>> My name is Tucla [phonetic spelling] and for a living I am an auto body technician at Mendel Collision. I've been working on very many different car, you know, all Dodge, Subaru, Honda, Volkswagen, German cars, Chevy, all different kind of cars that make. What I do every day is tear down cars, scan vehicles, do repair on vehicles, fix the dents. I repair the bumper. I do plastic welding, fitting, check the part if it's correct, you know, all the stuff that we, the tires that are in shape. The first thing when we do a scan the car then we look at the damage and then analyze it, and then tear down for if it hit from the front, then we go from bumper, took out the bumper, and then go deeper to look for hidden damage. Today it was the one that hit with the, you know, the front hit. All the condenser, you know, the A/C system, fender, the windshield, the hood, all those stuff are pushed back in, all the engine belt, you know, the belt, and all those stuff. So there's a lot of damage so they totaled out the car.
