Great place to bring your car for any repairs - staff is great and efficient! Thank you to everyone and Katie! Great service!

December 8, 2024

Car was repaired there and will never return for anything ever again. Roof damage was fix there on a fairly new car. They returned the car fixed but did not completely attach both sun visors, seat belt or side airbags. All of this equipment popped out while driving home. Did a U-turn came back and no one would be able to touch the car until Monday. They probably out source this work. On Monday the was taken in for an additional day and all the wacky stuff was fixed. Will never return and I do not recommend this shop to anyone. If those airbags had gone off we could have been hit in the face pretty hard. Lastly they left smudges all on the roof’s interior…I noticed it but my wife hasn’t yet. It’s her car and right now I just don’t wanna hear any more yelling about how much she strongly dislikes this place.

I had a deer collision around 5am, once the insurance and tow was all taken care of I arrived at Gerber around 7:30am. Tom opened up a little bit early so I could wait inside, and contacted Enterprise for me to get the rental process started due to the early hour. They kept in touch with updates on my car at each step of the repair process, finished ahead of the projected completion date, and detailed my car. Great experience all around, I didn't have to worry about anything.

***Very deceitful and illegal practices to obtain business. I DO NOT recommend working with this company.*** I dropped of my vehicle on a Sunday evening (completely drivable and safe) they called the following day with instructions to be at their shop after work and fill out authorization form to begin work. I arrive with the front end already removed with headlight missing! Meanwhile I had never signed any authorization to begin work and would have not made the repairs through them based on turnaround alone. They [KNOWINGLY] made that impossible by removing the front end before my arrival. Their manager assured it would be done before 2 weeks. Yet at that point there was nothing I could do. Now their eta is nearly 3 weeks out. 0/10

Although my car wasn’t able to be repaired I’m super glad I chose gerber! The insurance quoted a new bumper and fender for under $2k. A lazy shop would slap it on and let me walk but they uncovered frame and radiator damage when it was removed and had to total it but it’s the best thing for my family. Also very understanding when we had to unload it. Although it was parked in a tree and not startable 😆 oh and this Honda odyssey took a shot and my son was safe when a lady blew a red light into him to him turning. Airbags deployed in her car only. She was issued a ticket. He was safe.

They’re working on my Mazda 3, putting a new bummer/lip in. They’ve been very efficient and professional. I’ve been to Cole’s Collision & Gerber is just as good if not better so far. Guy working the front desk (bad w/ names) is such a great dude to work with. I have faith in these technicians, they usually make the final product look like factory from Japan or wherever your car was built. I actually bought this car in Syracuse at a Gerber dealership, not sure if they’re the same company as this body shop but I’ve been in the capital region all 23 years of my life and I’ve never had a more pleasant experience as a car guy. Thank you❤️

This was my first time using this company through my insurance. Quick schedule through the insurance. Communication and phone calls updated for my vehicle was wonderful. My vehicle was done a week before due date since parts was available and others came on time. Both people we spoke too was wonderful.

Went in for a new bumper from a low speed accident because someone backed into me in a parking lot. Left with $1200 in damage making the car dangerous to drive, and they wouldn t own up to any of it. Crazy how I can DRIVE a car there but need it TOWED out . but it wasn t them who did it. Funny how that works. Absolute scammers.

I brought my truck in for insurance work. (Bumper, tailgate, fender damage) I use this truck for work and planned for not having it for the 12 days they said it would take. I received 2 texts, both saying on schedule for completion on the date I was told. No texts for final week and on the day I am supposed to pick it up, I call and check and I am told it won t be ready. Now I have to go another 3 days without it because it s a Friday and I had scheduled work for Saturday. Now I still receive no call on the following Monday(today) so I go there just before they close and they are just finishing it up. Work looks ok and I didn t mention any names because I don t know who is to blame. I wouldn t never use this place again, too bad it was recommended by my insurance. Also, they have a BBB accredited sign up in their office and they aren t even accredited. Hope their work is better than their service. I was also told I might get a cost reduction because of the screw up. I needed the truck before management made their decision.

So a follow up...Owner wrote that marketing manager has been trying to get a hold of me...They DO have a good number and have NOTleft any message, so this is complete nonsense...As I read back on these reviews you can see they are full of apologies, but no action ever taken.

I had written a review detailing our experience with Ballston Lake Gerber collision. They made some mistakes and communication started off poor but soon got better after I had said something. I am an honest reviewer and I want to give credit where it is due. Every error they made was fixed in a timely manner. Once Josh was involved things were made right and we were taken care of. They even went above and beyond and detailed our car to make up for their mistakes. In conclusion, I would recommend Gerber with the exception to be as involved as you can, and to go over the car well after it is done. Which is sound advice in any situation. Thank you to Josh and the team at Ballston Lake Gerber for making things right.

It took about a dozen calls and about 4 months to get Gerber to communicate with my insurance company and get the approval process going. As far as I can tell the quality of workmanship was good, so happy with that. Just no customer service and no follow through. The insurance company was through Carvana. Stay away from Carvana, unless you want to spend the rest of your life being put on hold for hours.

Went there to get repairs done do to an no fault accident and while I was there I tried to get an estimate on the rest of my vehicle. Was shocked to find out if the seeca spot of rust they wont bother fixing it and basically wont touch your vehicle. Needless to say I took my buisness elsewhere.

Never called and still no vehicle

Paint job on a carvana insurance claim came out nice, of course they skipped one spot because it wasn t on estimate. Not giving 5 stars because David The estimator needs work on his customer service skills. Truck was supposed to be ready Friday and wasnt, called Monday and they said before close, called again before closing and he said Tuesday. Tuesday came and went and I emailed David, he told me truck has been ready since 10 am but hes waiting on payment from insurance before hell release my car . Sure I ll pay another rental day. I contacted insurance and they said he needed to resubmit paperwork. Told David this and he said i did what I had to on my end, Ill call you when its released. I asked why I haven t received any updates he told me I gave him the wrong phone number. I always forget the phone number I ve had for 20 years. Guy needs a customer service class. Didnt even come out of his office when I picked up truck to do a walk around.

I tried using their online scheduler and got an email back several days later stating that the times and dates I requested weren t available. I emailed them back asking if they could tell me a date and time and no one ever got back to me so I called and left a message and no one called me back. I guess they don t care about my business

I have used them in the past when they were still Elmos with exceptional service, after changing to Gerber I will never use them again. The only reason Im giving 2 stars is because the repair work is good. The reason for ONLY giving 2 stars and never using them again is because the customer service is almost nonexistent. My vehicle needed some extensive front end work. I did not receive any phone call updates or see any updates online of the progress. I tried calling twice and left messages to see when my vehicle would be ready. I did not receive a call back and eventually had a family member go in person to see what was up since they lived closer to the repair location. One of the replacement fog lights in my bumper had an internal failure a few days after picking my vehicle up. Being a professional electrician, I checked for the obvious loose connections and voltage, and determined it was a defective unit from the factory and not installation. I went back and told them the issue, they said they would send out for a replacement. After 3 weeks I called and asked if it came in, the person said Im surprised no one has called you. We need to send back the defective unit for them to send a replacement. Another 4 weeks have gone by without hearing anything. I call again to check in and Im told the company sent the fog light to our corporate location in Illinois and we should be receiving it next week and they would call me when it arrived. My guess is they never ordered it and hoped I would forget since this falls under warranty work that Im not paying for. Why would the company send the replacement to a different location from where the defective unit came from? Also, if it supposedly did go to their offices, it wouldnt take a month to ship it to the correct location. After replacing it, I noticed the fog lights werent aimed correctly. As I first stated, I will not be using this company again. The body work seems good, the customer service was pretty much non-existent for me, and they did a hack job on the warranty work.

My car was accidentally damaged while in the parking lot of a repair shop. Colleen and the Carubba Collision staff worked with my repair shop to get me in fast, arranged for a rental car, and got the job done in only a few days. Best of all was the fantastic work they did on the damage and the bonus interior and exterior detailing. They were wonderful to work with and while hopefully I will not need new collision work done in the future, if I do I will absolutely go back to Carubba Collision.
