text: Want to know how to spell terrible body and paint work GERBER COLLISIONnMy wife was rear ended by a GEICO insured driver GEICO convinced us to leave our car at Gerber to be repaired It was going to be MUCH faster letting them do the work simple bumper repair then having another body shop get the car wait for the appraiser and then do the repairnWe left the car there BIG MISTAKEnThey called a few days later to say the car was done Imaging our surprise when we went to put something into the trunk and found a part they forgot to install It is a self stick protective vinyl shield for the top of the rear bumper that protects the bumper from damage while loadingunloading the trunknAfter some run around by the shop and GEICO we were told that the car had to be brought back for the part to be installed after days to let the paint curenIt would have been nice if they would have let us know before they handed us the keys and we found out for ourselves Communication is not a strong point for themnHome went the car with us only to have to be brought back in a monthnA few days later I finally got a chance to look at my wifes newly repaired and repainted bumper It seems as though when they removed the stickon protective strip to repaint the bumper that is the replacement part they could not install their shop person used either a screwdriver or putty knife to remove it because now the top of the bumper has scars on it from the obviously untrained mechanic Add to that a piece of tape they left on AND painted over I am still trying to figure out how they could have painted the bumper and not see all the scars and the left over piece of tape I guess their painter just sprays over whatever they give himnThe car was returned to Gerber a nd time to repair the damage they did and to again repaint the bumpernWhen we came to get the car a few days later Instead of actually repairing the damage the only thing they did was to install the vinyl piece they could not put on the st time and try to cover up the additional damage Besides the gouges showing right through they actually installed this part in the wrong place and left air bubbles in itnThey offered to do the repairs again but there was no way these butchers were ever going to get their hands on my car againnThey have since paid for another body shop to redo all their poor work and also paid for a rental car nHorrible horrible horrible
