How Wrecked Cars Are Repaired | Cars Insider
Love to see people wearing PPE while painting and sanding… Nothing lame about protecting your lungs folks.
Yield strength has left the chat
How do they repair them? Simple. First they reverse time to before the accident. Then they quickly cover the automobile in big marshmallows. Then they forward time to the present. Having escaped the accident unscathed, thanks to the marshmallows, the automobile looks just like before. Easy peasy.
Wish we had such a professional company in India .
I wrecked my 2006 Jeep Commander, the front Passenger corner, can you fix it?
That guy could be a script writer
They just never be the same once is crashed
no way a car is safe to drive after being stretch like that. smh.
The single hardest job to do that brings the most permanent damage to the person doing the work!
I can’t get my e brake fixed. No thanks
I’m in awe of these folks. When I was a younger man, I really wanted to get into this field. My career when a different way, but would still love to have these skills.
That dent needed PDR, not to be sanded and welded with keys. Could have saved thousands and days in the shop with proper techniques.
👍🏼🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️
what is that tool used at 0:42?
Wow, so much appreciation for that worker.
That’s a shit load of bondo
Once crumpled the structural integrity is gone. Might look nice after repairing but it will never be the same.
Sorry but bondo is not a repair, its cosmetic.
That PDR work is amazing 😮
Only thing he did wrong is wear a respirator with a beard
What a great video, and a nice man narrating.
I love this profession. Been doing it since 2013 and every car is a different journey. I love the art of collision repair
It’s impressive what he’s able to do, although I’m guessing this shop has much higher tech equipment than your average scratch and dent shop. Anything structural, I’m getting rid of the car. It’s like a bike helmet, it’ll keep your head safe the first time, but it’s trash after that. That’s why we need the services that report salvage jobs and other repair work and sketchy shops that don’t accurately report that info need the hammer brought down on them.
This video was awesome and fun to watch! JC did an excellent job explaining everything
a. Cannot believe how many cars are on the road driving around with body damage on them. Some pretty severe as if the wind is about to rip parts off.
b. Once bought a car from a family member in the 80’s who had a pretty severe front-end collision that resulted in a bent frame which he had straightened. Found it odd although the car acted fine at most speeds and the tire wear was normal, the car exhibited a noticeable left-to-right shake when decelerating through the 20mph zone. Weird.
That and they never replaced the proportioning value that controls how much brake fluid pressure was sent to the front and rear brakes, so under hard-braking the car would always lock up the rear brakes first. Oh, well, guess that’s how one learns.
Bruhhh techs in china just cut out the panels and replace it….for alot less!!😂
This is dealer level repairs
If this is Hendricks body shop in concorde nc I delivered cars to this place that is the cleanest shop I have ever been in
Having this all done on your own car is cool and all. But I feel bad for the poor schmuck who ends up buying a used car with any of this done. Don’t be that guy!
Bending parts back will never be the same, you want your car totaled so when its time to crash make sure you send it.
Can u drop all items u use to restore vehicles?
but how do you repair parts which are ripped? i mean, torn? do you just patch it up? or totally replace that part? for instance, a bumper but an area is torn or ripped? sliced,… i mean, how do you do it?
Not repaired covered up
People are told NOT TO.TEXT.BEHIND THE WHEEL AND THEY STILL DO
There are no more craftsman anymore. Wanting you car to be totaled is the new way.
they buy the cheapest aftermarket parts they can find, do no paint prep, paint crooked lines, and then can’t get it to fit right. then they don’t do the alignment they were supposed to. and then the rental CX-5 overheats. oh, that was just me and my poor WRX. * cry *
Unibody is bad
Awesome video! So much good information. Thanks.
That is the biggest size of bondo i have seen applied to a car in one spot.
Fascinating
Does surprise me that so many pickup trucks demand for this repair
professional workmanship
The guy talking sounds like he is reading a script.
Really pleasure to watch, but never buy it again after a frame damage car is never the same no matter how perfect it looks.
While these vehicles look fine on the outside, they are still absolute death traps. Straightening a crumble zone does not mean it is capable of taking another hit
i will use this tips
this might be 1 out 1000 guys that could actually explain what he is doing. Trust me this isn’t what happens in most shops lol
Never buy a car that has been wrecked or totalled out Cars are not meant to be repaired in this manner. Once structural damage occures to a cars frame the strenght and durability and integrity is compromised. It will not be able to withstand a direct hit in the same spot as when it originally rolls off the manufacturers assembly line. Bottom Line NOT SAFE.
Los vehículos americanos son de mantequilla
It will be much easier if you just did cars in plastic panels that way if a panel is damaged it can simply pop off and replace that panel duh!.
