Paul, I've been a petrol head all my life. A bit long in the tooth now to ever contemplate doing what you and similar others do. However, I get a great deal of satisfaction watching you, loved this video, very informative. I sincerely hope the channel goes from strength to strength . Keep them coming.

Hi Paul there was once a man that had 5 wheel barrows to sell and he tried everything but couldn’t get a sale, so eventually realized he needed to change his approach. He advertised just 1 saying last 1 on offer at this special price and his first customers appeared thinking it was a special bargain so he repeated this 4 more times. Salvage yards and car breakers are like this that’s why parts are so expensive, the moral of this story- Im glad that I sold my 5 wheel barrows a few weeks ago 😂 Thanks

[@CarsForPaul]

nice one 😀👍

Thanks Chris

[@Carl8324]

Great video Paul. For Audi’s the MyAudi app gives you the spec of the vehicle by putting the VIN in. Granted it’s more of a guide so you know whether your lights are halogen, xenon etc, your method is much better but the Audi app is quick. I also find partsgateway good, as well as using owner groups on Facebook etc (lots of breakers on there).

[@CarsForPaul]

Good tip!

Great videos, useful info 👍

[@CarsForPaul]

Glad it was helpful!

[@pgtnpt2245]

You missed the fact it needed an alloy wheel ;) Another problem you could run into is the salvage yard doesn't have the parts when you turn up, even though you saw them on their site and even rang them before you left to make sure, then travel over 100 miles for sweet fa (pickupspares) did this to me before.

[@CarsForPaul]

It was more about the process on how and where to get parts rather than a detailed analyst of what was needed for the car

[@truth5054]

Hi Paul, I'm looking at buying a cat s car. Do insurance companies charge more to insure a car that has a category on it thanks.

[@CarsForPaul]

Generally no, but check with your insurance provider to be sure.

[@timepass711]

Hi good video just a quick question.what if we won a car and don't pay on copart.

[@CarsForPaul]

Copart will charge you 5% of the hammer fee

[@asdaasda4967]

Hi paul just wanted to share another website ive come across for oem car parts numbers its catcar.info/en/ sometimes 7zap doesn't list part numbers for all models ie Peugeot 2008 but catcar does. Check it out. Its free to use.

[@CarsForPaul]

Great site, thanks for sharing.

[@gc5384]

Dont you do the merchandise now paul ? How you finding the sonix tool kit .

[@CarsForPaul]

[@igotskillzlive]

Why is 7zap subscription difficult ?

[@CarsForPaul]

[@frankyates7910]

[@CarsForPaul]

Glad it was helpful!

[@brianfalconer217]

Been watching the TT myself, take it it didn’t meet the reserve, going through again.

[@CarsForPaul]

yes, it is, I believe this is the 3rd time.

[@brianfalconer217]

Cars For Paul no kidding, don’t know what they expect to get for it, they usually average about£5500.

[@brianfalconer217]

Think it went for about £6500

[@germancarfan]

DM me VIN's or model and year for help with part numbers and prices for all VAG parts

[@CarsForPaul]

Many thanks for that

[@reactionpods8954]

Yo

[@donjohnson4368]

Paul, I understand co- part are not allowing collection and only they can deliver ( at inflated prices) Surely they’re taking the piss. From what I can see from videos, they bring the car up to your truck and plonk it on there with a forklift. Where’s the danger of virus contact there? They’re another greedy unscrupulous company exploiting the covid situation

[@CarsForPaul]

I think the contact issue for Copart is when the driver comes into the office to pick up the paperwork for the car, but the high prices I agree are unjustified.

[@Onewheelcamzy123]

first paul good vid

[@CarsForPaul]

Thanks and yes you are first today

[@charlieparker268]

Or just get a speclift and steal them... I’ve got a mate who does👀

[@JakeHumpage]

Sorry but you said you was a mechanic yet you thought you could cut a chassis leg and weld it to the existing part of the chassis which you can’t do due to it’s a vital part of the vehicle. Then using chock blocks for wiring jobs 🤦‍♂️ this is why I’d only buy a car and repair it my self due to I know exactly what has happened and if someone didn’t point out to you that the chock blocks were shoddy the car would of been sold and 6 months down the line would of caused more problems

[@CarsForPaul]

I think you will find that the chassis leg was then sent away to be welded properly and the chock blocks were replaced with proper soldered and shrink wrapped connections. Please watch the other video's before you start slinging mud.😀
