When I was growing up, my mother had a rule that my father absolutely could not work on their cars. Watching some of these videos makes me wonder just what my father would have done had my mother not had that rule. :)
In high school I told my mechanic father that I hit a rock with my car. Which I did, I just left out the part that I did it while hill jumping on a dirt road. He didn't buy it and I rode the bus for a month until he decided to fix my car.
@@jefferymccormick3380 I got pretty close to doing that back in highschool with my old 94 celica. Was out in the country late at night doing some "spirited driving" and came up to a decreasing radius corner a little too fast, i felt the car understeering right twards a ditch. Luckily I did the right thing and didnt lock up the brakes, instead just let off the gas and lightly tapped the brakes to where the back end rotated a little faster. Was a pucker moment for sure, I decided at that moment that If its a blind corner, and you cant see it in full to always play it safe.
😂 I'm pretty sure I posted a photo in a previous episode of somebody who actually did that. Also a customer used a belt to hold up their exhaust and belted it up to their driveshaft.
Not true. There are plenty corrupt shops that actually damage cars in order to drum up more work. One of these shops was famously featured on 20/20 where hidden cameras actually caught mechanics doing extremely deplorable things.
A PSA for anyone that's dealing with hot glue. Just spray a little of isopropyl alcohol over the glue, let it soak a few seconds, and then try to pry the blob. IPA makes wonders cleaning hot glue.. You don't even have to rub residues..
Good idea: I. alcohol also gets stickers off of windows; soak a few seconds to dissolve the glue, and then clean window. Learned that in a grocery store.
I didn't believe that when I heard it because I knew it wouldn't disolve the glue... But I tried it, turns out it works it's magic on the bond and it just pops right off with some wiggling.
I've seen far too many "big rock" stories in real life. Apparently giant rocks at gas stations are meant to be hit and dragged under trucks. I've seen it at least 3 times in the last few years alone.
You mean those rocks they sometimes place to prevent drivers from taking shortcuts over the green strip because they are too lazy to properly turn the wheel and stay on the pavement?
@@Bird_Dog00 dude it's so crazy. They don't even want into the gas station for gas they just want to do the most janky UTurn ever and go back the way they came but they always miss the entrance. Just mind melting. Hell I've even been in a schoolbus where they pulled into a gas station and did a 15 point turn and hit an electric sign and rode on the green with like 25 kids in it. Gas stations never cease to amaze me
Considering it has some off road modifications like the winch it might have happened off road but most jeeps never go there, instead they're driven by people you just described
@@enjoyingend1939 Agreed: I was just about to comment that sometimes, people see things like rocks in the road as a challenge, not a barrier (like that Jeep driver.)
Why do people always lie about what they've done to their cars? Just own up to it and tell the shop straight up. It will help them fix/diagnose problems. We've all done some stupid shit. Just own up to it and move on.
I took my Volkswagen into the shop, and after they looked at it, they asked me if I had been in an accident because a cross-member below the radiator was gone. I told them no, I hadn't been in an accident. Then I thought about it for a while, and remembered some months before on the freeway I struck something HARD, but didn't think much about it because I could keep driving and didn't leak any fluids or anything. Oops.
First time I have ever seen a leak repaired with a c-clamp! Must be a top-notch mechanic with extra skills. And... The problem with plastic fuel tanks is that thieves don't have to worry about blowing up when they drill holes. That's just a really rude thing to do.
They don't have to worry anyway. If they are drilling the bottom of the tank, the hole is covered by liquid gas. A spark will not be likely to ignite that. People often misunderstand this. You can take a lit match and throw it into a bucket of gasoline and if you didn't let gas vapor build up above the bucket yet, it will just extinguish the match.
@@stinkycheese804 ... while more and more cordless drills are brushless these days, I'm not sure it's worth the gamble to drain a tank with a drill INSIDE a shop that also has a million bucks worth of cars and tools... not to mention the business interruption a fire might cause. Oh yeah, you could also set yourself on fire and do some serious damage there as well. There are safer ways to do this.
I use a skidloader with a rock bucket or my loaderdozer or excavator on big rocks,not my vehicle.Seriously though I thought the foil wrapped flattened Twinkies were a mystery but also a nice change.Just Rolled in never ceases to amaze me.A short clip,hours of laughs and head shakes.Only problem is is that these drivers are on the roads with us.
As a retired auto mechanic i have said before that i love your video s. Ran across a a copycat version of your video s and it was horrible The narrator was terrible, I said that in their comments. The narrator here is perfect. Love you folks and keep up the good work
When I was a teen a friend did that. He asked for help installing neons (back when they were real neon tubes) and I said sure, bring the car over sometime and we'll do it. Later on I am over his house and he's like "check it out, I installed my neons!" He just zip ties everything to the chassis, and wood screwed the neon brackets into the rocker trim. He hooked the switch up to the battery and routed the wire through the door seal and screwed it to the dash. It was absolute sh1te, just like that truck. Wires zip tied to suspension components and brackets.
@@volvo09 lmfao. I think I did my first ever work like that. And my dad chewed me out for it. I spend the weekend doing it the right way. It was back in the day when amps and subs were “cool”.
The trailer wiring harness adapter on the '97 Jeep Grand Cherokee I bought has a 12v power wire wire going to the battery where it briefly turns yellow,, the rest of the wire is black, 'cause you know, power wires shouldn't be bright colors like red or yellow or orange. The wire goes under / thru / around / over the frame, across the rear differential, and up into the rear of the Jeep below the drivers side tail light to some sort of trailer adapter box I'm assuming is to make the trailer lights work with whatever body module controls the lights. I've disconnected it and will remove the wire before the Jeep sees the road, it's very sketchy, but surprisingly it was fused.
I like how owners of sophisticated looking vehicles like that jeep seem and usually behave like wont-hear-a-word pros in a conversation but when they get in trouble they go to the shop not only whining but also not having a clue about what's going on with their cars not to mention during them screwing it up.
0:50 Drilling holes in gas tanks and stealing catalytic converters seems to be more common these days (at least in the USA). I've never heard of it happening here though and hopefully it wont become common. It seems high risk drilling into a tank with a highly flammable liquid in it. Drill bits tend to get very hot when drilling metal.
I do repairs/roadside calls for U-Haul & we see this at least once a week. One location was hit a few weeks back, got 12 cats & drilled all the tanks. I ended up making about 8 grand off that fiasco. Sucks tho, scumbag thieves. Nothing seems to stop them short of a big mean-ass dog.
@@acemobile9806 The sound of a 12 gauge pump stopped a would be gas thief in my driveway last weekend real fast. So fast in fact that he left a real nice milwaukee cordless drill next to the car. He probably "obtained" the drill at a huge discount too though.
These videos are always entertaining and makes me wander why these people own vehicles. The clip with the run away tire, those people were blessed, it could’ve hit them.
01:56 I once saw someone driving on the freeway ~70 with their rear tire like this. It was at night so I hear the sound before I saw it. Amazing how well modern cars handle in this situation!
That Jeep with the broken axle is pretty impressive. I think the latest generation (JL/JT) have a cast section with an axle disconnect to improve MPG and this cast section is what breaks, but this looks like an older model without the cast disconnect section. That is just the axle tube and it is still broken clean in half. Impressive indeed. The speed and forces involved here were truly large.
The biggest thing that shocked me was the fact that a new (newish) car came without AC. I thought you couldnt buy a car without an AC since the 80s! Wow.
Idl why im addicted to these videos. Im cartarded and only know how to fix a flat and change tires. I dont even understand most of the issues shown in the video lol but its still fascinating
Another classic wiring guru! Had a millennial summer helper started messing with the heater/vent controls while I was driving. Asked what he was doing, his reply was he was turning on the ac. Problem was my 3500HD did not have ac. That didn't stop him, duh!!!
whatching people do things without knowing what they are doing is priceless. "Y'know you're doing it wrong now, bub?" - "What do you mean, there is nothign wrongWHYDISNOWORK"
Worked in a lube shop when I was a teenager. I remember this customer returning complaining her air conditioning didn’t work AFTER the car was serviced…. The manager of course looked at the car and found it did not an A/C system ever. No condenser, compressor, etc…It was a late 70s Toyota Corolla. Ultimately we had to call the police because she completely lost her mind….. to her credit, she dropped off the car in the morning and picked it up in the evening… temp change went from around 50 to 80 that day….
The car without AC reminds me of a customer who brought in a Chevy pickup he bought used because the four wheel drive didn't work. It was a two wheel drive truck.
2:48 reminds me of a story where an apprenticing car mechanic forgot to put the drain screw back in on a VW-LT van. refilled and refilled without the dipstick showing a single drop. 20 litres later someone noticed the lake of engine oil underneath the car... or somethign I witnessed, when they pushed the apprentice around so hard he forgot to drain the old oil. the poor old engine would barely run with twice the oil filling underneath the crankshaft... good thing the customer, waiting outside, didn't catch anything from it.
3:00 Brazil? Brazil. 0:55 Two words: Fleet Vehicle. If you want a blank palette to play with, buy a low mileage fleet vehicle. They are cheap as dirt, but will be missing some essentials that are a given to the regular motorist. Such as AC, power windows, power locks, satellite radio, and even the USB charger for your stuff.
I know it’s not what happened, but I’m imagining someone picking up their car after requested maintenance in a movie or something, and the mechanic lists the requested services after completion: “Let’s see here on the total. New piston rings, brake job, a complete change of oil… oh, and removing the burrito from the engine bay. That all comes to…”
I had a authorized dealer at a large facility install their brand new factory ordered truck cap on my F150. This dealer ran an accessory power wire to the back of the truck straight from the battery hanging out in the open underneath the truck zip tied to the suspension components and what ever else they could find to zip tie the wire to. There was no fuse anywhere in the wire it was live from the battery to the back of the truck waiting to ground out and possibly start a fire. I could not believe my eyes when I saw what they had done with that wire.
My Big Rock story is, having an oncoming dump truck drop a 1' chunk of limestone which started sliding flat down the highway. Almost successfully straddled it, but it hit the right front tire and gashed it.
Had a guy drive in on his rim once. I could hear him all the way across the lot. I asked him why he didn't put on his spare tire. He said it was only a few miles. I told him he needed a tire and a rim. He asked, "Don't they come together?" In a benz.
Mmm something about MB owners there... had a girl drive in with a year old CLA, said she wants to replace her rims with new ones since their 'nice color' faded. After a quick finger wipe we established hers were the same just with a year's worth of brake dust and muck since they were never washed.
@@Valks-22 Ha that's funny. You can tell when people don't clean their rims or rotate their tires. The front ones are dirtier. We had a girl come in 3 weeks overdue for state inspection. She drove in the shop, (which you're not supposed to do) through the wrong door, and screamed, "I need the cheapest tires you got!" I said, "On a lexus?" She yelled, "Just put 'em on!" So, I did, and she went and got her sticker.
@@Ogrematic around here every so often on a high-spec high-inch wheels of an Audi Q7/Q8, BMW X5, or similar I'll find tires I've never heard of. I guess their heart skips a beat when they realize what a full set of ~285/45/21s Michelin/Conti/Bridgestones cost.
I have never dropped a burrito in an engine bay. I dropped a whole mexican platter once with rice, beans, chimichunga with flan and a margarhitia and chips with salsa but that was only because I was having a rough afternoon. And yes, they were all on seperate plates.
where did that wheel come from? the lorry looked complete but fair play to the guy, he warned his friends in time for them all to get out of the way! 😇
When I saw foil packages hidden under the floor mat Twinkies wasn't the first thing that crossed my mind. It wasn't even the 52nd thing that I thought of! 😆
@@jimurrata6785 been funny as hell if driver had gotten stopped, cop looks under the mat & calls for backup, dogs, the works & then peel the foil back. He'd never live it down.
That person literally thought to themselves “Shit I just dropped my burrito in the engine bay… I guess I’ll take it to the auto shop and have them remove it for me.”
0:36 for MB steering scream: i think there is the same electric motor powered steering rack as on the V-class. I saw once all of the 3 screws that supposed to hold the motor to the rack just broke of and there is a 1-2cm wide belt which is toothed and because the motor is loose the pulley and the belt just making contact with each other when the motor tries to rotate the inner mechanic. It had the same sound.

If you must zip tie your wiring to something, use the drive shaft for quicker results!
Zip ties on a drive shaft are a an old prank, probably more than a few shops found this a time or two.
😂 I'm pretty sure I posted a photo in a previous episode of somebody who actually did that.
Also a customer used a belt to hold up their exhaust and belted it up to their driveshaft.
@@JustRolledIn lol yeah saw your video with the belt 😛
But, by avoiding the wires from hitting the ground, they now have them going across the exhaust.
Surprised that I haven't seen any pics on this channel of some idiot zip-tying wires to their wheels!

That tire easily weights around 110kg (220 imperial or so) so they do have a TON of kinetic energy in them if they get loose.
It was just a customer rolling in a bit too fast. And a bit too literally.
If I remember correctly, some people did die immediately from being smacked by a fast rolling tire...

@@mhfuzzball Gotcha, thnx.
2:48 reminds me of a story where an apprenticing car mechanic forgot to put the drain screw back in on a VW-LT van. refilled and refilled without the dipstick showing a single drop. 20 litres later someone noticed the lake of engine oil underneath the car...
or somethign I witnessed, when they pushed the apprentice around so hard he forgot to drain the old oil. the poor old engine would barely run with twice the oil filling underneath the crankshaft... good thing the customer, waiting outside, didn't catch anything from it.
3:00 Brazil? Brazil.
0:55 Two words: Fleet Vehicle. If you want a blank palette to play with, buy a low mileage fleet vehicle. They are cheap as dirt, but will be missing some essentials that are a given to the regular motorist. Such as AC, power windows, power locks, satellite radio, and even the USB charger for your stuff.
That tire could've killed them, scary to think you could be relaxing only to have a speeding tire break your neck.
Right, that chest freezer might have saved someones life by taking the impact
I know it’s not what happened, but I’m imagining someone picking up their car after requested maintenance in a movie or something, and the mechanic lists the requested services after completion: “Let’s see here on the total. New piston rings, brake job, a complete change of oil… oh, and removing the burrito from the engine bay. That all comes to…”
that dude that got the wrx for his 16 must be so happy
Time to upgrade that axle sport!😂😂😂
Custom made dana 60!
I had a authorized dealer at a large facility install their brand new factory ordered truck cap on my F150. This dealer ran an accessory power wire to the back of the truck straight from the battery hanging out in the open underneath the truck zip tied to the suspension components and what ever else they could find to zip tie the wire to. There was no fuse anywhere in the wire it was live from the battery to the back of the truck waiting to ground out and possibly start a fire. I could not believe my eyes when I saw what they had done with that wire.
My Big Rock story is, having an oncoming dump truck drop a 1' chunk of limestone which started sliding flat down the highway. Almost successfully straddled it, but it hit the right front tire and gashed it.
At the least the JEEP broke the axle tube doing what it was intended to do.
At least the beads are still on the wheels.
Jeep+rock=jeep hospital for 6 months.
Had a guy drive in on his rim once. I could hear him all the way across the lot. I asked him why he didn't put on his spare tire. He said it was only a few miles. I told him he needed a tire and a rim. He asked, "Don't they come together?"
In a benz.
Mmm something about MB owners there... had a girl drive in with a year old CLA, said she wants to replace her rims with new ones since their 'nice color' faded.
After a quick finger wipe we established hers were the same just with a year's worth of brake dust and muck since they were never washed.
@@Valks-22 Ha that's funny. You can tell when people don't clean their rims or rotate their tires. The front ones are dirtier.
We had a girl come in 3 weeks overdue for state inspection. She drove in the shop, (which you're not supposed to do) through the wrong door, and screamed, "I need the cheapest tires you got!" I said, "On a lexus?" She yelled, "Just put 'em on!" So, I did, and she went and got her sticker.
@@Ogrematic around here every so often on a high-spec high-inch wheels of an Audi Q7/Q8, BMW X5, or similar I'll find tires I've never heard of.
I guess their heart skips a beat when they realize what a full set of ~285/45/21s Michelin/Conti/Bridgestones cost.
@@Valks-22 Yeah. That's why my vehicles always have steel rims with standard-profile tires.
I have never dropped a burrito in an engine bay. I dropped a whole mexican platter once with rice, beans, chimichunga with flan and a margarhitia and chips with salsa but that was only because I was having a rough afternoon.
And yes, they were all on seperate plates.
Goddamn
Customers states ......... "Rats wont eat the burrito" 😀
Good job by the people in the last one. Got out of the danger zone quickly.
Dude 2:13 that "ah" scared the hell out of me.
Smart adding the other mechanic related videos not tied to a garage. You should go far.. nice work!
Never get tired of watch this stuff
I haven't seen a new car without AC. I didn't know they still existed.
2:14 The service writer mis-heard the customer. They said they hit IRAQ.
The tailgate 🫣😆
That one was funny 😅
I've seen speaker wires wrapped onto the wiper linkage by Circuit City.
"I ran over a rock"
**brings in car with entire left wheel and suspension ripped off**
where did that wheel come from? the lorry looked complete but fair play to the guy, he warned his friends in time for them all to get out of the way! 😇
No clue where that wheel came from but glad they got out of the way!
Me as a mechanic: "You gonna eat that Burrito?"
Same 😂
@@JustRolledIn Its literally warmed by the engine. Perfect breakfast for a cold morning.
We do have some big rocks in Washington. Also, where else would you store your twinkies?
Exactly! If you put the twinkies in the glove compartment, they'll melt all over the paperwork; cops don't like twinkie on the insurance cards! LOL
When I saw foil packages hidden under the floor mat Twinkies wasn't the first thing that crossed my mind.
It wasn't even the 52nd thing that I thought of! 😆
@@jimurrata6785 same here! Lol
@@jimurrata6785 been funny as hell if driver had gotten stopped, cop looks under the mat & calls for backup, dogs, the works & then peel the foil back. He'd never live it down.
@@jimurrata6785 I was honestly thinking Burritos, because of the Prior story.
Hey man thanks a ton for placing the black Jeep at the end of the video been building it up for a year now soon should be back running soon
It looks great 👍
Weird story time!
Today, I saw the exact same Frankenstein of two filters. Cheap persons way to not pay for a new filter
Thats no rock, son.
Thats a BOULDER.
!
We just had a car come in for brakes. Sent him away because his front end needs an entire rebuild.
Last one.
You picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel.
To keep hubcaps from rattling you put them on the right way or take them the phuck off.
There was some fusion going on in that Ford
Love the hot rod at the end.
1:16
Don't be mean
The car is hungry for a burrito too 😅
Wonderful as always!
Lmao the Jeep that has no AC settings! Lmao! dead!
My GF: "That tire... Just Rolled In..."
Keeper.
I don't know how some of these people make it this far in life. I... I... 🤯
I never knew there are cars that exists without an AC setting. Wow!
That poor burrito! Those poor Twinkies!
That person literally thought to themselves “Shit I just dropped my burrito in the engine bay… I guess I’ll take it to the auto shop and have them remove it for me.”
at 0:40 iv ran into this a few times, every time it has been a lack of power steering fluid, even being a little under the minimum line can do that.
0:36 for MB steering scream: i think there is the same electric motor powered steering rack as on the V-class. I saw once all of the 3 screws that supposed to hold the motor to the rack just broke of and there is a 1-2cm wide belt which is toothed and because the motor is loose the pulley and the belt just making contact with each other when the motor tries to rotate the inner mechanic. It had the same sound.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing. The tech who filmed that one said they never seen that issue yet at their dealership
They neglected to mention it was at 50mph!
Customer states: I ran over a crackhead that darted out across the middle of the road downtown and he's still stuck underneath
