Worked with a guy who painted all his tools pink. Everyone on the job would rag on him and give him mess. I asked why pink one day. He pointed out no one asked to "barrow" his tools, he never lost any they always got back to him. 🤔
I worked in a body shop when I was a kid.... the estimator had the hardest job. And when they didn't want to pay what a job would cost, we ended up doing supplemental after supplemental to get them to ALMOST pay what they should. Insurance companies work hard at screwing both the customer and the body shops.
whoevers making/selling the parts is screwing the customer and the insurance companies too. over 1k for a bumper? over 1k for a headlight? is this a porsche? i wouldnt care about screwing the insurance company, but they pass that cost on to us
@@will.green. if you don't like this headlight price, price one out for a sporty Mercedes, and you will think this one if cheap, worth twice the price.
Even though you have your own successful business and channel and team, it's got to be a big pride moment every time you hear Matt say "Robby'l fix it!"
Good video. Very well explained. You showed all the hidden damage that some shops would hide & charge for new parts. Hard to find good shops such as yours. Great business values & ethhics.
As an insurance agent, I’m going to watch this video with my office staff so that they can better understand what happens after we help customers-turn in Claims. Recently, I purchased a lightly damaged late model camper through Copart (that are Insured owned) paying all the fees to a licensed rebuilder body shop in Illinois. It was to better understand that process and the time it takes to get through, AFTER our Insured has been paid a total loss.
Nice to see a body repair vid again. Those Golden Nugget ones were mesmerizing. LOL. Misquoting your buddy Rory, I can't wait to see you 'blow-torch and splatter' it. You can always tell Matt that Rory helped.
Well Done. It is nice to see a Professional at work. I can safely say that I've never seen a Paint/Body Operation that works as well as yours appears to. Around here the work product is about as half-assed as it can get.
Really like the video! Just hit my 2nd deer this year. 1st in March took to dealership waited 4 months to get back. 11,000.00 in damages. My second one November 15th just got estimate for 8,500.00 from private auto body shop. Hopefully they can get it done sooner than 4 months. They are giving me a loaner where the dealership wouldn't. Love the work you do!
It's good to see why repairs are so expensive. I'm sure somebody's making a bundle selling the parts. $1875 for a headlight assembly sounds insane to me.
i always enjoy your videos, as a backyard mechanic /body man I learn a lot from your channel. fyi I've been married for 51 years; as long as the boss remains the BOSS you and your family will do just fine 🤠 keep up the good work.
Old stuff is getting more expensive, too. My Ford had a good wallop when someone hit my car in a parking lot. I was quoted 3k for a new bumper, fender, fog light and a repaint. I decided to leave it alone.
My 05 Silverado only cost me $7000.... both headlights and turns cost me less than $100 when I hit a deer, for the $9000 this truck is costing I could replace all my lights, new grille and have a lot left over. I'll stick with the old stuff as well.
Robby is definitely trying to pull a fast one on insurance.... I had a brand new Mercedes that needed much more than just a bumper replaced after a deer hit... It cost 6K...
Great video! I’ve been enjoying your channel for years and this is my first time commenting. It’s nice to see the body shop stuff again. Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks for taking us through the teardown, inspection, and quote process. Cool to see the behind-the-scenes operations. Auto body repair front and center.
Thanks a lot for showing and detailing how it works, and down to the cost, very insightful and great learning opportunity. Helps understand how and why ! Amazing, as always !
Hey Robby !!! In the estimate ,did you include the labor for fixing the fender & hood alignment ?? Great video & can see why ""COLLISION INS"" is so high !! 👍👍👍👍👍
That was quite interesting. Appreciate you taking the time to disassemble and explain. Also liked the peek at the estimating software and what tyou have to do with insurance companies. Thanks
It would be a ice follow up to show what the insurance company comes back with and the process from then on. 'At least I would enjoy it. Thanks Layton Nation from Steeler Nation
Dude you're amping my anxiety up to the next level every time you say I'm going to do this... Then you say no I'm gonna do something else bro... He's like M .Night shyamalan with "The Twist"!
When I hit a deer in my truck, I wish I had it professionally done, but even at 6K, it was too much for me. I love seeing just how much work goes into these jobs.

Great show, really enjoy your body-work tutorials. Also amazing how similar to Kaulin you speak, must be a Utah accent!
Can I send ya my pics and you guys adjust it so I dont have too wait on progressive? Haha.
Nice work! Thank you, Robby.
How much was labor? 😂😂
Add Deer Whistles for next time Matt/ Kaulin
You think with your Barnes connection you would have went with a HD bumper
I dig on Robby's repairs and builds. He does some crazy stuff!
Kaulin has good taste. Color-matched bumpers, etc. are *_much_* better.
I have that on the list for my Silverado Z71 LTZ. Too much chrome!
I enjoyed this one, nice to see collision repair again!
Thanks all!

This is what I like to watch, a master repair man in his element. I also find it educational.

I was an estimator for two years and between the insurance and customers it was not for me
Estimating these type jobs is a pain but time spent here pays for itself when dealing with fools at ins co.

@@will.green.I’m still trying to figure out how the taillight on my Escape costs $500.
I love the big build builds, but its refreshing to see collision repairs again.
i also like the big buildy build builds
Even though you have your own successful business and channel and team, it's got to be a big pride moment every time you hear Matt say "Robby'l fix it!"
Actual autobody work video! damn these are getting rare
Good video. Very well explained. You showed all the hidden damage that some shops would hide & charge for new parts. Hard to find good shops such as yours. Great business values & ethhics.
It's always good to watch someone that enjoys their work. keep up the good work,and enjoy your family, you will live a hppy life.
True craftsmanship at its finest!! That's why I enjoy watching your channel!!
Thanks for taking the time to explain all this stuff (estimate) to us
Watching the entire tear down/estimate process was educational. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent collision repair video, Robby. Total quality and I would bring my vehicle to you in a heartbeat! Thank you!
Many thanks for sharing the process with us, it’s much appreciated ❤
I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting that coming! You got me.

You be nice to the boss
She is an absolute angel
You’re a lucky man

Stay safe you guys

I'm still surprised that Matt's spud truck passenger door hasn't made the journey to Robby and crew. Thanks for showing the process you go through.
Why would you be surprised a unfinished build isn't at the body shop yet?🤔
Enjoyed the process Robby....ouch on the numbers!
It's good to see why repairs are so expensive. I'm sure somebody's making a bundle selling the parts. $1875 for a headlight assembly sounds insane to me.
And I was upset when mine cost $300
wow i guessed 5k before you did the estimate. there is no reason for parts prices to be so high. great video today!!
RIGHT!!! And Trump is going to make it worst with his taxes.
@@brianyazzie4538 and here's the (more on) (intentionally misspelled)who had to bring politics into it.
@brianyazzie4538 you don't know what your talking about and it shows.
@Koontzy. go buy another Trump flag and see what I'm talking about.
@davidbreaux5989 🤣🤣🤣
Robby, I really enjoy your videos. I think what makes them so good, is your obvious genuine work ethic.

The reason I buy nothing but arb bull bar bumpers for all my 4wheel drive vehicles keep up the great content
9 grand for a bumper and a grill. Think I’ll stay with old stuff
Old stuff is getting more expensive, too. My Ford had a good wallop when someone hit my car in a parking lot. I was quoted 3k for a new bumper, fender, fog light and a repaint. I decided to leave it alone.

@@daveisnothere for 9k you could buy another truck (used). my 94 toyota was 7k new from the dealer.
Robby is definitely trying to pull a fast one on insurance.... I had a brand new Mercedes that needed much more than just a bumper replaced after a deer hit... It cost 6K...
I appreciate you Robby; and your entire crew.
Adds up quick when a 0.25c front bumper plastic push pin is $25
Great video! I’ve been enjoying your channel for years and this is my first time commenting. It’s nice to see the body shop stuff again. Keep up the excellent work.
ROBBY I LOVE YOUR WORK AND VIDEOS YOU DO ITWITH CLASS AND PRIDE
Watching Robby, he is a smart dude and talented.
Good to see The Boss! Good content as always.
Thanks for taking us through the teardown, inspection, and quote process. Cool to see the behind-the-scenes operations. Auto body repair front and center.
Thanks, this is what I came to this channel for. Hope you and your extended family had a great Thanksgiving!
With your knowledge you make it look so easy! Very cool to see how it's done!
Thank You Robby for explaining how it works!!
Enjoyable watching a master working at his art..
I enjoy watching collision repair and painting at least as much as recovery. Good stuff.
A watcher saying. My favorite things are the crew, the skills, and laughing with Hector. And excitement for King Azul,aka.Fred..
In New Zealand dollars $1,542.75 plus GST at 15% but with shipping properly more. It is time to make cars simpler again.
Thanks a lot for showing and detailing how it works, and down to the cost, very insightful and great learning opportunity. Helps understand how and why ! Amazing, as always !
That was great. You only see damage from the outside. Neat to see everything that's hidden.
REALLY GLAD TO HAVE DEMRI & Her Great Smile & Laugh & Personailty, You & The Guy's Are GOOD BUT SHE IS GREAT !!! 👍👍👍😜
Always love to see you work on body and paint.
I enjoy your videos, Robby and team! You're right about auto body fix prices, damn! Be well all :)
You are a pro Robby. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for the breakdown! Good lesson for us who work on cars !
As always..... very enjoyable to watch and learn how things like this work behind the scenes.
You do disassembly so smooth!
Thanks for sharing that Robby. 👍
Great video, parts are outragous and plastic too. Thanks and God Bless.
Nice job Robby, appreciate you showing start to finish on working up an estimate.
8:21 it almost sounded like he said he would MAKE The Boss put it back together 😂😂😂
Really appreciate you going through the estimate process!
I like seeing the business side. Interesting
I like this stuff so much better than made-for-youtube type projects!
Hey Robby !!! In the estimate ,did you include the labor for fixing the fender & hood alignment ?? Great video & can see why ""COLLISION INS"" is so high !! 👍👍👍👍👍
very nice Robby, that was very informative!
Alan from Yankum called, he’d like to speak with Matt about that shiny recovery dent remover strap he was using
That was quite interesting. Appreciate you taking the time to disassemble and explain. Also liked the peek at the estimating software and what tyou have to do with insurance companies. Thanks
Is it just me or are these videos more enjoyable than the endless build videos.
Different People like different things
Excellent. Thx for the clarification!
Just a suggestion for your Tools Robbie. Paint them Blue, that way you can identify them from others and not get mixed up or hopefully not "lost"..
Paint them “KING FRED BLUE” They will really STICK OUT!
This was a good one! There is more that goes into a estimate than one would think!
Brilliant Robby - really impressive to see how this is done.
Such a unique channel you got going Robby! The occasional auto body video is really interesting to see.
That square body Chevy pickup is one beautiful truck. Some lucky duck is going to be really happy!
The truck is giving away is not a square body, it's a 72, square bodies came out in '73.
Brilliant video and very eye opening thank you robbie
Worked in a body shop for years respect the builds you guys do keep up the good work 💪
Really enjoyed seeing what you do on for your actual job
Thanks for taking us through the process and why body work is so expensive. The choices the customer makes will be interesting.
Good To See You Living Your Best Life, The Boss is Beautiful
It would be a ice follow up to show what the insurance company comes back with and the process from then on. 'At least I would enjoy it. Thanks Layton Nation from Steeler Nation
Great job guys. Thank you 😊
That’s a nice truck!!!! Nice job taking that thing apart!✌️
Dude you're amping my anxiety up to the next level every time you say I'm going to do this... Then you say no I'm gonna do something else bro... He's like M .Night shyamalan with "The Twist"!
Great video Robby. Bodywork is Expensive, that’s for sure. 🤙😎
Great video. Makes you understand why repairs cost so much.
A Ranch Hand bumper only cost about $1850 and you will not have to worry about deer again
I like seeing the body shop stuff as much as I like the fab shop stuff.
Thank you! I learned a lot!
@4:53... Demri's fingernails look like Skittles! 😊😊 I like your Body/Repair videos.
When I hit a deer in my truck, I wish I had it professionally done, but even at 6K, it was too much for me. I love seeing just how much work goes into these jobs.
Very cool you showed the estimate process and the cost.
Robby, good video..., quick and informative, darn deer! could have been worse, thank goodness it was only that damage..
that was so cool to watch and so interesting
So cool to watch the process!
You are really good at auto body for sure. Many other things too ! Thanks for the entertainment
Perfect opportunity for an aftermarket front bumper
Great job, Robby.👍👍
These videos are great!
It’s crazy what you have to do, so you can do your job, and you do a nice job so that’s always a plus
You're the man !
I bet when Robby did see that video he was like "OH DEER!"... 😁😁😁
I can not believe $1800 for a headlight assembly. Love seeing you back to your history...😊😊😊😊
