Gerber were great! Repair looks like new. Their team kept me in the loop at every step of the process. I would not hesitate to return if needed.

This is my second time using Gerber collision, and I would recommend it to everyone

Very courteous people and very qualified

Customer service was excellent

Mark (Ford owner) reviewed 8/7/26

The preliminary estimate was quite a bit lower than the final cost. Makes me wonder if the low bid was to get the job and then, since it was insurance… you could charge more.

The car looks great!

I appreciate the updates throughout the 2 weeks on the progress.

I would recommend anyone go there as they are amazing at what they do in shop and office.

They did an amazing job with the repairs, my car looks like it was never hit. Also loved how Gerber went the extra step, keeping in contact, making sure I knew all that was happening with my car and when it would be finished.

Christian (Ford owner) reviewed 7/27/26

Katy was amazing, I was kept updated on the status of my car. The work looks amazing.

David (Ford owner) reviewed 7/27/26

Had to clean the roof of the explorer off it had a white film on top of the water spots. Had to fell the reservoir for the wipers that was empty they replaced that piece. I did not try it to see if it worked.
