I wouldn't even buy this doctored up Canyon Denali for parts! 

Hope everything is ok for you Scott. You're a good man and we need more like you in the world, especially now.

WOW! That GMC was a junker. I saw too that the spare tire had been dropped down , the tire removed to replace the drivers side tire that got destroyed. Thanks for taking us along Scott and thumbs UP!!

Yet another doctored vehicle. You're pretty good at finding them.

Watching this tired , and then you show the original pic under the hood ! Holy crap !!!!!!!! Can't believe the front was pushed back that far ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Get em' Scott. Hate guys who would prey on people like that! They are no better than car thieves.

Thanks for your words on the government helping us. So true. Can't believe people trust politicians.

I am truly impressed with how much you catch by just looking at the pictures. I doubt any novice body guy would see half of what you point out on these. Thanks!

You have rebuilt enough Denali's for us that you would definitely know what is fubar. This one was written off for good reason. Keep spreading the word. The dollar signs flashed before my eyes looking at what is needed. Not much good left.

Lots of good pointers on how to spot doctored vehicles. The scammers are learning a lot and won't be making those mistakes again. Leaving that spare tire cable just dangling down like that is a rookie move. They should thank you for educating them so they won't do that again.

Thank you Scott , what every is going on I wish you all the best and I am on stand by for future videos.

Glad you are bringing these shady operations to light. Thx. Hoping everything turns out ok for going back to the normal routine.

Not only are you exposing these "fix & flip" scammers, but you're also shedding light on what we need to look out for. Apparently Manheim has been scamming bidders with questionable "bids" to upcharge the selling price. The Chevy Dude channel is also a great source to head off used auto scams.

Thanks for bringing the music back.

Looking forward to updates on your rebuilds, but I'm more than content to watch these auction videos because I learn a lot from them, as I'm hoping others do as well. I used to think some of the gypsy car lots we had in town were bad, but they don't hold a candle to these people in the auctions!

Thanks, Scott. There isn't even $2k worth of salvageable parts on that Can'tyon!

Thank you again for your videos. Every one of them is an education of some sort and I really appreciate you taking the time to share them with us.

another great job Scot. thank you for what you do, plus i really do enjoy these

I love that you do these videos keep doing this thank you

Love watching your videos, Scott. I hope whatever is going on behind the scenes resolves itself soon. But in the meantime I'm really enjoying this new content. Keep it coming!

Great job finding these junkers and advising people about them!

i was waiting all weekend , i thought you gonna leave us hanging without these doctored up videos lol, as a body guy myself , i have seen some intersting things in my almost 30 yrs in the feild , keep em comming ,love these videos, have a good week

Your insights are really beneficial. The auto industry is sketchy enough without these online scammers. Knowledge is POWER.

Thank you Scott for exposing these scammers ... You're videos are really going to save a lot of hard working honest people from going bust from those unscrupulous MFers.

thanks Scott , awesome videos love your repair videos as well

Keep it up ,, you’ve helped me a ton already, we need this education

Hope everything works out, I really enjoy, your work, commentary and channel!!!

Yup, good for interior parts ONLY from the looks of things. Thanks for sharing this one.

I hope everything is ok Scott as we in the UK love your work. Best Regards Doug.

Commentary is definitely on point.

I also miss the rebuild videos, but these are great, too. Really appreciate what you do. It's nice to learn and also have some good laughs and not feel talked down to. Hopefully the shop situation gets cleared up with minimal hassle. I have adopted the term "torque rag", which I use any chance I get!

Thanks Scott. These types of videos are interesting.

I enjoy your rebuild videos, but I enjoy these just as much. So I personally don't care which you do, but I'm glad you are doing something, as well as hopefully making enough money to feed your family.

Scott great job. Please don't change. I like all of your videos. 👍👍

Mr. Plum did it in the library with the candlestick.. HAAAAA I win. Scott thanks for sharing.. these are awesome.. I enjoy it.. running the family tow truck I've been right on a few so far

You are awesome. Hope you solve whatever background issue soon

Hope all is well with the shop! Whatever exactly happened, glad you’re safe

Glad to see you stuck with the after first and the before second!

Hi Scott!....Scott here !....love yur no nonsense intuitive and educational videos !....ty for sticking yur neck out there to inform and educate potential bidders....I love "your hobby" rebuilding vehicles....

Great series of videos!! Takes some big ol testicles!! I hope you can continue the rebuilds soon.

You never make a politician your too correct and honest , another excellent video

Scott, may I wish you luck and happiness in your future endeavours which, I am sure, will continue in the same style to which we have become accustomed here on RU-vid.

Thanks for the video Scott.

Always great content!

Very informative and entertaining to watch these. Was going to joke about the police chase but you're absolutely right and I too live in the real world;)

Thanks for the videos even if there not rebuild videos hopefully you can get back to them soon

These are cool, and am a believer in trust no one and eyes on it. Looking forward to whatever is preventing rebuilds and "transpired over the last couple years" I am sure it will be entertaining as always, but I am also sure there will be no sarcasm involved.

Thank you Scott!

It's your channel, so do what you want. But I'm really enjoying these videos and you should make more.

Great work again Scott! I just hope you don't end up in Lake Michigan with a pair of concrete shoes! Those auction scammers probably don' like you very much.

Awesome as usual

Thanks Scott

Thanks Scott!

Doing gods work.... thanks !

Keep up the Good work Scott ! As bad as it was before, bet Erie Insurance was doing back flips when they got 6k for it.

Thanks for the outro music Scott. Thanks for the video's.

There's always a scammer out there all the time thank you for trying to help people not get scammed

That speaks volumes when not even the parts are any good. If that's what a "doctored" vehicle is about, someone should file a malpractice lawsuit.

Sorry to see the issue at your shop. My daughter and I met you during the lemont car show. Hope everything works out.

Awesome video series.....

These scammer vids are quickly becoming my favorite

Looking forward to the fire story.

That's crazy hopefully people watch your channel

Great video series Scott. Look forward to the next one. Amazing this wasn't branded as scrap only. Can you explain what the insurance companies use to determine what is "Salvage" vs Scrap.

Hope you are planning to do more rebuilds in the future, very much appreciate that you make the scam videos, but Looking forward to seeing you back in the shop!

Great job Scott! I have a 2016 Canyon diesel. This was an eye opener. They even took the hood shock from the passenger side. The driver side shock must have been destroyed along with the front fender. It looked like there might have been a dent in the divers side running board too. Anyway you toss this one, she’s a pile! See you in the next in the next one.

Interesting to see this as I’ve seen salvage title/totaled trucks for sale on fb marketplace/craigslist. They looked like really little damage for being a totaled out or salvaged titled. I never really payed much attention it makes sense that people out there doctor them up to make it look like it was a small accident

Another great vid Scott, I know it’s probably not a viable financial proposition but would love to see you get one of these vehicles cheap enough and pull it apart to show what these scammers are really up to, even if it ends up in Scotts spare parts emporium…😂

You are a good bloke Scott, here is a virtual cup of coffee for you☕

my dad was really anti government yet he did feel ok about it when medicare and social security age rolled around. "Those people live in movies" line of the week! thank you.

Wow that Denali is absolutely HAMMERED!! I will say, swapping the grill on the canyons is at least a pretty easy affair... Just good luck getting a Denali grill, they are literally unobtainium.

Damn i thought that tje after pictures were the before pictures

Old Saying: A vehicle made on or before the 70's, is restorable. A vehicle made after the 70's, is recyclable! 9:15 Salvage Yards move vehicles around, using a loader with long forks. Those forks lift the vehicle from underneath, and damage exhaust systems. Always examine underneath!

🤞 wishing you all the best 👍

Well Scott, I hope all is well and you’re back to building cars soon

Thank you!

Great Job

Thank You Again!!!!!

Your doing good work

Hiding deployed airbags should definitely be considered fraud - not to mention bidding on their own vehicles… 🤦‍♂️

Also, here’s hoping all behind the scenes works out for you, Scott!

We all live in a movie; we are the actors that we think to be most like ourselves. Thanks Scott.

Needs a gas door. Great vids. Thank you,

Thank you

Happy Monday, Scott! Scam Week is going to turn into Scam Month!🍻

great work as usual. I use to buy over 100 cars from IAA every year. when covid bullshit hit, IAA got stupid with fees and I quit. I'll buy a couple a year when I need a parts car otherwise I've had it with the auctions.

Very nice indeed. Grass roots reform on the way....maybe.

Haha, I am currently putting a inner fender/apron on 22 gmc cayon. Had to pull dash to move ultra flammable firewall insulator back to make spot welds. Ugg😵‍💫

I miss president Reagan! Also, I wonder if the fuel level is reading differently due to how the vehicle was leaning vs the more level after "repair"?

Can't wait to hear about the fire story

I'm just here for the Outro music.

Like you said, this truck could be fixed. With enough money and time ANY wreck can be fixed. But once it's fixed what part of the vehicle will show problems once miles are put on it. THEN it'll be a REAL money pit!

HEY! Hello Scott!

as the saying goes: that thing hit everything but the lottery.

Hi Vehcor, Awesome Job on these and frankly all your other video. I like watching them and learn quite a lot :) If you can give your professional estimates on what are those vehicles are worth as a parts car? This will be good for someone who wants get into this Thanks again

Looking at the pictures of the doctored truck, you can pretty much see how bad it was before they changed a few parts.

Hey Scott thanks for saying something on this vehicle I was considering bidding on it but now i seen how they doctor this up I wont be placing a bid on it

This truck is an easy fix. 1. Remove radiator cap. 2. Slide a new truck under cap. 3 install cap. Easy-not cheap, but easy.

I am new to your channel, I’m confused. Did you stop a huge deal on the mustang? Or am I missing something? I’ve watched your videos a few years back. It seems like everything you touch turns to gold. Keep it that way.

Wow. I got taken on a 'finished' product of something like this. '16 Malibu LT, 61k miles, dealer openly admitted prior collision damage, Carfax indicated rear collision. However, that did not explain something appearing 'off' about the front end, or the headlights being all over the place. After 4 months, 2 attempts at repair, and threats of legal action, they finally got serious about it and kept the car almost a month. I have a picture of it with only the hood, right fender / headlight on. The core support was warped to the point the washer reservoir filler neck grommet could not seat against the reservoir. I still wound up upgrading the halogens to LEDs and adjusting the headlights myself. However, it was developing blow-by and trans / CV axle issues. Infotainment would not see my phone and the 12V socket lost power when the door was open. Never found the VIN on any salvage auctions. I think it was involved in an accident on a test drive, doctored up and sold to another dealer through other means, since the title history includes a dealer over an hour away.

I see two futures for that truck. One is as parts to rebuild a flood car, or possibly a car with a dash/interior fire. The other is as donor serial numbers to replate a stolen car. Or, if the buyer plays his cards just right, both......
