Transmission sounds like a wild turkey... Heck, after watching this channel all year, its just refreshing to see someone beleives their transmission is broken and has actually brought it to an expert for attention.
There are only two pedals and the brake pedal is 3 times wider than the gas pedal. Now I know why they drive automatics, a third pedal will be to confusing.
I often wonder why customers do these things. I'm usually able to accept the fact that I may never find out. BUT. I really need to know why the washers were full of gas. It's really going to bother me
The bent steering wheel reminded me of a guy I worked with years ago. In the office he was normal, but behind the wheel something possessed him. He'd rant about some political thing or other, while doing twenty over the limit, banging the steering wheel, and getting spit all over the inside of the windshield. I only rode with him once, but once was enough.
Those are the sort I enjoy driving my car in front of at EXACTLY the same speed as the car to my right. Maybe I'll speed up a bit or slow down at times.
Oh bitch please, be a passenger (twice I was, by two different people) with a mether high as shit (which why uppers ain't allowed in racing, inTENSE precision weaving in traffic).

If you don't change the beneficiary on the life insurance policy it will still pay out to the person, a lot of people forget that little detail. My ex died in 2020 of 'rona, hadn't spoken to him in 15 yrs or seen him. I found out by doing a search last year on "unclaimed property" in every state I'd lived in and realized I had a 30K insurance policy pay out, the current wife was in a legal battle to try and get it but she wasn't beneficiary on that policy. She also lost that legal battle.
With my ex wife if she was determined to be within 500 yards of me at any time after our divorce was finalized she was not going to remain free. The terms of the restraining order were simple you come within 500 yards of him after leaving here today and all charges that are currently suspended will be filed immediately and you'll spend the rest of your life in prison. She never risked it.

Had a friend in Baha that had his fuel pump fail out in the dessert several miles away from his place. So he drained the washer fluid tank , dried it best he could, put gas in it, pulled the line from the pack man and put in to the top of the carburetor. Made it 20 miles back to his camp.

@@Jaeger73 kerosene was a common radiator fill for the winter months back in the day. It doesn't cool as effectively as water so in the summer it will cause an overheat. However it didn't require frequent topping up with alcohol if you stuck to water. In the spring. Drain it out and burn it in the stove.
This is a running joke for workers at my job as everyone has to have cones, and pretty much everyone forgets to grab them when driving off once in a while. In my experience though, I have never seen anyone not immediately know that they were doing this.
My wife just left home and after couple of minutes heard an explosion under the hood,she stopped the car and called me. After a short look i found my son's football(soccer) baloon stucked between the front wheel and chassis,wich after being frictioned by the break disk...made BOOM😄
that reminds me of the old joke in Amish country where the guy is driving a buggy and has the horse's reigns around the horse's balls... as a parking brake!
Customer states the horse makes a whining noise... mechanic discovered the noise came from a cat stuck under the saddle, and also noticed the horse had only one leg... customer declined repairs.
1). Did you check to make sure there wasn't a wild turkey under the car? 2). Is there really a good time to find a washer reservoir completely filled with gasoline?
My old Crown Vic started smelling strongly of burned wire insulation. Looked under, realized there was a plastic bag melted to the exhaust under the car. Must gave run over it. Good thing I didn't go to a shop 😅
That wouldn’t have been embarrassing in my view. Better safe than sorry when it comes to smells like that in cars. Most good shops probably wouldn’t charge you (or charge much) if they figured it out quickly.
There were a couple clips that gave me chills . The angle iron that impaled that vehicle and that broken spring waiting for the first bump at highway speeds . Reminds me of the movie Final Destination 1 2 3 4 5 and yes 6 is confirmed . the gasoline in the washer jug and cut brake line were in the deleted scenes or should be .
Did you notice that there was a pincher on the brake line on the broken spring car? And an old one, as it was rusted. No brakes, no suspension, Totally safe, for sure!
@@chefchaudard3580 It seems at times alot of clips from this channel are ripped from a scene from this movie . lol . or the potential outcome is there .
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS You could very well be right although this spring breaking is a common problem across all brands it seems , something we see every once in a while here at our shop and yes some have fallen off on the highway when its unloaded going over a bump but nothing as dramatic as i am imagining .
I once had a f150 with broken springs on both sides, a heater that I had to take the dashboard apart to turn off and on. Windows that would go down but not back up. It was just flat worn out. Oh yeah broken body mount too. There was so much wrong with it where would you start. But sometimes it is all you got. I drove it for 3 years before it died. The harmonic balancer came off. And ruined the radiator. That was after hitting a deer. So sometimes I can understand declined repairs. As a mechanic I have had to forgo my own before. Times do get tough.
@@ziggybowman6875 Because murder requires the specific intent to kill. And while, yes, someone who cuts their ex's brake lines is likely hoping to get them killed, proving that intention in court beyond a reasonable doubt is basically impossible. The defendant can easily argue that their intention was not to kill but to harm. Any prosecutor would have a much easier time proving manslaughter than murder.
unfortunately its not, i have a friend who had an ex attempt to cut his braided brake lines and he pressed charges and it was attempted manslaughter @@EmperorHelix
@@JayStrang1 If it did actually result in death, depending on the state, depraved indifference murder charges might stick. It refers to when the perpetrator acted with such a complete and depraved indifference to the life and well-being of another person, that it’s considered the same as criminal intent.
It's no wonder why America has by far the worst road accident rate and highest motor insurance premiums in the first world. Is America ever going to join the rest of the first-world and introduce federal-level mandatory annual vehicle safety inspections, and powers of seizure of unsafe vehicles?
@@rearspeaker6364Russia, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India and the USA, defeated the Germans, Austrians, Italians, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, and Finnish. Don't make out that the USA did it all on its own because it didn't. The USA was the last ally to show up in European theatre, didn't get in gear until the final 2 years and, and with the exception of industry, made the smallest overall contribution. And it was the same in the Pacific theatre. Per 100,000 of population, the UK ranks 9th for road deaths at 2.9 deaths per 100K each year. The USA ranks 75th with 12.9 deaths per 100K each year. It is by far the worst country in the 1st world for road safety. It even ranks worse than many 2nd and 3rd world countries. It has the most expensive motor insurance premiums in the world. Annual motor insurance premiums in the UK are 3-4 times cheaper than what they are in the USA. Your complete lack of adequate vehicle safety regulation and enforcement is not doing you any favours whatsoever.
@@JD-wn3cc That is quite likely. More and more of our cars are plastic, and different plastics for different functions. The plastic that is meant to encounter petroleum products is resistant, while the plastic that is not meant for that can melt away. Similar to how there are different sealants for different fluid exposures.
Gasoline/petrol/diesel in a washer bottle is a definite no-no. However you can safely use Methylated Spirits, at the rate of up to 30%, added to water only, or slightly soapy water. For folks living in milder climates where the special "anti-freeze" window wash liquids are not easily available, then one can just use water and mix in some Methylated Spirits to stop it freezing (Meths usually available at hardware stores and some supermarkets). Remember that those various household "streak free glass cleaners" contain a small amount of a similar alcohol based ingredient.
The kayak is my personal favorite. I’m in Colorado. I have actually heard someone complain about their Subaru making noise every time their bike is on it. 😂😂😂. Love these posts. Can’t believe I just now found them!👏👏👏

The washer fluid reservoir with gas is pretty good, but leaving in that .75 seconds of the clip to let him get in that “it’s too early for this shit” was the chefs kiss
I had a customer that brought her Wrangler in and said that it would only go about 45 mph and the engine was very loud. I found that she'd been driving it around in 4 lo the whole time. Upon instruction, she admitted that she didn't know what that other lever did. Fortunately, no damage was done.
@@vs-ww7cbLol indeed! I worked with a guy who left his car for scheduled service. That day, wind caught the dumpster at the shop and blew it across the parking lot...yep, into his car. RO: 30k service. Parts: oil filter, air filter, rear passenger door, rear quarter panel.... 🙃

Awww, that guy might be having a dance whilst waiting for the oil to drain into the sump, or waiting for the oil to stop dripping out. I'd be quite pleased if the mechanic gave it plenty of time to drain out the old oil.
These never get old dude 👌 Turkey one was so accurate 🤣 and why... How... Gas instead of washer fluid... 😮🤔🤷♂️🤦♂️ Speechless 🤣🤣 Have a great week bud 👍
If an oil change takes longer than 15 minutes on the average car, something is up. I'm out of shape with arthritic knees and it takes me about 20 minutes to change the oil on my father's civic.
Cut it out, guys. My sides are aching from laughter. Let's face it, some folks should still be driving a horse and buggy. At least the horse knew the way home.
You know, whenever I hear a "grinding noise" coming from my vehicle I always look myself to see if there is anything apparent causing it before I'd even think about taking it to a mechanic. Never in all my years has a grinding noise ever turned out to be something as easy to correct as a pylon stuck in my steering/suspension. Guess I'm just not that lucky.
@@Batmann_ I don't understand any of your mentalities. If you are hired to do a job, do it to the best of your ability. Don't slack off. That's an axiom
@@SJHFotoI somewhat agree. But, maybe you've not been in the work force very long or maybe you just have a good job. What you'll find in a lot of jobs is that by doing a great job, you get rewarded with more work. You don't really get things like raises or progression. You'll find that even after years of good work, people are easily expendable and without remorse. A lot of companies, in general, don't really give a sht about their employees. So, yes, I think good work ethic is a good thing. But giving your job 110% and being the best ever, often doesn't get you much. Obviously, these are generalizations and don't apply to everywhere, but you get the idea. Lastly, on a much less serious note, most places have laws that require you be alloted breaks every once in a while. And even without a break, like in this instance, maybe he's just waiting for the oil to drain.
Just discovered this channel. As a pro mechanic, this is brilliant stuff! There is no way we could ever run such a channel here in Europe, because our cars have to go through a yearly technical inspection, and are approved to drive or not depending on what's wrong. You get either a green card (which is a pass), or a red one (fail) containing an exact list of precisely what needs fixing. The content on this channel is just never seen over here, I am truly impressed! The creativity some people have is mind-boggling (and the obvious lack of common sense, on top of no knowledge whatsoever)! It's hilarious! I have just subscribed. Please keep them coming! And please, people, understand that you don't become a mechanic by watching tutorials or reading forums! Hahaha!
same in australia, yearly inspection, you fail it you have to get the problem fixed or walk home. And the car can't be registered for the next year if you fail it, so cops with number plate cameras are gonna see it straight away if you try to drive around unregistered. Good idea, like the metric system not applied in the US!
@@vulpes122 Urinate on the wretched European metric system. Cooked up by some wretched French revolutionaries. No thanks! The British (Imperial) system is perfect. It is made from real things on each person, so that even if you lose a ruler or tape measure, you can can still measure things. Real things: A Foot ---> The King's foot with a shoe/boot on it. (same as myself) is 12 inches. 3 feet make a yard. A Yard is the length of a man's pace,,,(unless you are a midget). An inch is the width of a man's thumb joint side to side.
You are probably the same type of customer that is ask to bring in all your tools, because you have no mechanical or technical skills or knowledge what so ever!!!! If, you did, you would know not to piss off technician or mechanic. (period)
A customer had a friend pick them up from our EV charging station at our shop. When he backed out he ran over a large cone we use, I was 20 feet away and yelled at them and waved my hands but to no avail. They drove off with the cone jammed in between the lower and upper control arm.
the piece of steel puncturing through the car from another drivers unsecured load is honestly one of my fears, how the carelessness of someone else could lead you to a Final Destination style death. In this case the drivers were obviously OK, but I'm sure we've all seen LiveLeak videos where bad BAD things happened.
I wish I had taken pics when one of the leafs in my F150's rear spring broke. I couldn't get it out, so I put about ten zip ties on it and drove 25 mph to the shop. Scared to death I would fly off and injure someone.
Ive seen a steel pole run through the drivers seat with clothing bit attached. someone walked away with millimeters to spare. Most press wont cover final destination ones for obvious reasons.
Love your videos! Is there any way to add reaction time between videos? I find myself having to pause and rewind because I'm so shocked and miss the beginning of the next one.😂
In reference to the navigation not having voice guidance on. As much as I hate some of the exorbitant prices out there to get your car worked on, I sincerely hope that the shops charge them a full diagnostic fee and an hour of labor when these idiots bring their car in for something they could have fixed if they had half a brain.

yes, they don't make the batteries like they used to
Has me remembering that line from the Hot Shots movie about a multioptalpupiloptomy.
Or when the peddles get switched after an oil change and you drive through the door
Yeah I don't understand that one. Did someone put a floor jack under the oil pan?
why would the shop allow a customer drive a vehicle into the shop in the first place??@@MarylandFarmer.
I do the same dance when i finally find the 10mm socket I dropped in the engine bay 2 hours earlier.
🤣😂🤣 it's always the 10mm!!
The other day I noticed something shiny on the road in front of my house. Had a look, it was a brand new spanner. Guess what size it was???
I rarely actually laugh out loud, but that kayak and the mysterious wind noise got me 😂
I ran service departments for years and you wouldn't believe what customers say and do almost every day.
The ignorance of cars from people now a days is mind-boggling
Every days, we just have easy ways to share now
Both my dad and grand dad were mechanics and told us all some of the stupidest customer stories they had. At the time I honestly believed they were making up most of the stories just to make us all laugh.
Watching this channel, I've realised they were definetly telling the truth lol
They're good only on describing noises
Ungifted people are not a recent phenomenon. 😄
Well, modern cars are not built to be understood by customers
That groovy tech put a smile on my face. Might as well enjoy your work! 😊
He's got to let the oil drain for a few minutes, anyway!
@@bbgun061 That's true. So, he wasn't just burning labour time after all!

He's just having a good time!
Hey, I want happy people working on my car. If they need a dance break, I'm good with that! 😊
I honesyly thought they filled the washer bottle with piss..
I was horrified to be told it was fuel... Why... WHY???
PISS would have been preferable.
Because they urinated into three different glasses, put them into the mini fridge for the housekeepers to find and checked out of The Glacier View Lodge. True story. I was the housekeeper who found the glasses full of piss.
Used to work on a locksmiths van , he always had 2 liter bottles of piss rolling around inside lol.. hey I didn't fault the guy , bad neighborhoods etc, stay in your vehicle locked up.😂
@@vs-ww7cb That bad neighborhood? I can't imagine something like that, I'd just move the country at that point.
You’ve heard of a rain dance? That mechanic is performing a drain dance 🕺 3:05
😅🤣😅
it was the last car of the day.
The guy who used 4lo...Man you are a Darwin candidate.
Maybe before he has kids?
The thing is he said I have no idea how to use 4wd..... than why get something with 4wd???
@@christopherrosas2738 The manufactures should really put the instructions in a book or something, maybe place that book somewhere in the vehicle.
@@hateferlife And even a better idea,America should copy the mandatory drive school,psichological exam , the driving test and the mandatory inspection legislation from Europe,otherwise it's like an wild western movie on the roads.
Gas in the windshield washing reservoir was a "Holy F***!" Moment.
definetly a new one.
Just needed to turn the nozzles to face forward and tape a lit zippo in front of them.
Yeah, I was just thinking "Dude's lucky it didn't spray"
An uncle of mine "thought" that the gas went in the radiator.
@@Jaeger73 kerosene was a common radiator fill for the winter months back in the day. It doesn't cool as effectively as water so in the summer it will cause an overheat. However it didn't require frequent topping up with alcohol if you stuck to water. In the spring. Drain it out and burn it in the stove.
I saw someone driving around with a traffic cone under their car a while back. Good to see they found it
This is a running joke for workers at my job as everyone has to have cones, and pretty much everyone forgets to grab them when driving off once in a while. In my experience though, I have never seen anyone not immediately know that they were doing this.
My wife just left home and after couple of minutes heard an explosion under the hood,she stopped the car and called me. After a short look i found my son's football(soccer) baloon stucked between the front wheel and chassis,wich after being frictioned by the break disk...made BOOM😄
200 years ago, this series was called: "Just Trotted In".
Oh, how I pity those poor Horses!
Customer states: "his horse sounds like an old VW when going up hills".
that reminds me of the old joke in Amish country where the guy is driving a buggy and has the horse's reigns around the horse's balls... as a parking brake!
Customer states the horse makes a whining noise... mechanic discovered the noise came from a cat stuck under the saddle, and also noticed the horse had only one leg... customer declined repairs.
I felt bad for that horse with
the traffic cone stuck up his
patootie 😧. The tail hid it at
1st , but the LOUD Farts finally
gave it away.
The folks at De-Trott have some very strange design ideas ;) .
1). Did you check to make sure there wasn't a wild turkey under the car?
2). Is there really a good time to find a washer reservoir completely filled with gasoline?
My old Crown Vic started smelling strongly of burned wire insulation.
Looked under, realized there was a plastic bag melted to the exhaust under the car. Must gave run over it.
Good thing I didn't go to a shop 😅
That wouldn’t have been embarrassing in my view. Better safe than sorry when it comes to smells like that in cars. Most good shops probably wouldn’t charge you (or charge much) if they figured it out quickly.
That happened to me and it was almost impossible to get all the melted plastic off. Stank for days.
I have done my own oil change several times now and can confirm that the dance is crucial to the process.
😂
The dude with the steering wheel some serious anger issues, I feel sorry for any living thing in orbit of him.
Del Griffith is responsible for that.
remember cars? they usually try to avoid caution cones
1:33 yeah, the ex-wife should be charged with attempted murder.
And a death penalty/sentence
There were a couple clips that gave me chills . The angle iron that impaled that vehicle and that broken spring waiting for the first bump at highway speeds . Reminds me of the movie Final Destination 1 2 3 4 5 and yes 6 is confirmed . the gasoline in the washer jug and cut brake line were in the deleted scenes or should be .
Did you notice that there was a pincher on the brake line on the broken spring car? And an old one, as it was rusted.
No brakes, no suspension,
Totally safe, for sure!
@@chefchaudard3580 It seems at times alot of clips from this channel are ripped from a scene from this movie . lol . or the potential outcome is there .
I think the spring was fine under tension, just loose when unsprung
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS You could very well be right although this spring breaking is a common problem across all brands it seems , something we see every once in a while here at our shop and yes some have fallen off on the highway when its unloaded going over a bump but nothing as dramatic as i am imagining .
I once had a f150 with broken springs on both sides, a heater that I had to take the dashboard apart to turn off and on. Windows that would go down but not back up. It was just flat worn out. Oh yeah broken body mount too. There was so much wrong with it where would you start. But sometimes it is all you got. I drove it for 3 years before it died. The harmonic balancer came off. And ruined the radiator. That was after hitting a deer. So sometimes I can understand declined repairs. As a mechanic I have had to forgo my own before. Times do get tough.
Not often you see actual attempted murder on JRI.
I've seen a semi with a traffic barrel stuck beneath it on the freeway before , so a traffic cone doesn't surprise me.
Worse was the poor guy dragging a dead skunk!
The person with the bent steering wheel has some bad roadrage... thats crazy
Probably a very nice customer!
cutting someone's brake lines is attempted manslaughter.
How is it only manslaughter?
@@ziggybowman6875 it's attempted murder.
@@ziggybowman6875 Because murder requires the specific intent to kill. And while, yes, someone who cuts their ex's brake lines is likely hoping to get them killed, proving that intention in court beyond a reasonable doubt is basically impossible. The defendant can easily argue that their intention was not to kill but to harm. Any prosecutor would have a much easier time proving manslaughter than murder.
unfortunately its not, i have a friend who had an ex attempt to cut his braided brake lines and he pressed charges and it was attempted manslaughter @@EmperorHelix
@@JayStrang1 If it did actually result in death, depending on the state, depraved indifference murder charges might stick. It refers to when the perpetrator acted with such a complete and depraved indifference to the life and well-being of another person, that it’s considered the same as criminal intent.
I love this channel and all the videos that are presented! Some of the messed up stuff shown is just unbelievable....
It's no wonder why America has by far the worst road accident rate and highest motor insurance premiums in the first world. Is America ever going to join the rest of the first-world and introduce federal-level mandatory annual vehicle safety inspections, and powers of seizure of unsafe vehicles?
No, cuz you'll hear the rednecks screaming "Muh freedums!" And there might be some lead slinging on top of it cuz that is also a thing here.
thats why we left britan, and defeated the germans in the first place!!
@@rearspeaker6364 Russians defeated Germans
@@rearspeaker6364Russia, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India and the USA, defeated the Germans, Austrians, Italians, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, and Finnish. Don't make out that the USA did it all on its own because it didn't. The USA was the last ally to show up in European theatre, didn't get in gear until the final 2 years and, and with the exception of industry, made the smallest overall contribution. And it was the same in the Pacific theatre.
Per 100,000 of population, the UK ranks 9th for road deaths at 2.9 deaths per 100K each year. The USA ranks 75th with 12.9 deaths per 100K each year. It is by far the worst country in the 1st world for road safety. It even ranks worse than many 2nd and 3rd world countries. It has the most expensive motor insurance premiums in the world. Annual motor insurance premiums in the UK are 3-4 times cheaper than what they are in the USA. Your complete lack of adequate vehicle safety regulation and enforcement is not doing you any favours whatsoever.
I'm glad we don't have mandatory inspections because then my performance modified car which is completely safe would be deemed illegal.
Whilst im surprised someone put gas in their washer bottle, i think im more surprised that the washers didnt still at least spray the gas out.
Damaged the hoses and pump.
@@JustRolledIn ah, like degraded the plastic or rubber material,.that's only meant to handle soapy water?
@@JD-wn3cc That is quite likely.
More and more of our cars are plastic, and different plastics for different functions. The plastic that is meant to encounter petroleum products is resistant, while the plastic that is not meant for that can melt away.
Similar to how there are different sealants for different fluid exposures.
Gasoline/petrol/diesel in a washer bottle is a definite no-no. However you can safely use Methylated Spirits, at the rate of up to 30%, added to water only, or slightly soapy water. For folks living in milder climates where the special "anti-freeze" window wash liquids are not easily available, then one can just use water and mix in some Methylated Spirits to stop it freezing (Meths usually available at hardware stores and some supermarkets). Remember that those various household "streak free glass cleaners" contain a small amount of a similar alcohol based ingredient.
@@KiwiCatherineJemmausing meths for random things… name checks out! If it was an Aussie, would have called it “metho” 😂
The last clip. I dont have a problem with that at all once in a while as hey we all need a brake from time to time 😁👍

"too early for this sh*t""

It's common knowledge when you hear grinding to just ignore it and turn up the stereo and it will definitely quit eventually.
Society is collapsing. These videos are the only proof I need.
At least it is in America!

Awww, that guy might be having a dance whilst waiting for the oil to drain into the sump, or waiting for the oil to stop dripping out. I'd be quite pleased if the mechanic gave it plenty of time to drain out the old oil.
Oh man that guy’s lawyer is gonna have a field day if they have any video of her showing up to the house!
These never get old dude 👌
Turkey one was so accurate 🤣 and why... How... Gas instead of washer fluid... 😮🤔🤷♂️🤦♂️ Speechless 🤣🤣
Have a great week bud 👍
The turkey one and the gas in the washer fluid was my favorite 😂. You as well my friend! 👍
That's not even the first time I've seen gasoline in the washer fluid reservoir on this channel.
I had to pause the video for that one.

Nice closer, any more shop dancers:)?
"...was later told by the customer he doesn't know how to use four-wheel drive." The first step is admitting you have a problem

If an oil change takes longer than 15 minutes on the average car, something is up.
I'm out of shape with arthritic knees and it takes me about 20 minutes to change the oil on my father's civic.
If it takes less than 15 min. then they most likely have sucked the oil insted of do it properly and drain it out like it supposed to do.
I change my own so I let the oil drain for an hour. @@XtreeM_FaiL

Cut it out, guys. My sides are aching from laughter. Let's face it, some folks should still be driving a horse and buggy. At least the horse knew the way home.
You know, whenever I hear a "grinding noise" coming from my vehicle I always look myself to see if there is anything apparent causing it before I'd even think about taking it to a mechanic.
Never in all my years has a grinding noise ever turned out to be something as easy to correct as a pylon stuck in my steering/suspension.
Guess I'm just not that lucky.
But you'd wait at least 2 weeks, right?
These aren't your Dads car owners!
We should all be as happy as the dancing mechanic! (Hopefully, not on company time though)
*Especially* on company time.

Screw that, either give me a 4 day work week or I get dance breaks.
No one wants to be a corporate slave. Work SHOULD BE FUN!
@@Batmann_ I don't understand any of your mentalities. If you are hired to do a job, do it to the best of your ability. Don't slack off. That's an axiom
@@SJHFotoI somewhat agree. But, maybe you've not been in the work force very long or maybe you just have a good job. What you'll find in a lot of jobs is that by doing a great job, you get rewarded with more work. You don't really get things like raises or progression. You'll find that even after years of good work, people are easily expendable and without remorse.
A lot of companies, in general, don't really give a sht about their employees.
So, yes, I think good work ethic is a good thing. But giving your job 110% and being the best ever, often doesn't get you much.
Obviously, these are generalizations and don't apply to everywhere, but you get the idea.
Lastly, on a much less serious note, most places have laws that require you be alloted breaks every once in a while. And even without a break, like in this instance, maybe he's just waiting for the oil to drain.
Just discovered this channel. As a pro mechanic, this is brilliant stuff! There is no way we could ever run such a channel here in Europe, because our cars have to go through a yearly technical inspection, and are approved to drive or not depending on what's wrong. You get either a green card (which is a pass), or a red one (fail) containing an exact list of precisely what needs fixing. The content on this channel is just never seen over here, I am truly impressed! The creativity some people have is mind-boggling (and the obvious lack of common sense, on top of no knowledge whatsoever)! It's hilarious! I have just subscribed. Please keep them coming! And please, people, understand that you don't become a mechanic by watching tutorials or reading forums! Hahaha!
same in australia, yearly inspection, you fail it you have to get the problem fixed or walk home. And the car can't be registered for the next year if you fail it, so cops with number plate cameras are gonna see it straight away if you try to drive around unregistered. Good idea, like the metric system not applied in the US!
There are states in the U.S. that require yearly inspections. I happen to live in one and I am so glad I do!😄
@@cherylmoore7408 I am sure you are. 🙂 some of these, how can I put it, technical failures, are truly impressive!
@@cherylmoore7408 The overpriced mechanics / garages luuuuuve the idea / law of annual inspections. No thanks!
@@vulpes122 Urinate on the wretched European metric system. Cooked up by some wretched French revolutionaries. No thanks! The British (Imperial) system is perfect. It is made from real things on each person, so that even if you lose a ruler or tape measure, you can can still measure things. Real things: A Foot ---> The King's foot with a shoe/boot on it. (same as myself) is 12 inches. 3 feet make a yard. A Yard is the length of a man's pace,,,(unless you are a midget). An inch is the width of a man's thumb joint side to side.
I love when the description is spot on.
I would check underneath the car for a turkey. 🤣🤣🤣
The mechanic was just warming his engine like the owner's manual says to before an oil change.

You have any idea how much force you need to apply in order to bend a steering wheel like that?
Looks like the oil change I got at Firestone. I went out in the shop and told them to go to work. The manager was afraid to tell them.

Great video as always!
A customer had a friend pick them up from our EV charging station at our shop. When he backed out he ran over a large cone we use, I was 20 feet away and yelled at them and waved my hands but to no avail. They drove off with the cone jammed in between the lower and upper control arm.
the piece of steel puncturing through the car from another drivers unsecured load is honestly one of my fears, how the carelessness of someone else could lead you to a Final Destination style death. In this case the drivers were obviously OK, but I'm sure we've all seen LiveLeak videos where bad BAD things happened.
I wish I had taken pics when one of the leafs in my F150's rear spring broke. I couldn't get it out, so I put about ten zip ties on it and drove 25 mph to the shop. Scared to death I would fly off and injure someone.
Ive seen a steel pole run through the drivers seat with clothing bit attached. someone walked away with millimeters to spare. Most press wont cover final destination ones for obvious reasons.
The number of times the fix is just a simple press of a button just astounds me.
Love your videos! Is there any way to add reaction time between videos? I find myself having to pause and rewind because I'm so shocked and miss the beginning of the next one.😂
In reference to the navigation not having voice guidance on. As much as I hate some of the exorbitant prices out there to get your car worked on, I sincerely hope that the shops charge them a full diagnostic fee and an hour of labor when these idiots bring their car in for something they could have fixed if they had half a brain.
At least read the manual.
Aww, leave the nice techy alone. He's just having fun and obviously liked the song. LOL
Best line was that mechanic saying its too early for this 😂
Doesn't know how to use 4WD is quite the understatement!!
I wish my customers were this good at describing noises. It’s like pulling teeth with these people 😂
