Vern’s Collision has been a part of my life since I was born. It’s also been a part of the community’s life for more than 49 years. Vern’s Collision was started by my great-grandpa, Vern Herriman, and is now being continued on by my grandpa, Michael Herriman.
When you walk into the shop, you are greeted by my whole family—even my dog Zippy. Having a family business is not something you see much anymore, but I think it’s cool and I am very proud to be a part of it.
At the end of 2019, we were excited to learn that our business was a recipient of the Moving Flint Forward Small Business Grant Program. This has helped keep our doors open and has made Vern’s Collision a prettier and safer place. Because of the loss of revenue from COVID-19, without this grant, we would not have been able to afford fixing our exterior doors, which were damaged due to weather-related causes, and fixing our parking lot so that it’s easier for customers to get around.
