That time a shop in Tulsa tried to pass off Bondo work as a proper repair
I was helping out a buddy at his shop in Tulsa last summer and we got a car from another garage that was supposed to have a simple dent repair. But they'd just laid on a half inch of Bondo over rust and it cracked within a week. Now I always check for any weird thick spots before I accept a job from certain places. Anyone else seen this kind of hack work come through?

Honestly, the tapping trick only works if you know what a solid panel sounds like. For me, I'm the guy who would tap on it, nod like I know what I'm doing, and then take the car anyway. Last time I trusted my tapping skills I ended up with a quarter inch of Bondo hiding a hole you could put your fist through. My ear is basically useless, it just lies to me.
