- We have most of the parts for the RDX build, hopefully the rest come in by the end of the video. I found deals on the parts from unusual places, like the dealer. You can't beat OEM parts to make the repair process go as smoothly as possible.

It's about time you had some reliable, competent, responsible supervision.
He's good at His job, why does he need supervision?
@@johnpartridge7623the supervisor is the dog, it is a joke.
Dawgs name?

The OEM being less expensive is because of the chip shortage. Less cars are being made than planned because parts factories requiring chips cannot make as many parts. So the stamping factories now have capacity to make more panels than needed. So they are producing excess stamped parts and selling them through the parts counter at lower prices rather than having the factory sit idle. (undercutting salvage yards and aftermarket suppliers) (same goes for other parts that don't need chips)
Makes sense. I think junkyard prices are out of control anymore.
Interested take but I watched salvage yards overpay for inventory, now they are trying to recoup the money. Manufacturers producing fewer vehicles means they can make more parts to undercut the salvage yards while keeping vehicle prices higher. They used the chip shortage to change vehicle buying to on-demand.
I think some of the salvage yards are overpriced because they simply aren't doing all the research. They don't know what every part costs new because they aren't checking all of them. Perhaps others know and don't care. If they're fairly regularly getting $650 for a used hood that the dealer sells new for $500 and nobody seems the wiser, why would they change?
There is only one way Scott knows how to do things. The right way. Great job as usual Scott.
by far the best rebuilder on you tube hands down ..... zero corners cut the way it should be great job
Thanks!
Again, Scott has the patience of God. Man does he do nice work. Love your furry assistant Scott.
Very nice work as always. I really love how you always go the extra mile on everything you do, like painting parts that even the factory leaves. If you think of it in the future, and can show us how the painter blends panels, I would really enjoy seeing how that's done. Thanks for another great video, don't forget to tip the supervisor. You want to stay on her good side afterall lol.
It's surprising the OEM parts were cheaper ... I remember going to a Honda dealer to buy a thermostat for a 2003 Civic. Something which should have costed $5-10 was over $30. I thought that's how Honda rolls ... guess I need to rethink things a little bit.
Things change, I always check with the dealer just incase. Turns out, I might need to start checking with the salvage yards on the off chance they are not overcharging. 😂
@@vehcor - I'm wondering if the reason the salvage yards are more expensive is because of what started as the chip shortage and ended up driving the cost of used cars through the roof. Seems if used car prices are going up, people won't be getting rid of their old cars as readily, which means junk yards aren't getting parts cars, which would drive up prices. Okay, I'm all out of my conspiracy theories for now ...
If you put a bucket of oil or coolant under the car, any parts you drop will fall into that bucket. It’s like a magnet or something.
You put on a great show. I like watching you work. It’s a lot easier than working.
Give the supervisor a few beers and he'll fall asleep. Problem solved !
Looking good. You probably spent more time chasing down parts & then waiting for them than doing the repairs.
Absolutely!
I love the color of this Acura! Another great one, Scott. Have a nice weekend!
Boy a lot of junk yard these day's are getting very argent on price's they think we are dumb and just pay the price I don't buy part at them much any more I ether buy aftermarket or new or fix parts in my shop.
I have seen them paying way too much at auction which means, they have to try and recover their costs.
OMG Scott, I can't believe the air box screw stunt lol! I must say that when I take things apart on my sweet 82' Malibu classic I try to put the screws back in the original location. I know that it is ridiculous, but I can't help myself. Awesome video as usual!
New OEM parts cheaper than used?
“Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together-MASS HYSTERIA!” Dr Peter Venkman 😂
I have to say I appreciate the way you do your videos. You show (I think) everything you do, but you also use jump cuts so we're not watching you show all the tedious stuff, like screwing and unscrewing bolts and so on. We get to see everything, but not waste time watching the entire process. And your supervisor is handsome/beautiful! :D
I honestly; really like this build. It was obvious from his position, Mr. Spotty was worried about being barked at by the supervisor.
I like the easy ones but I don’t get them often.
41:12 yup, did that many times in auto shop in high school. My big thing these days is soldering a bunch of wires together then looking down and seeing the shrink tubing on the bench...*(&)(*#&*&^@ AGAIN!!!!
Auto salvage places think they are selling gold sometimes. I've held my phone up to the guy at the counter to show them what stuff costs NEW in order to get a decent buy on used iron.
😊Thank you Sctt,very interesting and educational very informative great content as usual regards from Scotland 🏴🛠️🇬🇧
I’ve never seen a radiator support look so good 👍🏻🏴
Pure relaxation watching a rebuild done professionally and as good if not better than from the factory, awesome work scott
It really pays to do your research. It's astonishing that used parts are so more expensive than used parts.
yes the wrecking yards are now worse than the stealerships!!
I can tell you how it happened. Used parts were priced when OEM was more or made of unobtainium.. One yard sees the price and matches it or is slightly lower. never thought to look at the list price from the dealer.
Things are always changing. If you don’t keep up, you could be throwing money out the window.
@@vehcor I run a auto parts recycler. It's an impossible task with close to 1 million parts in stock.
We try to stay on top of pricing for parts in inventory every 6 months but..
It's 1 million parts and only a few of us.
I will gladly reevaluate a price if someone points out pricing has changed but I know most will just move on to the next guy.
@@patriotgarage How is it possible the used hood was a couple of hundred $ more than new. It seems the salvage yards are overpricing because people assume it’s gonna be cheaper.
Why The Long face of the supervisor?
Really like this build, great job !
What is your German shepherds name
Daytona
Should have kept the stickers on. Those are secret Honda stickers that add +10HP per sticker.
Noticed the jiffy lube sticker on the windshield. Should test the oil plug torque 😁😁
It must be hard to work under so much pressure, having the supervisor so focused on everything. But that hasn’t affected Scott’s work. Congratulations.
It's no wonder your builds sell so quickly. Anyone who watches your channel sees that your work meets or exceeds factory specifications every time. Great Work, as usual!
my best double flares are always missing the nut.
I don't know you were able to get as great of rebuild as this one with minor front end damage....Great video.
_"..because I have no friends and the supervisor is chasing squirrels."_
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Looks like the fan made contact with the fins on the right?
What is the torque spec for the spring clamps?
Just slightly less than it needs to be! 😂
The turbo assembly with the wastegate is probably what totalled this.
I had a yard tell me that he included the price of paint in the price of a fender. Like its going to remain that color. I bought an aftermarket fender for half of what he was asking.
Same with the fender on this one. $167 new vs $450 used.
@vehcor 450 is insanity. I paid like 500 for the whole nose for my Accord coupe. That was 2018 though
Glad you adjusted the timing on the radiator component as as we all know, timing is everything.😁 Watch out for these quiet supervisors. They are the hardest ones to read... Thanks Scott for another enjoyable build. Peace!
The Supervisor is cool
You only say that because you don’t get the write ups. 😂
The junk yard pricing: Where I live they wanted $4000 for a low mileage Ford 5.4L. $4500 for a rebuilt one WITH a warranty (from a reputable builder too).
I watched this episode with my son. He enjoyed it! 😂
He just liked the supervisor, I’m sure! 😂
Scott, are you still working for another shop and doing rebuilds on the side, or are you doing this fulltime now?
You make the insurance companies look bad, I mean they base the cost of repairs to what they say the car is worth, which in minimal compared to what its actually worth to a consumer. That's one reason our rates are so high. If you hadn't have saved this car it would have been crushed or parted out.
This video got me through a very boring day at work, for that I thank you! 🚙
I hope this channel never ends and keeps spreading happiness.
23:25 I was JUST about to say "what are you a cave man? what's this? a SCREWdriver"? lol.....
Do you increase the selling price when you've marinated some of the parts in the sewer? 😀
Sewer parts always add value! 😂
Hey Scott, as you’re an old man and poor, why don’t you get the afternoon crew (Pizza Girls) do all the heavy lifting for you 😐 They could lift the Hood, Doors, Trunk and wheels all for you while your sitting in your chair, supervising. Come on now, be a Man 👍🏻🏴
Ventriloquist , i don,t see your lips moving whilest talking, 🤣😂😂
No theme song at the end? I'm shocked! LOL I guess because you couldn't pay the royalty fee because rebuilding cars ain't profitable. Such a shame...
2:13 either you are really excited or the shop supervisor is manning the camera, I can hear her panting lol....
She is tired from watching me do all the work! 😂
@@vehcor like my shop cat: what? you tired from all the napping today?
👍👌👏 Extremely well done again and as always (video and work). You definitely remind me of a very painstakingly working surgery doctor.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health in particular.
For goodness sakes, put a piece of cardboard over that floor drain! LOL
At about 3.19 min it was Pakistani truck style work suddenly = working on the ground. 😁 ;-) I guess that's what the supervisor didn't like!? 😜
Bubbles? I wouldn't want to do that. The air in them is from Chlna. Keep it up. love your content.
You can always stop inhaling... No serious, give it a shot.
Good to see work done with pride n right
I started building Honda's in 12 when the Civic body changed and I found out how cheap I could buy OEM parts. Now all I build are Honda and Acura vehicles and buy parts cars to help out. It really helps when you know where all the bolts go too! Honda calls what you are saying air intake a joint. Not sure if you looked in the turbo but I built a CRV that had a broken joint and a piece of plastic went in and bent the turbo impeller causing it not to turn. Just an FYI.
The thing for me, is I almost always did remember to put the fitting on the brake & fuel lines. The problem was that I'd put them on backwards 😐
Noticeable improvement over your normal slipshod work. Big difference when then there’s a supervisor lurking around.
My neighbours supervisor bit me last week , they seem benign until they’re not. Surprising this vehicle was a total loss from the insurance claim.
I was particularly interested in the electrical connection repin. What was the tool you used ? Since I retired I’ve had more time to work on modern vehicles, the fasteners,electrical connections, sensors are a world unto themselves.
What are you planning to do regarding ADAS and SRS in this vehicle? My impression is that it is not the mechanical work but fancy gadgets and their recalibration that totalled this vehicle.
Dear Vechor this how rebuilt recked cars are supposed to be put back together again. I have spent time in the industry and I have seen shady work. I was a victim of such shadiness. I understand your in front of a camera. But I believe you are true and honest. There is nothing wrong with salvage cars. It’s the folks who put them back together wrong just to save a buck. Thank you for the it right.
Very nice...but why didn't you replace that nasty fender?
How much are you going to be asking for the Rdx?
Junk Yard more expensive than the dealer?? 🤣🤣🤣
the gaps on the hood and fender on this car compared to your other rebuilds look slightly bigger? i know you are fantastic at panel lining so is it just honda/acura compared to other manufacturers having bigger gaps or am i just thinking they look bigger and i’m wrong? 😂
Hey I have an awesome idea, don't give us any important information, and instead just say you'll put it in a 'short'.
I know I'm going to get harassed but did those plastic pins float or was the sewer empty. I dropped some plastic parts once and they didn't float.
Thats The only supervisor I'd like to talk to...
New supervisor at least seems much more involved than mr spotty...
Said the guy that says he doesn't knows what gloves feel like , had a whole box of vinyl gloves powdered to keep Scott's hands soft 😂
I guess no HATERS TEARS this week either!........
No Pizza either........its becoming evident the Pizza Girl don't like the car!.......
Don't you have some Scotty Kilmer videos to comment on...
Oh man! I miss the VEHCOR end of video tune!
Hey Scott we're all manufactured at birth with a internal tourq wrench 😂
A fantastic video thank you and please keep them coming
Our car you said?
Most dealers over here don't answer the phone for parts so you have to go in stand like a good boy and then get told its HOW MUCH!?
I was wandering how often does the supervisor bark at you when you do something wrong
Can see Mr. Spotty is on sale in your online store. 😂😂😂 Guess he not going to popup in the work shop anymore. 😅😅😅
I used to have the same supervising supervisor.
Did you bribe yours with treats too? 😂
I would buy a rebuild from you anytime.
My favorite ending words so far, "Thanks for watching and I'll see you when its Blue."
I don’t get to say that much. It seems everything is white, black and silver theses days. 😂
Can the supervisor be bribed with doggy treats?
Absolutely!
The supervisor appears when new OEM parts get used. 🤣
We're all adults until the bubble wrap comes out.
This is my therapy!
How much “editing out” is done, of going to the tool box to get the correct size socket?
Or have you done enough of these that you know the correct size just by looking at it?
Brands typically use the same sizes. Honda and Acura 10,12,14,17 will take apart 95% of the vehicle. I can look at a bolt and tell you the size. I have been doing this for a couple days now. 😂
Hey buddy that's gonna turn out as good as new .
I hope so!
@@vehcor I've watched Niko Brothers and they can't touch you as far as perfection. You really know your stuff . I haven't watched them since I saw what hackers they are . Thanks for being you.
That supervisor likes to micro-manage...🤣🤣
He needs it!
I don’t need to be mana….. ok, maybe just a little! 😂
Self taught fixing cars or schooling
I'm exhausted watching all of the work you did today, it's Yuengling time !
The supervisor couldn’t keep up either! 😂
Welcome to boring build Friday.. I am your host Vehcor!!!
😂
I Knew it! You just inadvertently told us your true identity when removing the screw for the door handle, no one else could have removed except for this person that tightened it in the first place! I Knew it!
😂
I only wear gloves to not cut my hands
So those magic erasers dont mess up the paint
Really nice work here, Scott!
if you need a pair of extra hands , order a pizza

👋🏻
@vehcor I hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks, you too!
As always GREAT WORK THANKS
What replacement bulb would you recommend in 2015 GMC Sierra projector beam headlights?
People love to price gouge used A-spec accessories and parts.
Except for the grille, everything I need fits any RDX. The body panels are reasonable, the plastic and electrical stuff is ridiculous.
@@vehcor ridiculous prices on electrical parts, and this world wants me to buy an EV, lol. Much respect to you for what you do sir.
