How Wrecked Cars Are Repaired | Cars Insider

This video was awesome and fun to watch! JC did an excellent job explaining everything

I wrecked my 2006 Jeep Commander, the front Passenger corner, can you fix it?

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

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.

I can’t get my e brake fixed. No thanks

People are told NOT TO.TEXT.BEHIND THE WHEEL AND THEY STILL DO

Not repaired covered up

Los vehículos americanos son de mantequilla

The single hardest job to do that brings the most permanent damage to the person doing the work!

Wish we had such a professional company in India .

Sorry but bondo is not a repair, its cosmetic.

Awesome video! So much good information. Thanks.

Once crumpled the structural integrity is gone. Might look nice after repairing but it will never be the same.

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

Bruhhh techs in china just cut out the panels and replace it....for alot less!!😂

Love to see people wearing PPE while painting and sanding... Nothing lame about protecting your lungs folks.

That PDR work is amazing 😮

I love this profession. Been doing it since 2013 and every car is a different journey. I love the art of collision repair

Only thing he did wrong is wear a respirator with a beard

Wow, so much appreciation for that worker.

Does surprise me that so many pickup trucks demand for this repair

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.

That is the biggest size of bondo i have seen applied to a car in one spot.

Bending parts back will never be the same, you want your car totaled so when its time to crash make sure you send it.

There are no more craftsman anymore. Wanting you car to be totaled is the new way.

What a great video, and a nice man narrating.

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!

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?

Unibody is bad

no way a car is safe to drive after being stretch like that. smh.

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.

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.

That guy could be a script writer

Can u drop all items u use to restore vehicles?

professional workmanship

That’s a shit load of bondo

That dent needed PDR, not to be sanded and welded with keys. Could have saved thousands and days in the shop with proper techniques.

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 *

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

They just never be the same once is crashed

i will use this tips

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.

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!.

This is dealer level repairs

Shoutout to BondoBilly

Id NEVER BUY A CAR/ Truck stuffed like that …. All you do is look underneath. Where the frame has its connecting points. They get a diamond point if crashed …. Pickups used for plowing under a ton. Get these diamond compression frame damage. Once Stuffed. Always stuffed ….
