[@sjfk1306]

Wow, what a terrible scam tool. Yes, scam tool with the hidden costs….

[@williamhorsley7799]

​@@sjfk1306what about when Craig pockets the insurance money and getto Riggs it then sells it to SOMONE ELSE 😂 THAT THERE SHOULD TELL YOU AND THE PREVIOUS OWNERS SOMETHING Craig is boutta SCREW ANOTHER FAMILY SMH

[@OutlawKeith]

Sounds like you’re the only one in this story who took accountability. Good job on the outcome. You went above and beyond.

[@WOWster007]

A 16 year old girl driving a 15K plus jeep wrangler that daddy bought isn’t going to take accountability for anything

[@TheSupervillain316]

​@@WOWster007 this. Especially since she cracked it up

[@OutlawKeith]

@@WOWster007 I’m talking about daddy and mommy who waited until it was crashed to sell it back, posted their “negative experience” on FB and 99.9% probably didn’t make a follow up post saying how it was cleared up at their benefit. There’s NO way that 16yo kid will ever do the right things in life being raised by parents like that.

[@teammcmath-mcmathautos]

@@OutlawKeithnah they’d never do that!! 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@just101jamie]

insurance paid you good money to have it properly repaired and you did a half assed job and you could see the paint on the sill no matter how much you kept the camera moving 😂😂

[@Lissetete]

agree, I do not know much about cars. But that was a mediocre job

[@jondas05]

This was a big win financially for flying wheels. Huge insurance check when it really took $1500 or less to fix.

[@rc70ys]

Yep a sob story for 2 episodes. But we all know he’s in business and he makes money. 😜 quick fix and sold to the next sucker Just have to look at the state of the workshop to appreciate the quality you’ll receive 😂

[@brandonhopwood3152]

Fraud

[@CarlineSales-pz6mz]

​@@rc70yswhat sob story??? This was so obvious from the beginning, now if he would have gave them that pathfinder instead of actual money back, he would have understood the full assignment, which is what I thought was going to happen until he said he gave them money back, what a sucker

[@bigospig]

Ray Charles approves of the paint blend. 👍

[@jrm88382]

Stevie wonders body shop lol

[@captainbeyond4350]

How was that gas tank cover missed originally. It didn't rust in a couple of days. It was flaking off .

[@christophers.4007]

I hope he sprayed it with some type of rust converter before putting that skid plate on to cover it, because moisture and road salt is now going to get trapped between the rusted cover and the skid plate, making it rust even faster

[@mph5896]

A screw in dent puller🤣. That's 100% hack there😉

[@kevinselesky8627]

Yeah definitely don't use those anymore welding studs are the way to go

[@64chefhoward]

I can't stop watching a used car dealership. But he is super honest so I keep watching. He highlighted many customers who suck . He shows how to be honest

[@timothymccrary442]

Love the videos, I’ve been binge watching for a week or so. I hope you take good care of your mechanic, it’s tough nowadays with the cost of everything

[@thatonemoverguy5941]

Engine light on for an evap leak, meaning the customer never checked why the light came back on. Again, these people were absolutely unreasonable and to me seems like they just wanted you to buy them out of their own financial choice that they regretted. You are too nice, you don't have to put up with these types of people. I'm glad you finally got rid of the jeep and got it back in good shape and profited on the vehicle. If i lived in your area I'd be sending in customers and recommending your lot everyday. 🙏👍

[@derekallen3979]

"Engine light on for an evap leak, meaning the customer never checked why the light came back on" How the hell and why the hell could/should the customer have been able to do that ? This dealer didn't do that , or any diagnostic work that pin-pointed the problem. have to say the workshop would not give me confidence.

[@michaeltorres3231]

Great job Craig, everyone is happy now, you made it happen, congratulations...

[@markodria7121]

Always enjoy the content and the transparency. Keep up the good work

[@Uncletominvegas]

Only thing that sucks about the body filler right there is everyone kicks that spot when they try to get in , that filler better have a lot of hardener

[@jasehsv]

Great little series but those body repairs 🤦‍♂️ From what I can remember the insurance pay out was $6500 I’d be surprised if you spent $2000 on parts and labour. Definitely came out on top.

[@Autocreatorz]

yea he did a backyard repair , the generic materials he used was probably 150.00 and it only has to hold up for a month or 2 for someone to buy it , but thats the difference in a body shop and someone doing cheap work just to get a car out, like that rotted out fuel tank cover was clearly there when you sold it your lucky that dident fall out

[@WaziM6]

@@Autocreatorzyea this made me doubt a lot of what’s he said is there anyway it wasn’t like that when they sold it. Doesn’t seem possible but he always seems trustworthy

[@Autocreatorz]

@@WaziM6 small time dealers work with smaller numbers not to mention the rust up there he probably sprayed 1.00 walmart black paint on it so it looked good but after a month it blead threw again,im sure you seen him dusting panals with random paint and same to seats its only gotta last 3 months which would be the used car warranty and it doesent cover cosmetic its just to hide for the sale

[@butchh4runner]

Hack work

[@Kuzican01]

From his last video it was 6,875.00 Total insurance payout assuming they sent him a check for that quoted amount. He did really well even if he had to go through all this.

[@rudysalas9138]

Awesome perspective. I’ve been doing well myself selling private party. Just a suggestion, doing a little clean up inside the shop would benefit your business greatly. It also minimizes the risk of the vehicles getting damaged such as the corvettes, from getting dinged or scratched. Great 3 video series well deserved profit 👏

[@bobbabich1973]

Hey Craig, You’re a stand up guy for going above and beyond to make things right. Not a lot of used car dealerships would have went the extra mile by offering to buy the car back, not once, twice, but three times. I’m a firm believer that what goes around, eventually comes around. Selling a used item,that is high priced, must really be frustrating at times. Keep doing the right thing as best you can and keep making lemonade out of lemons, like this situation. Continuing success and may God Bless

[@JJ-Niner]

Awedome news that it got sold after all the issues with it, hopefully all dealers do what you did on similar cases, loved the series on this jeep

[@bmack1000]

I love how you turned this around Craig for the insurance repair to come to you.... great thinking because the customer doesn't care about your money... you turned a bad situation into a better one. They put you through the ringer on this one.

[@markwright8118]

If that gas tank cover holds the gas tank in place, there’s no way it should have passed the safety inspection before it was sold the first time. It was clearly seriously weakened by corrosion.

[@acebubu01]

That's called rot and not to speak Ill of this beloved KZbin channel but it seems to be on there underneath the new skid plate smh

[@MarkfromNewYork]

The paint on the right side rocker between the passenger doors is hideous.

[@chicagohh]

This was one of your better, if not the best, storylines in your entire video collection. You went way beyond what I expected you should do for the customer and things turned out well. That's something I have noticed in life - you get out what you put in.

[@blaakrose]

Great to see you came out ahead with the jeep.

[@dog01b52]

@ 7:00 minutes, you can still rust on the back half of the gas tank cover. Looks like you put a skid plate to hide the rust. The side "wavy as an ocean" that not a good comment for body work. Hope you disclose that it was wreaked to a potential customer.

[@acebubu01]

The crash bar is still bent behind the bumper cover on the passenger side as well.. not trying to talk shit but this isn't his best work smh

[@joshuasolesbee544]

Needs an alignment for sure! Passenger front tire is chopping on the inside so something is going on. Good luck

[@shanewilfon6860]

That black paint job u did stands out like a turd. Also that jeep under carriage is rusted bad. And finally the C7 looks way better than c8

[@michaelwillman5342]

Its a NH car, every car in New England has a rusted undercarriage. Paint job isn't fantastic I agree but its clearly visible to anyone trying to buy it.

[@brettemerich3237]

Craig when you a body shop does like the slide hammer,it’s the holes you put in the body they don’t like. The suction cup and glue on process with the slide hammer is preferred

[@LVDave]

I can appreciate your efforts and your not selling a new car buttttt. That is tough to pass as a decent repair. If you are fully transparent when selling it and tell potential buyers about you repairing it then ok.

[@FBIsurveillance62]

Wow, Crege Craig so cool watching the story unfold. Thanks for taking time to share this. I have no idea how you find the time to be a dad run a business and a KZbin channel at the same time man you have some momentum going that’s for sure very commendable and respectable teaching thousands of people being transparent. Thank you sir.

[@murrayminimotors1674]

Sweeeet video thanks!! I do the same type of thing with small engine and power sports!!

[@MiamiSunrise]

Wow that saga rotated back into something pretty great. The original buyers got almost all their money back, you guys were able to fix the jeep from its mechanical and wreck experience thereby saving time and also turned a profit on the Jeep. Impressed how you and your team navigated this. Much respect Flying Wheels!

[@miketaylor8323]

Great job Craig 👍

[@dajam9035]

Lol I have the first mucar scan tool you showed. I like it. You have to pay extra for all the features so you have to keep that in mind if you want it.

[@aleneedmonds6223]

I just found your utube videos and really love to get info like this..as a women I hate it when you go to buy a vehicle and feel you're taken advantage of.. I love trucks, especially the GMC HD..I own an 2001 GMC HD 3/4 ton just turned 100k..no issues, at all, looks new...I take very good care of my vehicles... Would like to own a newer model but way over prised!! Thanks again for the info..I'll be watching...

[@v12alpine]

I felt bad for the parents up to the point they crashed it and wanted a full refund. Good deeds never go unpunished.

[@TailoredReaction]

I bought a used 2014 Jeep Wrangler JK two and a half years ago after starting to watch this channel. Craig's love of what he does and what he sells was what drew me in. I love my Jeep. Love the channel.

[@brettemerich3237]

Craig some of the scan tools you can find out when the check engine light was turned off but at an auction you can’t plug it in but maybe you put the scan tool on to atleast see when it was reset. Your videos are Great Have a good day Craig

[@DarkXenoGaming]

Wranglers are great in the winter, surprised they dont sell well in the winter too.

[@kenny9088]

Craig shoots and scores! nice way to bounce back from this saga..

[@hitardo]

10:23 Is that Nucar OBD scanner really battery operated? The ones I have experienced with use the 12V pin from the OBD socket, which provide power from the 12V car battery. Pretty much like Bluetooth OBD scanners do. The Autel ones, with the larger screen and a more powerful SoC and Wifi, really need their own battery. Love the hustle and your focus! Cheers from Portugal.

[@robertvance1873]

I got completely screwed on a wrangler last 2 weeks ago… i bought it drove it right off the lot 15mins down the freeway check engine light came out… said wtf threw it in limp mode & it was a p1776 code so i had to drop the trans pan & had to pull it apart & replace the damn solenoids in the valve body… i noticed they sold it to me resealed check engine light on with tons of under coating hiding the leak i was pissed… & they told me to kick rocks. They sold me a pos trying to hide it & knowing atleast you did something so thank you gives me hope. Your not bad by any means for this situation your a good guy.

[@TopFavs]

[@LamborghiniReven1000]

Great to see a German cameo!!

[@randyvfromtheperch]

Nice deal on the MuCar scanner, but I had bought the lower version when you offered it last year! Should I jump on the Pro model? I had paid to upgrade the previous version to add the airbag and antilock brakes software - that was an additional %30. Any idea if this PRO model includes all modules or do I need to alsp pay for additional upgrades? Appreciate the advice! .

[@doingyamom]

Craig, great video! I mentioned this on your last video but one thing to note is that you have to verbally say that your video is sponsored by whatever company is sponsoring you. There have been people in the past whose KZbin channels were deleted for not disclosing that it was a sponsored product. I just want to let you know

[@ooonaughtykitty]

A 45.00 problem. EASY to fix. I did it myself. I just had to get dirty and crawl underneath the Jeep. Make sure you buy the gasket!! It doesn't come with the component... don't know why... but that's an additional 12.00.

[@cuh720]

Dealer always wins 😳

[@darknes7800]

5:31 You guys should have used a body hammer, wood dowels and sand bag from the back side.

[@pheanix69]

Also check the computer in the jeep too see if its still good cuz in my older 88 toyota tercel i had to replace the computer cuz it said that it was overheating but in reality it wasnt

[@jamesborden7731]

Great job

[@tomhilbrands4335]

You are a good man Craig and that is hard to fine now a days. Keep doing what you are doing and you are a Blessed Family

[@HeyImAndrew...]

@FlyingWheels Can you share the details on the skid plate? Fellow dealer here, not a fan of removing and replacing the factory pan with OEM!

[@MercedesE63S-AMG]

Yikes. That tool is so wrong. You use the the tool that uses studs you tack weld onto the damage & pull it. Then just grind the studs off. The hole tool will rust the damage from inside out. It also gives you bondo worms inside too. Being you own a car lot & you will come across this again buying the right dent puller would be a good investment for you. Throw the one you currently have in the garbage.

[@mr_angry1482]

What happened to the Kumho AT51s? Had those on my Grand Cherokee. They are great in the snow ❄️

[@alexflosho]

On your question about the Corvettes, I would prefer the C7. I think they look awesome and I personally think the Corvette should be front-engined. I think it's wrong that the C8 is mid-engined. Corvettes are the front-engined sports cars. They should have made a new model for the mid-engined car.

[@bellend69]

I have been in the car trade for over 35 years and things are very different now with the internet and online reviews. In my opinion the only place you went wrong with this one was you should have refunded them the money they paid towards the engine repairs. You have gone on to make a decent profit on the Jeep but in this instance a smaller profit and customers not left out of pocket would have been a better long term strategy as word of mouth in a small town is the best form of advertising. I am not saying you did anything wrong but some you win and some you lose. You would still have won on this one the girl wouldn't have been out of pocket. I think that would have been a better resolution.

[@RegardlessRecords]

After 35 years in the business have you ever taken back that was messed up? Have you taken one back that was wrecked, have you taken one back after you were slandered? And by chance you have done all of those have you ever taken a car back that was messed up wrecked and after the people who purchased it slandered your name and business? I highly doubt it. Craig was more than fair. Anything else would be simply taking advantage

[@bellend69]

@@RegardlessRecords I gave my opinion and if you read it you would see that I said he did nearly everything right and I would only do one thing different. He did what he thought was best and that is fine. Also the Jeep was hardly wrecked. Craig did not have to spend very much money or put much time in it to repair it and also made money repairing it. I gave my opinion which Craig asked people to do in the video. It is my opinion, you don't have to agree with it.

[@isaacbounds7577]

Amazing job you guys did on that jeep, I’m sorry you had to go through hell for problems. You didn’t see that I’m glad it all worked out and you got it sold. I wish they were more car salesman like you around.

Heck I live in Canada and I would purchase a used vehicle off FlyingWheels. This guy is a rare breed now a days.

[@cliftonwalker1994]

Do I understand this correctly? When you sent the keep to the dealership they told you one of your heads needed replacing? And the problem was a simple evap leak?

[@davidchen3643]

The lifter was replaced by the dealership for $3200, of which the customer paid $1200. That fixed the CEL coming on. The second CEL was due to the evaporative leak, that Craig fixed in house.

[@Gracie18841]

So here in NH, the age of the vehicle doesn't matter for the monitors? From what I found online if it was newer then a 2008 you needed all 8, but I could not find NH specific.

newer than 20 years you need 7 monitors to pass. over 20 is expempt

[@thumpin7953]
