Give me you best explanation

Honestly... NO FLIPPIN IDEA. //:o//

This

Wow I've never seen the body ripped from the chassis that clean before. it might even go back together.
-
On dumb fords they had to remove the cab to access the engine. Does the Yukon have any weird repair that requires unbolting the body from the frame?
My guess is the body was unbolted, jacked up, then COG shifted and the frame slipped off the lift
-
Body Lift and the body was not supported by the lift and that last bolt was holding it all together. I hope the guy wasn't injured.

Rust is a m&ther f@ck&r.
-
They may have lifted it by the body and not the frame.

Yearly frame rotation

They forgot to add Blinker Fluid.

This is one of my biggest fears in our shop. I have dropped a jet ski, lift arms kicked out, but never a car or truck. Some shops take the safeties off the arms on lifts that keep them from moving when in the air, so you can adjust them easier, thats what caused ours to kick out from under the ski (they were already off, we didnt do it). Id agree with whoever said that about picking it up by the body, not the frame. Or as new as the chassis looks it may have been a frame swap from a collision repair gone wrong, lifting the body to put back on the frame, but that doesnt explain how the chassis got upside down lol.

You can see the sign above says Paint Prep.
What happens in a situation like this? Does the customer get informed of the whole situation or does the body shop tell the customer there was additional damage and it will take longer?

I would hope. a shop thats honest would inform you of what happened and take "full" responsibility and make it right, it will extend the deadline, maybe add a rental if its going to take weeks to fix. over the 1st est. just my thoughts. insurance is a good thing for accidents like this. its why u pay a premium. .

assuming the shop has the correct insurance and the individual working on the vehicle is covered under the policy the first thing is to call and make a claim, once you know its covered then contact your customer and just say, sorry, what can we do to make this easier for you? If not, worse case, set that @#$# on fire and change your name.
