      I took my 2013 ****** sienna minivan to this location to be fixed on June 24 2024. It was front passenger side damage. Bumper and wheel. There were scratches and marks around the van from previous damage. They specifically said they could not touch the passenger door. I said fine, I know its previous damage. I got the vehicle back with a big chip out of the passenger door. I thought they said they couldnt touch that door? I told them about it. They said there is nothing they can do. No offer of money off. No offer to touch up the chip. Just nothing the can do. They keep insisting that there was previous repairs of that door. I bought the vehicle new from the dealership. I know of all the repairs made and that door has never been repaired.

      I am currently having my vehicle fixed at the Gerber Collision in ********, and it is the worst experience I have ever had in getting a vehicle repaired. There were multiple delays in dealing with the insurance company, which Gerber claimed was due to the insurance rep. **** I talked to the insurance rep, he told a different story. Then, the Gerber employee who was in discussions with the insurance was out of the office for a week right in the middle of everything, and discussions about the repairs just halted until he was back in the office. What kind of business doesn't have someone pick up the slack when a worker is out of the office? Then, they finally started the repairs, and when they were almost done, the electricity went out in the shop and stayed off for two weeks. Repairs just halted during that time. There were no contingency plans, and the employee I spoke with wouldn't even entertain the idea of sending the car to a different Gerber location to finish the repairs. Finally, the electricity is turned back on, and the tech who was finishing the paint job screwed it up so they had to redo it, resulting in another week-and-a-half delay with my car. As of the time of this posting, they have had my car for nearly three months and have delayed my pickup date four times. I still don't have a vehicle, and no one has bothered to apologize for the inconvenience caused by all of these delays. Their customer service is atrocious and they seem to be incompetent. I regret giving them my car and will never use them again.
