Turning Your Wheels Won’t Stop The Repo Man!

- In this video, I used one of our Ram 5500 Wheel lift trucks, to run a quick repo for a Nissan Xterra.
They had the wheels turned, facing the ditch, so I decided to throw dollies to get the vehicle out of the driveway. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

I had to surrender a truck when I was in my early 20s because I screwed up and bit off more than I could chew in car payments. When the repo man showed up, I walked outside, waved at him and handed him the keys to it so he could do what he needed to do. Sucked to surrender it and get a bad mark on my credit but I just can't understand how some people can get so angry and stupid and violent and fight so hard to keep a vehicle when the repo man shows up when they know good and well they haven't made the payments. Don't get mad at the repo man, he's just doing his job!
Wished more people were like that.
I think 95% of the resentment towards the repo men is that it’s always unexpected. Obviously it has to be like that to keep people from hiding the car, but I know that’s what upset me was just waking up one day and the car is gone. And then even when you do decide to go try to get it they treat you like shit. That act as if you’re a garbage human being instead of someone who is just struggling financially. And then they want $2000 for a $200 tow and parking your car in a gravel lot. It really is a shady hustle
@@christopheryou5040 that's the difference
It's a stupid fight as well. One that you ultimately cannot win. Who can enjoy driving a car that may be gone at any day.
I literally missed 2 payments because I got laid off, I was working with the bank to finish paying off (a$35k car and I only owed balance of $13k) and i always paid on time. They just came and took my car. I’ll never forgive that bank and you couldn’t pay me to use them again. Yes, I was late, but I literally had just got laid off, and divorced. And my ex was giving me the run around about giving me my 1/2 of the divorce settlement, plus I had my 12 year old depending only on me. Repo men SUCK!!! And so does that bank
The best way to keep the repo Man from taking your car. Make your car payments
Smh
I use a custom molded plastic sheet basically about 1 inch thick (2 .05 thick industrial plastic with a metal press lining in the middle) it presses almost flush against the wheel and feathers back towards the wheel well and have basically carpet knives on the end , reaching under would cut an or slice a persons hand but also makes the back of the wheel not fully rounded so it’s hard to wedge any types of lifts . Unintentionally it’s like that because there’s a rash of tow companies in my town towing illegally by “mistake” and they let your car go because it it was a “mistake” but like 90 percent of these “mistakes” make your catalytic converters disappear on there lot and of Course they’re protected from that by state law . So basically a few companies are “Cat diping” here. I was able to use it , because the hoa tow guy definitely challenged me. Turns out they let me use it because it’s designed as a deterrent against catalytic converter theft but it makes the car extremely hard to tow but not impossible, almost nothing is impossible to tow and most cars are designed with some way to tow in mind because of emergency purposes. Notice all the cars started popping up with lil squares on the front 😂 if someone with a tow truck wants your car bad enough there going to get it. Even if you take all the wheels off 😂
@@christopherhaynes8101dude that’s the most epic shit I’ve read recently 😂
Nope , airbag the car 😂
@@Xix305or just make the payments. Who would buy something they can't afford, they must be terrible with basic math
I think there should always be 2 when doing a repo just for safety.
That would be nice, but not feasible most of the time.
And then what happens if u run into somebody Coocoo for Cocoa Puffs it’s just a dangerous ass job regardless of how many folks u got there it seems
It's not always economically viable. Imagine if the repo man got repoed.
I 100% agree. These people are NUTS
I just can’t believe what some people choose to make payments on. I’ve paid nothing but cash for cars my whole life and I’ve had 25 year old Hondas for 1500.00 that were better than that Nissan.
Imagine coming out of your trailer and seeing your beat up Xtara gone… I need to rethink my life
One of the funnier Recoveries I have done a Rimmed Escalades a Lifted Pavement Princesses packet in front of a Mobile Home leaning on a Tree.
The anxiety of how long that took with all the noise. I was just waiting for someone to come outside. 😅
Gotta wd40 some of those sqeaks😂
Being honest as a tow truck driver sometimes its easier when they catch u cuz if you know how to talk you’ll even walk away wit the keys 🤷🏽♂️
I didn't even realize this was a tactic people tried using to prevent their vehicle from being repossessed
Damn dude, nerves of steel to do what you do. Got my pulse up just watching you.
Mine was thumping pretty hard too lol
@@Towtruck_Dustin Adrenaline rush hoping no one came out?
A long time ago I did repos. Got tired of fixing bullet holes in my truck. Be careful dude.
I was waiting for the guy to come out screaming. Maybe he was glad to get rid of it because it looked like it was in pretty bad shape. Good work getting it out there! 👍🏻
From what I was told after the fact, the debtor was letting someone borrow it.
The Low Life, NON Paying car "temp" owner, was in a DEEP SLEEP, .... since he doesn't have a job to go to ...... LOLOL
Good work??? 😂😂 you’re delusional
Had a car of mine repoed, walked outside handed the driver my key, got my stuff out and told him to have a good day. People make things hard for no reason. You mess up and you accept the consequences. Shouldn’t be harder than it needs to be.
Your a girl
Very satisfying to watch the process of eliminating the turned-tires issue. Sometimes the best way is back to the oldest, simplest, most fundamental of technologies to solve a problem.
I’m surprised that you had all that time available to set up the front wheels before anyone came out.
That's because it was his own car .. he was just trying to make a video .. to get his likes up😅😂😅
Nope. Everything on my channel is genuine.
I don’t have to fake anything for views.
@@kane08021its my car. I didnt pay it for him to get it
Bubbling meth makes a racket, hard to hear what’s up outside
Total voluntary. You could tell. He was given all the time he needed to get it off the property. It was all ready to be cherry picked at the end of the driveway. The operator even checked the door to see if they left the key or if were unlocked so he could try straighten out the wheels and put a strap on the steering wheel. The thing probably doesn't run anymore so they gave it up instead of making payments. Smart.
Wow i can feel the adrenaline pumping doing this, even watching this video.
I know what stops the repo man every time...... paying the debts that you agreed to and paying them on time. Works every time.
No, it doesn't. I paid off avehicle loan and Bank of America called in a repo on the van. I was in the bank trying to straighten out the error and they called the repo agent to tell him the van was in the bank parking lot, "Come and get it."
@@phlodel did you have the title? That's the easiest way to clear that up.
@@white_devil73 it would be nice if you all really knew something holy shit thos world is dumb
That’s a lot of trouble for a vehicle that wouldn’t even bring $1500 at an auction. Tough job but someone has to do it.
Even if it only brings $1,500.00 at an auction the debtor is still responsible for whatever money is still owned.
Most lenders wouldn’t even bother, but from the looks of it they probably got it from a “buy here pay here” lot. Those dudes will grab that piece of junk and refinance it to someone down on their luck for about 28% interest…that piece of junk is the gift that keeps on giving for shady car lot owners…paid for itself more than a dozen times over.
The Debtor is still on the Hook for the Difference that the vehicle gets at Auction.
It an exterra. Those things resell values are sometimes pretty high because it’s a highly sought after vehicle
yea I think it was the principle on that one. Wasn't a straight piece of metal on it. Looks like they never washed it. Probably stank inside.
Dude my heart was pounding just watching you, lol. Ice cold blood running through them veins.
Much respect and I'm impressed with your skill on a very hard job. Tough way to make a living.
Thank you!
Just think some of these people still feeling the effects of the shut down. Glad your doing good. Karma will get you all one day. Joe Biden’s America smh.
@@Towtruck_Dustin do u enjoy your job? I mean, the repo part of it.. Do u enjoy it? Is it rewarding? Legit question.
Man these guys do not get paid enough for this. Dangerous work
Awesome job, Dustin! You are a quick and quiet worker.
I’m glad you think so, because I feel like it took me way too long lol
@@Towtruck_Dustin Anything over a few seconds would seem long to me!
@@Towtruck_Dustin Were you a little afraid the first time that you repossed a car or are you just a tatted bad boy?
Cap he did a lot of fumbling around getting the equipment off the truck
Won’t stop the repo man but definitely adds a lot of time and work to get it. Also, prevents damage to transmission because the car is dollied-not being dragged.
On a real repo, they would pull away without the front dollies to a nearby place to put on the dollies.
You’re entitled to your own opinion, but in saying all that, it just goes to show you’ve never done this line of work, and definitely don’t have the mind set for it. If I’d have hooked onto and rolled out, the front end would have dropped down into the ditch, and then I’d be paying to fix it all.
Contrary To what you see on TV, not all repos are snatch and grab. Very different in the real world.
@@Towtruck_Dustin I never said I have driven a tow truck. I didn't see a "ditch". Looked like you were backed up a driveway. True that even a suburban gutter could upset the vehicle being towed. It still isn't rocket science.
No problem at all to strap down and pick up the back and drive off to safer local to do the front, as long as you have a wide enough escape road so you have room for the vehicle crabbing behind you.
I'm always more concerned about my safety than someone else's car, or even my job. NFW I would attempt that full rigging in their driveway. Respect yourself first.
Fk the ditch.
You would rack up quite the list of damage claims with that mindset lol definitely stick to your day job lol
@@Towtruck_Dustinwell damage claims don’t me nothing if your the repo man, they can’t prove you broke the transmission by towing it and the debtor didn’t do that. You really gonna risk your life over that?
You have to be in the country town somewhere repo'ing. The repo men in Atlanta fly because they try to get in and out.. You just take your time like no one is home.🤣🤣🤣
I hope you can survive this career. If a debtor doesn't kill you, the stress will.
Yeah but...if you can survive, with the average monthly car payment creeping up to $1000, you've got job security! 😄
@@tommatthews9341 no shit, I've been contemplating this gig honestly.
You just need to pick the right locations to Repo Vehicles. Over 80% that I Repo for the Bank, are done at Shopping Centers and Places of Employment. Rarely do I Repo from a Debtor's residence.
seeing grown adults throwing tantrums lol im sure it gets his blood flowing but not stressful
Man you handled this and ran out of there like you done stole it...!!! Lol😂
That’s a lovely wrecker you have
After all that, he puts his seatbelt on. Great job, Kid!
Great job? 😂 you guys are fucking ignorant
When I had to give up my car and told the bank I'm doing volunteering because Financials when the repo man came to get it I helped him by moving the car because where I live the parking lot is not bus and truck friendly. I got to talk to the driver and told him I just had to give up the car do to financial situation. He was a nice guy.
Repo guy is just trying to do his job .... most are fair an even curtious if you were respectful to them .....
Nothing like the power of RAM
Fascinating job you do. Many facets to do the right Tow.
The driver had *spent money on upgrades* like new aftermarket headlights, push bumper etc but neglected the main priority which is fully paying off the truck first or at least keeping up with the monthly payments. I bet there’s an aftermarket stereo system and other engine mods on that Nissan worth at least $2000. 😂
Very likely lol
Doing repos in Texas is pretty brave. The dolly’s seem like the most annoying part of these lift tow trucks
Yes young man. Gotta love those dollies. I got a brand new loaded to the hilt chevy 3500 x cab in 2003 and loved the truck . It was super nice but then there was the dollies. Not the ones you have .
So glad I found this channel! Love watching repos. Good job Dustin
Thanks for the sub!
You love watching people get their means of transportation taken away? What a shitty mindset.
Interesting work! Well done.👍🇫🇮
I'm from Hawaii. The houses & lots are *_HUGE_*
in Texas. Each house is as big as a city park.
Awesome videos 🥶🍟🍼
you have GOT to be kidding me bro. im from Houston and i used to do cable work and immediately recognized the intersection when you were pulling away!!! HOLY SHIT! dude im having a crazy moment right now no way
Oh wow. That’s awesome
My god man, what a lot of work with the front wheel dolly. What a pro. Awesome to watch.
Reminds me of classic Matt videos, the OG of repo videos. From the dolly's to the go pro footage, the flavor of reponut is here!
Amen
That made a nice change Dustin, Glad the owner did'nt come out shouting & kicking ! Ray uk...
Thanks! Glad it helped break the monotony a little!
I enjoy watching someone do their job with great skill and efficiency. Didn’t miss a beat. Well done.
Thank You!
Thank you so much for these videos and please be safe out there doing repos not all people are voluntary God bless 🙏🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
My heart is pumping so fast
It won’t stop you from taking the car but definitely SLOW YOU DOWN
What sucks truly is if the car is in someone’s garage they can’t legally take they car unless someone answers the door I don’t laws in other states but it’s kinda messed up you stay safe my man
That wheel dolly setup is pretty sweet
PAY YOUR BILLS. KEEP YOUR WHEELS!!!!
Appreciate the work you do. Without the option of repossession the public would have to pay cash, or have enough equity in something besides the desired vehicle, before purchasing a new or used car.
Bullshit a repo man is nothing more than a hired thief
If people payed their bills, the bank wouldn’t need their assets back lol
@@Towtruck_Dustin it be people who don't know the law that says this did you know that when u do a repo there's nothing in the U.C.C 11 that said the finance company had a right to take the vehicle and last but not least banks can't loan money it's unlawful think it's a joke read title 15 of the United States code
Your welcome
@@originallonewolf6643 Perhaps you need to read it, because it doesn't say what you think it does. At least in regards to title 15, which is to prevent monopolies restricting interstate trade. No clue what your trying to refer to with U.C.C 11, but I am sure you don't know what your talking about there either.
The public would be better off paying cash. If you can’t pay cash, you can’t afford it.
This scenario actually occurred sometime back and the police showed up at neighbors house down the street. After a thorough examination by the authorities the repo man was arrested and taken to jail.The place he ran was full of undocumented employees and he was not legally authorized to carry out such tows
Cool video man, thanks for sharing. That tow truck is so cool
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it
So interesting to watch you Dustin .... amazing how you deal with this job ...
That Xterra had seen better days.
Definitely lol
You're a master at your craft! You got another subscriber.
Okay my first time ever seeing this cat!! But ya'll do know a repo guy never stay at place he's picking the car up this long they will leave and hook up the car later.this is probably something else! None of them wants to put their selves and family in danger!
No. It was definitely a repo. Because of how it was parked with the wheels turned, I had to throw Dollies to avoid damaging it pulling it through the ditch.
Did I want to be there that long? Nope. But you have to sometimes.
Obviously you’ve never done the job before.
Nice repo) Guess it's always good not havng to face anyone, just get it done fast and get going. Such a fine sound from that RAM 5500 going down the road
Thank You!
Due to miscommunication from my bank once, a repo driver drove through my yard to pick up my car, destroyed $13,000 worth of landscaping, and irrigation system. I removed keys from the wrecker and called the police, turned out to be a real mess. Poor driver was on his 2nd repo by himself. Bank used a 3rd party to contract the repo.
Long story short, what remained owed on car was paid off, and the tow company insurance paid for the damages to my yard.
Anyways, stay safe and be careful when having to enter someone's yard!
That’s why you gotta know the laws before you go driving through yards lol
@@Towtruck_Dustin lmao if people knew the law there wouldn't be a repo man anywhere ever I just left you a comment on another post tell n you things about the law. Smfh lmao 🤣 🤦
Dustin you have got some wicked skills.
Thank You!
Cool video. I can't believe nobody came out of the house while you were there
Nice job. I have a sis that works for a repo shop in Idaho. She works in the office
Wow that great. Where does your Brother work ?
Of course she works in the office lol
The surefire way to prevent the Repo Man from taking your car - pay the GD payment.
Just subscribed! Can't wait for some delinquent owner drama 🤗😁
Repo man coming for your stuff
Repo man doesn't give a fluff
Don't pay your bills it's gonna be rough
Wait for the repo man.
I know what you mean, just give the vehicle up and move on. I had to do that and lived in a gated community. The tow driver was so happy he didn’t have to go through a bunch of stuff to get the car. When the gate security called I just told them to let them in. The driver was so surprised, he said most times in places like this he has to track the vehicle down outside of home.
Good job those Wheels were definitely cranked but you got it that's what matters
Appreciate it!
Is that what matters? Helping to further hurt a family who may be struggling? He is a snake in the grass punk who can't do anything else.
@@tay-my-debil2182 If youre financially struggling you dont buy 2 big ass trucks to drive. You buy a regular sedan with a small and low fuel consumption engine
I've always wondered how those dollies worked!
The more you know lol
i work on a tow company as a dispatcher and people are always scared of the dollies because they think their car is going to break or something but they are a god send
In a lot of cases it’s easier and safer to get a wheel lift and Dollie’s on something, but they insist it needs a flatbed so then you gotta drag it 😂
This. I was thinking like--do they drive it up on them? Dead car? Do they push it? Not happening/really hard? Do they first use the tow truck to lift the front end and put the dollies underneath? Won't necessarily have access. Nope--build and lever up it turns out. makes perfect sense. :)
Hardly seems worth the trouble to repo and auction off that car. They bank really needs their $100 I guess.
Try that shit in Downtown Chicago. You'd be dead before you even turn into the neighborhood hahahahaha
This had to have been a voluntary repo, no way in hell would I have strapped down and dollied up in the yard. That took waaaay too long and made way too much noise. Pick it up, pull it away from the home and then secure it.
So what about the turned front wheels w/o the dolly? I'm thinking w/o dolly or strapped rear wheels he risks it falling off.
@@danielgoodman3578I mean you don’t have to do the dolly, he could have easily just disengaged the car and put it in neutral or disconnect the wheels from the transmission
@@PokemonScott if the wheels are locked in a turned position I would think the risk remains though
Half that shyt would be on my front seat out of pure fear.....🤣😂😂😂😂
Excellent job seems like an eternity
I have the same truck I love my Nissan Xterra I’m blessed I paid it off 🎉
I like that you talk to yourself.
Just trying to convey my thought process so everyone understands why I’m doing things certain ways
lol he talking to us , dum dum
You Repo people are a different breed 🤙
Brother you're a SMOOOOOOTH OPERATOR
They really beat this one up.
Stay safe when you are out on repos my dad also used to do repos and he has had his nose broken because people don't like getting their cars repoed
Thankfully I haven’t gotten into any physical altercations, but I have had guns pulled on me before. lol
My dad did to and we’ll I had my car repoed king ass story my dad same way
You could have done the tug test. If it's full-time 4x4 like some are dolly it, if not yank it down in block and flip it around.
Fast towing maneuverability. I think you should wear safety gloves to avoid skin injuries during setup.
I generally do, but I forgot them in my flatbed.
Doesnt stop the repo guy but it sure makes you have to earn your money with the dollies lol. Stay safe man
So fast that guy was still asleep lol woke up and was like wtf dude where's my car lol
Nice quick repo. i never seen dolly under truck lol. i have seen other channel put dolly right side of truck next boom arm use lock key
Glad you thought it was quick lol I wanted to be in and out in half the time, but I had to throw the dollies
made it look so easy and clean
Awesome show Thanks
Thanks!
You need a snatch truck and learn to drag it out of the driveway first onto the street and then reposition your truck to the front of the car and lift it quickly to get the hell out of there before the debtors have time to come out and stop you. Rarely ever get time to put on Dollies before they jump into the front seat
Those repo guys love that adrenaline
Very stealthy and quiet! Stay safe out there!!!
YEAH ALMOST LIKE A SNAKE IN THE GRASS HUH?
Repo’ing a ve’hicle from a trailer park.
Never saw that coming.
Classic.
Stay tuned for more original Content 😂

Reeeeeee-po maaaaaaan!
Reeeeeee-po maaaaaaan!
...sorry, I couldn't resist.
Great job 👏
Thanks!
Nice recovery !
Thanks
Impressive. I watched this on the edge of my seat as you seem to sound so loud, but I get that's just because you have the mic on you.
Wow never realized that’s a lot of work.
It can be.
The repo man got a job to do if your not making your car payments his job is to repo your vehicle why get mad about it it's your fault if you can't make your payments or if your payments are to high just let them do there job.
I'm constantly amazed at how people not only finance junk cars, but are behind on their payments on those junk boxes.
Rule 1 make sure you can afford the payments Rule 2 dont buy a car if you think you end up hating because you are stuck with the payments. Rule 3 make sure your job is secure job security is very important half the repos happen when people who get laid off from their jobs
It must be very intense every time you have to get out and hook it up like that. Just watching this video already got my heart rate up much less actually doing it myself. Every time you looked up, I was imagining a guy is running out with a baseball bat in hand. Glad you were able to complete the job w/o incident.
It’s pretty intense most of the time. Never know what’s going to happen
You know it's weird because I see all these repos, Where the repo guys just pull up, Take your car and leave, and then you gotta pay probably to get your stuff out of the car.
I had my car repossessed one time when I was younger and I actually ended up paying to get my car back and I paid that car off. I still had the embarrassment and all the extra funds that I had to pay because of the repossession. But what struck me as odd was that instead of just taking my car...
they found me, And let me get my stuff out of my car, That I needed for work. My question is, why were they allowing me to go to get my stuff out of my car? When most of the time I see repossession people just try to go as quick as they can. They try to grab the car and go for obvious reasons. I appreciated it at the time but I just can't believe that. They gave me the opportunity to get my stuff out of the car. Because I could have possibly made things a lot more difficult for them. Obviously, I wasn't planning on making things difficult. Considering that I knew I was late on my payments and I expected them to come. Take my car at some point. That's the other thing that confuses me. Is these people have to be so far behind on their payments? That obviously they are parking their car in funky ways. For a reason, maybe they are expecting to have their car repossessed. So why are they always acting so surprised, When they see the repo guys out there taking their car.? Lol. I guess some of these people think that even though they signed an agreement and a contract that says they have to pay the loan. I guess they think that even though they have defaulted on that loan, that they should be able to keep the item anyway. EHHHHHHH!!!, WRONG!@!!
Anxiety thru the roof just watching this. Don't know how u do this everyday day.
Repo’s aren’t my favorite thing either.
Thankfully I don’t do them everyday, but I do them fairly often.
didn't stop him but it sure slowed him down
*"Turning Your Wheels Won’t Stop The Repo Man!"*
TH-cam videos show me otherwise.
Sounds like they don’t know what they’re doing then lol
Actually prevent quick getaway.
First time watching your video. Well done and quickly. Keep yourself safe!
Thanks!
