OK. The short, free video titled: “Assessing a Cleaned Car and Racking the Gutted Parts” is a good example of why I am not renewing my subscription. It sounded promising, but delivered little. Nice shot of the gutted interior, but no assessment. And when the Host seemed surprised that all the removed parts were on the rack, why didn’t we get a look at it? The Technician claimed it was all there? Well, how does he organize it? I see the driver’s door hanging on the back, but where are the seats? In one of those little boxes? It seems like this video should have been longer.
