Yea i would have a serious problem with someone getting into my car like that.we were working in crystal city va And we used to be up on the 13 th floor and you could see the repo men using slim jims to get into cars stay safe people.
I got repo'd a few years back. It was a really dark time in my life where I was just not handing business the right way. I was extremely reckless and irresponsible. Honestly, I'd thank the gentleman that came to my house to take the car, if I could. I didn't argue with the guy. I knew exactly what was happening. I handed over my keys and asked if I could take my pack of cigarettes out of the car. He allowed me to. I got my shit together and in a few days paid what was owed in back payments. Got the car back. Fast forward, I now own the car and never again missed a payment. On anything. My credit has gone up significantly. I've also quit smoking and drinking. will be 5 months soon. I'm saying this less to stroke my own ego and more to help any of you out that think what you're dealt is as good as it gets. It's not. You can do better... a lot better.
I did repo for a very short time about 35 years ago. Old (even then) E H Holmes on a new F350, none of the quick hook-up equipment. There were some real unhappy people and we frequently had a deputy sheriff on hand. That was not a job I would choose to do again. I appreciate how professional and calm you are
I've been working security for 20+ years. I've never felt the need to grief someone for doing their job. Repo men, and Process servers are doing a job. If someone can't afford their vehicle, then they need to be grown ups and give it up.
Even under those circumstances that doesn't give them the right to be super hostile, the repoman is just doing his job and has no control over the finance company.
Hey kid, you think you know what you are talking about, but you don't. If the debtor enters into this type of agreement, then he should know that he can lose it if the business go's bankrupt. Not the finance comp. fault. The debtor made a bad decision. Grow up and get an education.
neodecker Good on ya brother. I have also worked security and feel the same way. Sure we have employers that make us trespass other professionals but there are tactful ways to go about it and not lose our jobs or jepardize the security of the property we have been tasked to protect.

Problem is these old ass pos vehicles break down with severe issues shortly after loan agreement and purchase and they ain't paying say 4k to fix a vehicle that ain't worth that much
The reason is because the vehicle gets refinanced several times. A good friend of mine has to pay off $30,000 on a car worth about $10,000 in fact she is currently hiding the car right now because she is worried the repo process is about to start.

Good job man. When I was younger I was replying with a extended 95F 3 50. 7.3. With a dynamic loader. Everything you said is true! You can do 10 to 15 different ways. And when it goes downhill it goes definitely downhill or you lose it. Very good video I know it’s eight years old. But I’m having a few beers in 100% agree with you😂🤷🏻♂️ Thank you for the video and I think repossession is going to kick off again pretty soon. I’m thinking about buying a truck. Have a good day man
i probably need professional help. i don't do repo work. i don't work as a loan officer. i never had anything repoed. yet, i find these videos a helluva lot more interesting than 99% of the crap on Hulu, Amazon, and Netflix combined.
Great video. I've owned a recovery company for over 20 years and although it didn't show in the video, always make sure that you check the VIN number before you hook the vehicle. Don't ever trust the license number, even if it is on a vehicle that looks to be the same model. Like my business card says, " We put bad debtor's back on their feet."
@@codyor4483 yep, attitude means everything. I have even given the nice ones a ride home. I had one once who was a skip. Finally tricked him with the old phone company lineman trick, found out his current address. The next day followed him to the laundry mat, let him unload 16 bags of clothes, then snatched it. Fun times.
@@thomasrocker7408 lol grocery store was my fav.... watch them come out with a cart load of groceries and no where to put them..most people weren't flakes, and just fell on hard times, so sad. But the ones with the attitude...
@@polloloci21 try with Toyota, if its battery is good, the moment you unlock the door, it will lock again. It's a good safety feature, but if you're locked out, you are going to have a fun time trying to open it, did also mention that the wheel locks?
great videos... question. on this GMC... you were able to turn the wheel after popping the door. did the column lock not engage yet? seems like it shouldnt have turned that far. thanks
From what I could find, if the vehicle has an electronic or "chip key" the transmission can't be switched out of park while the computer is off. So there's no risk of the vehicle moving under it's own weight without a steering lock.
Actually, Chevy/GMC suvs are trucks and don't require or come with a steering wheel lock... i have had several and none of them have a steering lock. The computer does not unlock the transmission, a switch on the brake pedal does, and they have no chip in the key either. At least not on models older than 2010. They don't even have the vats system which was in 1993 gm cars.
I tow at a car auction in Jersey. Most Chevys/GMCs suvs dont have a steering lock. I find that the pickups like Sierras and Silverados have steering wheel locks.
I had a 97 suburban it had a locking steering wheel, I had a 2004 suburban, again locking steering wheel. I have a 2004 Silverado pickup, again locking steering wheel. I also have a 2016 Silverado pickup and it has a locking steering wheel, so I'm puzzeled by the comments about Chevrolet and GMC not having locking steering wheels.
You know another “tell tail sign” of a delinquent car owner trying to avoid a repo? When they park sideways in their driveway right next to the garage door or house. ...YO!
v8consumption There was an issue with GM in the past and I watch a lot of his videos when it's a GMC he fixes the direction otherwise he asks the owner before. I do have a new GMC YUKON and there's lots of issues!
Two questions. How is it you were able to straighten the steering,why did the steering lock not prevent this?. Second question. If you damage a car during recovery and the finance company sends the car to auction but gets less because of the damage is this on you?
GM steering locks are really weak. You just give the wheel a good yank and it'll free up. Our contract for recovery said we are not responsible in any way for damage. Don't know about how others do it.
Have you tried? Calling BS usually involves knowledge of it. Also possible you don't have the strength required. Ever try towing a car on its front wheels with the steering only locked by the internal mechanism? There's a reason why we immobilize the steering wheel and leave the column unlocked while towing. They break too easy (especially GM). But in a pinch when doing repo I'd intentionally break it if I had to be able to steer it. Hell I've seen people do it accidentally just by using the locked wheel as a handle while trying to shift into a comfortable position in the seat. They aren't terribly robust mechanisms...but maybe I misspoke, if we're going to details...the mechanism will break, and wheel will be free. As to which part actually decides to break probably depends on a lot of things.
Great video. I agree I would have popped tranny into neutral and gotten off the X to a safe area. Nonetheless the steps you chose to make were flawless and professional. Great job from a fellow recovery agency.
Always a good view, Mr Nut. The way you do it adds a professional touch to be this vocation: PC mounted in the cab, multiple video cams, and every piece of equipment shiny and clean. The way the others react adds all the drama and laughs.
Just because it was not in the video doesn’t mean he did not check. This is a professional operating expensive equipment, seems like he would know that basic protocol.
It was reported a yukon denali... Which they are an AWD in which case selector position cannot release either axle. Forming a makeshift sling for front allowing fronts to spin is the only useful time to “pop linkage”. UNLESS.. as in this case , someone gave bad information or not noticed it wasn’t a denali edition.
@@michaelwarfel8096 Listening I think it's more of the repo'ers ASSUMPTION it was a denali rather than what it actually was... he said it was a yukon and assumed denali....
I know this is an old video, but I've watched quite a bit of yours. One thing I admire about yours over many other tow drivers is your absolute dedication to safety - always strapping in, taking the time to do it right. That said - sure looks like your not wearing your seat belt in the end of the video....
Lol the suspense kills me. I'm like hurry bro hurry. Wha what are you doing?#?! Go go they coming lol great now alarm going off. But dam you had it all planned and under control great video
Branden Hylton Oddly it seems repo people have priorities that oppose each other. You need stealth for least probability of troublesome confrontations, power for heavy loads, which are probably more likely to be from those who would put you on high alert if they come out.
My mom has a Yukon XL of this generation. She locked the keys in it at a store and it took me two hours to break into it. I ended up buying a tomato cage and cutting a rod off it and using that to flip the manual switch, while using a thick piece of loose mulch to hold the door frame open. These were apparently a hot target for thieves, so GM redesigned this generation with overboard anti-theft. When you lock it, it disables the electric buttons if the seat weight sensors don't detect anything, and the door and window frames are redesigned to resist slimjims. I tore up the seals and scratched the piss out of the paint inside the door. It was past closing time for locksmiths around and we couldn't afford them anyway. Store mechanics tried to help break into it until their shifts ended. The fact that you got into it so quickly is impressive.
When u had it hooked from the front why didn't you just pop the linkage on the tranny put it in neutral roll out 45 sec not 10 minutes to a safe location instead of taking so long and risking contact and a bigger safety issue? Hook and roll or drag key words for a repo agent which I am and have been for the past 16 years. Just wanted to hear your reasoning. Stay safe out there.
Josh Matthews This series denali does not allow for the usual GM/Chevy linkage pop off. I found out the hard was and ended up replacing a 3200 transfer case. You don't see many of these on the road and there are no indicting marks on the outside to let you know. Only way is to get under the vehicle and where the linkage is usually at there is a small electronic box that does the shifting. Would have been 10 times easier and faster had it been the other 99%
+RepoNut I started as a ride along with a spotter and we would slide a metal plate on the sensor to open up the gate.can't this be considered trespassing also jumping a fence to gain access to the unit.I fear I will get caught by the police.can you be arrested?
+David Henriquez It's absolutely trespassing and completely illegal. In a case like this the property owner is not party to the debtor's agreement with the finance company and they have the right to restrict you from entering their property.
I don't know of any state where you can legally trespass on a third party's property to recover a vehicle without a court order and law enforcement assistance. If you do, I would certainly be interested to learn about it.
it is ok to buy something with a loan. But you also need to be smart. 1) Dont buy something unless if you lose your job or have other financial problems, you can pay your bills for up to 3 months in advance. That way you have time to at least get some finances together to keep things going. For me, I got a cheap vehicle first, then a year later I had to buy a new vehicle for my new place of living/job, so I bought a nicer but still low cost vehicle and I worked overtime so that I was able to pay off a quarter of the vehicle with the sale of the old one, and pay off the rest in only 5 months. Now I have reduced my work hours from 70 to 50 (so I can save money and still have a decent life. But I am changing to a position that pays 20% more than now. A nice jump. My credit card will be completely clean next month with a 6500 credit limit across 2 cards. Meaning I could survive for at least 6 months if needed for rent and bills alone. I will keep saving money and next year I plan to buy an even nicer vehicle. Selling my current one will allow me to pay around 25% of the new vehicle again. And with my higher pay I will again work hard to keep ahead of the game so I can pay it off in less than a year. (Not working 70 hours anymore lol just 50 hours will do well for the bills) By the way, if you stay ahead of payments by a few months, then if you have a good bank, especially a credit union, they will let you defer payments without penalty for at least 1-3 months depending on various factors. So it is great to do that, at the very least early on in case something happens later. Also, if it is a big loan that you think you might take more than 9 months to pay off, dont be afraid to ask to refinance it once you have paid off half. Again, a good bank/credit union will work with you to lower payments, and you still keep a high pay back monthly, but this will help you in case you have problems later. You may want to work really hard for 3 months, pay a ton down on it, refinance, and then relax, working less from then on knowing you are financially secure by keeping your debt payments low. So to recap 1) Find a credit union, or if necessary, bank that will give you a high credit limit, and work on your credit score per their guidance to keep increasing that. Good for emergency, and cash advances are still lower interest than from any other lending agency, and normal credit charge interest is even far lower. Usually under 15% if you have decent credit. This will help keep you above water in emergencies. 2) Keep cash on hand however you can, enough for 1 months rent on top of your current month, so you have time to breath before even backing up to the card. Learn to sacrifice when you can and dont think bad luck will never happen to you. 3) Refinance when possible and keep debt low, and keep ahead of the payments however you can, even if that means an intense month or more of work, so that you have even more breathing room when needed It is nice to only buy things with cash, but not everybody is that lucky and waiting many years isnt practical and buying a clunker in the mean time can mess with your sanity. I know that I felt so much better when I was able to get the vehicle that allowed me to handle the higher speeds and hills on top of that, with more confidence and safety and just made riding a joy which helped relieve stress of work. Now I have that joy but less work and it will pay off in the future when I want the next better vehicle.
True and there is a joy in having money to fix your own stuff. I feel bad for anyone who is paying monthly payments and also having to make repairs on something they don't own
There are armchair experts in every field. I dove trucks for 42 years. It amazed me how many 2 year drivers were such absolute experts about every aspect of driving commercially. I did my best smile and wave exit. I was usually not the only "old guy" who left supertrucker to regale the ones who still had to eat with their exploits of skill ( never dumb luck) and how much they knew aboutn other people's lack of perfection.
That's why I like to tow trucks that are fully automatic just back in hit the button and the t comes down under the front of the vehicle and lifts it up damn you're good to go
many of the NBS GM truck don't have steering lock. They switched to shift interlock. The shift interlock solenoid is a safety mechanism that keeps the driver from shifting out of park when the brake pedal is not pressed down. In addition to the brake pedal being pressed down, the ignition must be in the on position
They also had an camera car driver verify it was there. But even if he did catch the plate with his camera still should always vin it. I’ve ran into many where the tag hit but wasn’t the right vin

BluHistory is the name If you don't mind me asking, how did you manage to save for an Audi? Any tips, what you do for a living, etc would be appreciated. Thanks!
rminitials go to whatever dealership. Ask them what the average monthly payment for the car you want is. Put that money into a savings account every month. Then after the 5-6 years go buy the car in cash. Your bank will pay you interest on your money. Instead of you paying them.
YOUR WORKING FOR YOU!! It's YOUR JOB, NOT everyone else's opinions! I was a tow truck driver back in the Day,and you have to do what you have to do to get that job done without damaging OTHER PEOPLE CAR'S
Thank you for the work you do. Can't imagine how childish some of the things you see are. People, if you are having a car repossessed, don't mess with the man who's job it is to do it. Just be respectful as you should with anyone.
I don’t get people getting mad at being repoed. I had a repo man come knock on my door to ask me for the keys. I gave it to him and let him do his job and resolved the situation with the bank, which was an error. Even if my fault, I can’t pay for it, I don’t get to keep it. Simple.
You can always just may minimum payments or half payments, from my understanding they don’t want to repo you, unless your guaranteed a failure and gonna lose it and not pay back!
Steven Stewart right wtf is this guy doing, ive been towing 2 years and woulda been gone off the property with 1 strap and linkage popped... then strap and hit the road

Matt the fights in your comment section are entertaining too. I love reading the ones telling you how to do your job. I'll bet you have a lot more years on the job. And like one person said "Matt would not be in business as a owner operator if he was not doing a good job." On a personal note hang in there with The wife.

peglegvlogs The comment section really does make me laugh a lot. I get a different point of view by reading them. The fights between viewers are interesting to say the least. It's amazing how down right ruthless we will get with our words as a society when we sit behind the anonymity and privacy of a computer screen. Threatening to kill each other over an opinion. REALLY PEOPLE.We can't take back bullets and we cannot take back words. Thank you for the kind words on the other end of it all. I think people view me as a lot stronger than I feel many days. I cry a lot more than anyone will ever know in the privacy of my truck as I drive from here to there and it just sucks to be dragged through a life of watching the one you love tortured on a daily basis by their own body. Shanda is the strong one. I am just along for the ride. I keep my promises in this life cause our word is all we have and I told her I would take care of her until the end. I have shown up at many of repos where the wife has been left with cancer and the cheating husband stopped paying the car and house payment and I've seen the pain that causes and I will never do that to another person in this life.

I've never did the small cars I've always done tractors and trailers maybe some fitness centers and machine shops A question is How did you get the wheel turned straight I thought that wheel would have been locked without a key
I wonder why the steering wheel wasn't locked when I turn my wheel real hard either direction it locks it and you have to put the key in to get it to turn back
jason trehy not all cars have the steering lock, even the same car but different trim could not have it so I’m assuming this one didn’t have it luckily lol
I mean on the highway. It could be as much as hitting something on the road that throws you in the next seat. I understand at slower speeds, I personally wouldn't chance it at highway speeds. Also the aspect of getting a ticket.
in Missouri its ten dollars and they cant pull you over just for that, its a personal choice for an adult over 18 just as a helmet should be, now for children I agree with you, but anybody else should have the right to chose, we can agree to disagree brother tats what a free society is about
This may be a stupid question but why didnt you just hook up the dollies in the rear, wouldnt that have been easier than trying to reposition especially since the wheels are cut and you are going to have to hook up dollies anyway rather than trying to gain entry taking risk of setting off the alarm?
I got out of a repo one time. I got a call they was sending a truck to reposes my 1998 isuzu amigo i already sent the bill payment in the mail exactly 10 days ago and should have been there 3 days before i got the call so i drove it to the lenders office parked it in there lot got a ride home still beat the truck to pick it up told them a buddy had it in atlantic city for work. So 40 mins go buy cops at the house told them same story then the reaper got a call that bill made it to the office but must have been looked over and they excepted the payment best part about it was by parking it there at the lender they would have never looked there
I bought a Chevy dually and every week the glow plugs stopped working. Was told it need a newer wiring harness to solve the problem. I called them to come repo the truck 🤓
So maybe someone can answer this one for me, just out of curiosity. When vehicles have a steering wheel that locks, is there a way to bypass that without a key? I'd like to know how if there is, but if it's a trade secret you don't have to divulge the way, but I'd really like to know if it can be done.

i probably need professional help. i don't do repo work. i don't work as a loan officer. i never had anything repoed. yet, i find these videos a helluva lot more interesting than 99% of the crap on Hulu, Amazon, and Netflix combined.
It’s reality TV. but really real
Ditto
Check out Patty Mayo's channel. He's a bounty hunter and his shows are addicting as shit.
This channel is way better than those fake repo shows like on TruTv.
Great video. I've owned a recovery company for over 20 years and although it didn't show in the video, always make sure that you check the VIN number before you hook the vehicle. Don't ever trust the license number, even if it is on a vehicle that looks to be the same model. Like my business card says, " We put bad debtor's back on their feet."
loll lol lol.. getting them at the grocery store was my favorite...for those who flunked the attitude test.
@@codyor4483 yep, attitude means everything. I have even given the nice ones a ride home. I had one once who was a skip. Finally tricked him with the old phone company lineman trick, found out his current address. The next day followed him to the laundry mat, let him unload 16 bags of clothes, then snatched it. Fun times.
@@thomasrocker7408 lol grocery store was my fav.... watch them come out with a cart load of groceries and no where to put them..most people weren't flakes, and just fell on hard times, so sad. But the ones with the attitude...

Got shot at I’m Harlem doing repos... it wasn’t pleasant..
Did I miss something? How did he get the front wheels to turn if the wheel is locked?
Hi! He shimmied a wedge in the door to fish a wire in there to unlocked it. Opened the door to straighten the wheels.
The GM cars don’t have a locking steering wheel. Same thing for Dodge
@@anngarrett5717 Thanks
@@polloloci21 Thanks.
@@polloloci21 try with Toyota, if its battery is good, the moment you unlock the door, it will lock again. It's a good safety feature, but if you're locked out, you are going to have a fun time trying to open it, did also mention that the wheel locks?
Has anyone tried to jump in the towtruck as your hooking the car? or is it locked as your during your work
I watched this like a movie on the verge of screaming, "get out!" This was intense. Glad he got out of there before security showed.
great videos... question. on this GMC... you were able to turn the wheel after popping the door. did the column lock not engage yet? seems like it shouldnt have turned that far. thanks
You probably won't get an answer from Matt/reponut for a while as he's currently incarcerated
I'm thinking staged I had a truck like that unless its broken you cant turn the wheel without the keys
Certain years and models like this one the steering don’t lock at all. I have an 04 Tahoe and it don’t.
wtf no steering wheel lock?
I was reading through for someone to catch this. I am still wondering how the wheel turned. POS
From what I could find, if the vehicle has an electronic or "chip key" the transmission can't be switched out of park while the computer is off. So there's no risk of the vehicle moving under it's own weight without a steering lock.
Actually, Chevy/GMC suvs are trucks and don't require or come with a steering wheel lock... i have had several and none of them have a steering lock. The computer does not unlock the transmission, a switch on the brake pedal does, and they have no chip in the key either. At least not on models older than 2010. They don't even have the vats system which was in 1993 gm cars.
I tow at a car auction in Jersey. Most Chevys/GMCs suvs dont have a steering lock. I find that the pickups like Sierras and Silverados have steering wheel locks.
I had a 97 suburban it had a locking steering wheel, I had a 2004 suburban, again locking steering wheel. I have a 2004 Silverado pickup, again locking steering wheel. I also have a 2016 Silverado pickup and it has a locking steering wheel, so I'm puzzeled by the comments about Chevrolet and GMC not having locking steering wheels.
Do you get paid per repo or per hour? Like what if one repo takes you 2 hours or something?
He gets on average 300$ per tow, he doesn't work hourly
there are also a lot of expenses that come with the job but yeah, he's sitting pretty if he's wise with his money.
repo
er zaal naaaa not usually. Usually you have a set price with a lean holder and that’s what you charge whether it’s a cavalier or a Bentley.
er zaal so if you repo lambos in Vegas that’ll be more money.
You know another “tell tail sign” of a delinquent car owner trying to avoid a repo? When they park sideways in their driveway right next to the garage door or house. ...YO!
wait, no steering wheel lock??
It's an old car.
+EarthlingGamer doesnt matter all cars have steering locks post 1970's
v8consumption There was an issue with GM in the past and I watch a lot of his videos when it's a GMC he fixes the direction otherwise he asks the owner before. I do have a new GMC YUKON and there's lots of issues!
+taizer This one doesn't. And a lot of newer vehicles don't.
I was thinking the same thing
Two questions. How is it you were able to straighten the steering,why did the steering lock not prevent this?. Second question. If you damage a car during recovery and the finance company sends the car to auction but gets less because of the damage is this on you?
GM steering locks are really weak. You just give the wheel a good yank and it'll free up. Our contract for recovery said we are not responsible in any way for damage. Don't know about how others do it.
Dan R those body style Yukon’s and Chevy Tahoe’s has steering that did not lock
Sorry I have to call BS on that there's no way you can break the pin by yanking hard on the Wheel!
Have you tried? Calling BS usually involves knowledge of it. Also possible you don't have the strength required. Ever try towing a car on its front wheels with the steering only locked by the internal mechanism? There's a reason why we immobilize the steering wheel and leave the column unlocked while towing. They break too easy (especially GM). But in a pinch when doing repo I'd intentionally break it if I had to be able to steer it. Hell I've seen people do it accidentally just by using the locked wheel as a handle while trying to shift into a comfortable position in the seat. They aren't terribly robust mechanisms...but maybe I misspoke, if we're going to details...the mechanism will break, and wheel will be free. As to which part actually decides to break probably depends on a lot of things.
L TR even though he had dollies and could do it the right way without ever going in the car or setting off the alarm you definitely sound educated
The background is so beautiful. If you don't mind me asking what state is that?
How was the steering wheel unlocked?
That's my question. How was steering wheel unlocked?
Great video. I agree I would have popped tranny into neutral and gotten off the X to a safe area. Nonetheless the steps you chose to make were flawless and professional. Great job from a fellow recovery agency.
Always a good view, Mr Nut. The way you do it adds a professional touch to be this vocation: PC mounted in the cab, multiple video cams, and every piece of equipment shiny and clean. The way the others react adds all the drama and laughs.
I didn't know you could turn the wheel like that without having the key.
He must have had a key.
@@tomgunn8004you literally watch him not even enter the vehicle and turn the wheel without a key
No verifying the VIN? Never go on someone else’s word.
Noticed that also
License plates?
@RandomGuy that will catch up with you one day. NEVER trust a license plate. ALWAYS check the VIN
That vehicle could belong to somebody else and you could have just committed grand theft.
Just because it was not in the video doesn’t mean he did not check. This is a professional operating expensive equipment, seems like he would know that basic protocol.
Just wondering why the steering wheel wasn't locked and how you were able to straighten the front wheels?
Not all models lock the steering column.
I been towing for 20 years and I will never understand this tow. Why didnt you disconnect the linkage?
Exactly
It was reported a yukon denali...
Which they are an AWD in which case selector position cannot release either axle.
Forming a makeshift sling for front allowing fronts to spin is the only useful time to “pop linkage”. UNLESS.. as in this case , someone gave bad information or not noticed it wasn’t a denali edition.
@@michaelwarfel8096 Listening I think it's more of the repo'ers ASSUMPTION it was a denali rather than what it actually was... he said it was a yukon and assumed denali....
Yeah but at that moment he realized it was not a Denali he still could have just popped the linkage 🤷♂️
Does the keys not have to be in it to be able to turn the steering wheel?
I was wondering the same
not on newer chevys
the steering wasnt all the way in locked position, thats why he was able to turn it
I know this is an old video, but I've watched quite a bit of yours. One thing I admire about yours over many other tow drivers is your absolute dedication to safety - always strapping in, taking the time to do it right. That said - sure looks like your not wearing your seat belt in the end of the video....
Lol the suspense kills me. I'm like hurry bro hurry. Wha what are you doing?#?! Go go they coming lol great now alarm going off. But dam you had it all planned and under control great video
SAME HERE 😂😂. IM SITTIN HERE ON THE TOILET STRESSED TF OUT FOR HIM LOL
Y didn't u pop the transmission in Neutral under where the shift cable is
Perfect repo. I was a repo man many years ago and it is a tough job. Hats off to this man.
That's a quiet engine in your truck, smart...
Branden Hylton Oddly it seems repo people have priorities that oppose each other. You need stealth for least probability of troublesome confrontations, power for heavy loads, which are probably more likely to be from those who would put you on high alert if they come out.
yeah a muffled 4 cylinder will pull 18,000 pounds
Put saw dust to quiet the engine works for me
How did the steerinh wheel turn without switching the ignition out of lock position?
Neutral safety switch
@@MoPhenoGrows420 what safety switch??
Sometimes it will turn try it in your own car
@@socalRooster I tow for a living. Without the key the wheel locks. Unless there is something that I don't know
@@MoPhenoGrows420 that's for neutral not the steering wheel lock
My mom has a Yukon XL of this generation. She locked the keys in it at a store and it took me two hours to break into it. I ended up buying a tomato cage and cutting a rod off it and using that to flip the manual switch, while using a thick piece of loose mulch to hold the door frame open.
These were apparently a hot target for thieves, so GM redesigned this generation with overboard anti-theft. When you lock it, it disables the electric buttons if the seat weight sensors don't detect anything, and the door and window frames are redesigned to resist slimjims. I tore up the seals and scratched the piss out of the paint inside the door. It was past closing time for locksmiths around and we couldn't afford them anyway. Store mechanics tried to help break into it until their shifts ended.
The fact that you got into it so quickly is impressive.
I honestly thought that you would have had contact. Lol. I was yelling at you to hurry up. Glad you got it done
When u had it hooked from the front why didn't you just pop the linkage on the tranny put it in neutral roll out 45 sec not 10 minutes to a safe location instead of taking so long and risking contact and a bigger safety issue? Hook and roll or drag key words for a repo agent which I am and have been for the past 16 years. Just wanted to hear your reasoning. Stay safe out there.
Josh Matthews This series denali does not allow for the usual GM/Chevy linkage pop off. I found out the hard was and ended up replacing a 3200 transfer case. You don't see many of these on the road and there are no indicting marks on the outside to let you know. Only way is to get under the vehicle and where the linkage is usually at there is a small electronic box that does the shifting. Would have been 10 times easier and faster had it been the other 99%
+RepoNut no there isn't
+RepoNut I started as a ride along with a spotter and we would slide a metal plate on the sensor to open up the gate.can't this be considered trespassing also jumping a fence to gain access to the unit.I fear I will get caught by the police.can you be arrested?
+David Henriquez It's absolutely trespassing and completely illegal. In a case like this the property owner is not party to the debtor's agreement with the finance company and they have the right to restrict you from entering their property.
I don't know of any state where you can legally trespass on a third party's property to recover a vehicle without a court order and law enforcement assistance. If you do, I would certainly be interested to learn about it.
Wow that’s a lot of steps to get that heap. Nice work.
This is why I only buy what I can afford, cash only! 😅
When ever you ready to purchase property in California, let me know.
ACT1O1 you’ll be waiting a long time
it is ok to buy something with a loan. But you also need to be smart.
1) Dont buy something unless if you lose your job or have other financial problems, you can pay your bills for up to 3 months in advance. That way you have time to at least get some finances together to keep things going.
For me, I got a cheap vehicle first, then a year later I had to buy a new vehicle for my new place of living/job, so I bought a nicer but still low cost vehicle and I worked overtime so that I was able to pay off a quarter of the vehicle with the sale of the old one, and pay off the rest in only 5 months. Now I have reduced my work hours from 70 to 50 (so I can save money and still have a decent life.
But I am changing to a position that pays 20% more than now. A nice jump. My credit card will be completely clean next month with a 6500 credit limit across 2 cards. Meaning I could survive for at least 6 months if needed for rent and bills alone.
I will keep saving money and next year I plan to buy an even nicer vehicle. Selling my current one will allow me to pay around 25% of the new vehicle again. And with my higher pay I will again work hard to keep ahead of the game so I can pay it off in less than a year. (Not working 70 hours anymore lol just 50 hours will do well for the bills)
By the way, if you stay ahead of payments by a few months, then if you have a good bank, especially a credit union, they will let you defer payments without penalty for at least 1-3 months depending on various factors. So it is great to do that, at the very least early on in case something happens later.
Also, if it is a big loan that you think you might take more than 9 months to pay off, dont be afraid to ask to refinance it once you have paid off half. Again, a good bank/credit union will work with you to lower payments, and you still keep a high pay back monthly, but this will help you in case you have problems later. You may want to work really hard for 3 months, pay a ton down on it, refinance, and then relax, working less from then on knowing you are financially secure by keeping your debt payments low.
So to recap
1) Find a credit union, or if necessary, bank that will give you a high credit limit, and work on your credit score per their guidance to keep increasing that. Good for emergency, and cash advances are still lower interest than from any other lending agency, and normal credit charge interest is even far lower. Usually under 15% if you have decent credit. This will help keep you above water in emergencies.
2) Keep cash on hand however you can, enough for 1 months rent on top of your current month, so you have time to breath before even backing up to the card. Learn to sacrifice when you can and dont think bad luck will never happen to you.
3) Refinance when possible and keep debt low, and keep ahead of the payments however you can, even if that means an intense month or more of work, so that you have even more breathing room when needed
It is nice to only buy things with cash, but not everybody is that lucky and waiting many years isnt practical and buying a clunker in the mean time can mess with your sanity. I know that I felt so much better when I was able to get the vehicle that allowed me to handle the higher speeds and hills on top of that, with more confidence and safety and just made riding a joy which helped relieve stress of work. Now I have that joy but less work and it will pay off in the future when I want the next better vehicle.
California is a dog shit place to live.
True and there is a joy in having money to fix your own stuff. I feel bad for anyone who is paying monthly payments and also having to make repairs on something they don't own
I like your style, planning and efficiency. Good work.
There are armchair experts in every field. I dove trucks for 42 years. It amazed me how many 2 year drivers were such absolute experts about every aspect of driving commercially. I did my best smile and wave exit. I was usually not the only "old guy" who left supertrucker to regale the ones who still had to eat with their exploits of skill ( never dumb luck) and how much they knew aboutn other people's lack of perfection.

9:08 how did you turn the wheel with out the keys? doesn't it lock the column with out the keys in?!
many of the NBS GM truck don't have steering lock. They switched to shift interlock. The shift interlock solenoid is a safety mechanism that keeps the driver from shifting out of park when the brake pedal is not pressed down. In addition to the brake pedal being pressed down, the ignition must be in the on position
I noticed you didn't check VIN, what if it was just another Yukon?
The computer in the towtruck is hooked to a national database. It was identified by its plates and the fact that they knew where the debtor worked
They also had an camera car driver verify it was there. But even if he did catch the plate with his camera still should always vin it. I’ve ran into many where the tag hit but wasn’t the right vin
@@michaelblanton3006 very true. Ive made that mistake cost me 1000$ for a wrongful tow. I awlways vin now
@ Cody Collins yes sir. Every last one of them I vin. I’ve had it be the same exact everything but that vin did not match. Nope not for me lol

Thank you for the work you do. Can't imagine how childish some of the things you see are. People, if you are having a car repossessed, don't mess with the man who's job it is to do it. Just be respectful as you should with anyone.

Great job man.... Respect. People like you deserve more credit.... I hope the job is paying well
I don’t get people getting mad at being repoed. I had a repo man come knock on my door to ask me for the keys. I gave it to him and let him do his job and resolved the situation with the bank, which was an error. Even if my fault, I can’t pay for it, I don’t get to keep it. Simple.
You can always just may minimum payments or half payments, from my understanding they don’t want to repo you, unless your guaranteed a failure and gonna lose it and not pay back!
If the company gives you grief EVERY time you go there...that says a lot about the company, like maybe they need to pay their employees.
Check vin, hook up, strap, pop linkage, shift into neutral, and gone? 2 1/2-3 min tops... 🤦🏼♂️
Steven Stewart right wtf is this guy doing, ive been towing 2 years and woulda been gone off the property with 1 strap and linkage popped... then strap and hit the road

This may be a stupid question but why didnt you just hook up the dollies in the rear, wouldnt that have been easier than trying to reposition especially since the wheels are cut and you are going to have to hook up dollies anyway rather than trying to gain entry taking risk of setting off the alarm?
I got out of a repo one time. I got a call they was sending a truck to reposes my 1998 isuzu amigo i already sent the bill payment in the mail exactly 10 days ago and should have been there 3 days before i got the call so i drove it to the lenders office parked it in there lot got a ride home still beat the truck to pick it up told them a buddy had it in atlantic city for work. So 40 mins go buy cops at the house told them same story then the reaper got a call that bill made it to the office but must have been looked over and they excepted the payment best part about it was by parking it there at the lender they would have never looked there
I don't believe any of that

I love jobs where you get to take stuff away from people. Especially when they think it’s really their stuff.
