[@Britoverseas]

I know it has been said before but the way you guys repair and do business helps restore my faith that there are still second-hand car businesses that operate with integrity and craftsmanship. Thanks.

[@ianchappell4199]

Hear, Hear!!

[@SubjectiveFunny]

Its probably VERY rare to find people who do it this well. These guys have a secondary income stream from the channel which allows them to spend extra time where others would just cut corners. They always do a 10/10 job.

[@carlstevens3850]

Well said.

[@andywoolley2636]

I think they would do a proper job regardless of any additional income from the videos, I just get the impression they are passionate about doing it right all of the time. 👍🏻

[@superbear617]

@@andywoolley2636 Agree. They have maintained their high standard since Day 1 of the channel.....

[@cidercecil]

You both seem a lot more relaxed and happy since going to two videos a week, great to see 😊

[@johnelbro127]

Chris doing his work on the bodies is a master at his best, just superb, and Rob your work up to Chris,s standard. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@leonb2637]

Some dealers wouldn't have fixed that driver side sill but by doing the job right, you can get better money, long term respect and trust from future customers and piece of mind for both of you and the new owner. Chris is such a professional at his work, I don't think he wants to leave anything less than the way it should be. Another fine car brought back.

[@paulhoward4161]

I really liked that sign off, with the open door and the car in the background. You should do that more often.

[@kenlizzio7096]

A long while back I only used to watch the content when you were dealing with a classic or really interesting car, but now I’m hooked on all your content. Great stuff guys.

[@davidnutt7129]

Guys, yet another 1st class repair. Your standard of work is the best I have seen. You are a credit to yourselves and to the industry!

[@jeffshaw4553]

Love the new office and kitchen looks tbe nuts don’t blame you getting sprayer in to help Chris out and it will save so much time waiting around for painter to be free well done guys

[@alanelder3259]

Rob nice flatting job !! Chris outstanding bodywork repair. Hope three vids a week comes back again !

[@daveyrayner]

The more you can get done in house the better. Very pleased to see things going from strength to strength, and you both seem happy and relaxed.

[@georgegalyer8224]

Pictures are just as good in my book. Let's face it Chris was just cracking on with it! Another great vid and another quality repair. Nice change to see people in the motor trade with a conscience! I've come across a few over the years that I wouldn't trust fixing a garden gate!

[@darrenvalentine2551]

Fantastic to watch 2 lads , doin the job proper.....11/10 . Teamwork rules...

[@stephenricketts7764]

I like the wheels in black, they do balance out with the roof. Quite a quick turnaround with both of you pitching in. Good work on the flatting off Rob we might give you the job (says Chris)! I think it will be a good move if you can get the paint done 'in house' whilst this chap is good you do have to wait your turn as you say Rob. Nice update on the office Rob it is moving on very well. Thanks for another great video Rob and Chris. 👍👍

[@Jasonhughes258]

great video again rob and chris, in house painter will be a game changer, you wont have to rely on outside painters then, less time cars hanging about waiting. ive been watching the updates of office on instagram and that is looking spot on

[@roypowell3450]

Oh I do miss you guys on a Monday. Your boy did well Chris on the rubbing down.😉. The office looking good, very surprising what can be done with pallet wood....Thanks guys.

[@martin54123]

Looking so much better, yet anothjer quality job. The new office is really coming together now, well deserved.👍👍👍

[@billhutton7766]

Great work guys loving the reclaimed timber in your office. Glad you’d showed it would love to see it when it’s finished 👍👍

[@garyquartley1084]

I missed this yesterday, and I've been really down, but this video really lifted my spirits!! Really enjoyed it especially Rob catching Chris skiving!! A dedicated painter woud really push you forward, and if he gets the Chris seal of approval he must be top notch. Thank you guys for the one channel I look forward to watching.

[@super6954]

Thanks for another great video. Pleased to hear you are finally looking to bring a painter on board , with your other business improvements hopefully you'll be flying through projects and getting them out the door. It's a shame Chris is to busy he way underrates his own painting skills from the work we see here. It's actually warmed up here in Manitoba today it's around -18 oc yeah warmed up because it's been -30 ish and down to -40 equivalent with wind chill the last week or so ! Take care guys.

[@steve5772]

Getting an in house painter's going to be a great move for you both, especially with having the booth there already.

[@vass500]

Thanks lads , the standard of work is enjoyable to watch. 👍🏼

[@andrewwilson1118]

Good first car for new driver,love the wall hope the misses don’t see this .👍👍👍👍

[@steveegginton535]

Really enjoy the bodywork videos where Chris works his magic and gets these cars back in shape ready for paint. Think bringing the painting "in house" sounds a great step forward. A nice little car this one and whilst I don't normally like black wheels I think they looks right on this silver DS.

[@mickylinehan5593]

The dynamic duo does it again!!! You two have a great system....Rob running around collecting all the bits, and Chris staying in the workshop grafting..another cracking lil motor almost done. Micky from west London.

[@jimmac715]

Always nice to watch Chris do bodywork. He makes it look so easy. Ace vid again guys👍👍

Love the fact that you’re getting a painter. Keep everything in house and keep the work flowing 👍

Hello Rob and Chris, another great video. Car coming on well. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.

My C4 Cactus has the same engine- you'd be amazed how much power it's got. I've had many CXs and BXs, and continue to love Citroen.

[@sheepdogman1]

Absolutely love you 2 guys. The workmanship is 2nd to none. Wish i could put in an order for a pickup. 😀😀

[@adamap2796]

Brand new second hand headlight, lovely. 👍

[@martin4365]

Lovely job you've made of that Citroen. Expert body repair and filling by Chris. Enjoyed watching that. You make it look so easy. Thanks for another film

[@trevorwoods2580]

Another great video men. The office is going to look really well when it's done and I know what it's like to do that wall People think it's easy but they don't think about the amount of different sizes of pallet boards and they all have to be cut to size for them to run in line. I'd like to see it when it's all done think it should look class.

[@nevillemorley5926]

That's coming along lovely . Glad you helped Chris out there, Rob. He'd be lost without you. ,😃

Lol

Hi boys . I've seen that cladding on "Upbuild " the father & son team who mainly concentrate on mini's . Great show as always . Thanks

Nice job with the Citroën. The office really coming along and kitchen. Pallet walls look great!! Have done some for a restaurant/cafe. In house painter will be a great help guys.

No substitute for talent, another cracking job.

[@manicmasterofmetal2620]

Rob, where I live the temperature today is 40 degrees celcius or 104 fahrenheit and the humidity is 90%, so unbearably hot and muggy. I would love it to be cold as you can always put nice thermal underwear on and lots of warm clothing, but when it's hot you just have to suffer it. Great video as always. Thanks again for bringing them to us. All the best from Cairns, tropical north queensland in Australia.

[@JPVolvo]

Chris really is a master at his craft can’t believe how great the sills came out. Great videos as always lads have a good one.

[@gonecywers]

Excellent job and project, gentlemen. Looking forward to seeing the finished product after paint. Your new space is also turning out very nice, and will likely be a lot more useful than you realize. Thank you again for great content.

Great wk by Chris & his apprentice Rob,the office is coming along nicely,look forwards to the next one.

[@floraldetectives5117]

In 2015 DS become a separate ( ‘luxury’) brand in itself , with Citroen as its parent company. So all of them are just badged/ branded as DS automobiles. Great vid as always guys.

[@paulkingeu]

I'm watching this in New Zealand in the middle of summer .. it is very hot here today lol

[@grahamhardy1358]

Glad your getting someone in house to do the painting, you are going to need though a bigger paint booth though, but I am sure you both will nail it

[@darrencowley8265]

Hi Rob and Chris thankyou for letting us all look at the Chris new office. And that car is looking great and and thankyou for a great video again take care both 🙂👍

[@simonabbott7323]

DS was originally part of Citroën. They were introduced in 2009 but have been separate from Citroen since 2015. The name was chosen partly as a nod to the old Citroen DS (1955-1975). DS when spoken sounds the same as the French word for "goddess" ( déesse). As for the wheels, I've seen a few DS3s and the wheels are all different: some are all silver, some all black and others a mixture.

[@enra72]

You two get bigger and better all the time throw hard work you both deserve the success

[@mww558]

I wouldn’t mind Rob’s statement of ‘I think it’s perfect’ as a ringtone!😂

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Rob and Chris, brilliant work done on the DS3,the door jamb is alot better the wheel refurb are perfect.just the wing, door and bumper to sort out and it will be a nice car.

[@organiccold]

Hi guys. You correct regarding the DS brand, its a "more luxury" brand of Citroen, a bit like Lexus to Toyota and Infinity to Nissan. Those little cars are really nice and sell really quick. You guys done well. Regarding having a in house painter i already thought that was a question of time, business and channel is growing and no way you can have three of four cars waiting for painting, thats money standing there and there is so much of you can have around. Have a nice week. Oh and the new office looks nice

[@peterdavies3862]

The DS is looking fantastic now, it will be as good as new before too long - super work! Meanwhile, when are you going to do something with the Mercedes - its been hanging around the yard for ages.....

[@kevinjarman6930]

In house painting will be a game changer Rob will be out doing some decent graft then having to keep the workshop loaded with cars.... Still tickles me when he says brand new second hand part.🤣. Yet again Chris,s eye for perfection picked up the scabby bottom of the door and got it repaired.. its normally around the wing mirrors that go rotten on those ds3,s

[@robertgibson7716]

we use to use that type stuff in black in the day to create a vinyl roof effect on bad roofs oh happy old days guys keep up the great work your amazing

Great to see you turning the cars around quickly, the way to do it

[@maffil356]

My mum had a similar bump on the side of her car on the rocker, not caused by a jacking failure; She went to what looked like the entrance to a drive way and assuming it was clear tried to whip a u turn real quick but they had lined the dirt tracks with large rocks. I think she had only had her car like 2 months haha!

I’ve always had a fear of buying a repaired car or a categorised car. As I’m watching this I would happily buy any repaired car from Rob and Chris in a heartbeat. Such dedication to ensuring it’s repaired correctly. Any way I’m waffling on, need to carry on watching lol

[@davidcurran6164]
