Gerber Collision & Glass

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl pointed and giggled as she walked past Gerber Collision & Glass. The mechanics inside looked up curiously—nothing seemed out of place until they noticed the reflection in the shop’s big glass doors. There, smiling back at them, was a tiny version of their own logo, winking and twirling its little plastic antennae. A delivery driver stopped by later that day, scratching his head and asking if anyone had seen a small green alien with a broken antenna. One mechanic suggested he check under the hood of his truck—it might’ve taken shelter there during the night. Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just another prank by those pesky kids from across the street.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gerber Collision & Glass. The air was filled with an odd, sweet scent that lingered around the shop's entrance. Curious, he parked his truck and stepped out—only to see a large glass vase floating gently in front of him. The vase hovered for a moment before slowly descending into the open door of the workshop. Startled, the delivery driver looked around but saw no one. He shrugged it off as a prank or trick of the light, walked inside, and found the mechanic hard at work on another car. 'Did you see that?' he asked. The mechanic glanced up, smiled, and replied, ‘Oh yeah, that’s just our ghostly customer, Mr. Float-a-Vase.’

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Gerber Collision & Glass late one night. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd on the passenger seat—a small, neatly wrapped package labeled ‘For Mr. Fix-It’. The delivery driver picked it up curiously and knocked on the workshop door. Out came an old mechanic with a twinkle in his eye: 'Mr. Fix-It, indeed!' The package contained a fresh loaf of bread and a note saying, “Thanks for always fixing our cars—and our breakfasts!”

4. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, an old dog began appearing outside Gerber Collision & Glass. He’d sit patiently by the entrance, tail wagging, waiting for someone to notice him. No one knew where he came from or why he chose that spot. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a box of donuts. Thinking it was for him, he walked inside only to discover they were left for the mysterious dog. From then on, every morning, someone would leave something tasty for the canine visitor, and soon enough, even the grumpiest mechanic brought out his own treat. The legend grew that if you fed the dog, your car would always get fixed faster—and maybe even for free.
