank of the vehicle with gas and dropped the vehicle off at Gerber (I used a gas card so I have a receipt). Didn't get the vehicle back for 30 days. Some damage was not repaired, things were not aligned, driver window used to raise and lower with a touch but no longer does.When I got the vehicle back, it had less than 1/2 tank.

Gerber claims they only put a mile on the car. So either the gasoline evaporated mysteriously or someone was using my vehicle while I was standing in the rain waiting for a bus!

Stay away from the Lombard, Il. location.They are liars, and cheats.

They had me bring in my car for a new rear bumper (plastic) on Jan. 3rd ans said they would have my car ready in 2 weeks. My insurance allows me thirty days for a loner (no problem). 3 weeks later i called about my car and they had not even started on it (the usual BS about the delays) but the car would be ready the following Thursday which was OK.

When Thursday rolled around they had not even started on the car and my time was up on the rental. I explained the rental problem and i needed a car and asked if they would supply a loaner which they couldn't. I talked to the branch manager and expressed my displeasure and he agreed to pay for the additional 4 days of the rental. He contacted the car rental agent and told them to bill Gerber for the overage.

When the car rental agent called them several days later they claimed they were not going to pay (needless to say this was after i paid the deductible) The rental company was forced to chage the overage to my credit card. I then called Gerber back and they then said they would either pay me direct or pay the rental company. Well neither of us has received the payment and now they wont take my calls. The worst part of this was they ESTIMATED the damage at $2800.00 and when all was said and done received a total of $4500..00 what a joke .

They have not heard the last from me. STAY AWAY FROM THEM.

Poor workmanship and use of vehicle without permission

Deer crashed into side of vehicle. Filled the vehicle with gasoline (I used a gas card, so I have a receipt) and dropped it off.

Didn't get vehicle back for 30 days. Ran out of insurance allowance on rental car. When I got the car back, the tank had less than 1/2 tank yet Gerber marked they had only put a mile on the odometer. While I waited for a bus in the rain, someone was putting about 160 miles on my car.

The workmanship is horrible.

Some of the damage was never repaired, things don't align and my driver window which once lowered and raised with just a touch no longer works that way. If you have to use this place, take a pic of your odometer and gas gauge and carry an umbrella because you will be walking or riding a bus

Worse service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I had the worst experience at Gerber Auto in Oshkosh Wisconsin. I was told my car would be done in 13-15 days and it took 31 days and this was not because they were waiting on parts they neglected to start working on my vehicle when the parts arrived.

They kept giving me excuse after excuse event stating the technician working in my vehicle had a lot of funerals to go to in last last few weeks. They only started work on my vehicle when I went into the shop and wanted to look at their work. Then it was a miracle what they told me was the quarter panel takes a long time.

But after my visit on a Thursday they had everything on by that following Monday.

The work they did was great but I could have done with the truth. I also now have to take it back in as a part on the door is broken on the inside.

Gerber is not to be trusted, trust me. They treat their employees just as bad as their customers.

This is a Canadian company who attempts to bully the customers, parts vendors, paint suppliers, and employees. I, a former employee have sued them over my wages, won, and they still haven't paid.

Unfortunately, due to everything going with the pandemic and storms...etc. no one is able to get the necessary parts needed and the parts they are able to get, insurance adjustors are dictating the price they are willing to pay for said parts and repairs. .
