There’s no point having shiny paint if the wheels are all covered in dirt. A quick hose and some wheel cleaner will have them 👌

do not do this. loosen the door jam bolts and adjust properly. this is wrong
You would be shocked by how many of these "tricks" are used to repair a car.
I like these videos especially the oil changes
and you just screwed the door up good going your not a mechanic if that how you fix it
the auto plants most likely use them to realign doors before leaving auto plants
I need that tool
doesn't matter you got it done.
oh and that'll be $400 please.
the door will go back
done that 1000 times w a 2x4!
Now tell them how much you're going to charge them ?
need this how can I order it?
if I'm at a shop and they walk out with one of these I'm turning around and leaving.
lol and never seen a mechanic every have this tool...wonder why
That'll be $200 🤲🤑
That’ll be $300 please 🫴🏻
wow
🤔
I’m probably stupid but I don’t understand what exactly he’s doing.
2x4 will work
I wish we'd has one of those years ago when I was in my teens, my mother's cars doors used to wear out and drop. Technically we should've replaced the hinge pins (older cars you could do that) but my stepfather was a drunk and didn't do anything the "right" way. So we'd have to jack the doors up every so often.
Wouldn't mind having a cool looking tool like this hanging in my personal garage just to look like I know what I'm doing
Notice he didn’t show the door shutting improperly at first so it there probably wasn’t nothing wrong with it at all
genius
it took him 20 seconds to fix it so that will be 500 dollars
Best just to just loosen the hinges and adjust appropriately.
thats just a temporary fix Nut Pollisher.

Time to trade it off!
the round tube type like hes using will bend your door frame, if your not careful, buy the flat steel one ,I have each ,been using them for 25 or 30 yrs
Years ago. Use a 2x4 under the door and a floor.jack. Even then on a alot of cars you could only replace the bushing & pins. Hinges didn't have bolts
he put it on the striker wouldn't it bend that too
my generation made these tools
If you see a shop with this tool, drive away. Don't ask just leave.. as demonstrated the chrome window trim is now 1/8 to 1/4 below the rear... gaps are time-consuming and done properly will last the lifetime of a normal vehicle.. this method shown will last as long as they can see your tail lights..
I need one
I need that for my tailgate
Now tighten those door bolts.....
never ever do this
that's a dang car chiropractor
Easy fix I betcha they will charge u $1200!!
I did door adjust on Jeep Wranglers assembly line for 2 years and that is pretty much how we did it
what is this tool called ?
well you might be able to do them if you loosen up the bolts first, just enough so you can move the door, then tighten them back up and check it then,, just pulling on the sheet metal like this. it will only bend back and be in worse shape cuz you're stretching the metal.. what they're showing here is not what's done in any body shop and if it is,, go to a different body shop
That’ll be $300 please
That’ll be $400 please
I use a 2x4 to align my doors
Just means car are made like shit 💩 anymore
I don't get it what did you do there's magical The door is in the same position as it was in the beginning🤔
I thought it was some kinda device for boosting cars
Make sure the hinge bushings are good before the pull
