    I started in the business in 75 , and I did the same thing bought all the nasty , dented cars other dealers didn't want . Fixed them right made them nice . And made a great living . Every one wants to flip with no work , not gonna happen . Be passionate about what you do , serve your customers well and your on your way.

      Thats the issue anymore.. No honesty. No hard word.. People just want fast, easy cash.. If something is listed with "As Is" and doesnt list any issues (not just cars, anything ) I usually skip right over it... I was a seller of antiques, collectables and tools... If something wasn't perfect I would always be upfront and mention it in the ad a few times.. then throw as is in there.. fair is fair

    • @jpcheco
      @jpcheco 3 роки тому

      Yes, some people consider that checking an doing brakes are more important than say, pressure washing the carpets. The reason is that lives are involved, and that we arecsure Mike would agree.
      Same for checking the fluids. That car could have been low on oil... the emphasis was more on the aesthetics....
      He was dealing with a returning customer... that is gettin a car for a child, a most dear person.
      What about at least blowing off the engine compartment??
      We are talking about a few more dollars for doing a thorough job, and about a satisfaction that comes together with a better business reputation.
      Any way, it is his business and we have to respect his way of doing things.

To be able to do that kinda work and be budget minded about it is one of a kind. The cleaning and the repair on the rear quarter were perfect for this flip. The magic of UA-cam took care of the body filler, sanding, and primer but it kept the video short enough and gave us a complete story. Great job Weird Beard, wish I lived closer so I could buy one of your flips.

    Great video. Just one small suggestion, I feel like a short clip of sanding and adding body fillers will be great content. All the previous body works are done by pullers not hammers. I really like to see how we can hammer those quarter panel out, sanding and add body fillers. Most of the people do not have welding machines.
