You can even measure ***** to see if you really know what you are talking about.

my dads focus just got totalled. would the re-straightening leave effects like un reliability and leaning to one side cus i really like the car and the insurance would cover it and i dont want a used car and we currently dont have money, even with insurance money to buy new

Funny thing is that I have the impression the guy in the video doesn’t always know what he’s talking about, it’s like he’s reciting a prelearned speech for the camera, most expertvillage videos sound like the guy infront of the camera, isn’t one of the experts from the so called village Just a thought

Crap like this put our industry down.. Cars today are so complex that if you don’t have a dedicated bench or computer measuring system and a WELL trained technician, most likely the repairs will be a joke.. Take for example a tape measure for your measurements, what a joke. LOL. Please call 911…………

A laser frame machine is MUCH better, it does the work and GUESS work for you, PLUS it gets the frame closer to original shape. Laser gets it down to micro, closer than a tape measure, 16th!!
there is a big difference!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish I had one of these at my disposal when i was fixing my Civic. I tried using a chain hoist tied to a tree but finally i resorted to a butane torch and a slede hammer.
