About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dead of night, when most garages were dark and quiet, Gerber Collision & Glass came alive with an unexpected sound—a gentle humming from the empty lot next door. A regular passing by noticed it first, thinking perhaps it was just an old refrigerator being hauled away. But every morning, without fail, that hum grew louder. Finally, someone asked around, and it turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally left his drone overnight. It kept flying back to the same spot, drawn by the familiar scent of freshly painted cars. The humming stopped as soon as they reclaimed their tech-savvy colleague’s toy.

2. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gerber Collision & Glass. The garage door opened automatically, but no one emerged from inside. Confused, he glanced around and saw a sign taped to the glass: ‘Closed for repairs, please leave your car here.’ The next morning, when the mechanic arrived, he found the garage empty except for a note on the counter: 'Sorry for the inconvenience! Your car is fixed—come pick it up.' Below was a smiley face drawn in marker.

3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Gerber Collision with a crate of donuts for the staff. As he walked in, he noticed something odd on the counter—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Inside, an old mechanic smiled and said, 'Help yourself!' The delivery driver took one, bit into it, and immediately spat it out—‘These are from last year!’ Just then, his colleague popped her head around the corner and yelled, ‘Hey, those ARE last year’s samples!’ They both burst out laughing, realizing they’d been had by Gerber’s quirky tradition.

4. At dawn, when the streets around Gerber Collision & Glass were still sleeping, a delivery driver pulled up with a crate marked ‘Top Secret’. Nobody ever saw what happened inside. The next morning, as employees unpacked crates, they found only coffee and donuts inside—clearly someone’s idea of a prank. A regular from down the street laughed, saying, ‘Guess who finally got Gerber Collision & Glass to shut up early?’
