@Cargo1273 Cars are typically a total loss if it takes more than seventy five percent of its value in monetary funds to repair the car. A car may have a bent frame rail, but if is monetarily feasible to repair such said vehicle, then repaired it should be. Why should anyone scrap a good car that can be adequately repaired and if makes dollars and cents to do such a thing. Dumb ass. You are stupid.
I’ve learn an …
I’ve learn an important rule about car accidents., A chassis repairs= a big no no. You totaled cars with frame damage regardless of the level of damage or their repair cost vs current value ratio. The SUV shown looks like is not worth fixing at all. Why would your CADILLAC shop be placing their reputation at stake with this shoddy workmanship is beyond me.
Are all Expert Village videos this stupid?

Just a thought
Funny thing is that I have the impression the guy in the video doesn’t always know what he’s talking about, it’s like he’s reciting a prelearned speech for the camera, most expertvillage videos sound like the guy infront of the camera, isn’t one of the experts from the so called village
Crap like this put …
Crap like this put our industry down.. Cars today are so complex that if you don’t have a dedicated bench or computer measuring system and a WELL trained technician, most likely the repairs will be a joke.. Take for example a tape measure for your measurements, what a joke. LOL. Please call 911…………
