How did my rebuild hold up after another wreck? The cheap Grand Am is back again!

There are a couple business models that work. If you work to find new customers, you don't need to do decent work. If you do a good job, you don't need to find new customers. I have chosen the second model and it was slow growth, but I have never had to spend money on advertising to find new customers. Sometime the customers like my work so much they want me to do it again. That was the case on this Grand Am we rebuilt on the channel a while back. You can see all the videos in that series here:
Part 1 • I found another super ...
Part 2 • Dropping the engine an...
Part 3 • Replacing the frame ra...

Part 5 • Curling dash repair an...
Now let's do it again and all in one video!

When do we get the video of you doing one of these upside down and blindfolded lol

[@vehcor]

Here is the blindfolded one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6bOgnienMuFqas I’m still working on the upside down part. 😂

[@bobbygray2629]

@vehcor you got this! Just make sure the pizza girl has 911 on speed dial in case the blood rush gets to ya lol

[@plageran]

@@vehcor invert the video before posting lol

[@kingvic2105]

@@vehcor How can I get in contact with you about seeing if you are interested in my 2004 Infiniti QX56 113,000 miles clean title runs/drives but has rust underneath ? I know you have a disgust for rusted vehicles. I’m located in West Pennsylvania.

[@terrymckay9186]

Well Scott, it appears that people love the way you repair vehicles so they crash them again to watch you do the awesome repairs. Win-win for you and your KZbin community. 😁

[@patchmack4469]

pretty cool - only sell cars to customers who keep bending them - or only have customers that insist on driving in the snow that bend their cars and keep returning as Scott done such a nice job the last time - like it

[@ardillasecreta]

Well to be fair, it is literally the logos on his back haha...REPEAT being the culprit

[@georgedunham6833]

Scott , being an equipment mechanic for over 45 years I completely agree with you about arm chair experts . It’s nice to watch your work just when I am getting to dinner on the night shift in NYC .

[@jonboy9912]

Love the no nonsense adult presentation! Educational as well as entertaining..

[@dougwalsh8271]

Brother, I got to tell you, this is my favorite automotive channel on KZbin. I have learned more from your channel about late model vehicles than any other channel. Excellent work, sir. Keep up the great content.

[@claytoncoolidge992]

Scott I want to thank you for making the world a better place to be 1 grand am at a time. 🤣

[@JoePhillips1983]

Had to retire my 2000 GT with 250k miles about 2 months ago because I fell in love with hatchbacks. Great rebuild and a really nice car.

[@rodneyfairborn9358]

I am always amazed in how you make the work look easy and it’s not. I like the focus you have on every build and have learned a great deal watching your channel. Thanks Scott

[@Cheepchipsable]

Pretty much what happens when you do something for 20 years.

[@sasandabirian8768]

I came for the unloading and I'm not disappointed!🎉🎉🎉

[@patjohnson3100]

Great Friday treat to see the good work done to put this nice looking and practical Grand Am back on the road. There is no reason this car can't have a useful life and the owner get good value from it. Waste not, want not. I hope the owner can keep from hitting other large objects.

[@2023TMc]

That was the best trailer unload yet!! 😂😂😂😂

[@ryans413]

Yes another Grand Am absolutely love how easy these cars are too work on.

[@rafaeltorovip]

No sponsored video. Just good content. 👍

[@vehcor]

I appreciate that!

[@dgurevich1]

Why? "This video is sponsored by a driver near you" would be appropriate

[@mr.homelite8490]

I enjoy you working on grand am cars,I have a 03 gt sedan. I've learned so much from watching you,keep you the good work buddy.

[@michelemartin3360]

“Drive, Crash, Fix, Repeat” 🤣🤣 the follow directions 🤣🤣

[@gradyluyt6998]

I think you jinxed this one when you talked about not matching the paint during the original build 😂. Can’t wait to see it back on the road better than before.

[@vehcor]

Jinxed or increased revenue? 😂

[@68stonesfan]

"The drive axle is Bluetooth...Our work area has been marked 'safe' from rotting carcasses." Classic! It is a good thing that Scott's Grand Am Emporium is still in business! Great video.

[@sandwichbar8226]

Grand Am videos are the best! 🇬🇧 🇺🇸

[@vehcor]

🥈certainly one of my favorites to work on!

[@jenniferburr9791]

You dry humor makes me cry with laughter! Love the channel!

[@fruferSK]

Well Scott, I would say, they deserve a free T-shirt of your collection. They did do exactly as it say: "DRIVE, CRASH, FIX, REPEAT". 😉

[@mattw4662]

Can’t see both sides at the same time …….. creative pinstripe freedom!!

[@Aidanmcfar]

Those grand ams are so easy to work on and you make short work of it. 👍

[@vehcor]

One of my favorites for sure.

[@jimwiskus8862]

I loved the “ship it”, about fell out of my chair. I was amazed the ABS sensor wasn’t shredded in the accident. See you in the next installment.

[@joshdevdoss9041]

I like your videos! No music, no time lapse... Just straight up worksmanship at work! You've earned a sub.

[@htownblue11]

The scream off the trailer never gets old. 😂

[@mc_neville]

Scott goes a long way in redeeming faith in mechanics. It is a crying shame there are so many bad, bad mechanics out there. Paying sky high hourly rates should result in great work.

[@MarkK01]

vehcor Friday everyone. Best day of the week. Hands down, Scott has the best vehicle repair channel on You Tube. Great job as usual Scott. Thanks for sharing.

[@rickmarshall808]

Love the video, great work as I would expect nothing less from you.

[@jscheu71]

The trailer unloading scream is still damn funny

[@johnpartridge7623]

Nice job Scott-It still beggars belief that certain People believe that all Mechanics are Bodge Artists, some of us do the job properly with no short cuts just doing a decent & honest Days Work👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@muskokamike127]

YAY bonus scream!!!

[@billpar]

Scott I totally love your videos for the humor, sarcasm but most of all the content , you are one of the very best channels and I look forward to every video , thanks

[@michelemartin3360]

I have got to get me one of those hood edge alignment tools. An ingenious invention!

[@LuisMendez-up5te]

Every time I watch a Grand Am repair video, it makes me want to rush out and buy a wrecked one.

[@81recinos]

Like always professional work

[@vehcor]

I try

[@jonpeacey8941]

Awesome job Scott, you make it look easy bro

[@yorkshirepud3030]

Just found your channel and love it. In the UK pinstripes are fondly known as go faster stripes, these are worth about 10mph or a tad more.

[@vehcor]

Glad to have you with us!

[@alannorman6402]

Scott, I would never think you’d do shortcuts in repairs. I appreciate your honesty and integrity you use in your business. Cars are better than new when you repair them. They my not be entirely clean in areas you cannot see, but the are roadworthy and safe!

[@mmddmm553]

Brother I have no problem with your repairs I have been doing it the same way for years and years .👍🏻

[@dave3156]

Looking good again. Nice work--enjoyable to watch a real craftsman at work. tell the guy not to wreck it--wanna see the finish on the Chevy Truck rollover. Thanks for sharing

[@joelmiller2504]

Thanks for brightening up my day.

[@tonymonastiere8510]

Nice recovery! You make it all look easy. Thnx for all the lessons.

[@garfield89dude32]

Dang it Scott! If this keeps up you're going to get pretty good at working on late '90s through mid 2000s Pontiac Grand Ams! 😂😅

[@vehcor]

I’m probably only responsible for like half of them left on the road. 😂

[@BigBalledBastard]

I watched this complete episode, whilst on the toilet!

[@buckpowers4837]

An excellent job that saved the owner some and you got to revisit an old friend. Those ponies are hard to beat down and its a shame that GM doesn't still make them.

[@terrallputnam7979]

Scott, I have repaired suspension like this before and you make it look so easy and I know it is not that easy. You are a pro!

[@francoisr.7069]

I definitely need that Snap-On edge hood alignment tool in my shop!!! 🤣

[@canadatransistor]

Your past Grand am repairs are what brought interest to me to discover your channel. I still dream of my Grandam Se back in 2003. It was a great car, I'd buy another today if Pontiac still existed.

[@christopherpeters1457]

Saturday mornings are the best in my house, because by the time I get up and make a pot of tea, it's time to watch your latest download. We are 5/6 hrs ahead in the UK so perfect timing to start the day, I have never understood why certain types of people who obviously have no skill of their own need to bad mouth people who actually are extremely good at what they do. Please keep doing exactly what you are doing Scott, and ignore the rest. Plus more GMC trucks please it's what I drove when living Canada.

[@billbowers268]

Never know what your going to say next . I just love it .

[@vehcor]

Kinda whatever pops in my head. Sometimes it gets me in trouble. lol

[@Jayen4]

Nice relatively easy and quick job for you and economical repair for the owner . Looks good !

[@douglasrichardson8525]

I like your work and humour, it would never get done in the UK Regards Doug.

[@wernerdanler2742]

No wasted motion, no redos, everything fit perfectly. Next time someone gives you sh*t about your work, tell them I personally am telling them to f*** off! 😆 🤣

Hey bro you get down on fixing but you show us i learn alot thank you

[@johnnicol8598]

As someone that used to do this, I also had a surprising level of repeat customers. Some people wreck a staggering amount of vehicles.

[@thomasdemooka4341]

After 38 years of driving I've had 1 accident, caused by an 85 year old man backing UP an onramp to the turnpike in a raging rainstorm. WHY 1 accident in all those years you say? Because I pay attention to the road always, ignore my phone, rarely break 5-7 mph over the speed limit because I'm not a self centered/impatient asshat, I check intersections before I pull through and I watch for white hairs like an eagle and avoid them like the plague! Success!

[@aaronkurt6556]

Well, it seems it doesn't take a real genius to figure out that you're the type of guy that doesn't cobble stuff together. I don't know you from Adam but watching your videos tells me you do things right the first time. Keep up the great work and the hilarious sarcasm!

[@kylepokorski6045]

Man I love those old Pontiacs

[@billbowers268]

Let's go Scott ! Put back on the road buddy .

[@vehcor]

Of course!

[@joeybaez1745]

Great job

[@michaelashcraft8569]

Scott got to that energy absorber, and, that put me in mind of, sometime in the 70's some cars actually had Plastic Bumpers full of water supposed to absorb impact energy, came in handy if you ran out of Water while broke down in the Desert..

[@r.weaver3769]

Damage the axle? In 25 years, I only damaged one, I used a press instead of a hammer, flared the end so the first 1/2" of threads had to be ground off so nut would fit again. It was my first one, old timer said, use a hammer. Never damaged another. I worked in front end shop most my life. So, rock-on Scott.

[@santaward5541]

looks real nice good job

[@thetacticalfuturist588]

That was so good. The repair was appropriate for the car.

[@BenKempa]

Scott’s grand am emporium never disappoints.

[@timmywarren2349]

Very good Video 👍 👍👍

[@vehcor]

Thanks!

[@ssjmeetri]

I'll definitely drive up to Illinois just for you to revive my Grand Am, I just want it to look brand new, mint condition, with a better exhaust.

[@jamesterrill1938]

You make it look SO easy...Great video, Thanks

[@richcaseaxon]

Mechanic glitter. That's new to me. LOL

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Scott you amaze me with your automotive knowledge and skills the sign of a true maestro is you make it look so easy that even someone like me could fix it by just doing what you are doing, ps i didn’t hear you say click when you were putting things together so are you sure it won’t fall apart when you hand it back, pps I’d to pause and enlarge to see who the mumb nuts guy was who falsely accused you of not doing the job properly well done for calling him out

[@ustarheel8567]

Enjoy your videos

[@wolfc7280]

Just here for the content and commentary. Great work

[@jamewakk]

I really wish i had a mechanic like you or Wes close that I could leave my car to. Saying this because you 2 are the only ones I would trust not ripping me off.

[@alexandermckay8594]

Eric O is great, as is Rainman Ray. That's New York and FL.

[@tramptruck4859]

Good job👍 I'm surprised how many suspension joints have grease fittings - they're almost extinct in Europe, on cars anyway.

[@BrucePierson]

Nasty cold looking snow you have there, while we are having a heatwave here in Queensland Australia.

[@vehcor]

Snow one day, 50° F the next. It has been a pretty mild winter. I still don’t like it! 😂

[@pb3033]

My favorite is back !!!!!

[@richardwilson6787]

Liked your pin striping 101 explanation!!

[@johnhouseholder7682]

Good thing you explained the no blend on that fender to door the “experts”would have slammed you for that,lol. I’ve never seen you cut a corner you always explain the temporary nature of your suspension work just to get I’d drivable. Those people who comment like that probably don’t do much work like you do. Thanks John from Arizona

[@bob-co4ny]

LOL. Gotta say, didn't think a repeat would have been from so soon ago. Probably paid off you made things easy for the next guy 🤣

[@jamesdavis4124]

That looks like my Canyon behind you 😁

[@richardthomas1743]

Well now , seems that your t shirt saying is spot on! DRIVE , CRASH , FIX , REPEAT! .............. Job security Scott and of course you can fix the Grand Am's in your sleep!

[@pinball541]

& if you have seen Scott's past Grand Am videos, he can fix them blindfolded!

[@mrlt1151]

I’m interested in the price of the repair. Granted this example looks clean, and it would be the “devil you know”, for the owner, around here those are $2,500 cars. My impulse would be to just find another. I drove a 98 to over 260k miles where the odometer broke. She never gave up the ghost and ran when I got rid of it. Super easy and cheap cars for the average shadetree to keep on the road. Tons of parts availability back in 03-07 as the local yards were full of them back then. As a mechanically inclined college student paying his way through school, it kept me on wheels.

[@elbarto4394]
