Gerber Collision & Glass

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the glass recycling bin outside Gerber Collision & Glass. Among broken windshields and cracked headlights lay an old, dusty vinyl record. Curious, he picked it up—it was none other than ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ by The Beatles. Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that every time someone dropped off their car for repairs, they left behind some random item—a CD of classical music here, an old cassette tape there. Soon enough, Gerber Collision & Glass became known not just for fixing cars but also for hosting occasional impromptu concerts from these found treasures. A neighborhood legend grew around the place: if you ever needed your car fixed, bring along your favorite album—you might get more than just a repaired windshield out of it.

2. One day, while waiting for his car to be fixed, a regular heard an unusual announcement over the shop’s intercom: ‘Attention please—we’ve found a vintage license plate from the ’50s in our windshield chip repair area. If it belongs to you, come claim it!’ Soon enough, another customer—a delivery driver—walked up and said, ‘That’s mine!’ Turns out he’d been searching everywhere for that old plate since his grandmother had given it to him. The whole place erupted in laughter when they realized the plate was actually from a completely different car, but everyone agreed it was fate that brought them together. Now, whenever someone mentions Gerber Collision & Glass, people joke about the legendary lost-and-found license plates.

3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gerber Collision & Glass with a load of packages. As he unloaded, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing out of place—just rows of empty seats and quiet machinery. Suddenly, he noticed an old clock on the wall tick-tocking in time with the whispers. Startled, he jumped back into his truck and drove off quickly. The next day, when he returned, everything seemed normal again. Turns out it was just an old ghostly radio left behind by a neighbor who loved talk shows.

4. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Gerber Collision & Glass with a truck full of boxes. As he approached the door, he noticed a sign taped to the window: ‘If your car is fixed before midnight, you get a free coffee!’ Curious, he parked and went inside—only to find no one there except for a lone espresso machine humming softly. The delivery driver shrugged, poured himself a cup, and settled into an old leather chair. After a while, a familiar voice crackled over the intercom: 'Hey, you're still here? We close at five!' The shop owner appeared, rubbing sleepy eyes. It turned out that every day, after fixing cars until dawn, he’d brew just one last coffee for whoever stayed late.'
