A: I was rear ended at a red light by another driver, and had my repairs estimated at Gerber Collision to be $1,755.04. I was working through Liberty Mutual, the other driver's insurance company. The car was deemed repairable, so I put it in the shop to get fixed. 6 days later, I get a call from Liberty Mutual, saying the just talked to Gerber Collision, and they added a supplement of $3,589.44 bringing the total to an eye watering $5,344.48. This is a '96 Saturn involved in a fender bender that damaged the trunk, rear bumper, and the right and left rear fenders. So I go down to Gerber to find out what could possibly be that expensive from this minor accident. I am walked out to my car to look at damage that is under the body panels. The estimator shows me crumple damage to the underbody on the left side behind where the bumper was. The only problem is that is not where the vehicle was hit, and its clear from the photos there was no damage to that area. The other car went up over the rear bumper and into the trunk, and never struck the bumper itself, because she was on the gas when she hit me. I showed the estimator at Gerber the photos, showing CONCLUSIVELY that this damage was obviously from a previous owner who had the outer body fixed over it, and that it wasn't part of this accident. It certainly shouldn't be included in the cost to bring the vehicle back to the condition it was in prior to this recent fender bender. She had already submitted the information to the insurance company as if it was part of this collision repair, even though it clearly wasn't. Really, Ray Charles could see that it wasn't... It's that obvious. When I asked why obviously inaccurate information was sent to the insurance company, I get the reply "we write the damage we see." Now I am going through the mess of showing the insurance company that this damage was not part of this accident, all because the estimator at Gerber submitted old damage as new damage. Even with photos showing that area was absolutely free of any damage in this collision. If you have any sense, stay away from this shop. They are far from professional, and its just a headache waiting to happen.

A: Don't be fooled by the snazzy website. This shouldn't count as a mall. They have a few good stores (North Face, Anthropologie, L'Occitane and Macy's) but its very very slim pickings.

A: First night in Vegas and we were looking for something light to eat before hitting up the club. Nobu was booked, so we decided to try Sushi Roku. Reservations weren't hard to get and I had heard good things so it was a go. We decided to order a bunch of appetizers and small plates to share for four guys. One could't eat meat due to lent and I couldn't have carbs. Even with those restrictions we were successful in getting some tasty dishes. The Truffle Edamame was really tasteful, but you can't really go wrong when its sprinkled with truffle oil, yum! Shishito peppers were okay, I've had better (at Nobu, haha). Yellowtail Diced Chilies were really fresh and tasty. I good balance of flavors with a not too tangy sauce to compliment the delicate yellowtail flavore. The highlight of the show was teh Chilean Seabass Truffle Miso Glaze! Delicious. I have never met a Miso Glaze I did not like, but add truffle to it, and I was in heaven. Went perfect with the smooth like butter seabass (i kinda wish the black cod had the truffle miso glaze, but it was only described as Sweet Miso, so I passed). Other items we got were the Uni Tartlette (couldn't eat the pastry so just at the inside. Small, and flavor no so Uni-ish. The sweet shrimp (Amaebi) was really fresh and the fried shrimp heads with it were the perfect compliment, Fresh and Fried. We also got rolls, but i didn't partake because of the rice. All in all, Sushi Roku is pretty good. Flavors really stood and were well balanced. Service was excellent as to be expected. Price was a bit on the high end for what it was but that's normal for Vegas. I would come back (unless I have a reservation for Nobu).

A:
I had to get my fingerprints taken for a new job and I was dreading it becaues it was one thing on my long list of many. I arrived at around 9 am and was out of there in 10 minutes with what I needed. They were quick, efficient and friendly. I paid $18 for 2 sets of fingerprints. If you need fingerprints, I would recommend this place.
