Auto Body Repair 101 (Understanding the basics)

The first step to collision repair is understanding what happens to metal when it is bent or damaged. Work hardening is a contributing factor to a lot of frustration for repair technicians.

I swapped careers from auto technician to body tech. I just want you to know your videos have been extremely helpful for me. Keep up the good work! I appreciate your time and effort!

I'm in college for collision repair and thought I'd see if I can pick up anything extra. This definitely helped man.

Easily the best career for vehicles. Would much rather do paint and collision repair than mechanic. Excellent vid man

Nowadays most repair shops won’t even repair that though just buy a new fender. Most of these new body guys are just part replacement technicians

You're probably a decent guy in this field, too bad so many aren't

*AUTO BODY TAINING SOLUTIONS I have a question: For example when a vehicle/car has been rear ended by a tractor trailer truck (hitting one side of the rear bumper) cracking the bumper / ripping off one of the tail lights aka brake lights and smashing the rear quarter QUESTION ONE (1) What are other possible issues that are likely to have occurred to the vehicle that the naked eye and non mechanics/non body shop specialists would not be aware of* *could yah list the guestimate price for each repair including the obvious repair/replacement of the bumper, tail light and rear quarter panel*

I did few panels and I made same mistakes just like you said in this video😂

Hello Sir, just wanted to ask what is the best source of information to find the body dimensions when working on a frame rail that is out of alignment ?

[robertjustis]

You can park on the side with the ups mailbox. I have to wait on the ups guy.

[juliomarquez]

Is auto body and collision repair the same?

[MrZimmaframe]

I hear a lot of this is wrong but not a lot of this is how you do it right..

I am in this program that is going to pay for my schooling. I'm thinking of either going to auto body mechanic class or ac and heating. Any suggestions?
