This guy meets all of his customers by accident 😂 😂

Trouble is, most insurance companies REFUSE to pay for work of this quality because it's very expensive. It's an art. There are a ton of Frankenstein cars out there, repaired cheaply, lurking at dealer auctions.

Just love the closing comments... "knowing that you had a part in making this person's problem disappear." What a great work ethic, full kudos to you all!

The tools available to him compared to what I had when I started over 50 years ago are astounding.

My poor dad. Had a body shop in the 80’s. Technology like this would’ve made his life so much easier.

that is the CLEANEST collision shop I've ever seen !!!

Juan is truly a professional. His vocabulary through the video is very informative. Easy to follow. Definitely an asset to the company. Good job my brother

Those repairs are quite incredible! Many vehicles look "totaled" even though they are not. One would think they are destined for the junk yard when they can actually be restored. Great work and great video.

This is the best shop I’ve seen. I’ve been a mechanic for at least 25 years and about 90% of the body shops I had to deal with were a pain in the ass. This guy knows his stuff. I wish more shops were like that.

I know Juan very well. The only dude I would have and did ever touch my B7 RS4. Stand up dude and excellent at what he does.

Props to this guy he obviously loves his job and appreciates the art of restoring cars.

That is some cool machinery. I like seeing a craftsman who takes pride in his work.

Auto body repairmen are seriously slept on. They deserve the same hype as computer technicians

I would love to spend a week shadowing this guy! I bet you’ll learn more in 1 week than the average person would learn in a lifetime about automotive repairs

My grandpa had a workshop in the 80's and he didnt have this equipment. He would take a totaled car and make it look brand spanking new, I mean matching everything to milimeter without any measurment or cut 2 cars in half and weld them into one. So the moral of the story is that its not the tools that make you a professional, its your pure skill, creativitiy and precision. Kudos to the bodyshop worker for doing a good job btw.

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

Me watching how cars are repaired as I sit at my job where I repair cars

He talk so smooth about it, it makes you think "Maybe I will have a dent today." LOL 🤣🤣

I do recognize the great skill, thinking and tremendous patience needed to be able to take up this kind of work. Awesome work you’re doing Juan! Lots of respect to you for making lots of people happy for fixing their endeared vehicles.

Dude knows every aspect to auto body repair!! Great job and what a success you are 💯💯💯🎯🎯🕺🏻

Keep guessing why I got so many likes

Mad respect to the body repair guys, I'm a mechanic for the heavy equipment industry, so I'm responsible for fixing the guts of a vehicle. But I'm lost and without a clue on where to begin for any kind of body work. My hats off to you!

Mr Perez did an excellent job narrating this video. I'm somewhat familiar with old tech with manual pullers. These computerized systems that guide the pulling processes are amazing. Great video, I'm now a subscriber.

Juan Carlos is a great guy who has mastered his body repair skills. It's so gratifying to see how he has evolved from a detail technician at the Mercedes dealership in the early 2000s into the master craftsman he is today! That kind of ambition and drive is very rare in this day in time...... Way to go Juan 👏 👏 👏

Insurance probably would say that's a 2 hour dent on the quarter panel

Props for his clear explanations with the time given as well as editing.

These guys deserve massive respect. I hope they are paid well.

Absolutely outstanding explanation of the repair process shown in the video. Takes patience, time, hard work, thinking the required task to achieve the best result. Thank you. Sharing with my kids. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸😉👍🏻🚙🏎🚔🚘🚖👦🏼🛻👍🏻

I work for a company that supplies all of the materials that are required to do this job and let me say, seeing them do this type of job in person is incredible

They make it look so easy there’s a lot of hard work into it.

Bless these guys, i had a front end collision in my 2011 corvette with 30k miles and it had minor frame damage but needed a new hood, bumper, fender, and some mechanical and integrity parts like radiator,intake, crash bar, headlights etc and the repair bill was a whopping 17K and the car was valued at 30K, i still went through with it despite no insurance, they did an amazing job and its identical to how it was before the accident, luckily the engine and 3/4ths of the car was also untouched during the accident which is also why i couldn't bring myself to part it out over some front end damage. a year and a 1/2 later im so glad i ate the loss and did it because i love this car still to this day, wont ever text and drive again.

What an awesome profession and how beneficial it is as they save these vehicles from being wasted and help the economy to stabilize. Huge thanks for Hendrick Collision Center for their great craftmanship.

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.

The amount of precision needed on this job, I can only imagine words that you wouldn’t even fathom of existing are definitely shared in this environment .

Great video! The equipment he is using is state of the art! He's obviously a highly skilled body tech. We can't repair today's vehicles with yesterday's technology!

I have a whole new appreciation for these workers after these. Never knew such elaborate methods were used for repairs

This is what Professionalism looks like in a very well equipped and run repair facility! This is the exception! Most repair shops are the exact opposite of this in every way imaginable...

My mom forgot to put the car in park. Bought it brand new in 2019 and had less than 30,000 miles on it. Car was at a slight incline at my grandparents house. With no one in it It proceeded to roll off the driveway, straight down a rock embankment, nose into the ground and then keep on doing down the hill. Crashed through the barb wire fence at the bottom of the hill and kept going into the woods. Finally wedged itself to a tree that had fallen and another huge tree still standing. The oil pan and transmission pan had been torn off. The windshield cracked. The entire suspension was shot. The frame was damaged. The front end was just completely gone. And just overall it was a sad sad sight for our wonderful car. But, the insurance actually paid for it to be fixed completely at a shop like this. Final bill ended up being over $20,000. We had to pay $11. Yes, $11. Car drove better after the shop fixed it than it did before the accident. We were talking to the shop manager and he just busted out laughing when we told him what happened and the route the car took. He then thanked my mom for keeping his shop in business 😂😂.

After watching this. I'm thoroughly impressed with all these tools. I've never seen them before. This video was highly educational. Thank you for posting this. I have a new appreciation for the trade.

You can tell that guy is really good at his job. He has a very intelligent, experienced, competent look in his eyes as he checks the repair for perfect contour. I'd definitely trust him to fix my car!

Wish we had autobody shops like this in Oregon. Most shops here suck pretty bad. Most times I just take the insurance money rather than deal with our shops.

I rememeber when I used to work at a car body shop, and couple times I have had them bolts flying by my head like bullets to the detailing section where I was minding my work! It's good that he takes time to warn his workmates!

NOW I FINALLY UNDERSTAND WHY ITS SO DAM EXPENSIVE FOR REPAIRS. DAM

I could not stomach watching this video. A freaking deer ran into my 9 month old BMW M5 Comp and it still hurts my soul! I had my car fixed at a BMW certified collision center where I know they use OEM parts instead of 3rd party. Although, they did a nice job on the repair, I can see the paint/clear coat has a different texture than the original paint.

This is actually fascinating.

Excellent video. Clearly explained and demonstrated, giving more information in less time than any other KZfaq repair video I've seen.

I have used a Car-O- Liner it’s just about the best frame rack ever. This dude is doing good body work. It’s nice to see you get guys doing this work. Keep it up guys.

As a fellow body repair technician, love your work brother. Only “we” know just how challenging it is to bring a car back to its former glory. As many have commented, it truly is an art. Sadly, it’s an art that does not receive any praise nor the recognition it deserves. Here in Australia, you can get a job on a construction site as a labourer, without qualifications and earn twice what we earn. Totally unregulated industry run by cowboy collision repair owners at the mercy of insurance companies.

im pretty sure this is for cars that arent a total loss, total loss goes to auction where other people buy it in attempts to fix and sell/keep it

Absolutely incredible. My guess is this amount of work is done with higher end cars, I know from personal experience how costly body repair is.

I was a body shop helper years ago, I could do crappy work. This guy makes spreading Bondo look super easy. Wow so smooth!!!

This guy is definitely a professional.. The majority of shops I've dealt with are never at that level of cleanliness and professionalism.. Great tools and Software along with A great Tech makes a quality job.. Thumbs Up

This is one well made, informative, interesting, no nonsense, to the point video!

Almost none of the salvaged title cars are repaired this way. They are repaired by a guy named Slavik that repaired them in his residential 2 car garage with some hammers and a frame machine.

I have never seen a repair shop that actually does a good job.

Body shops are magic the people that work these jobs are incredible. My car had rust and some big dents I didn’t think the shop could fix. When I got my car back I was impressed they fixed everything it looked brand new again.

Very well presented AJ, a great ambassador for the company. Thanks for sharing. 👍😃

It’s wholesome knowing there’s a regular job out there that robots aren’t having anytime soon.

An amazing use of technology with the frame machine, computer measurements, and tolerance checking. Having the data from the car manufacturer is just like having a full service manual with a full set of schematics and test points.

There’s always something new to learn. I worked for cars collision. And retired now I miss keeping busy doing what I loved doong

“What can the best mechanic in LS do for you”

I work in body collision, Worked during the pandemic the entire time! - couldn’t believe people were still getting into wreaks when everyone was on lockdown. But nope, we’re not considered front line essential workers. Nope!

These men are magical……their work sometimes is never seen, it’s that good……bravo to all the body and paint professionals.

I loved his presentation and the way he described the whole process! Kudos man, you're a great spokesperson for Hendricks!

Ah, bondo...I started using that stuff back in the 60s and I'm sure it'll be around for many more years. This video is very informative, thank you 😎

He's passionate about his work, and professional. This was a cool video

Excellent video. l am glad I tuned in!

this guy is not only a skilled craftsman but an artist in his work!

Man, seeing that Widebody scat at 0:13 hurt my soul

My dad does this job :) he does it by himself in his own shop I helped him set up that frame machine to repair a front end collision on a Chery Chinese SUV that he ended up buying and I drive

Amazing how the technology has improved. Very informative and educational. Thanks for the video!

I wish this young man could take care of my car. I had a Nissan Maxima “turbo” or sport and tech pkg. I was in a collision requiring body and frame damage repair. Please send this guy a big thank you!

This dude is a artist! Repairs like these take some serious talent! Good job dude! Thanks for showing us how its done!

Bodywork and painting is such a great skill that sadly I’ve never been able to master

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

That was very informative. Juan Carlos knows his stuff. He was very well spoken and very easy to understand. Keep it up bud.

This is an art. I wish i had patience to do this type of work. It takes a real enthusiast with incredible passion to do this stuff!

The world needs more people like him

I genuinely love this guys passion and enthusiasm for his trade.

This and roofing is some of the hardest work on the planet. I commend these guys for doing what they do.

Your explanation is excellent thanks for posting

These guys r artists.... 👍👍👍🍻

WOW! Very impressive in dealing with these complicated repairs.

I am writing from Canada. Here autobody shops, all of them, overcharge and for a small damage they want to change the entire part. If I were in NC I would go to your shop. You guys are doing the work, you guys are craftsmen. I am sure your clients are satisfied with your work.

I wish the body shop where I work had this fancy equipment. Especially that computerized frame rack. We have to measure everything by hand

Auto body repair sure has come a long way. The amount of money that you would need to invest to have this kind of setup is mindblowing. That said, I am sure that it would make this type of work easier not to mention more profitable,

i’m about three semesters from getting my collision repair diploma. i’m wanting to specialize in painting and refinishing but we do have a little bit of training for everything

I'm a body tech and I love the work. I'm in the middle of a 70hr Tahoe job now for left quarter,rear body,inner quarter and fuel pocket and taillight pocket. You do have to have some intelligence for the work but it's something new all the time. The rack will scare the crap out of you when they fly off

It is fairly easy to tell the good shops from the butchers. Ask to see the shop if you don't know the company. If it looks like this shop with the proper equipment kept in good order, you have a better chance.

I was expecting the first 10 seconds would just show a junk yard. “This is what happens to wrecked vehicles.”

Cracking video, very well explained and the complexity of the work is unbelievable. Credit to you guys, fantastic stuff.

It’s a beautiful thing seeing people still passionate about their craft!

5:13 I thought my phone glitch for a second

Definitely a craft. Respect.

That's an interesting process on how damaged cars are repaired to like new conditions again. Such a cool thing to see 💯

wow. You could be a great instructor. Patience and full of knowledge and experience. I was impressed when I saw someone use a slide hammer and a flat rubber plunger on a dent in my car.

Honestly as much as I admire this man's shop and workmanship. I would never buy a car that's been in a collision. Insurance companies love lowest bidders and that tends to circle with questionable establishments.

Quite amazing how metal could be pulled back and reversed the damage so closely to original.

My friends collision shop has a man that is so good at his craft, that I call him the magician. He's had no official training, he just learned as he went along . Just a gifted young man. 🇨🇦

Never realized how technical this can be. Good work and good video.
