    Both of you have your own different specialties, everybody says how good chris is ,which he is without a doubt ,but you make the channel come together and make it work Rob . Well done to you both .

      @eco-advisor Год назад +8

      So true, I have this thought every time I read the comments. Both of you are really talented guys. Your skills complement each other.

      Well said. Chris & Rob have a great partnership, and their different skills complement one another. Hands down my favourite channel. 👏👏👏

      @xdave83 Год назад +6

      So glad to read this. Absolutely right - Rob clearly knows his stuff too and the standout of this channel is the pair of them working together.

    Chris is one person I would buy a repaired car from. His attention to detail is expert, expert, expert in every sense of the word. I've seen many repaired cars over the years, and the work on those has been abismal to say the least. Chris is brilliant at the body/structure repairs he performs.

    • @brianwhelan9425

    8:20 Rob tells Chris "You've nailed it mate". And I thought he'd welded it... 😆

    Same from me as the other comments.
    Chris is incredibly talented and so is Rob. Complimentary skills.
    Workmanship is consistently outstanding 👍

  • @johndavey72
    @johndavey72 Год назад +1

    Said it before ,but Chris reminds me of me . I would never , ever , except anything less than top drawer when repairing cars and although retired l still hold those values when restoring mine ,or anyones classic car . Thanks Rob.

  • @tony302coupe6
    @tony302coupe6 Год назад +1

    Without taking anything away from Chris, the two of you bring your own skill set to the table. I think some of the American body guys could learn a thing or 2 watching you guys. 100% top quality workmanship/ workpersonship😊

    Chris, Rob, over the years I have learned so much from you both in what to look out for etc etc. Today my good lady wanted me to look over a 16 plate polo advertised at a garage. So we popped along to have a look. OMG. They wanted 9k for a 54k mileage car. The front end had been replaced both wings and bonnet were a different shade, headlights were loose and the gaps on the panels were GAPs. The list of faults was endless. So we walked away. It amazed me, what was on offer , the condition and the price. So thank you to you both, for giving us all, some idea of what to look out for.

  • @john-peters
    @john-peters Год назад +1

    When I see ‘professionally repaired’ on used cars, i expect it to be as good as you guys’ work. Never is though 😂

  • @phonotd
    @phonotd Год назад

    Chris deserves praise for his excellent work and skills, but so does Rob for a different set of skills that complements those of Chris and makes for a great team. When Rob and Chris salvage a vehicle, you can be assured it will be as good as new, if not better.

  • @gonecywers
    @gonecywers Год назад +1

    There are a lot of people in your part of the U.K. and beyond, who truly benefit from the fruit of yours and Chris's labour in the vehicles that you turn out. The repair work is always a prime example of what should be done, and I envy those who are the purchasers of your vehicles, as they end up with a fully sorted unit, repaired as it should be, all for a typically low price. Thank you guys for showing us all your integrity, and for entertaining us with your skills and the fun you appear to have in doing what you do.

    I think Chris highlights the actual skill involved, sometimes you can appreciate why insurance companies write off vehicles that don't look that bad.

    @alansorbie4038 Год назад +1

    Nice to see the boot seal being checked. I bought a 2 year old E Class from a main dealer and had problems with the boot filling with water which ruined a lot of ECUs and electrical stuff. I think it may have had a minor bump before I bought it and the boot seal wasn’t refitted properly. I’m glad that Mercedes sorted it and replaced all the water damaged components. Not a bill I’d have wanted to pay myself!

    It's either factory finish or better than factory finish with you guys. You deservedly have earned a massive amount of trust with your consistently high end repairs. I would not have the slightest hesitation in buying a vehicle from you. Thanks for great content guys.

  • @georgedaville4662
    @georgedaville4662 Год назад

    Every one of these videos showing how the car is repaired is a great learning moment for all the tricks and repair techniques Chris uses from his extensive repertoire. Another fantastic A1 repaired vehicle back on the road 👍🇬🇧😎

    @gdfggggg Год назад

    I reckon what would get some great views is Chris and Rob should swap roles. Maybe over a few months, Chris teaching Rob how to do the practical stuff and Rob teaching Chris how to manage the website and all that business, and showing the process. At the end Rob does a car ie, a bit of chassis work/spraying etc on his own and Chris does the editing etc etc (see what I did there?). What’s reckon?

  • @richardjones5255
