I found the reason they totaled this 2020 RAV4 XSE hybrid with minor damage... 

When you go to the extremes that you do to fix what you can’t see when complete speaks volumes on your attention to detail… another fantastic build…👏👏👏

Scott, you do you. That's what people are here for. Edit: ME likey when you tell folks to move on if they don't like what you do!

I think that was my friends car. Her and her daughter were in Texas looking for a house and were about to drive back to California when a kid texting and driving rear-ended her at about 60 miles per hour. The insurance company totalled it and she left it in Texas.

I recently found your channel. You are a true auto artist. At 63 yrs old I have seen a lot. But watching the complexity of just a Rav4 hatch is amazing. Please keep up the Copart/ Scammer videos. Best D.

I really appreciate your "Public Service Announcement" during this video!! Well spoken. I have the same philosophy as you do with how people think of how I do things. I learn a LOT from watching this channel. Thank you for your skills and RU-vid time.

I greatly appreciate your videos! I am a Veteran that uses your videos for anxiety relief. Thank you, and keep up the great work!

I don't know why your channel doesn't have over a million subs. The commentary alone is worth a fallow.

You know, you keep calling yourself lazy but you're a pretty hard-working dude. Always enjoy the content, thanks for taking the time to share it.

Scott thank you for taking the time always. Different than your norm. Have a great weekend. Stay safe and be well!

Best builds on the Tube! Technically he removes 100% of the damage and builds it back to OEM. Unbelievable how good it looks coming back together considering the damage it had. Keep up the Great Quality work Scott!!!

I would buy a rebuild if I knew it was repaired by someone with your skills. As your video's have shown, some repairs are not done correctly. Great channel with great content. Ps. Haters just gotta hate.... :)

This is art ! I admire people who can work miracles like this. I'm not stupid but I wouldn't know where to start ! Good job !

You do great work. I have no complaints about how you do things. You are funny as hell!

Nice work, Scott! My sister has been working on the RAV4 Hybrid assembly line in Georgetown, Kentucky since 2020.

Before watching these two videos, I thought auto body repair was magic. After watching these two videos, I still do.

Hey Victor... We are all happy to wait 3 months. We watch your videos for general learning not because we all have a wrecked Rav4 in our garage we need to get done! Theese are quality rebuilds. I wouldn't hesitate buying a vehicle from you Victor. I have had my car done in garage where bolts gets destroyed by machine over tiding clutch work with gear oil leakages. I took my car rear damage to a toyota workshop in denmark when I lived there.. the bumper fell off while driving out of the parking lot. Truth is quality work is very hard to find these days.

Hello Scott. Been watching your channel for over 2 years, and I think that the reason I keep watching is your honesty and salcasum. Love it! Thanks for the wisdom you provide and of curse, for taking the time to make such wonderful videos.

probably the only rebuild channel that repairs correctly keep up the good work

Watching for “THE REASON”, and also because I appreciate Scott’s work.

Don’t care when you put out your builds. More than worth waiting for. Love your content.

Awesome job as usual, love the videos, take all the time you need, enjoy watching the videos and seeing the repair process.

The award ceremony brought a little tear to my eye very touching thank you 😊

Awesome work!!!! It is great to see the details you so eloquently explain. Love your videos keep them coming.

I have been watching your videos for a couple of years and you do awesome work.I would buy one of your rebuilds and feel confident that it was done right.

Favorite part of the week is boring build Friday

Sounds like you need a bottle for whiner's tears to go along with the hater's tears! I have the patience to wait otherwise I'd have stopped watching Project Binky on Bad Obsession Motorsports...that one started 8+ years ago! Great work as always and keep the videos coming!

Your attention to detail is amazing.

You doing what you want with your videos makes me happy. So keep doing what you want please!

love your videos, comments and your brilliant work! thanks for bringing this beautiful toyota back to life!!! keep up the great job!

Great video, I love the dry wit in the commentary, e.g. the impact driver that identifies as a torque wrench :)

“You can’t please everyone, so you got to please yourself.” From my favorite Rick Nelson song Garden Party.

6:52 TBH, I came for the Mustang Project, and stayed for the talent. Thanks, dude.

one of the best rebuild ch's on youtube by far. dude has a school if people take advantage of it start out small and always remember if it looks to good to be true it is and if you luck out walk away next time b4 its more than you got to fix it.

Love the Sarcasm & the Public Service Announcement which was so thoughtful of you, keep up the good work Scott to keep us all entertained 👍

Another great video to kick off the Holiday Weekend! Love all the snarky digs!

I love watching you and your attitude I'm 80 years young and I've been fixing things all my life I'm like you if you don't like the way I do it go away. Take your time do it right the first time then move on to a new one. Keep up the good work.

Love all the work you do, and the Master of ceremony for body work. I have patience anything worth watching is worth waiting for cheers

Please keep bringing us videos of you doing things exactly how AND when you want to do them!!! I'm patiently waiting for and looking forward to videos of your work on the mustang.

It’s your channel and people aren’t happy about having to wait for builds. Can’t please everyone and I love your videos!!!

Scott, whenever you explain your procedure and identity the different parts it helps me be aware of all your builds. well done

When my ex ld Focus was written off by an 82 year old who rear ended it, it took over 2 months to sort the claim, as said old coot could not read or write, and never comtacted his insurers, I was in a rental the whole time, and in the end my insurers paid up, then sued the old giffer for their losses.

I'm happy just to see it because you make a good job of what you work on along with your gnomes.

Take no notice of div’s you do great job dude love it,respect from Waterville Ireland 🇮🇪

I run a collision shop and it's unreal how long some cars are sitting around waiting for parts. It's not uncommon to have car's sitting here for 3-4 months or more and like you mentioned it comes to a point where the insurance company will just total a vehilce out due to rental costs.

7 minutes in ,,, an award ceremony and a PSA !! You kill mr Scott. Great stuff brother.

Beautiful job, I'm ready to watch more, thank you.

For the curious: totaled because parts are taking months to arrive.

I haven’t been able to see a couple of your latest vids. Sorry about that, but now I’m binge watching!

Love your PSA's. You can't please everyone, so why they. Also appreciate your sarcastic humor. Keep up the good work!

I agree your attention to detail is amazing and as I said in the past id never hesitate buying a car you repaired, that said the sarcasm is the best

I just love your PSA! GREAT Channel!

So nice of you to hold off 3 months on the release of this video just for my attention span. Such nice work.

Hey Scott. Do you remember big heavy STEEL bumpers all covered with chrome? Then, there was the 5 mph crash resistant bumpers with little shock absorbers. Now they are all "cool looking" cheap plastic and if you look cross eyed at them, they shatter. It's time to "pony-up" another $1000.

Good evening Scott from Ireland, sitting waiting for the football to start (soccer to Americans) so I thought I’d see how the rebuild is going, I’m sure there’s plenty people on here realise that after you doing the repair they will get a much better auto than what left the factory, hope you never change your channel I’d be happy just listening to you explaining why you put so much effort into your job, for every troll there’s thousands who love your work and your humour, keep us entertained and educated please,

Great job, as usual. Watching you maneuver the rear floor and side pans back into shape was interesting, and from limited personal experience, much more difficult than how you made it appear. Takes skill to get metal back to where it once was, and needs to be. Have you ever tried your hand a paintless dent repair? Watching your metal working skills I have to believe you'd be very successful at it.

Outstanding I especially enjoyed the PSA. Subbed!

Beast part of this channel, no namby pamby B.S.!!! Just straight forward... get it done and let's move on with life. 👍💪

Very nice job I love to see people like you doing super job I lot to learn I want to see video like this thanks

I'm very happy that you're making yourself happy!!

Thoroughly enjoyed this build. Can you explain how you know when you need to do stress release on panel repair and when you don’t? By the way, I thought your use of cardboard as masking for spraying primer was brilliant. I look at all the time you saved applying tape & masking paper everywhere, it’s a win-win. Thanks again for the continued progress videos. Also anything you post is timely. No one knows your schedule better than you do. Have a great weekend Scott!

What great talent you have. True artisan. Thank you for sharing.

I don't mind waiting for good repairs. I do enjoy the mustang project. Having restored my 66 when I was a kid it took 8 years to restore. Ill wait for your mustang. It's like a fine wine better with age. Keep up the awesome work

I'm glad I stumbled upon your channel, you humor is awesome, don't get me wrong, I like to watch the work on the cars too, but you bust me up pretty good. Keep doing what you do, I'm subscribed and eagerly awaiting the next one.

Great video again Scott thanks for sharing

Incredible work you do!!! Thanks for sharing!!

As always you do a great job Scott! Who cares wh what other are upset about, they can try an do what you do lol, keep up that awesome work!

Very nice job. You make it look so easy. Thanks Scott.

I’m not in body repair business but like learning from what seems to a very skilled and ethical person. My son a I are wanting to start working on our 1975 K10. It’s going to need patch panels and I don’t have the experience. I keep watching Scott, but would you agree that lacking experience is too much to overcome. Anyway, really enjoy watching a pro work!!

Great video, with a Mustang mention as a bonus! Keeping our Mustang hopes alive.

We are happy happy happy thanks Scott!

The PSA was appreciated. I didn't know, nor did most of the 'experts", I'm sure.

Another great build. No tears from me, keep rocking it your way. :)

Well it does constitute a monetary loss for the insurance company when the parts aren't available. My mothers car has been in the shop since November 2021 and she's had a rental this entire 6 months.

Hi Scott. My favorite thing to watch. Thanks.

No complaints. Always great videos and content.

It amasses me how you remember where every thing goes great jod sa always.

Multi-dimensional entertainment, bit of everything, thanks again Scott!

Scott-always good to see that hammer work! It amazes me that the metal is such thin gauge. Oh well, I am from a different long ago generation. All those snaps etc- You do brilliant work, so nice to see how you follow up on your perfection. Rich

Love these videos scott, very educational, you make it look so damn easy, keep these videos a comin.

Love following your work!

Totally enjoy these videos!

Make sure to use the original nuts on that heatshield because they are specifically designed to make it rust around them so the entire heatshield can fall onto the muffler and rattle like the car us coming apart. It’s an important feature on a Toyota.

Nicely done Scott! I am certain that is the most over stuffed hatch lid I have ever seen, I don't believe they could have physically fit anything else in it.

Live the PSA, keep doing what you do. I like your video's.

Wow! You must be really low on haters tears today. I have no idea why anyone would get upset about what someone they've never met did in a RU-vid video. Keep the shade coming. It's very entertaining.

That’s awesome about just doing what you want…and you are 100% correct. Great video.

"I can't make everybody happy, so I just do what I want" Scott, you have just described about year 20 of marriage LOL!!

I like that there's a lot of screws in that shield.. so it doesn't fly off at the first little thing you scrape it on.

Looks like you know what you're doing that's for sure I've done the same kind of work however you make it look easy hopefully someday I'll be able to find another Builder and do another one right now everybody wants some way worse than I do I hope your batteries and everything is all good with that hybrid

More solid progress!!!

I am saving my wrecked 2014 f150 ( front end ) to repair . I hope you get one soon so I can some knowledge .Thx for the vid. - Ken

You did a great job of rebuilding this vehicle. As for waiting three months for a tailgate door I get that. I had bought a new Lexus RX450h and not even a month later someone rear ended me and totally punched big holes in the rear lift-gate door. It took four months to get a new one from the factory since they had not actually manufactured extra parts for repairs since they were still building the new line of cars. I was not happy but I could still drive it and since it was new it was hard for them to total a 60K vehicle. Still once they did get the door and got it into the shop to repair it when it came back out you would not know it had been crunched or replaced.

and they said it couldn't be done nice job you make it look easy thanks for the video

Best PSA I have heard lately!!!

And a Christmas rhyme!! Love it.

I love your dry humour. Cracks me up every time.

A little bit of going beyond; Priceless

Great video again Scott. The lead times just keeps increasing. Soon we will all need to print our parts using 3D-printers or something..

Glad to see you wearing earmuffs and safety glasses while grinding. Jello-infused play-doh-nium! Too funny!!! Scott, you just do your work the way you do it and we'll watch! You teach me something new almost every video! My brother and sis in law might want to buy this one!

I have a 2020 RAV4 Non-Hybrid, but this video was interesting to see what it took to repair this wreck.
