In this video I help Miss Marie fix up her Civic. She smacked a raccoon on her way to work in the early hours of the morning. She didn’t think it did much damage but a few miles down the road the car started to overheat and she knows enough from being in the shop to pull over and shut it off!! Let’s see if we can get her car back on the road.
(F.Y.I. body work is way out of my wheel house so go easy on me in the comments.) -Enjoy!

Super-raccoon can stop a moving car with a single paw. <THUD>
Good time to invest in a spot welder LOL
good deal all around
Just saw this video from like 6 yrs ago. They probably would not like to do it. But it would be cool to if you interviewed both of your assistants and see how they are doing and if anything they learned while working with you helped them in all the years past. Just an idea.
always a great result with honest appraisal
keep them coming eric o from randy welch
Was that a groundhog or a raccoon? 🦠😂
Hey from Saskatoon Saskatchewan, Canada 🇨🇦 I think for someone who doesn’t normally do body work you did a great job on her car , well done 🙌ðŸ‘🤗🇨🇦
Eric, you did good all around. Hats off for a job well done and you helped the young lady out tremendously.
Now I have to go buy a strawberry sundae.
