About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, an old mechanic was working alone in Gerber Collision & Glass when he heard a strange humming sound coming from under the hood of a vintage car. Curious, he peered inside and found a tiny bluebird singing along with the engine's rhythm. The bird kept singing as if it knew exactly what it was doing, until suddenly the engine purred like never before. The old man smiled, thinking maybe that’s why they called it ‘songbird’—because its melody could fix anything. From then on, whenever someone brought their car to Gerber Collision & Glass, they’d hear soft chirping mixed with the hum of engines, making everyone believe that somewhere deep within those walls, a little blue helper was always watching over repairs.
2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Gerber Collision & Glass with a worried look on his face. ‘Hey, Joe,’ he called out, ‘I just delivered a package here, and now I can’t remember where!’ Joe smiled and shook his head. 'No worries,' he said. 'You left it right here—on my desk!' The delivery driver groaned in relief, while a nearby mechanic whispered to a colleague, 'Yep, that’s why they call him “Forgetful Fred.”'
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Gerber Collision & Glass with a mysterious package marked ‘Fragile.’ Curious mechanics poked their heads out from under cars just as the driver opened the box—revealing a life-sized cardboard cutout of Elvis Presley wearing a jumpsuit and dark glasses. The mechanics looked at each other, shrugged, and decided it was worth a try. They carefully placed Elvis in an empty bay and started working on his jumpsuit like any other job. Later that day, a neighbor came by for windshield replacement and asked if they could take a picture with the King. Everyone laughed, and word spread quickly around town.
4. One autumn night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gerber Collision & Glass with a crate of headlights so heavy he needed both hands. Suddenly, one of them rolled off and vanished into thin air. The next morning, a neighbor stopped by to ask if anyone had seen his new headlight. The crew just shrugged and went back to work, laughing softly among themselves. Ever since then, some say that Gerber’s glass department has an invisible helper who keeps things tidy after hours.
