- We bought a vehicle from a well known salvage auction and yet again there is undisclosed damage, the description is inaccurate and it is a non runner even though it was listed as 'engine runs' #crash #salvage #wrecked #repairing #rebuilding #crazy #robbery #auction

"All that extra damage, for no extra money."
Sounds like a quote for the next merch ?😊
How long until someone else says it 😅
Love how these two guys can joke in the face of adversity
Yeah love this quote..😂😂..definitely one to put out as merch
@@andrewgreen885 😂 Great suggestion.
I just love Chris’s laid-back attitude, nothing phases him. He has the patience of the Dalai Lama . !
'fazes' is the correct word.
@@graemecatty9921 You can make a comment yourself and use, whichever word you like !
the Buddha of banged up motors
@@neilstokescvwshrewsbury7939 He did, and he chose the correct spelling of the word fazes! (Pling or full stop - but never both.)
@@blackdoublezeroyou talking about Lepu?
Guys I like how honest and thorough you are, don’t change.
I can think of 2 people who still have integrity in the salvage game, you guys
A good smart guy can fix that roof . Like the guy who did the seats on the porsche I think, he re-painted them for you yea thats fixable . It's what I do I could fix that but I'm in Scotland . would cost you £75.00
Chris and Rob are two people in salvaged cars you can utterly TRUST in buying cars from...
2 Top A1 blokes....
AGREE 100%
100%
At 9:46 "We're gonna need a leg, an arm..." Chris just admitted that front corner will cost an arm and a leg!! I'll get my coat!. Seriously, that will make a great car for someone.
I love your comment " doesn't it sound lovely and I don't mean the hairdryer that's just gone past " another quality Rob comment 👏 👌
I was looking for this comment because, I was going to post it myself, it gave me a good chuckle 😁
Love the wheel barrow with the tools in , that's real , Old School. Cheers again lads .
U pull it Edinburgh have them lined up outside ready to go as soon as you arrive 👍
U pull its Fife no edinburgh awesome scrapies
Surprise Surprise Copart up to their old tricks again, Honestly don’t know why people keep buying from them, No1 their fee’s are terrible!!
Send her back to Copart and dispute about the images etc.
They'll take it back
@@Liam.......and sling it back in the ring to mug the next punter off
It might take months to sort out the back and forwards and the car will just be sitting there. Take it on the chin and be careful, if possible don’t buy without seeing. Just my opinion 🦌🦌🦌
@@kennethimpey9201copart have recently stopped view before Auction
It's a real shame that many folks have no integrity anymore , apart from Rob n Chris of course
Love Chris s positivity. That's why people want you to do well.
I used to work close to a well known UK salvage yard. The way they moved cars around was crazy, I reckon the drivers door was damaged with a fork lift. They just didn't care.
Well done on this one guys, I am sure you will make a beautiful car for some lucky owner.
The auction house should be ashamed as if this had been bought by an ordinary car person this could have been a total disaster.
I think you guys should start your own car auction business, you know cars inside out and seem very honest, I think you could do well especially with your already respected on line business!
All that extra damage for no extra money
Best way to look at it guys
You pays your money, you takes your chance. Seeing your face Rob and that fist bump tells us you’ve got your result. Well done. 😊
Can see Chris and his partner enjoying this little beauty this summer!
This will be another cracking few videos sorting this one out, can't wait. Rob, you said you've bought another couple of cars too, plenty of content to come then. This channel deserves to get to 500k subs, and it will. I've been watching since before Chris wanted to be on camera, but since he has, what a difference he's made. Absolutely brilliant content every time, keep doing what you're doing lads. 👏
To be fair. It makes for good content and shows what a good job you both do.
Always seems like these salvage yards are doing a lot of covering up these days good thing is that you guys are always completely honest & show all damage
its called maximizing profit, i stopped using eBay for similar reasons sellers covering things and sending items not as described, thankfully eBay have the buyer protection in place, but with these auctions its different and frustrating.
Man you guys are a joy to watch. I wish we had a duo like you lot here in the eastern US.
The roof is repairable, I had a guy who did mine a couple of years ago. He also did my leather seats on my old Saab.
Rob when you had them 2 croc clamps close together... after taking them off the bmw ...and the van batt on the other end 😮
Thanks!
Thank you John, that is very kind
I'm not a fan of BMW's but it's going to be awesome when it's had the SRUK treatment
Well done guys
Agree with Rob - one of best sounds is a BMW 6 - when that started up reminded me of every one I have had from e30 3series to e32/34 7's and 5's
Great blend of honesty and positivity, It really does make your heart feel better. There's a good reason I've been subscribed since the early days.
Great video guys, one of the best channels on UA-cam, keep up the great work!!!
Think you should put an extra video in this week showing the start of the build because I CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!!!!😂😂
With 45 thousand on the clock you have got a reasonable car. It would have been a really nice car if it was described correctly. Having said that I know you two will make it look really nice once again. A good honest video from two honest Gentlemen, not many left now it seems which is quite sad. 👍👍
I'm sure that roof can be repaired it's only small hole 💪🐸✌️
Yes I thought the same when Rob picked at it with his finger! “A stitch in time can save nine “ 🙏
Had so many like this recently, I actually declined a car on delivery last week and Copart refunded me which was lucky, as it had a smashed window and extra damage since the photographs. However they’ve relisted it with the exact same photos again so someone’s gonna have the same problem😂
They are good at taking the pictures I wrote a Focus off a few years ago. In the photos, the blown seat air bags were conveniently covered by the seat belts
You hit the nail on the head Rob very few honest folk left in the salvage game, thankfully you and Chris show how honest trading and repairing should be done, the rest are just quick bucks Dick Turpins 😂
Great video lads! Always wanted to repair/sell cars after watching you two, I finally took the gamble and bought one on co part! Description said runs and drives got it delivered and the head gasket was gone 😢now I have my first head gasket under my belt and as of today the car runs sweet as a nut! MOT on Friday and Will be up for sale. Many thanks for being an inspiration wouldn’t have took the gamble if it wasn’t for you two!
You just get better and better. Pure honest entertainment. I learn something mechanical every vid. Best wishes. From a 100% non techy!
".....and don't it sound lovely", great comedy timing, you ought to send that into Alan Partridge, he would love that😆😆😆👍
Hello Rob and Chris,(always so laid-back and chilled out!!) what a surprise to see the car moving about on four wheels and the engine sounds great! Now you have the parts needed to get this car turned around and sorted. Best wishes from Lincolnshire
Listening to the engine!!!!!!!
You couldn't hear it, it's so bloody smooth.
You guys will simply throw some of that magic Rob&Chris dust it it will be another beauty.
Rob and Chris,
Please never retire. Great fun the positive interactions between you even when some lying cheat has tried stitch you up. 10/10.
Old school what the motor trade used to be like, I hope this one is a success.
Love the way you guys work together.
Yeah, it turns out to be a basket case, but you just go on and move forward, and absolutely nothing go on unseen.
It's so lovely to see, that know-how, craftmanship and an eye for details get the finish back in everything you do.
Keep up that kind of work. In the end it pays of. Maybe not allways in money, but knowing that it's a hell of a good job done.
It takes real class to smile and say: "All that extra damage for no extra money"! Keep up the good work gents.
You're the only two people that can turn a nightmare into a sweat dream. Total respect.
This is going to turn out to be a lovely motor once it’s done. Glad to see you both smiling despite the lack of pics/info on it. Look forward to the rest of the series on this. Keep up the good work gents!
Pure entertainment. You both have the attitude of “lets just get on with it and do our best job”. You clearly love what you both do and it shows in your videos. The Ugly duckling will turn into a beautiful Blue swan 💪👌👍🏻
That previous owner has been a panel beater not long enough, Rob. 🙈😁 You two are Lone Rangers in a world of cowboys. At least the Beemer ended up with the right guys. 👍👍
9:27 rack end or tie rod. The track rod end is the bit with the ball joint. Every day a school day eh?
I’ve had two cars from Copart, both disasters. C5 V6 diesel, I’d spoken to the previous owner and knew the damage. Suspension on delivery was buggered and it had to be rebuilt at £1500 cost. Next car, DS3, clearly had wheels and tyres swapped before it was delivered to me. And costs - through the roof!
What a great watch you two guys are. Your knowledge and ability with cars is truly amazing.
Rob and Chris
You to guys have to be the most down to earth people iv seen
You never have a bad word to say about anything or anyone
Good luck ☘️to you
You soon bounced back from the disappointment, love your enthusiasm
You are both consistently straight and honest, and I can't help but being incredibly impressed by your unvarying standards of repair and fair prices. If I was in the market for a replacement car, you would be my first choice. Well done indeed.
I had a four year old 323i straight six E30 back when my children were very young. The engine was utterly smooth and quite superbly quiet. Still one of the best engines I’ve ever had almost over the last forty years and thirty odd cars…
You can't expect everyone to be as honest as you two lads. Well done, you guys 😊
These dodgy auction houses need to be accountable …if this was a straight car on a pitch for sale with undisclosed faults/damage they’d be taken to the cleaners! DESPICABLE BEHAVIOR!!
yes! love robs face when he turns the key and she starts right up like a little kid at xmas!! great vids!!!
robs a gem getting all those parts.
Good example of the risks of buying a salvage car at auction - seems like a complete lottery. Probably best left to the professionals like SRUK who are able to adapt to the situation if thinks don't turn out as expected! Looks like this one still has potential and will be put back togther to your usual high standards.
I agree, you two can spin that around, piece of cake 👍👍
I wish I had these guys skills, so talented
Yet another brilliant video. After the initial shock it’s great to see how Rob & Chris brainstorm to find the best workarounds. Fantastic channel and really great content. Top blokes 👍
Wow rob i am visually impaired wonder if theres any jobs going at that auction place lol keep up the great videos
Chris and Rob. Please don't change a thing. For those of us ex- pats around the world it is lovely to hear the waffle and banter.
It’ll turn out fine with you guys sorting it. I cringed tho when Rob held those two jumper leads in one hand when I assume the other ends were still connected to the battery in the van. 😱
Beautiful job will be a great fix as always with SRUK😊
Loved this one, Rob. Thank you.
Poor old Chris is always the test pilot😂😂
Love Chris's attitude to the extra free damage. Until you guys drove it I wondered if it was another fail but looks like this could be a good un. Nice one.
These are the type of videos I enjoy, also I feel others can relate and it is with grasp of many. Nice
Love your sense of humor Chris and both your positive attitude
I just had a stolen recovered mini delivered from Copart Rochford by my own arranged transport , arrived with a badly damaged bonnet that in the Copart auction photos was perfect !! Of course Copart have decided that it is not their responsibility . So new bonnet required at £700 including paint .
"....and I aint on about the 'air-dryer that just went past" - made me proper chuckle. Hat-tip to whomever was ringing the life out of the hair-dryer, go on son.
Excellent video and to be fair Rob - it does sound awesome. Just the right time of year coming up for it as well. Someone is going to get a lovely motor. 😊
Lads you’ll soon get your money back and I wouldn’t be surprised if you managed a bit more due to the low mileage and your craftsmanship which is always on point looking forward to the next video on this lads well done 👍
Good morning Rob and Chris, another great video, so much progress in such a short time. Looking forward to the next instalment.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Another little gem there guys, despite the extra work!, I can see that going quite quickly!! 👍
Great video, Rob and Chris 👍
Copart should be re branded Conpart, there are so many buyers in your position guys.....poor pictures and damage from the loaders and seemingly no comeback. I know you have to be careful what you say but it isn't right. Anyway, going to watch the video now 👍
Ive been a subscriber for ages & youve touched on something Ive been thinking. I have often thought of buying a repaired car but I wouldnt trust it had been repaired to an acceptable standard, never mind going above and beyond like you guys.
One of my old cars went on copart after was written off ,pictures showed quarter of tank I filled it up day of crash and all 4 wheels were different cos had new tyres all round must have some right crooks working for them
Best of luck with all the ongoing projects there now 👍👍👍
You guys are brilliant you just take it on the chin and get on with it,well done and keep up the great work.
Big respect for you guys
Work your magic lads…..love this show
Nice car, sounds lovely. I'm not normally a fan of BMW but that one appeals. Can't wait to see how you get on with it 👍
Disappointing for you with all that extra work to do, but a bonus for us to watch! You will make it perfect, as always. 👍
Love the positivity. As you boys say, you take the rough with the smooth, that's life and we learn from being taken for a mug, hopefully.
Nice model Rob and just the right time of year for it. Hopefully you will at least break even or possibly get a little drink out of it! I think you already know this is my favourite channel 🙏👍
`Years ago I went to buy a Pug estate from Raw2K in HFD the pics showed car mint as an non insured police car. When I arrived to pick it up they fork lifted it and tipped it into the next car then bought it round and the driver slammed the brakes on and the car slide off the forks from about 3 foot off the floor and the two tyres myside blew out. I was speechless. Last time I ever used them. Cowboys.
Well done yet again Rob, that will be a lovely motor when done.
Surprised you got caught out rob with all your experience. 😮
This will be a quick turnaround and a sweet motor🎉
I would watch the rest before you say that 👍
Should be called the positive show with Rob and Chris even when faced with a lemon!. Love the word of the day.....Tadge. All the best.
Another cracking video,keep them coming.
as always enjoyed the video guys love to watch you two doing these cars pulling them straight great
Brilliant guy's well done
I would go back to them.... Especially if you have the description.... As a regular buyer... It's also remind said companies..that full disclosure is legally required at sale wether auction or other....
Nice looking motor, look forward to see the end result.👍👍👍
Perfect timing on the sound of the engine 😂😂😂
thanks Guys for your honesty, sometimes even you get caught out,, will be interesting to see how the numbers stack up, am sure you will turn it around and turn a smaller than the "auction place" pictures suggested, you would think even "Auction" places should have obligation to give honest description please share the pictures you saw when buying,,
It's a beautiful car and perfect for the long hot summer we will enjoy this year - hopefully!
