- When you take your car to a body shop for repairs you expect it to come back with less damage - not more damage. That's one of the reasons why a Redford repair shop guy is on a collision course with Rob Wolchek.
He was just stealing cars and selling parts lol
I 100% agree
Grand Theft Auto and a chop shop in broad daylight.
You have to be very careful with dealing with chop shop's...i know a lot of them just steal cars and parts and all that type of shit.
“Smart” move 😂
People were giving him the rides they would just drop it off and he would drive it in 😂 no needed to steal them 😂 made it easier for him and his
Chop shop
This is theft by fraud he shouldn't just be sued he should be criminally prosecuted.
For sure ! it’s insane that there were people in prison for smoking weed or just having a bag of it but a guy with multiple felonies with a long list of crimes just gets shamed? What a system!
Consider studying law

“Sure.”

“I don’t have a body shop.”

Exactly 😆
I came to the comments just for this🤣🤣

Hopefully very soon
@@donaldbrown9671 I really hope one of these ladies has a big "Goodboi" son that dumps a mag into his chest when he walks outta that shop.

As for him actually "winning" have to checked out the Arizona audit at all? or the county in Wisconsin that had 140,000 mail in Democrat votes that dosent have one single registered voter living there. Or the fact that Democrat election workers in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin defied a federal court order not to touch the voting machines and turn them over to cyber investigators and instead they pulled the hard drives and destroyed them... Hey thats becoming a trend with Democrats, just like Hillary Clinton.
The way she said ambalance made me so happy 🙃

I paid a guy to put an engine in my car years ago. I picked it up, drove it home and realized it was failing in the exact same way. Popped the good. Same engine but with chalk written on it to look like a used engine from a junkyard. Went back to his business. He was gone. Left town. He timed it to be “done” an hour before closing shop.
This has been happening for about 50 years. ALL Body Shops are very shady at best. Be very aware of the place you go.
All is not fair
@@nick.100 About 99% of them.
If this crook had done this to me….he wouldn’t be safe. He needs some street justice.

Kevin..
Doesn't have a Collision Shop He Owns A CHOP SHOP!
That's the same thing I was thinking. It's gotta be a Chop Shop.
How do you get convicted of driving without a license 25 times and are still on the road that’s just insane
Been a cop 11 years, see it all the time. Also if you don't have uninsured motorist insurance policy I would highly suggest one incase one of said people cause a collision with you.
just like gun laws, only hurting the good guys.
Welcome to Michigan. The police will bust you, and send you to prison for having a roach of a joint. But get pulled over 25 times for not having a valid driver's license - it's OK. Now in Wisconsin, you can still drive without a license for driving drunk more than one time. Actually you can get pulled over n Wisconsin many times, and arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol up to 8 - 9 times, and still get behind the wheel to drive to the liquor store.
@@rickprusak9326 I totally agree. System is fnck3d
democrat district attorneys and judges. afterall, why solve any social ills when you can just blame it on systemic you-know-what, if it keeps getting you elected?
I don't know why these Hall of Shame videos came up in my "recommended videos", but I really enjoy them. Every community needs a guy/team like this.
😂😂😂😂 love that the reporter kept following his Sorry behind!
That's why you go to a dealership approved body shop instead of these shade tree and most definitely "shady" body shops
I like places where employees are paid a set wage. Like those chain mechanic stores. That way they don't rip you off. My mum was already ripped off going to these places. Every time there would be like 10 things to fix on the car.
or one suggested by your insurance company
FR!! Red flag $2000 up front for the Escape the insurance deductible would have been $500 if the other driver had insurance. Unless you know a body shop go for it if not grab your ankles cause its going to be a bumpy ride😉😎
@@jhowardsupporter
…And they will sometimes _create problems._
Has your mom had her Johnson Rod replaced? 🤣 (“Seinfeld” did an ep about this.)
Unfortunately shady subpar workman ship exist across the board don't be fooled into thinking that a nice new car dealerships are much better than this. I have been in the auto body business for thirty years and it's up to the shop owners,managers and fellow technicians to police one another but that doesn't always happen and you get characters like this and the insurance companies are to blame as well because most time you have to fight with them to pay for needed repairs to fix the car properly.
He needs a beat down. He’s never going to learn any other way. People like that never do. They’re too comfortable where they are and take advantage and crap on everybody.
Yup you right he gonna comes across someone who is going to kill his ass.
Finally. Someone with a reasonable solution to the issue. In Navy bootcamp, there were some recruits who were not "getting with the program". So in the middle of the night, there was an event, if you will, involving blankets and other assorted items. We called it a blanket party and HOW effective it was for 'straightening out' such a situation. Highly recommended, do get creative with this clown.
I agree 💯
@@joeschmo7957 I was in Navy bootcamp in 2002 and my division wanted to do this one guy but unfortunately our rtc’s found out.
You can find him and he's driving without a license, how come the police weren't right behind him with the blue lights while you have the camera rolling? But honestly I commend and thank you for going after these creeps. I wonder what he's up to today. And I can assure you these people have not been paid. Fact. Kevin is a narcissist.
The editing is surprisingly entertaining, props to whoever did that
This guy should be in jail for auto theft. Why does the justice system move so slow when it comes to grifters and con artists?
Because the whole country is ruled by criminals
This is Detroit and a bankrupt city. Why anyone decent needs to get out or just rob him back and burn down his store (redacted statement as Chicago is #1 for murders)
Yep injure a child rapist and get 20years in prison, but if you’re a career criminal little is done. Even better, if the child rapist isn’t a citizen, nothing is done about them at all.
Because they vote democrat.
@@risennation1239 that Pretty much sums it all up..
I feel bad for the people who haven’t seen this.. they might end up going to this guy!
As much exposure as this video is getting its come across my page probably 15 times in the last 10 days the shops probably closed by now and most people have probably seen this video by now

I don't so much because hopefully one of those ppl will have a snub nose .38 hidden... like my dad did once... the dude started crying lmao ... I was freaking out because I seriously thought that he was going to shoot his face off... thank god the dude gave him the money back right away....

So this guy is driving around other peoples vehicles without a license and he's not in jail? Explain.
He is probably helping some crooked cops so that explains why he is free 👍

@@ruthless12street he’s back among other black people. Shut up. If these were white people he would’ve been locked up.

Facts
someone should find him and... just for the fun
💯
Truth
I would have let my man or one of my family members take care of him. I'm not even confronting a clown like that.
Dude he scrapped her car and sold salvage parts for people who needed them like a junkyard.
Wow.
Put that dude in prison
As a Canadian I watch Detroit local news for entertainment. This was the best 7.5 mins of my life
😆 I love this sooo much 👌
the next news title on him could be: Scammer Kevin Johnson was found clinging to life after disgruntled customer... people are crazy and tired of getting ripped off.
Right!
Don't wish that on him lol.
@@CuZzOtWaN yea you're right that was out of line. I don't really hope it but it may happen as a consequence of his actions.
The reason they haven't been paid, is because he doesn't have the money to pay them. That's why he's been taking parts off of others cars. He has to rob Peter to pay Paul, but now Peter is robbed, and you still haven't fixed his issue. He's dug many holes and everytime he gets out of one, others are still being dug deeper.
He’s got a pretty nice truck. Maybe he’s underwater on that too but he’s got some money. The reason they haven’t been paid is because he’s a lowlife who isn’t interested in doing what’s right.
@@theodorerobert6774 If you're talking about the green F-150 I don't think that is his. I think it was a customers.
@@pimplepickerton probably all customers. He probably an addict or gambler.
It's messed up because as a mechanic instead of being a POS and never fixing the car you can just gouge them for a ridiculous price (which is still shitty but less shitty than just never fixing their cars) so you get paid they get their car and it's all good wolchek won't expose you lol
Describes Gerry Last from sarnia
Protect this man at all cost!
This is good info. Even if you are from a different city it gives you insight on issues to be aware of. Thanks.
How is that dude not in jail… lol the justice system is truly broken!
What if it's not broken,
Maybe it's working exactly like the people who run it want it to work!. Even scarier huh?.
Seriously 20x times caught driving with no license. He’s got every fraud charge in the book, how does the courts allow child predators and people like this out on the streets.! I hope the worst for whoever designed these punishments for these criminals. These types of criminals take advantage of weak unknowledgeable individuals and nobody cares... they just say shoulda had a v8!!
I need more of this guy! He blasting these guys like how old school reporter did back in the day.
Roger Cook was the British version, he kept interviewing a dodgy antique dealer while the dealer was breaking his ribs with an iron bar.
I'd rather trust reporters like Rob Wolchek and Roger Cook than I would all politicians or police officers. Put them in charge of the world.
I used to work there, man is a fraud. He was putting titles in my name of cars I've never seen or driven. They're still there to this day. Had to file a bankruptcy and a repossession for this pos. I still have 2 titles in my name. Also he ran up my credit card by keeping a car rental for 11 days at Enterprise rent a car. Also stiffed me on some of my pay. He needs to be behind bars.
Meaning?
Why you let him do that for
@@TheTitofan1 like she had a choice. She was under the assumption that she was helping her and vise versa. And obviously she isn't the first and unfortunately won't be the last. Are you going to say " why u let him do that ' for every person he scammed? I don't think so! Obviously you have never delt with anything like that or you wouldn't say what you said. That guy is a POS and needs to be locked up.

Kevin Johnson the neighborhood menace, breaking stopsigns, flipping one ways, and putting them back after the insurance waived deductible lmaooo
Why do people give him money before the work is complete? I'd be like fix it when you're done I'll pay you...
Because auto body shops are stupid

1 minute into this video already loving every bit of it😂😂 seems like a f’ing skit😂🤣🤣
As an insurance auto damage appraiser let me give you a piece of advice. Any shop that has “waive deductible” in neon is not reputable. Almost spit my drink out when I saw that
That is not true at all
@@fashionlife5348 If a shop is waiving your deductible, let’s say $250, they are NOT going to take a $-250 loss on the repair. The profit margins in auto body are too narrow. They will simply NOT perform $250 worth of repairs. For ex, the appraisal from insurance may say to replace a bumper cover…shop will simply repair and refinish part to cover the expense of “waiving” your deductible. I have seen it countless times. Furthermore, if they are not doing $250 worth of repairs, why not neglect do another $100 or $200 worth of repairs further increasing their profit margin. If you as customer complain to your ins, you’re screwed as the decision to find a shop to “waive” your deductible was yours.
IF you do find a shop to “waive” your deductible and still do all the work shown on the insurance appraisal, they will not be in business long as it’s not feasible to take a consistent $100-$500 loss on every insurance claim they repair
@@marcusrodriguez9992 Yes that doesn’t mean they don’t fix the car the right way its just a way to get customers in the door
As a former body man I agree. Theres just no money left to play with after we settle with the adjuster to perform the work. We did find a few people who had broad form and didn't realize it so we got their deductibles waived but I wouldn't put a neon up stating that lol ..... About the only ways we could cut down people's deductibles we're to use cheaper parts or not reinstall some accessories but In those cases the customer would have to settle with the insurance company directly then pay us once they got the check because we weren't going to invoice that we did work we didn't do. We quit that because it became a headache try to help people and then they get pissed at you. Not worth it.
@@fashionlife5348 Marcus knows what he's talking about. YOU, on the other hand, don't have a clue.
This is why you never pay till its done, I never pay my mechanic until I'm sure everything's is ready and well done
exactly
If it's a huge amount of money like $7k, you'd have to at least pay half, then the other half once the car is done.
@@PanameraTurboSEHybrid why would you repair a car for 7k?
@@marttelly6663 I used $7k as an example. If your repair price was $7k you pay half.
@@marttelly6663 bro if my car is worth 60k I'm not totaling it for 7k worth of damage
Excellent journalism!
People like this are ridiculous but a lot of victims ask zero questions and don’t do any research. A lot of times common sense will tell you what you need to know
And he's able to continue victimizing people year after year. His record is ridiculous! The judgements mean nothing when he doesn't have to pay them. This guy needs to stop hurting people.
One Good Samaritan could make sure he stops hurting people.
After you get a judgement... You can then file Leon's on anything he owns
Unfortunately there is alot of business owners like this.
There is this mechanic shop in my city called Alamo Transmission & I drove my '99 ranger there (when it was drivable) to have a few things fixed on it like a tune up, brakes, muffler, etc & was supposed to be done in 2 weeks (then covid happened)
almost 2 years later & they barely did anything to it besides stealing the cats & the seats (yes, the seats too)
if only that shop can be exposed & shut down cause they ripped a bunch of people off
Great reporting. Put these scammers on blast!

HE SURE HAVE BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEARS
Right I want moreee
Yes love it.
Look up rob Wolchek , he has a whole channel
My dad worked for body shops for 50 years and also was a insurance apprasier and adjuster. So many times body shops would try handing my dad 500 bucks in a handshake when he went to see how much damage was done. They hope if there is 9k in work he will write 14k instead. Also body shops will take a car and ram it into a wall just so there is more damage. The car fixing industry is so shady. If you only knew some of the things that go on behind closed doors
I'm finding out that housing claims are shady too, especially causing more damage part
I am an adjuster and have worked all over the country, and have done catastrophe work. The body shop industry is a joke and the PDR shops are the worst. My company's SIU department got a few shops in deep trouble for catching them doing what you just described.
As some who has worked in the industry. It’s shocking to read this but also not. 1/5 shops might do this but 3/5 will do everything they can to do a good job. 1 might be In the between. But overall most I know are doing their best and sometimes breaking even or losing on jobs to satisfy their customers. Could be a location thing
@@frankcb11yes reputable and experienced shops in business for years are solid. But when you find some guy off the internet who claims to have a body shop is when you have trouble. Just pay more and go to a legit business with facilities and employees. Not just some guy
Can’t believe Ed is still doing this and no one has rang his bell or something. God bless him. The man has balls of steel.
If I ever find him, Kevin's gonna go to the hospital
I love reporters like this!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 Put ‘em on blast!!!!

I actually took our car to his shop back in November of 2018. Didn't get it back until Feb of 2019. He seemed cool at first, until he started lying to us about the progress of our vehicle. I'm not surprised he ended up on the news. I suppose me and the wife are lucky to have gotten our car back, but I feel so bad for all of these customers. Smh his paint guy was telling me while I was cashing out that he hasn't been the same since his brother died a few years ago. Still no excuse to be a crappy person.
5:11 all dem felonies pouring down had me dead 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
For the people outside of Michigan who can't understand how this guy is not in jail, this is common business practice in the State, not just car repairs, but home repairs as well. The number of convictions means nothing and it's nearly impossible to recover any monies owed to you as you can clearly see. Not having a driver's license is not uncommon in Detroit and not having auto insurance is very common. If you want to open a crooked business, then Michigan is your State.
Bingo!

People that screw over other people should stay in prison longer than murderers
Nicole's car at 1:00 certainly looks more than $2,000 in damage. Just to replace the exploding airbags would cost more than that, and I'm not including the two smashed in passenger side doors , possible frame damage, etc., from being t-boned. More than likely, that car (that looks to be an approximately 2010 Ford Escape) would have been declared a total loss by the insurance company, if she had collision insurance. The guy just took advantage of her. "Give me $2,000 and I'll take of it." Sure.
I'm an appraiser and that is 100% a total loss. No question about it. 90% of cases where the airbags are popped will be totalled, even if the exterior damage doesn't seem too bad.
She likely didn't have collision insurance and the guy wasnt going to do the bags.
I was about to say. Her side airbags deployed. That car is history.
