Are salvage cars even worth it? Light frame repair vs smashed lemon.

Welcome to 23rd Garage in todays video we show you why its a bad idea to buy a wrecked car sight unseen, and we do a light frame repair for dad. Are salvage cars even worth buying? Only if you know someone who can fix them for a good price, lucky for Vlad after buying a smashed Honda Accord he was able to enlist my help. The parts will arrive for the Honda soon and we will get that thing done. The Nissan Altima had very minor frame damage, about the same as the Honda Accord that we did a few days ago. Hope you all enjoy the video and i will see you in the next one.

Yuri do not explain yourself you do great work the more your channel grows the more haters you are going to have you can't give in to them you have to overlook them you're doing an awesome job bro

[@_Merica_USA]

100%

[@M1LAD81]

Maybe invest in a two axis laser with auto levelling. It might help you a lot when trying to determine if something needs to be pulled up or down. They're not that expensive either. Good work as always Yuri. Top guy.

[@FLA30561]

You're pops sound like my pops when I used to work with him. I would always want to order new parts. He tell me " I'm looking for a bargain not to go bankrupt". I get it 100% there's no easy just order parts lol.

[@victex80]

brother! dont bother about one comment, these are obviously people that looked in theyr mirror and didnt like what they saw. keep up your awesome work going, really enjoy your content.

[@elusiveone9456]

When you have more views than subscribers, you know you're doing something great😎😎😏😏

[@kltpep]

Dude like how you explain in detail all your steps. Most car videos are about blah blah blah. Yours gives helpful tips to us out there....Keep up the good work and EXPLAINING....

[@chrisboroff3546]

You're worth way more than $50 100 dollars at the least to have you go down there and look at a car don't ever downplay or quality. I do that to myself all the time with irrigations here in Florida I'm a 35-year-old man and sometimes life goes so quick you forget. Your work in my opinion is TOP NOTCH. for someone to have one of y'all go look at a vehicle at auction y'all should at least make $100 to 200. I charge just to do one irrigation head $100 if it's broken and I have to replace whatever type of pop-up,rotors, dripline whatever it is it only takes me like 10min. To 30min. What I'm saying people are paying for your experience y'all are all a bunch of really good young men and you're not bums y'all have a good New Year Florida man out

[@markandrews7043]

Yuri "what up bro" well done my friend. Love your positive attitude, keep up doing what you do. You guys rock. Shaba

[@iskandarhadi]

buffing the frame machine, LOL! i'm dying 😂

[@questioningthoughts2152]

I wouldn't worry at all what the youtube trills say when it comes to their beliefs, how ever, I do appreciate the greater details you've shown in this episode. Thanks for making great content.

[@Ag-kt3je]

Congratz on the baby,Vlad!

[@bobmanzi7712]

Don't even mention those haters you have more talent in your little finger than most people have in their whole body. I have seen some of your fabrication work it is amazing keep up the good work and the good content. Look forward to every video

[@sleepysamk1400]

Nice to know you guys are honest ppl with a conscience 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍👍👍

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

2000 Toyota Avalon XLS with 50K miles in perfect condition recently rear ended and totaled by insurance with $5K damage. State Farm only paid $3500 for salvage. I had it repaired at a shop that always does perfect work. No frame damage but substantial rear body work and parts. Car looks and drives brand new. Where could I have got a replacement for $3500? Kicking in $1500 to keep my mom and dad's car, may they RIP, was worth it to me.

[@dizk5283]

You did the right thing. That Avalon will last you a very long time.

[@Richie-C]

Love watching the frame work as that is where the skill is

[@martind701]

Love your honesty and sticking with unfailing integrity. Keep plugging away.

[@paulgunter1538]

Love the honesty Yuri, ignore the haters. Keep doing what you are doing.

[@robertheine9723]

Yuri and Nate, another great and imformative video. Thanks for the great content. Yuri I can relate to your suttle sarcasm. I find it humorous.I can't get mine across to my friends and familly as humor. They think I'm just being a ass!

[@heathermaya3633]

I'm so glad someone is taking about the pitfalls of purchasing a vehicle sight unseen. Getting stuck with that car that can't be saved happens more often than people realize. Solid advice Yuriy 👍

[@wookiewookster1214]

Great content, love the detailed explanations of the frame work 💪🏻

[@jamesrhodes6462]

And that’s why I subscribed and told other people to subscribe as well. that this guy is Legit. Love to see Family First Mentality.

[@chadriddle3517]

YURI, yalls channel is great keep it up guys ! Y’all growing quick. That’s a good offer to have y’all do a prepurchase quick inspection.

[@chespimorales4881]

People always have to say something stupid.keep up the good work.

[@ScuuBdoo]

These frame repair videos are brilliant. Took me 2 years to find a bodyshop willing to replace a frame rail on one of my cars. The answer I got from the dozen or so places was "nah its not worth our time, no money to be made doing that". I could never understand this response because I wasn't asking for a discount or a special price. I was willing to pay whatever it took to repair it. But it was explained to me that in the time it takes to do a complete frame rail replacement they could have 2 or 3 easy and more profitable insurance jobs done.

[@alanpaulick7815]

Good times Yuri and Nat thanks for your video 👍

[@freddythefrog70]

Yuri....the condensation from your breath might have corroded the frame machine? Get some rust preventer on it ASAP! Great vlog matey!

[@kenbrogno9018]

Yeah, awesome stuff. That's all of you guys. Glad to see how professional yet light hearted you guys are.

[@sk07eclipse]

Watching from Hartford Connecticut dope content guys

[@tomswindler64]

I like the way you try to explain the problem and show how you will fix it,good tutorial keep it up and do what you gotta do.👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@DavidJones-tf8fh]

Good job from start to finish keep up the good work . Happy New year to all at your dad's garage from myself Davy from belfast northern Ireland peace

[@waynehoward1663]

“I want the Austin” Is that a 401 in the background. Now I know where he’s sourcing his parts from 😂

[@thomasstudio7130]

Good content, nice side stories, good descriptions and good humour to lighten the mood. Nathan needs more walk on parts bring on the young talent.

[@imfloridano5448]

That pull up in the red truck was smooth bruther 👍. Your family are gud people, you all help so many who may not have deep pockets. Keep up the gud work

[@SomeJuanPlay]

Huge fan! You guys are Killin it

[@tonybyfield2173]

Hey Yuri, it's fantastic that you are helping Ben out, the content on your channel is great. I remember watching Vin helping the Goonzquad boys out on the framing machine and I'm fascinated by the work you do. Keep up the great work and content mate. Cheers from Perth, Western Australia.

[@MrHuismeester]

Love the framework and you are explaining a lot to me over things did not even thougt about it ! And Nathan is a very good cameraman and editor, loved this video !!!

[@darrenabram5926]

Found you yesterday and I've been going through your other videos. I'm in the UK and buy a few damaged cars for myself. We struggle over here with people to do heavy damage. A lot of places aren't interested in heavy damage cars to repair. Keep up the good work I've liked and subscribed

[@OnkelPHMagee]

22:15 I got a chuckle on how your dad does things, umm, differently. It reminded me of my own late dad; his way of doing things only made sense to him.

[@Richie-C]

So did I, dads will be dads, love them while they are with you, I know it can be hard to do at times 😃

[@mcbobly]

Another great video and yes, you don’t want to ever buy a car , especially at an auction, sight unseen. You never know what you’re getting but the Honda can be done obviously but is going to be a lot of work. Great job and don’t sweat the haters.

[@drowsyy7238]

i like your attitude towards the mountain of work you get man. Shows your passion for cars and repairing. Best of luck !

[@danhooper8652]

Do not take me wrong, I don't want to knit pick your work. As a self taught frame guy myself, I guarantee you that it makes your job tons easier to invest in a true tram system and make sure your frame table it level with the earth. That way when you clamp down a car and can measure your pinch rails against the deck. You are assured that the vehicle is level with the earth. Then the tram has a bubble level built into it. You can check square and level at the same time from side to side. It saves you so much time and 2nd guessing.

[@bryduhbikeguy]

11.9K already.You guys have earned allot more than that,and they'll be here.Great tips,and a few laughs too.

[@rk22cc]

[@Demy26]

Love that you have integrity.

[@Richie-C]

I watch all your channels. Great wit, don’t go too hard on Nathan😂😂

[@alliho2243]

Bro, I like your new year's resolution lol. Your haters probably never seen a frame machine. You guys do awesome job, just please buff out of those swirl marks on the frame machine created by your microfiber cloth.

[@chrislewis7340]

Love watching y’all work. Another fantastic job!

[@markdolman4954]

Another great show nothing more to say 👍😀

[@kidd1072]

In this time that we're now living in parts are hard to find! Give pops a break, he's doing the best he can!🤣🤣

[@v8motors.]

You should get yourself a green laser they are self levelling and project horizontal and vertical lines great for lining up the front and centre of hood etc.

[@DonnieWon]

yuri spittin knowledge. 💪💪💪

[@jamiestrong7993]

Seems like he’s always trying to save a buck 🤣🤣 my old man is the exact same way. Always somehow turns out mint too.

[@carlgruver695]

You do just as good as your brother and dad but you can't always please everyone

[@cchrist58]

Great Vlog !! .................... Bless

[@eminye1]

Learning alot, great stuff.

[@windronner1]

Yuri it's hard to tell if you and your brother are a class act because of how you all put so much into the work. Or how you determine how to handle & plan out the work that displays what a class act, you and your brothers are!! Either way, you guys are truly pro's!!

[@blade000007]

i love your sense of humor, lol!

[@normangallant9879]

Interesting about salvage vehicle.And also keep up the good work

[@laautoworks]

I always use the frame rack itself for my measurements no need for all that special equipment when I got a tram gauge and a tape measure

Great content Yuri!

[@kevinklingner3098]

I wrecked my f150 in 2002 helping a black steer at night on the road. It wisted the whole chassis and wrecked the engine bay area. The cost of the repair was greater then scraping it.

[@kevinklingner3098]

Hurie your brother iis learning well too. Don't worry about the negative comments too much . You know well what your doing.

[@altonneese3315]

Love the content. I'd like to see some better lighting. 👍

[@gamerdanedk9803]

If you want a friendly advice from denmark yoy should get your self a cross laser mountet on the wall behind you then you would always have the centerline off the car , and i you have it be height adjusteable the you can get the heigt centerline off the framerails also . Sorry or any mispellings

[@jasonboys8880]

doing good boys keep it up good work

[@HenningJohansen]

Do they make special microfiber cloths for cleaning framing racks? Can't be too careful!

[@MrOldeastdallas]

He said, nah, we are going to charge him. LMAO

[@TommyAlanRaines]

With that first car, I would probably replace it as well.

[@BlackLung911]

At least it is not an i8 that has been hacked together. :)

[@rcuchi]

Great Job. Maybe you should use a Laser level is very good.

[@marc5460]
