Each photo & video described.
These videos are meant to be educational and funny, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
0:00 Intro - Click show more under the video to read more.
0:05 Dodge Caliber. Hopefully, the customer either gets the rear sub-frame and other parts replaced or sends the car to the scrap yard. Looks like they have been driving around like this for a while.
0:16 Easy fix! Floormat on the accelerator pedal. Usually happens after the customer cleans out their car and reinstals the floor mats.
0:30 Not the first time we've seen a customer come in for a flat tire and not mention it. Scary that they didn't mention this to the shop and service advisor.
0:43 A cotter pin was installed before it left.
0:51 It even says capless fuel filler on the fuel filler neck. The service advisor should have caught this one!
1:01 The audio control module needed an update and master reset. The technician said that fixed the issue.
1:13 Let us know what you think this might have been. The technician said he'd never seen anything like this in 20 years and thought it looked like ants. He's unsure why the customer wouldn't want this cleaned out and the air filter replaced as they are most likely going to have more issues in the future.
1:23 A good reason to double-check and look underneath any vehicle you buy to make sure it's AWD or 4WD, etc. I also think it's the 5th letter in the VIN that can indicate if a vehicle is AWD or not.
1:31 Customer installed. At least it was an easy fix!
1:41 It was brought in for a service.
1:51 Thermostat installed backwards on this Subaru.
2:06 Hopefully the customer actually gets the frame fixed. The shop still installed new tires. You can also see that the exhaust is rusted out.
2:11 "He kept asking us if it was repairable, I think he didn't really fully grasp how terrible the state of his car was. We had to keep telling him it was illegal to drive a car like that here but he insisted on driving away with it. We pulled the starter relay after parking the vehicle outside and refusing to work on it (we didn't charge him a dime) and we called the police. The police checked our videos and photos of the car, and talked to the owner.
They gave him two options:
- get it towed to a scrapyard right away - get it towed to a DMV approved inspection center and submit it for a provincial inspection, which it will fail and they'll strike the VIN from the registrar. Then the vehicle would have to be towed to the scrapyard anyway.
He called a local scrapyard and got the vehicle towed away. We didn't charge him anything, we just prevented him from driving a deathtrap and potentially hurting himself and others. In Québec, we have a national taxpayer-funded healthcare system which means if he ends up maiming someone with his car, every taxpayer will have to pay for the medical bills, and our provincial government-owned road insurance policy which covers every citizen in case they get hurt in a road accident would pay an indemnity for him and his victims for the rest of their lives, thereby increasing the yearly driver's licence renewal cost of every citizen who owns a driver's licence in the province."
2:34 Hopefully the customer gets the wheel bearing replaced.
2:38 Hopefully they didn't try to drive for long like this. Could be an expensive repair for the brake system. The coolant system will most likely just need to be flushed or drained.
2:44 Another shop or the customer. Whoever did the work should not be trying to fix cars.
2:55 A customer went the wrong way after leaving the dealership.
3:02 Outro. Thanks for watching! - Авто та транспорт
Hope you have a great upcoming weekend! Stay warm.

Hey did you just add a store or not
what do you mean?
@@JustRolledIn An online store that sells items with your channel's logo on them such as coffee mugs and t shirts. Other channels that I check out advertise them.
because the costumer decline repairs doset not mean they did not get it fixt
As ever, I watch this, partly with a certain fascination; but with a growing sense of dread; because these (obviously moronic) knotheads are driving these rolling hazards on the same roads I use.
Never understood people who take their car to the repairshop with an obvious fault and then get shocked when it needs something repaired.
lack of money, $200 in the bank and 2000 in repairs on a $1500 dollar car.
Many people lack understanding of the word M A I N T E N A N C E.
@@elund408lack of brains. Did they think that ANY repair is going to cost $20?
@@ryanm4013the nut and cotter pin from the (fourth?) one might have been a $20 fix
@@ryanm4013 also cheapskates, not that they don’t have money, it is the expectation that a full oil change is $20 and proper professional diagnostics (tools, time, and experience) is for free.
"Filmed it with his toaster." That's gold, Jerry. Gold!
I had to go back and make sure I heard him right
Im probably the only other guy who gets that "gold" reference......good old Kenny Bania 🤣😂😂
Na. It looked more like it was shot on a potato. 😂
@@my3dviews A dirty potato.
said without a hint of humor or sarcasm too made it so much funnier
I sure hope "The customer declined repairs" is only half the sentence and the other half is "because they're going to have the car scrapped"
Let's hope so!
The other half of that sentence is usually "and drove away"
I hope they got the cops called on them and had the car took off the road before bad things happen
I'm hope that is the case for some. But others don't make sense, like that control arm missing bolt.
@@garyslentzii2796 Anywhere there is salt. Could just as easily be New England.
Another floor mat victim 🤦🏼♂️
Yeah, I'm no mechanic, but they missed out on coming to my newly-opened floormat adjustment shop. It's my specialty; that's why I'm so costly.
@@justinmitchell2164 I do it for half price. 😂
Yeap. My 20 year old son called me a few months back or so, to say his manual Caldina has crap acceleration with his foot flat. I diagnosed the "issue" from 360km away, over a phone call. "Go out and check your damn mats". I used to own the car, so I knew right away what was up.
"Problem" resolved.
I did that once when I was a kid, or at least an adolescent. Filled up at a gas station, hopped back in and pushed the mat on top of the pedal. When I cranked it, it instantly red-lined. Scared me that I shut it off out of instinct. Took me a few seconds to calm down and "diagnose" the pedal.
Hopefully now that MatPat is retiring we will see fewer of these cases.
If you have a friend install a timing belt, and the only thing that goes wrong is having to redo the thermostat, I say you're still a bit ahead of the game.
Definitely! I saw some oil leaking as well though. So who knows 😅
If they can't even get the thermostat in right, who knows what else they screwed up.
Let's just hope that's the ONLY thing
A domino effect of issues will lead to a big one
Always look at a "friend's" previous work !!
If they screwed up that thermostat that bad... then no doubt they messed up other things.
There are a lot of channels like this, but this is one of the few that responsibily (at least better than most) sources clips and actually cares about the level of quality.
Love you homie.
I really appreciate that. Trying my best!
@@JustRolledInand I personally appreciate that! Keep it up! I'll see you next week ;)
I know lol. Most of the other channels upload fake videos just to get put on UA-cam
Or one new video with a bunch of re used ones to pad the length
I love how jri interacts with his community. Truly great stuff
How many times do we see a customer complain about an issue that turns out to be the floor mat, a piece of jewelry, or other doo-dad that they themselves installed that is interfering with the controls? I had no idea there could be this many “challenged” people attempting to control a potentially lethal vehicle on the road with everyone else
I prefer those things being thr problem.
They are fixed in the end
I much more fear the problems that arent fixed and knowing that those dangerous cara drive on the same road as me, by idiots who refuse to repair those dangeroys cars.
I have had a similar issue with my floor mat _so I got rid of the floor mat!_ A simple visual test told me the problem.
The comedian George Carlin said it best "think of how stupid the average person is...then realize half of them are stupider than that".
simple common sense problem solving
if stuff goes wrong after you changed something
it's probably that thing causing it
Scary isn't it 😮😮
These people are the reason car batteries have warning labels "do not drink".
Where *are* all these batteries with this warning on them? A certain type of man on social media insists it's now a standard warning, but I've never seen a "do not drink" label on a car battery.
And the fan shrouds festooned with stickers showing you not too stick your hand in there
@@matthewcaughey8898 They are the reason your microwave comes with the label "do not place pets in microwave".
Also why shampoo has to come with instructions
We should remove ALL warning labels and let nature run it's course. Start handing out those Darwin Awards!!!!
I'm convinced people are stupid, and we are doomed as a society 😊
Once you accept that fact, life gets a lot easier.
My rule of thumb is 30% are stupid, but JRI shows 100% of stupid drivers, otherwise it wouldn't be as interesting. Take care however, because out there in the real world, 30% of drivers are idiots, either they drive poorly or they drive death traps, or both!
@@mattakudesu its always easier since i know i live in a country where such cars would never be allowed on the road
My only concern is surviving the apocalypse we eventually will create
Shit.... just keep making it up as I go i guess.....
This society treats cars as appliances.
It also doesn't clean the breadcrumbs out of its toasters.
So yes, quite probably.
What's scary is that these are the same people who are allowed to vote and procreate. Seriously. Owning a car isn't that complicated.
What's *really* scary is ppl driving around in vehicles with suspensions unattached to the vehicle & flat t(y)res & not knowing what's causing it to "be all over the road". These ppl are playing russian roulette with innocent people's lives.
Why doesn't USA have mandatory safety checks for vehicles? OK, I know that each State has its own rules & that 19 of 50 States *do* have some form of check, but some of them are vehicle identity only, not safety checks. This is people's lives were dealing with folks.
Also they are actually driving these vehicles around posing a huge threat to the public at large... it's almost criminal levels of neglect.
@@kiefershanks4172 The fact there seems to be a lack of a mandatory vehicle safety inspection in the places these videos are filmed makes it even worse
Owning a car isn’t that hard … for some of us. 🙄
The one full of cigarette butts if I’d been the mechanic I’d refused to work on that now. That’s nasty
It's 2024 who the hell is still smoking? Absolutely disgusting
They smoke just as much now--it's just not cigarettes anymore.
You’d get cancer just opening the door. That car had to reek.
My parents smoked and all vehicles had overflowing ashtrays and a couple of burn marks in the carpet but the one in the video was so over the top bad I was even shocked!! The stench must have been overwhelming...
@@eeengineer8851 My father back in 1974 set my mom's 1964 Dodge Dart on fire by flicking a cigarette ash out the window which blew back in and set the rear seat on fire.
Love your channel. I worked in auto repair for eight years in Chicago. Never did I see the kind of filth and infestations that I occasionally see on your channel. If I did, I would refuse to service such vehicles.
But did you ever see rust like that car in Quebec? LOL. Chicago climate not that far off of Montreal, where they used to use so much road salt most cars would turn into rust buckets in short order. I had a 76 Impala in the 90s there. It was only still roadworthy as GM used a ton of steel in the frames back then so under the rust there was enough strength, it made it through grad school!
I am a slob
But never would I ask a person to work on my car without me cleaning it
Ah yes... I love when the owner does the repair and blames it on another shop...
ACAB
the police don't exist to protect you
"Another shop" is usually code for either:
1) Thanks for the free diagnostic. I'll fix it myself.
2) My cousin Reggie says he can fix it for a quarter of what you quoted.
Either way, just have the work done when it's first pointed out that it is needed.
Or act like they don't know how a "street sign" got under their car or something like that 😅.
The "just purchased" rotted out car that isn't road worthy is far too common. How ppl don't look under a car, new or old, to look for leaks, damage or rust is beyond me. But this explains all the $10k vehicles with rotten frames and missing floors i see at dealerships around NY
Anyone who sells cars with rotten frames are scum.
And migrating all over the east coast now.
How did the drivers feet not immediately fall out the floor? That car was barely holding together.
@@bsmith1164at the very least it would sound like a giant wind tunnel. Some people have no clue what to look for when buying a car. Of course the seller knows they'll eventually find a sucker that'll buy it.
the one thing not mentioned was what kind of car it was, due to the issue im gonna say it was an old car or truck that the guy bought as a classic and is going to go hang out at parking lot car shows with it, the owner just learned why classic cars cost so much
Wait a minute, who films with a Toaster?😂😂😂 1:03
Howdy doodly doo!
More like a potato 😅
I mean, if that's what you have handy...
Even better it's a smart toaster can watch tv on it while it cooks😅
I wouldn't even blame the toaster. I've never had mine deliver such shaky results
I was very confused by the first capless fuel filler once too. But theirs is even LABELED!
That's the first time I've even heard of them, learn something new every day.
Wife's car is that way. It keeps them from losing the damn cap.
@@garymiller3264 caps tend to be tethered, you'd have to try really hard to lose it. The capless thing is nice until it starts failing and you get evap codes... replacing a cap is $10, fixing capless is $100s.
@@Gmacrone Most Fords are like that now. I believe some GM and Honda vehicles also do it. It's not actually capless. The cap is just a spring-flap that gets pushed out of the way when you push the nozzle in.
What amuses the hell out of me are "capless" fuel intakes...that have caps. Or inserts. You can't have it both ways, vehicle manufacturers.
structural floor mats doing a serious job there.
Just like load bearing coconuts

I have a fun story about a car repair (Note: The problem will just be 'the radiator', as I forget *exactly* what it was, but it was an quick, easy, & cheap fix):
When I was 4 years old (I'm 39 now. Be 40 come April), my mother was driving to New Hampshire, and white smoke started coming from under the hood, and overheat warnings came on.
Mom pulls over, pops the hood, and already knows what the problem is (She believed in knowing her car inside & out).
Tow truck comes, sees this single mother with a 4 year old son and a 7 year old daughter, and starts blabbering nonsense and playing up how screwed her car is.
Mom (Calmly): It's the radiator. I know what white smoke means.
Towtruck: Well, it could be-
Mom: It's the radiator.
Towtruck (Nonplussed): We'll see what the garage says.
We get it towed to the nearby garage, and the mechanic takes it in and 'looks it over' while mom is up front making calls to friends. Comes back with a laundry list of 'problems' that would have cost more than $7,000 to fix. In 1988.
Mom (Still calm): It's the radiator. I had the car looked at not a month back. (Note: A friend of mom's owned a garage back then, and would do checkups at reasonable prices. He took pride in his work, and would *never* skimp on work. He actually paid mom the repair fee when he learned what happened, as it was something he missed during his inspection. She did not mention this man to the mechanic)
Mechanic: Well, they did a bad job! Probably lazy, eh? So many garages scam people! But if you'd sign the work order-
Mom (Now using the 'I know you're lying, and I will give you this *one* chance to be honest' tone): I know what the problem is. And all I will pay for is the radiator. How about we inspect the car together?
Mechanic: You can't be in the garage! It's dangerous! People running around, tools and cars everywhere! It's a liability issue!
Mom: Then you can either fix the real problem, and *I'll* inspect the car afterwards, or you can tow it to in Greenfield.
They fixed the real issue, and mom had the car inspected by her friend again a few days later. Turned out; They had created 99% of the problems they listed (Surprise, surprise! The 1% is the real issue) and never fixed them, so mom had her friend fix the issues, and she sent the New Hampshire garage the bill, along with a letter from my mother that said, and I'm paraphrasing:
I know you caused every issue listed on this enclosed repair order in order to cheat me. Also enclosed is the inspection from less than 25 days prior, which found none of these issues. You can either pay, or I can take you to court for vandalizing my car.
From how I heard the story told; They fought at first, but settled when mom lawyered up. Their whole attitude, from what I can vaguely remember looking back now, was 'Woman stupid. Woman can't know cars! Cars are for *men*!'
And they picked the wrong woman to try that BS on. 😂
Sadly, this is part of the reason some of these people "declined repairs" on this channel. There are some many shady mechanics that people's knee jerk reaction when told of problems they didn't know about/don't understand is that the mechanic is lying! I am so blessed that my best friend is a mechanic. 26 years and 370,000 miles later, my Civic is still running in good shape thanks to his knowledge and honesty (and he's not just honest with me as a friend, he is honest with ALL his clients!)
Good for her. I haven't had anyone try to scam me THAT bad for being female, but I have (when it was still reasonably safely driveable) driven away when I didn't like the answer (from a shop that was conveniently close, and drove immediately to a shop I trust). My brother had a car crap out on a trip 400 km from home, got towed to a local shop and they told him his timing belt went and took out his engine, so he had it towed back home to our regular mechanic and had the timing belt replaced for a hundred bucks (somehow it had slipped a notch or two so the engine wouldn't run but it also wasn't enough to cause interference between the pistons and valves like the first garage claimed. And I've had dealerships quote me a thousand bucks more for a repair that my mechanic got done for a couple hundred. I'm just lucky I know my way around cars and will make them explain everything. And I insist on being allowed in the shop to see what they're talking about.
had something that could have ended similarly happen to me and my dad except the mechanic let us into the shop to show us what the issue was. It was that somehow a part of tubing in the cooling system got dislodged and fell out from an accident that happened earlier that day or the night before -it was a noticeable gap-, the fact we had had to fill the system up already due to this, and the car overheated meant the engine was gone -drove at least 200 miles with this issue cross-country road trip. Given it was a small town shop and we were about a hundred from miles home we got picked up by mom the next day and it all worked out dad still drives the same car 15 years later. The mechanic was surprised that the tubing came out as that is not something he had seen before.
I'm not saying they weren't trying to scam her, but if her usual mechanic missed the radiator, is it inconceivable that he missed other stuff, too?
@@Drew-bc7zj You're not wrong, but keep in mind; I'm relaying a 30+ year old event.
All I can remember is 'white smoke', 'easy fix', and 'mechanic treated my mother like she was stupid'.
Most of us have no idea what sort of rust buckets, and rolling junk heaps we are sharing the road with.
A lot of these clips bring back for me memories of management decisions at my former employer (I'm retired) of letting million-dollar machines practically fall apart, resulting in repairs that took three to five times longer, and ten times the cost. And no, in my thirty years there, they never learned.
Nope, they never do. They don't have time to actually SCHEDULE maintenance, they don't have money to PAY for maintenance, but they always have time and money to spend when the production line breaks ROFLMMFAO!!!
basic vehicle knowledge should be part of licence tests. Its wild that some of these people even know how to get themselves out of bed
That last one... Be funny if they just bought it and went back saying there were issues with the suspension... Warranty and insurance should decline stupidity
It is in the UK.
@@sjv6598 In Germany as well.
And auto shops here are allowed not to let cars back on the road if they have obviously safety issues. In fact, they can be hold liable if they do and something bad happens.
Probably some of them just get lucky and fall out. Gravity takes zero brains or skill to operate.
I'm going to have nightmares about that cigarette car tonight.
Can you imagine how bad it smells 🤮
It was Gross!
@@garyslentzii2796 I can smell it from here.
Instead of, “customer declined repairs” we should have a, “shop declined to repair” series. On a lot of these I would tell the customer I can’t help you - get that out of my shop.
As a former smoker, that car would have turned my stomach! I think that may be the worst one I've seen.
I can understand putting window washer fluid in the brake lines and coolant. It's prettier and cheaper and non-toxic. Makes it safe for the children to play in the engine compartment.
Windshield washer fluids generally contain toxic chemicals, including methanol and isopropyl alcohol, depending on the blend.
@@markh.6687 So are you saying I shouldn't use it in my aquarium? Cuz it keeps the glass on the inside super clean without scrubbing.
SMDH.....
Also put Window Washer Fluid in the gas tank! It improves mileage and emissions!
The one in Quebec happened to me also. We had to call the cops. Or else, if something happens, the garage could be criminally charged.
Canada is a joke for that
Don't they require a safety check to get it plated like in Ontario? Or did someone just bribe a mechanic to get the safety check?
@@bunhelsingslegacy3549 under normal circumstances no inspection required. You'll need inspection if: 1-importing a car from outside Quebec; 2-if a cop pulls you over and suspect the car to be unsafe; 3- if the car wasn't plated for over a year.
I saw a similar case in my shop and told the client to get rid of his car, which he did, but instead of scrap it he sold it to an other of my client so I was still stuck with the car in my shop.
@@bunhelsingslegacy3549there's no inspection required when selling a car in Québec unfortunately.
@@UHOH3300 I don't see the joke about putting safety first.

>Engine is 5 minutes away from exploding into metal shrapnel
>Entire chassis is in detached parts and holding up by tensegrity alone
>Ventilation system sprays gasoline and exhaust fumes directly at the driver
>Customer declined repairs
Don’t forget the horrid smell from “somewhere in the vehicle“
I feel bad for that guy who bought the completely rusted out car. Fixing it would have been, in a word, uneconomical.
Well if the shop charges you arm and leg what would you do? Just agree to whatever they want to charge you? Most people expect problem to be an easy fix not a major financial investment.
thats exactly WHY you would decline repairs. there arent any cars out there that would still be worth repairing in that condition, all they comment on most of these is declined repairs, that doesn't necessarily mean they planned on driving it or if they do they probably dont intend to go farther than absolutely necessary
edit: theres also the drive it till the engine blows option, not every imminent failure is a risk to bystanders, a lot of transmission and engine issues an even some frame issues are only a problem for the driver and may or may not be worth the cost of a repair and in some cases they do plan on repairing it but cant afford it right now and/or the parts arent available
(1:43) I’m getting lung cancer just looking at this clip
one of the worst we've seen
Marlboro Man's a Major Butthead:0
1:08 "customer states vehicle sounds like" continues to bat a thousand
The capless fuel filler one is almost a refreshing change of pace. Someone who does NOT need a repair but WANTS one anyway
Yes I just love that Blue washer fluid that can be used to top off all other fluids . LOL
Yall ever play Job Simulator?
Yall ever going to move out of moms basement and get a job? @@-caesarian-6078
In my country it has been mandatory for over 25 years to learn how to fill all the fluids in the car and demonstrate this ability as part of your drivers exam.
I actually get rid of the blue fluid every time I buy another car it freezes on contact with the glass and I had enough of it -20° really needs to be -30° fluid instead
@@danlevesque5437 Same here , I use Prestone Deicer washer fluid. I think the freeze protection of that is minus 34.

Buddy bare-handing that seat at 1:45 is a far braver man than I will ever be
I previously owned a Dodge Caliber SRT4. Those cars are notoriously known for rusting subframes (Chrysler didn't do good subframe coating on these cars). They even offer a free extended 10-year warranty on the subframes (but as for now, most calibers are too old to be covered). My caliber also had some rust on the rear subframe...
That's Dodge on general

This never ceases to make me feel better about my life after watching your videos. Thank you.
I always look forward to watching the latest videos. You have one of the best channels around!! Keep em' coming!
Filmed with their toaster LOL
Can always count on this channel to fix it whenever I start thinking that maybe humanity has a chance and that I still want to live on this planet.
There's a meme channel that uploads a series called 'It's time to leave earth '.
Similar vibes.
Best comment!
Happy New Year Eli,I hope 2024 brings you and your family health and happiness.
Thanks, Fred! Happy new years to you and yours as well. Glad to see you're still watching the videos.
That first one where the customer states that it's all over the road... No! Get that thing off the road!
That car wouldn’t be leaving my shop unless it was on a tow truck
The best are "and the customer declined repairs." It can't be money as they brought the vehicle in for repairs. It has to be stupid. Always a great collection of clips about people who should have stuck with a horse and buggy. Thanks.
Thanks for watching 👍
i used to take my old truck to a mechanic when i would suspect a problem so they could tell me exactly what needs to be fixed so I could fix it myself for hundreds of dollars less
Yes. It can be money. What if the cost exceeds the budget? "I don't have that much. Can you do it for $75 less?" Try that.
If they can't maintain a car, they sure as hell can't care for a horse.
@@jakeamato6761 You beat me by two minutes!

@@craigpennington1251 Wont work because every shop tells people to come back after 50 miles for a re-torque.
2:56 now THAT is some all terrain shit!
That was funny when you said where that person lives has strict rules. Up here in Canada, we don't consider them strict, just common sense. It is illegal to drive a vehicle that is unfit for the road and shops are required to report a driver, or can even refuse to give the car back to a customer who wants to drive the car away. There was a lady here in my city a few years ago that got into a major accident and she was charged with negligence causing death because she did not maintain her brakes. Just because you can drive a piece of junk doesn't mean you should drive it. There are other people on the road.
Now the car with no nut 🥜 on the ball joint had to feel squirrely 🐿️ for certain
I think seeing all these over the past months affected my decision (among other things) to buy a new car rather than used. Unreal what people let their vehicles turn into
Unlike the old days, a lemon used car may cost more to repair than it is worth and is often too complicated for the shade tree mechanic to work on. I think I too will be looking to buy a new car.
Buying used is fine, just take the car to a mechanic for a full inspection before you buy it
Exactly, the newer the better, especially with brands that are still relatively simple. I.e. Honda, Toyota, Subaru
I went to the repair shop that I use and asked him what pickup truck he wanted me to avoid, I followed his advice & have been happy.
@@BadJellyman100 The newer the better? I wouldn't go *that* far... Modern cars come with their own suite of nightmares.
That one with the missing castle nut and cotter pin reminds me of the one time I let a garage replace the ball joints on my truck. I was working at the time and couldn't get to it before having to help my brother move home after college. They replaced them all right, but didn't put cotter pins in place. My pop picked the truck up from the shop and felt something wrong. Both of the nuts on the side they replaced had backed off. He tightened the nuts again and stuck a nail in to keep them in place. I took the truck BACK to the shop and told them to put the pins in. They did, but the shop "manager" said that cotters pins were not necessary.
I never had that place touch my '65 Ranchero again.
Great video and the Chevy Nova at the end is SO awesome!!
How that Canadian car didn't crumble on the lift is shocking
Couldn't pay me to stand under that thing
Wow, Québec Canada actually sounds like a sensible place to live..
If you are told your car is illegal to drive on the road, I would most definitely inform the police that the customer is intended to drive a dangerous car on the road...
Take it to another shop all you want.. Just make sure it's on the back of a tow truck.
In quite a few countries it is mandatory to inform authorities, either police or some other (vehicle registration) agency.
I feel for 'em. Buy the car from a predatory dealer who knows your car knowledge is shoddy and takes advantage, and the first time you visit a mechanic, they have the government scrap it.
Out of car, out of funds, out of luck. Your game just got softlocked, my dude.
If they did that here a certain percentage of the population would say that taking away a piece of junk car is racist and disproportionately affects the poor and communities of color. Tell me I’m wrong! 😂😂
Pretty much every 1st World Country outside of most of the US and parts of Canada (not Quebec) is a more sensible place to live because, just like Quebec, they all have strict vehicle safety laws with regular mandatory vehicle safety inspection requirements.
@@andywilliams7323We don't have regular mandatory inspections in Québec, for emissions or otherwise. Afaik the only time you would have a car inspected is if you bring it in to Québec from another province/country, or if it was scrapped and you restored it.
You never disappoint, thank you!
"Sir, your car is full of ants. Do you want us to remove them?"
"No."
Are there any states where the shop is required to report serious safety defects to the department of motor vehicles in those cases where “the customer declined repairs” ?
Not sure about states, but there are countries where it is mandatory to report it to authorities if the vehicle is a hazard on the road.
A lot of these vehicles would not be driven legally in Pennsylvania.
States with mandatory inspections will suspend your registration if it doesn't pass within a reasonable time. Some states are more thorough than others (smog), but all that do it require at least safety checks.
There are states where a car must pass annual inspection for road safety to be issued a registration renewal sticker. But I don't know of any "mandatory shop reporting" states. You wouldn't want shops to have the authority to report safety problems, because that provides an incentive for the shop to lie to the customer about needing work that isn't actually needed, or even breaking the car themselves to scam an otherwise-unneeded repair out of the customer.
@@jakeamato6761California doesn’t have safety inspection. Only smog. They don’t give a single shit about safety, only their precious emissions (scheme to make being poor in California even more expensive than it already is)
Last clip is more of an off-roader than built tacomas 😂😂😂
I'm sure they "fixed" those frame rails. Just ring up Napa...ask for a frame rail repair kit.
J B Weld... and I mean a lot of J B Weld. 🤣
@@traildoggy YOu got me thinking. Now I'm wondering if you can buy flex seal in gallon cans?
Every time I think about doing a repair myself, I watch one of these videos to remind myself what happens when people without the proper knowledge try to fix things.
These arent people without proper knowledge (mostly). They mostly are fkin stupid idiots...
If I had a dime for every time customer declined repairs, I be Rich
Id be somewhere warm if that was the case 😂
You're saying you would change your name to Rich?
Shops would be rich too if every customer agreed to their prices.
It was a while back, but the Department of Transport that runs roadside inspections in Queensland was at one stage ordering cars that were unfit to drive to be scrapped on the spot and crushed into a cube of metal. I don't know if they're still doing that but it took a lot of bad cars off the road. Authorities everywhere should be looking into the feasibility of doing this in their own area. It would certainly send a message to people running unsafe vehicles on the roads.
always enjoy your videos
I can't believe how many times we see floor mat issues on this channel. Of course, people also destroy their brakes and never thing twice about it either, so maybe it isn't so hard to believe.
When the mat was put behind the pedal it had a moulding in it that restricted the pedal. It needs cut away where the pedal is
Not gonna lie, I replayed that lightsaber clip 5 times.
I hope to see that one again in the "Customer states it sounds like..." video at the end of the year.
If this was my car, I would decline a repair.
I love the gentle jab at the toaster video. You know that person is going to see it, since they sent it to you in the first place. I hope they get a good chuckle!
ugh! it HURTS, sometimes, while watching these videos. Killin' me! 🤣🤣
New merch idea, bumper sticker that reads "The other shop is my home"
Also seen those air diffuser things, Big Clive and Crazy Ken covered them not too long ago as they were a part of a scam where they were being sold as some sort of deicer for your car.
Lol good idea! We did recently make customer declined repairs stickers
Need some Shop Declined Repairs
If it's true what they said about the safety laws in Quebec, then bravo! There needs to be a lot more places like that, and of course the shops willing to enforce it!
We don't even have a yearly checkup in quebec ... car like that are fairly common 🙃
I never knew how good the condition of my car was until I started watching this channel. My vehicle is just plain old and high mileage, but it gets regular maintenance; worn interior, no more wheel covers, and paint, but safe to drive for me and my fellow motorist. Some of these are just plain scary to think that I, or my family or friends may be close enough to these rambling wrecks to be endangered by them.
Have not seen a mostly customer declined repairs video for a while! Thanks
Not to be an ass but does it concern anyone else that we share the roads with some of these folks?
Our k-12 system might do well to implement some basic vehicle care into the curriculum 🤪
I've been saying that for years. Never used one bit of Calculus or Chemistry after graduating high school. They should instead teach basic finances, maintenance, how to use some basic tools and how to report taxes. I messed up my taxes so bad the first time I did it myself, the Canadian government audited me LOL
Im a truck technician from quebec Canada and i can relate to the rusted car 😂, the amount of terrible salt they put on the road in winter 😅 it’s terrible … and this one in the clip is dead😂 thank you for your good work and keep up my friend
L'affaire avec les Saturn en plus c'est que ça paraît pas qu'ils sont finis tant que tu le lèves pas vu que le criss de char est en plastique 😂 la porte conducteur ouvrait pu quand on l'a levé parce que les rockers ont défoncé haha
Always good for a laugh. Man , some people are F in stoopid
Dude really touched that seat with his bare hand
These videos make me support mandatory safety inspections.
"Really strict rules"
No normal road safety rules, except in the USA.
Not letting people drive dangerous cars would be socialism... Or something? Americans love to misuse that word.
@@EMCF_ yeah they would say you are a communist and that government wants to control your car
fascism@@EMCF_
Because it is.@@EMCF_
@@EMCF_you mean communism
At least by those people thar froth at the mouth when told it needs fixed
I am absolutely amazed at the severity of some problems that customers decline repairs. I hope the shop gets a signed declination and pictures so that they do not lose a lawsuit upon someone's death.
Jri upload =the afternoon will be a good one after all 🥳
That last car driving off after driving off a wall really got me
"Technition filmed it with his toaster" xD Nice one.
I had a similar issue with my floor mat _so I got rid of the floor mat!_ A simple visual test told me the problem.
Literally on Monday of this week I took my car in to the repair shop. It needed ESC/StabiliTrak system test, replacing of the brake switch, a/c electrical / air volume test, an air filter replaced, a belt replaced and the rear wiper replaced. It cost a _lot_ to have it done, but there wasn't any way I was going to decline the repairs (had to put it on CC). Funny part is that my rear wiper blade has not been in stock in both the auto parts stores I've visited the last two years and wasn't available at the repair shop a year ago, either. Apparently an extremely rare rear wiper. 😆
Buy a longer one and cut it down. Just make sure it's plastic. I had to do this for my MG.
"I had the work done at another shop".. Translation.. "I found some kid who had NO idea what he was doing and he made it worse and way more expensive to fix"
Great Video!
The best garage video channel on you tube.
I love these video’s never stop posting them please🙌😀 i always watch them in bed on my phone haha(since you upload around the time i go to bed 11o clock at night sometimes 12 depends what time i’m in
Thanks for watching the videos ☺️
The last customer probably still thinks he is playing GTA5.
1:01🤣🤣🤣 This made my day!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think the ants in the engine qualify as a definition of bugs in the system.
You couldn’t pay me a months wage to touch that 1:43 😂😂😂😂
Don't tell me it doesn't require a gas cap, sell me a GAS CAP!!! LOL
that last clip is absolutely wild. "nah, i go this way now!"
1:00 That's a Ford Maverick! I have one as well and have had the same issue happen several times. Had to just push the power and skip forward button on the dash for a few seconds and it restarts the media system
These clips really make me appreciate that we've got the TÜV here in Germany, they may be annoying at times but at least they keep stuff like those rolling deathtraps for everyone off the road and we can have the Autobahn partially thanks to it.
1:36 - Amazing to see one of these in the wild.
Man im glad the only problem my truck is having atm isnt even a problem, but a perplexing electronic mystery.
I have systematically repeated an experiment, as i drive past a certain house going south 100% of the time I'll hear a capacitor charging up within 5 feet of the same spot. If i circle back and head north it doesnt do it, but when i circle back again to the south, sure enough in same spot it charges up.
Now that being said, the systematic approach to troublshooting this has been powering off equipment one at a time until the noise doesnt happen in this spot. I have since removed the radio entirely, and it still happens, the only other electeonics on my truck are the headlights and blower motor. Tried driving past the same spot with them both on and off etc, still hear the noise.
Ive left my cellphone at home, and it still does it.
The only thing i think it can be is something with powerline static, my ignition system, and the static energizing/inducing voltage into a capacitor. Just so happens to be in the same spot, doesnt happen anywhere else repeatably though i have heard it a few times elsewhere but didnt really pay much attention to it. But I'm baffled af.
Possibly a ham operator right there on that side of the road? Any unusual antennas on houses that side?
