    License Plate black platform look aligned or is the bumper uneven?
    Mina H.

    Recently got into a fender bender with my SUV in late May. So I came back to this place based on the great service I had received previously. Back then, they had been on preferred lists with various Insurance vendors, including State Farm, my carrier, so I came back. Service had been excellent... until now. It sees odd to me that they were no longer preferred but they said it was because they didn't use aftermarket parts as required by State Farm. SF denied this was the reason... more as to the fact that BBA like to charge more than reasonable avg rates... paraphrasing what the rep said but thats usually the case, aka price gouge. I didn't want to believe it, but after trusting then to get direct payments vs my review of work before payout, I should have not. I got shoddy work and coincidentally they decided to no longer follow up on the promises to finish fixing my complaint items right after they got the final installment from State Farm 2 days ago. AGREEING ABOUT Promising to fix my LIST UNTIL State Farm sent the final payment totalling 17K. I should have stopped it. Promises to fix by Jackie. Sign-off that if was completed. NONE completed. Consistent fails by Sam (forgot a trim piece, didn't know that intake vent can cause issues when I asked about it with concerns on acceleration) Issues: misalignment of hood and trim and set of headlights in gasket, battery warning fails at ignition (never happened before), weird tone of backup warning beep, crooked bumper (look at front plate holder)... response by Sam "your talking about millimeters... we did the best we could, find another body shop"... duh. This place is now poop. Trust the Insurance carrier... Note... they kept my car sitting there for 2 weeks while I burned thru rental allocation because they didn't order parts while arguing with State Farm about their charges.

    Joe was extremely helpful with determining when I could drop the car off and how long the repairs would take.

    Will be making a review of the palatine location too because both spits were involved in my claim,…read morebut such happiness when I got my car. Everything was working that had to do with my accident, the knocking noise was still there but I was told it wasn't due to the accident. Instead of charging me out of pocket to fix it, he told me I could do it myself and save money. Goes to show that they aren't out to get you, but out to really help. Will always take my car here for the things I can not do myself. Thank you boys ! (Chrysler 200) Side note: I had less gas then when I took it in, but probably due to taking it to and from palatine. Also, I was told my car would be cleaned and it wasn't. Not a big deal, happy overall !

    DO NOT TRUST THEIR WORK!!! This review is long over due. I was in an accident in October of 25 and…read moreat the suggestion brought my car to Gerber for the repairs. I chose the highest rated Gerber in my area even if it wasn't the closest. Only to receive a call a day after drop off that my car was being taken 45 minutes away cause they actually were too busy to work on my car. So it was brought to a lower rated shop without my consent. Multiple times I was told my car would be ready in a specific day and received NO notice that it was delayed. I got out of work early for pick up and arranged rides with friends. Only to find out my car wasn't even ready. When it was done 3 weeks later they drove (not towed) it back to the WRONG Gerber. So I then had to drive to a third Gerber for pick up. After pick up I took my car to be looked and elsewhere and was told I had severe bad alignment in my front tires -interestingly enough the same part of my car that was hit. I called Gerber to ask if they checked my alignment I was told they couldn't legally tell me, a separate time I was told u can't mess up ur alignment in an accident, I was told they would have someone call me back. I called 4 times and was never given an answer as to the repair. Finally in December tow months after my accident I was called to get my alignment fixed. Only to find out the only place I could go was 50 minutes from my home. Then after my appointment they called saying I owed 500$!!! They had lost my original payment for my deductible. They corrected the situation and offered to try and refund me for my deductible cause of my troubles and to look at my car again. I called after the holidays to go through with the process and never heard back. Now I've had to pay to get my car checked out elsewhere and can't trust my original repairs there. Also found it strange that ok pickup my car magically had a small crack in the windshield after being worked on by a glass shop...
