    The first time I was informed my Ranger was repaired and presented to me after undergoing Gerberā€™s quality inspection, the entire right side of the truck bed was poorly painted and not supposed to be painted at all. At the beginning of my interactions with Jessi Hawley, Gerber Collisions representative, I experienced some difficulties in regards to my aftermarket exhaust. Due to the accident, my right exhaust pipe was damaged and pushed forward and off of the mount. During the install inspection, Jessi questioned me about who installed my exhaust system. I informed him that I installed the exhaust myself. Which in response, Jessi stated the reason my exhaust was pushed forward and crooked was due to improper installation and a missing support mount. I had to then physically roll under my truck and show Jessi the mount that he thought was missing and where the exhaust pipe was pushed back. Jessi and I then discussed only painting the scuff that was directly behind the rear bumper. Jessi attempted to insist on painting the entire right side of the truck bed, Jessi and I discussed this further and then informed me that Libertyā€™s representative was in agreeance with me and was only going to authorize repairs and paint to the damaged area. At this point, I was under the understanding that only the damaged area would be repaired and painted. Jessi and I discussed this and he indicated that doing the repair this was would leave a soft blend line behind the bumper, ā€œonly we would know was thereā€ (Jessi Hawley). This was the outcome and expectation I had when I agreed to have Gerber provide the repair service. When I received my truck back, about 4 weeks later, I was frustrated to say the least to see that they had painted the entire right side of my truck bed. As a result, the paint had fish eyes in it (small dots visible in the paint due to dust particles in the air at the time of painting). Small scratches crossed the bed, I am assuming from washing the truck with a dirty sponges. There was a line of orange primer showing between the bed and cab of the truck. The FX4 decal was ripped. Major damage to the top right corner of the bed occurred. The metal was cracked off between the top part of the truck ben and where the side rail protector is located. I was informed by Gerber that they had to replace this side rail protector because they broke the clips on the factory part during removal. My logical explanation for this is a worker broke both at the same time when a screwdriver or a tool like that was used to pry the two parts apart. Jessiā€™s comment on this damage as being a ā€œfactory stamping issueā€. (Jessi Hawley) Jessi remains adamant about this position despite the clearly visible crack marks in the metal, the bare metal showing, and no formation of rust that would have occurred during the year of owning a vehicle. None of this damage, with the exception of the bumper making contact with the bottom right corner of the bed, existed before Gerber took possession of and worked on my truck. In reference to the bumper, the installation and alignment was off. Now, when I lower my tailgate, it hits my license plate. Which, as a result has caused a chip in my pain on my tailgate. The left middle sensor was installed incorrectly. The lock cap for the spare tier is now faded with a thumbprint shaped marking. In addition the exhaust tips were sticking out past the bumper about 2.5 to 3 inches instead of being flush with the bumper. This was relatively an easy fix. Jessi did offer to readjust my exhaust tips, however I was upset that I informed Jessi that I would reposition them myself. Due to space limitation Please see yelp for the rest of the poo review. I have a lot more to say.

    Absolutely excellent facility, they did a great job on my vehicle, as well as in customer service and communications and all around helpfulness. I will certainly be going there again whenever I need more collision work.

    My Subaru was victim to a hit and run, the back bumper was damaged and I brought it here because it was recommended by Allstate and it was close to my house. Mike and everyone on the team here was great. They updated me on my car throughout the process, had it done earlier than expected, washed, and cleaned the inside of my car. Honestly wouldnā€™t take my car anywhere else for any collision/glass damage.

    I never thought I would be raving about a collision repair shop. Satisfied ā€” perhaps ā€” but not minding a repair because a shop was so great sort of shocks me. Melissa was so friendly on the phone, that I was curious to meet her. She was just as sweet in person, as was the other woman working at the front. I learned that the building Gerber is in, was an airport used for Civil Defense during WW II. Who knew I lived around the corner from such a cool historical building! Mike, the manager, gave me such a thorough overview of what to expect with my vehicle repair. What a great crew. I highly recommend this facility.

    Absolutely a great place to take your vehicle. If youā€™re like me, then your vehicle is your baby and you want someone you can trust to take care of it. Gerber is that someone. Outstanding job on restoring my vehicle to the way it was and keeping me updated every step of the way. I normally donā€™t post reviews unless I really dislike a company or really like them, so 2 thumbs up for Gerber

    Ive become pretty weary of collision shops in general and because of that, I was honestly taken aback at how kind and communicative the people at Gerber are. Everything was taken care of with ease and the whole process was completely painless. I highly recommend this location for any of your collision needs.

  • 5/5 Josh G. 5 years ago on Google
    100% recommend this collision shop for all your auto repair needs. Eric really helped me out with a few paint touch ups, saved me quite a bit of money where Iā€™m sure other business wouldnā€™t have. All the staff here were inviting, kind, and didnā€™t beat around the bush. If you need repairs done right the first time, come to Gerber Collision. I wouldnā€™t hesitate to come here in the future! Thanks Again!!!

    Excellent service! Mike was wonderful and very helpful. He worked with me and got the paint on my car blended just right and removed an ugly faded pin stripe added on by the previous owner of the vehicle even when my warranty refused to pay for the job to be done properly. They were also very efficient and didnā€™t make me wait forever to get my car back.

    Very professional. They tested me as though I was their most important customer. The process was smooth and they kept me informed of progress every step of the way.

    Clear signage when arriving facilitating ease in placing my car in the correct spot for appraisal. Pleasant and welcoming employees checked me in and completed the appraisal before I could send my 2nd email (I took my laptop so that could work). Efficiently communicated with both my insurance company and the rental car company and scheduled my appointment for repair. LOVE it! Highly recommend!

    The staff at the Farmington Hills Gerber Collision were lifesavers! I had to replace the license plate on my Dodge Journey, and the bolts/screws holding the license plate in place werenā€™t coming off. We went to an auto repair shop first and they couldnā€™t get it off. They recommended that we go up to Gerber. Thankfully the staff was able to help us out immediately and were able to get the bolts/screws off, and then put on my new license plate (and plate frame) with new screws. Everyone there was extremely helpful and saved the day! Thank you again!
