@ChevyDude Dude you’ve got to stick with GM. I worked myself for 2 Chevy Dealers starting in 1969 as a parts salesman and the worked my way up to a parts manager. They put food on my family table for all those years. And you are talking about you are wanting a Chevrolet Franchise Dealership. How is that going to look on you if you go out and purchase anything other than a GM product. Just saying! B

That’s why DONT ever buy pre-owned vehicle s. Always buy NEW!!! just coming off the transport!! I never a fan of buying used vehicles. Nevertheless some people just can’t swing for new so you take a chance I’m afraid lol. I wouldn’t buy that truck lol

2024 shop: You got a scrape on your door, sure we can fix it no problem for $77,000.

As someone who worked in a body shop for three and a half years, body shops are required by law to recalibrate sensors on vehicles 2008 and newer. It's not a scam. It's the law.

Five years ago, you were talking about how good the Chevy truck was with all their aluminum movable parts now this

I remember the commercial where they trashed ford for using aluminum on their bodies first. Talk about hypocrisy

The funny part about you not wanting bondo is that when they actually change the side panel, bondo is used at the weld points. And yes the shop is correct, once the blind spot and 360 camera is disconnected, to ensure they work properly, they need to be recalibrated

Apunds like he was trying to save pennies now just for him to cost him dollars later

The more technology packed behind body panels and a minor hit takes place, the more expensive it is to fix. Which makes insurance more expensive on newer cars than older cars.

Yes they do have to reprogram all the ads systems. When I bought my used 2021 Tacoma, the dealership I bought it from missed during the certified pre-owned inspection that the rear bumper was broken off on one side and I noticed it after the blind spot monitoring wasn’t working. Then they figured out that the bumper caps were the wrong one as well which is another reason why that wasn’t working. Luckily the dealership made it right and didn’t charge me the $8,000 dollars to fix the issues they missed.

Exactly why I love my old LLy Duramax!! Love watching your channel all the way from near the Portland Oregon area.

He is correct on price I had an accident a year ago and hit a Trail Boss with my Ram 4x4 and the damage was in the same place and it was right at 15 grand in damage plus damage to my Ram. Been driving over 40 years and never had an accident well that was my 1st and I was at fault. Blinded by the early morning sun I did not see the guy. That is what Insurance is for in my case.

Don’t feel so bad or beat yourself up. I did the same thing at a local restaurant here in Corpus Christi and I locked the post onto the bed and the second door. I had to lock it in the four-wheel-drive to get it off the post.

this guy sounds like a use car sales man

When Carvana brought my brothers Honda and I had Covid, they paid $16,000 for an 08 with like 30,000 miles on it. They walked around him and left.

As a bodyman myself, there is so much wrong with this video. The whole uniside will not be changed, just the cab corner. Some vehicles once torn down have to be reprogrammed and some just need the codes cleared. $100/hour?!?!?!?! Down here in Louisiana we are struggling to get from 60/hr to 65/hr. Sounds like shops are trying to ream you a new one if you know what I mean....

I was a collision shop estimator for 20 years. I have been retired for 6 years. The part is probably sold as a uniside but in any estimating software system sectioning times are given. Granted I have been out of it for 6 years, but $15,000 sounds extreme. I would be thinking more like $6-7,000.

@dave1956 I apologize I didn't add that. Yes it is still sold as an assembly but won't be installed that way. Yes it gives the time to change it which I don't remember the hours but I wanna say somewhere around 10 hours or so. If you change the whole side you'll have to remove the edges if the roof, back wall of the cab, and remove the front door and fender and hinges

It's basically a blue Bud Light beercan .....

I have an SRT Jeep 475HP stock, I've got a Botla attack exhaust and an Afe intake and should be right around 500HP. It's a blast to drive. Good luck finding something fun to drive.

I always park the same way. Far away and away from other cars. I’ve been guilty of goofing up just like you!

Similar damage here in Boston…..they told me the same stuff about the sensors on the bumper have to be calibrated…..maybe there’s something here to why insurance is going up so Much.

I feel your pain. Had a man back into me put a dent in my bumper and a silver dollar dent in the fender by the bumper. I got quotes of 4k to fix it. Replace bumper and remove bed to fix dent then paint the whole side of bed. Found out ford uses a three piece bumper and I could reach the dent with a body hammer. Cost of bumper piece is 134 bucks. Putting off repairs since no backup sensors are out alignment and I have time/money to fix it.

Last year some Luddite turned their wheel too soon while backing out and caused similar damage on my Equinox. Nowhere near $15k but still way more expensive than I had ever imagined. Explains why I see so may beat up cars driving around these days!

You did not say if Carvana actually paid 52k for the truck. Although 15k seems like a lot for that damage but I have always thought body shops really over price everything.

It doesn't take much...I have a '23 Sierra and a month ago, someone tried to pull out in front of me and make a left turn without looking. I slammed on my brakes and maybe hit the minivan going about 5mph. I hit her in the front driver's side wheel. At first, it didn't look bad, just a few dents in the steel part of the front bumper, a scrape on the plastic part of the bumper, and the bottom plastic trim had some gouges in it. Also, inside the truck, my stuff flew off the front seat and damaged the speaker grill in the bottom part of the door. $3100 later (going to be charged to the other lady's insurance, thank God), my truck is fixed. Got a new bottom bumper trim by the tow hooks, new steel bumper, and the upper trim part of the bumper right below the grill was repainted. The biggest shocker was the speaker grill on the inside passenger door. Apparently GM doesn't just make the speaker cover...you have to replace the entire door panel (which that is on backorder) at a cost of $609 plus labor because it is one piece. I'm glad it's not my insurance taking the hit for this. Only took about 4 days to fix, so relatively minor.

I’ve bought and now own 3 Toyotas in the last five years. I thought I found a brand to be loyal to, but my second, 2018 Tacoma with only 46k miles that I bought in 2021, now has a DTC that will cost $7k to repair. I do still $4k on the 3rd, so trading in the Tacoma for an even swap could be an option.

Man, you need to get in contact with V tune. He's a KZreadr. Does awesome work that's easy for him.

Bro gone get a Bolt to troll us.

I park like that too, far from everyone and against a curb. Luckily I haven't hit the side of my car on anything, just curbed the wheels a couple of times! 😂

@Chevy Dude: Sorry to see this Mike. It happens to all of us. Will you be buying another truck? What is your opinion on the Canyon AT4?

Oh wow I can't believe how much that lil ding would of costed u it's crazy how expensive lil damage would cost to get repaired it's crazy how much things cost on all these newer vehicles they dman sure don't make em like they use to. And the lil easter egg u left on the valve stems was freaking perfect!!!

🙋🏾‍♂️guilty of same injury to my wife’s SUV. I feel you. She loves her SUV, though, so we fixed it (out of pocket) and kept it.

You should get a TRX, or a HELLCAT Durrango\Cherokee. 707+ HP fun!

So you were in the Pittsburgh area. I am like a 40 minute drive from the city and I barely ever go. Last time I was out at night in the city someone keyed my truck.

most likely can sell that door to someone that will fix it. also try to find a salvage door of the same color and it will save a lot on the repair bill. most of the cost then would be in the cab corner and the bed side.

Aluminum can be melted and used to patch right ?

Durango SRT...

Made the same mistake leaving a house party at 18 years old 😂 it was a fence post and I didn’t want to drive on homeowners lawn and other vehicles were blocking an easy exit. More than 20 years later I’d say F your lawn I’m out of here.

Pls make more KZread videos. Really enjoy them

Man, I feel bad for you, I did the same thing to my 2004 tundra and it only cost about 1000 to repair.

Mike! You get yourself some Alumaweld sticks, a grinder, a can of matching spray paint, and voila! Trucks were made to be dented and dinged anyway in the real world.

While newer trucks seem to dent more easily you gotta remember that even though it was slow the truck is heavy and moving under power. So damage can happen easy.

I remember the chevy commercial where they were clowning on ford for using aluminum on their bodies only for chevy to start using aluminum on their trucks as well. Seeing that door, a chevy truck st my dealer with the hood sliced and the recall where chevy truck food are splitting it looks like chevt it's eating its own words

Well also how much your willing to spend is a factor in what type of daily driver you would want, I would say from riding in multiple nice cars the most comfortable yet quick cars have been BMW's and Audi's. My favorite being the RSQ8.

Once you file claim it will go on a Carfax & AutoCheck as vehicle will have report of an accident & will lower value a bit. It will take up to 120 days to get on report so you can sell it before then.

Been there, Done that to my Maserati Gran Turismo. Parked catty wampus in my garage. Started baking out hit garage door pillar, 1 mph accident. $3,000.00 worth of damage for a very minor scrape. Everything got to come off to repair a scratch. $1000.00 for a small can of paint. Whattttt?????

Get a BMW X5 xDrive40i with the M Sport package. Lightly used, but loaded. One of the best SUVs out there. If that's not enough power (keep in mind BMW understates their numbers... And it has launch control), you can step up to the X5M. Also, do yourself a favor and get one that has the Driving Assistance PRO package (adaptive cruise).

You could find a low mileage Trackhawk.

A Little bondo and some duct tape should fix it!😂😂

That's painful to look and I know it hurts the soul. But go to the junkyard, get a door and the trim piece. Bend out the bedside. Paint to match. There is fixing to "new" standard, fixing to very close to new, fixing to okay, and fixing to run standards of repair. If course I keep my cars 10 years and don't change them like I do my socks. Economically, that is generally much more beneficial. Still, with Carvana's offer that wasn't a bad move.

These new luxury trucks are extremely expensive in general and expensive to fix. That damage on my truck could be fixed for probably under 500 with me doing the work. Crazy!

Question: was that truck titled in your personal name or dealerships name?

500HP SUV? SRT or Trackhawk Jeep GC would be cool 🔥

Did they give you a check like they advertise they will do?

If you want a daily go get yourself a SS they`re still great to drive 10 years since they were first made I own the Aussie version with a few minor mods and it`s a great car

the ADAS has to be reprogrammed and recalibrated if they remove the part as even 1/4 inch can render it not reliable so they recalibrate it to make sure it works right was the same on our kenworth truck u get the windshield replaced all the ADAS needs to be recalibrated and that is not a warranty item from paccar ......and another reason i like my classic 90s ranger

15k seems high. Our shop is under $70 an hour and I’m pretty you don’t need to reprogram those systems on Chevy. And from what I see fixing the cab is still an option or section a piece in. I like fixing bc it’s way less invasive which translates to less rust issues down the road.

You should self pay to fix the truck. Built into the high repair price for a repair on an insurance claim is a premium for the continued negotiation and chasing the insurance company payment.

I don't like jeeps or really any domestic brand cars. But a trackhawk of some kind sounds fun

I did what I thought was about $800 in damage to the front fender trim and front bumper on my 2012 Tocoma, it turned out to be $2000.
