pre-purchase inspection? WOO we got a smart one.
Finally!! 👍
As a mechanic I would refuse to work on such dirty cars
As a tech who needs money, I'd up charge =b worst case they say no.
I hate working on work vehicles.
@@madisonmecham9546 Some of the worst inside(!) and out. Rolling spittoons many of them, with dried ketchup and cola on everything or gumming up lap/shoulder belt buckles. Then when they decline repairs you don't want your name on a work order. BTDT many times.
Most do
I work on semis and most are pretty clean but when it’s bad its horrible.
All I'll say is, a car in the shop is one less car a customer fixed themselves.
And that's usually a win.
Many times it isn't a win. Many of them refuse repairs because of the cost. What would be a win, is a mandatory yearly inspection and if it isn't safe you are forbidden by law to drive it and if a cop finds out you'll have to tow it and you'll get a ticket. That's how it works in sophisticated countries. It is also a good way to find out what's wrong before the cost skyrocket when you have to replace parts you wouldn't have to if you just did the maintenance.
Don't people realize when you buy a car that regular maintenance is a given. Not when you feel like it. No wonder there are cars like these.
=[ they dont... it's amazing to me.
My gf and her son, expect the local garage to manage their vehicles maintenance schedule?? So when her transmission went from lack of service she was furious with her mechanic and not herself?
You buy a product, you are responsible for knowing needed maintenance no?
Obligatory yearly MOT inspection? No, because "freedom"...
No, they dont.. and as we in europe got the "auto" mode on the lights. Everybody suddently forgot how it is to move their index finger 2 f... CM to blend down highbeems, but did not forget to dazzleup the dashboards and blind the lightsensors 😂 it has become a socially accepted mental illness...
@@oddzi Auto lights never put the high beam on.
@@S.1-1-1-1-1 Around here high beams and fog lights all the time is why I hate to drive at night. Noodnicks don't care if you can see as long as they can. Often when someone is on my bumper I have to dodge my rear-view and side mirrors, and that's with various 'yellow vision' eyewear whether I drive day or night.
Just remember, if you think your mechanic is judging you…. they probably are.
That crunchy hose might be chunks of calcium deposits that have broken free.
I have a 1967 ford galaxie 500, I had to do a radiator flush cause there was coolant from 1992 in it and there was calcium buildup all over the thermostat.
I did not know it could get that bad
Was it hard or was it translucent slime?
"Now I may not be a smart man, but I know when somethings f**ked up and everything I've seen in the last 20 odd minutes is f**ked up" .
And I'm fucked up
It makes my skin crawl knowing these people are traveling the same roads My family and I travel
It's amazing how owners forget, or don't bother, to change their cabin air filters, as it could affect the performance of the blower motor.
Its the first sign the whole vehicle isnt maintained. The vehicle came with a manual and service record that specifies replacements and checks for all elements of the car. Skip one you prob skipped them all
uh, you DO know that most people don't even know they EXIST, I hope? they're so well hidden, people don't know they're there.
@@paulgerrard9227 manuals are one of the "five things people throw away™"...and I've never seen a mention in any of the post 2000 vehicles I've owned except my current one, where it was listed as an option.
Worse than that you have no clue what could be growing on that filter especially if you have fog often you most likely have mold
Some 10th gen f150s don’t even have one installed from factory. Potentially 23+ years with no filter at all 😂
The new non-AI voice is way better. I finally subscribed.
10:59. The tilt columns on that period of Chevy trucks were terrible about getting so loose that they barely seem connected to anything. You often could even make the gear selector move position just by jiggling the wheel in just the right way. Every single one of them I've ever seen had this problem.
That Jeep Cherokee at 2:20 is mint condition, $250 in replacement floor pans, and $200 in replacement carpet and you're solid 🤣
Plus if it was painted John Deere green it'd last forever. That green stuff is magic.
I like how the "washer fluid" they put in the motor oil is just water. I also like they said they replaced the air filter, but they just keep adding that fluffy air filter element from a house air filter. Like they are unaware there are specific products for their car, or are just super broke.
In italy we have “revisione” once every two years mandatory inspection of the vehicle, i dobt understand why in a bigger country like the us there is none in some places
Some states do have inspections but many don't, like here in MI. Too many rust buckets here. (sub-frames, suspension arms/links, floors, etc) It's mostly from the state using CaCl on dirt roads to keep dust down, 10x more corrosive than Winter road salt. (prove me wrong)
@@johncmitchell4941 I'm also here in MI. Years ago we had mandatory exhaust testing. It tuned into a big scam. Shops doing the testing could manipulate the testing equipment to get any results they needed to pass any car.
About CaCI , Just ask Erik O.
Many states are doing away with all inspections for vehicles over a certain number of years old, and only making newer cars get inspected. Seems like kind of the opposite of the way they should be doing, but I don't make the rules.
@@johncmitchell4941 Actually MOST states have inspection. Last I checked only 3 states didn't.
@@eric_d I suspect one in ten cars/trucks in MI wouldn't pass the perhaps now-dated inspection I experienced in 'Taxachusetts' 54years ago while at Ft Devens. btw, My trucks & car are all >10 YO but I'd bet they'd pass .. or I'd be crawling under them like old times. (tractors are easier if you don't have to 'split' one)
Yes! Love these longer videos! Thank you for the great entertainment!
6:55 It actually does get better than that, I've had a customer hand me the caliper piston out of the left front caliper and said, "Oh yeah, this fell out yesterday"
Oh the sound that rusted out sub-frame made when he flipped it over. Just from the sound alone you could tell it's made of Swiss cheese.
Nice to have a face to go with the voice.
I love all of your videos. ❤
I have been watching them for quite a while now.
On that last one, there is a chance - however small - that the customer actually wasn't doing anything beyond normal driving. Things can fail catastrophically just from defects in the castings.
4:22 the milk for coolant challenge 😂
Me laughing at these idiots while being 9000 miles overdue for an oil change.
that just means you are one of them...
50 percent "cheapskate", 50 percent Red Solo Cup mentality (everything's disposable), 100 percent "who cares, it's just a car"
Lol cheapskate .
Yeah let's save money in oil.
6 months later : needs a new engine.
Who cares it's just a car.
Who cares you're just dumb, and poor.
In Vancouver B.C. we used to have mandatory vehicle safety checks. You got a sticker if your car passed. It was hard to sell a used car unless you had the sticker.
The government of the Day in the 80s cut the program, big mistake.
A car that wasn't road worthy would soon be repaired or junked.
That's how it works here in Japan.The inspection is biennial. However, scrapping is free and the inspection includes Road Traffic Act insurance.
Jack, the Japan Alps Brit
@JackBlack-ii1ip How are the driving exams? I've heard that Japanese road tests are very, very strict. And hardly anyone passes on the first try.
in New Brunswick province they still have that mandatory safety inspection but recently they moved it back from annual to bi-annual.
@sachadee.6104 Still keeping junk cars off the road, though.
the bike engine fails remind me of when I ran a bike shop.
CBR600F4s with stretched camchains at 3000miles, "it just started running badly"
yeah, after impressing the girls at chelsea bridge revving the crap out of it and flipping the kill switch on and off a bit.. right?
"how did you know I go to chelsea bridge?!?"
dozens of happy customers lol
5:00 To be fair, there are a lot of people who don't even know that there is a cabin air filter. My wife's old car AC wouldn't work well and at first we thought it was just needing to be recharged, but I did some online research and found that the issue could be because of the cabin air filter. After finding the darn thing and replacing the dirty mess, the AC worked great. Until that vehicle, I've never had a car with a cabin air filter.
When I used to be a service manager at an out of a repair shop, one of it. Two of the most interesting things I got to hear was "Whats an oil change?" And "What do you mean you have to change the brakes?"
I thought the dodge was full of rodent bones for a second there. 😂
me too ! (since our Dodge is routinely used as a living space for mice; we're cleaning out the heater blower bi-weekly. Nest full of insulation, leafs and bird feed)
@ 1:44 customer refused repairs
"lol okay then"
In terms of rust, why don’t automakers apply rust resistant coatings to their vehicle parts and undercarriage? And issue a guide to have rust proof coatings reapplied to the undercarriage at certain age of the vehicle as a form of necessary maintenance? I think you can get that done in body shops. I think this should become a law in Rust Belt States if it isn’t already. Cars would last longer that way. But this is just my opinion, people can do whatever they want.
Because then you wouldn't have to buy a new car? Why don't they use sand on the roads in New England instead of salt? Because some senator probably owns a repair shop. It's called end stage capitalism where literally everything is a scam and nobody gives a crap about anybody else.
It's not and would go into all the other things that happen aftermarket. Once that warranty is up it's on you, everything is your responsibility. I personally have never seen a car rust before the warranty. Chevy does on their trucks and SUVs which makes them dangerous to lift on flat pads so...
The states get more taxes from selling vehicles
That’s the thing; they WANT you to keep having to buy new cars. If a car lasted too long, they won’t make any money out if it.
All those vehicles decaying over rust issues are happening in areas that are very well known to be associated with such problems. Where I live, there is no need for extreme rust prevention measures/expenses. Adding cost and weight to a new vehicle that doesn't need them is counterintuitive. I have a 45 year old GM B Body that is still rust free. It's not a show car. It has tons of miles on it and is driven regularly. There was never a need for it to carry around expensive coatings and/or stainless hardware and components. I don't really want to have to pay for stuff on a new vehicle that I don't need, and if I know that rust prevention is something to worry about in certain areas, the people that live in those areas should know about it as well. People around here know that if you don't park under a shelter, the sun will burn up the paint and interior. You either accept that fact and let it get torn up by the sun, or you do something to help prevent the damage, like park in a garage, and then accept that you're still going to have sun damage over time.
Just like the top, the underside of a vehicle is painted at the factory, and that was all the rust prevention my car needed underneath to last nearly a half century, and I don't expect the manufacturer to provide a shelter to protect the topside.
I'm just saying that you either do nothing and accept the reality of it happening, or you do something about it, but making other people in other areas pay for stuff they don't need isn't the cure. Plus the people that never do any maintenance are still going to let the cars fall apart for some other reason.
Bullet resistant armor definitely helps reduce battlefield injuries/fatalities, but they don't eliminate those things, and I wouldn't make people that are no where near the battlefield, wear such armor 'just in case,'
I usually don't comment on these... BUT Holy Mother Jeesus some of these were horrendus... they all were bad to worst.... Just how people don't take care of their cars?
Several years ago I was told at work to take some executives car to the tire shop because he complained about losing traction on wet pavement. I got the keys and looked at the tires myself to see the rear tires smoothed over with tire dust still on the rocker panels. This was a company owned Chrysler 300. I told my supervisor that this guy was roasting them and doing whatever else with the car, yet he rolled his eyes and denied that the guy would be doing any of that.
Watching these videos make me miss being a tech for high traffic shops. I'll always be a mechanic as long as I have family members though lol
Here some advise for yall, if absolutely NEEDED uses Blue Devil headgasket repair. I warped the head on my 09 tacoma 2.7 liter and had to use it. Its now been over 23k since then and its still fine!
Took a road trip with a friend. His car burned a couple of quarts every 100-200 miles. He barely kept enough oil in the car to register on the dip stick. I made him completely fill up the oil pan with 5-6 quarts and made him pay for it and he got mad telling me how expensive it was. Never went on a trip in his car ever again.
Both of these vids with the mercedes E-class, subframes rusting the trailing arms off is very common. Mercedes recognises the issue and even offers settlement on pricing for these repairs. Still after all these years.
A costumer of mine has a E-class taxi with 700k KM on the clock when this happened, mercedes gave him 50% off on the subframe. I think that's pretty good costumer care if you ask me.
I am a Kiwi mechanic and the rust in the cars I see from the salt belt makes my blood run cold. I got failed for a 1990 F150, in great condition, a slight dust rust on the chassis here. Yet the rule is that corrosion should not compromise a load bearing structure. Trouble is that a whole lot of inspectors are from non english speaking, so words like excessive and significant are not understood.
I work on a lot of those 6.6l Duramaxes of that vintage; they always suck the air filter up like that the moment they get dirt in them. It's actually pretty common
JB weld could fix some of them!😂😂😂😂😂😂
About the balancing tires, when the vehicle is standing idle the tire is round and fine but as you drive it the tire heats up it swells unevenly due to structural damages.
I took drivers Ed at 14, 1st thing your told is to check your tires before you get in the car
Yeah, maybe that particular driver just checked that the car kinda had tyres?
@@nigeldepledge3790it's more of a two step process, they stopped at the 1st , make sure they are still there ,2nd to look at air and tread lol 😂
Mechanics in Texas about to have a bunch of content with the state going away with safety/emissions inspections
9:16 that’s not an Ant’s nest, it’s an entire civilisation
I pulled a rat's nest out of a cabin filter. Owner said there is an odd smell in the car, I could barely breathe, fully masked up
6:25 that's calicum! Dude must use some very hard well water to fill up his coolant!
That white stuff in the RAM Ecodiesel cooling system was DEF- Diesel exhaust fluid
Hazmat suit, respirator and gloves on some of those cars!
I bought a 2001 Monte Carlo and it was owned by a young lady and it was very clean and pretty but she had done zero maintenance to the engine.
I grew up in south east Oregon and we don’t use salt for icy road conditions and with the extremely low humidity our vehicles don’t rust like these. But, when I was assigned to Baumholder, Germany in 2002-07 I took my Jeep grand Cherokee with me and they use salt on their roads so after every storm and driving on the roads I’d take the Jeep through a car wash with underbody wash and it experienced zero rust issues. Seems like the State should send these people a check for destroying everyone’s cars with salt!
Look at how someone takes care of their car, that is who they are in life.
u know if the government was better then the people would have a better choice in parts for car or PUTTING FOOD ON TABLE . . .4 years this government fucked this WORLD UP
maybe not charge $500 for a part that costs $8 to manufacture. like at work, gear for battery crane from manufacturer $3300 price on my lathe $40.......
Watching all these rusty, failed safety inspections........In the Chicago area no one would have a car that was over 3 years old. A few rivets and a couple stolen street signs and they are back on the road.
6:53 not only did the pison seal fail. Look at the brake line. Its twisted. Someone did brakes and didnt put the caliper back on correctly twisting the line and creating this issue.
17:41 that's the second 3 Wheel drive car I've heard about! My daughter in law said her Daddy the master mechanic told her she has a 3 Wheel Drive car the Numbers on the Shifter were 1 wheel 2 wheel and 3 for 3 wheel drive! She was adamant I was wrong about their being no such thing! Her daddy is always right. Maybe I was wrong after seeing this? Maybe it's her car? I'll never know I won't work on it because Daddy is her only mechanic.
Love stayhigh420😂😂😂
Thank god for the British MOT test
Due to yearly tests required here in the UK, we never see crap like this!!
The state some people present their vehicles for Mechanics to work on is disgusting. Stinking sour milk and containers, greasy take away food wrappings should be cleaned out before bringing a car in, doing this may lessen the cost of your repairs as the mechanic won't spend time cleaning the car before they can work anywhere near it.
0:28 that’s just like my Tacoma before I cut it all out and welded in new metal, for context I’m a mechanic and welder by trade.
What percentage of your clips are ripped directly from JustRolledIn? Just curious
1st video, I drove taxi for a company with cheep bastard owner. We had to operate on tires in like condition. New tires were either well used, or retreads if he was feeling generous.
I like to watch these videos just to remind me that my car is in good condition...
With the cabin air filters you need a vacuum cleaner to clean that crap out
Either make time for preventative maintenance or forgotten maintenance with take time from you
3:20 if you think thats bad you should have seen my moms Volvo V40 D3 air filter last year before i changed it. Saw that there was never an air filter change since we bought the car in 2021. Took the filter out, the orange spongy foam was all cracked and ripped, the filter was very gray and dirty and full of sand and the wool looking stuff was just gone, nowhere to be found, just a bit of silicone looking glue stuff in its place. Glad i ignored my dad trying to discourage me and invalidate me and checked the air filter while i was swapping the light bulb
mechanics first time ever seeing bald tires
How common is it to find a car in that condition in the US? Are there any regulations about the vehicle condition that should be met to drive public roads?
Not really
Some states have an emission inspection. That’s it,
Law enforcement can cite you or (in severe cases) seize your vehicle for equipment failures or other safety issues, but this is rare. Generally if you pay registration, pass the emissions test, and it looks like a stett legal vehicle, you can drive just about anything on public roads... 'Murica.
imagine there would be some kind of organization to check on cars to not be a safety risk while moving
Why do these mechanics feel as if they’re owed an explanation?
what really scares me when ever i see them super clogged nasty cabin air filters is, how bad/much of all that have i inhaled over my lifetime in older cars/trucks that don't even have cabin filters!!! cuz even a totally clogged filter still filters out the cr@p. it almost certainly also filters out (blocks) most of the air in general, killing your flow rate, but as long as its not ripped or torn or full of rodent holes, its still actually stopping dust and debris just fine. but on older vehicles, all that nastiness would just potentially get put in the cabin for you to breath, build up on the evaporator coil and/or heater core, as well as the blower fan cage. who knows what it would look like if you tore apart an 80s car air duct system! really i can't believe they didn't have cabin filters already then. ya I'm sure come cars may have had them, but not anything gm, ford,dodge, stuff. i can see Mercedes or Jaguar or BMW possibly having them though. but them are cars i have never been able to afford, and never will. so i'ma be happy with my 80's ride!
@2:32 How disgusting you have to be to just casually go out with a car in that state. I understand that I have a dirty car, but that's nowhere close to being like that. I will do deep clean after winter on mine though, will steam off all the salts that will accumulate on the carpets throughout the wet 'n salty winter.
Edit: Watched the whole video, this content never disappoints, but the condition on these cars make me speechless.
12:12 "Loosing coolant."
Uh huh. How loose was it?🤔
As a lawn care mechanic, I would not offer a discount
I have never owned a vehicle that had a cabin air filter. My wifes cars have them but none of my trucks have ever had one.
Meanwhile the state says "We don't need no stinkin' safety inspections".
I don't want no state inspections either!
It's better not to have safety inspections.
Unfortunately, many car owners obviously can't handle the responsibility of keeping their vehicles roadworthy themselves.
When things go too far, legislation must intervene. Which is annoying.
Good. More states are doing away with them.
The ecodiesel, it looks like struvite. Mineral build up.
Are we sure about the dipstick one? And that crankcase pressure didn't push it out? It happens
these are the $20k used cars, “don’t hassle me I know what I got
People need to get under their cars and look at stuff.
Imagine if people maintained their airplanes like they maintain their cars! There would be aircraft raining down from the skies daily! I guess that they struggled to get the cost of the car, and maintenance isn’t necessary.
15:05 Lumina? More like Ruzina
2:54 I would’ve definitely refused to work on that vehicle
It’s crazy how poorly treat and maintain their vehicle. Like god, those cars with trash and nasty gunk, like bruh!!
IF YOU SQUINT, IT'S MINT!
If you can't afford to maintain the car. You simply can not afford it. With $9 a gallon gas comming. A lot of these cars will be taken off the road.
In germany mercedes dealer swap rusted rear sub frames for free if the car is in good condition.
Do you know if they use salt on roads in Europe?
Yes they do, quite a bit even
All I saw in this video are perfectly working vehicles 👍
that's called ceramic seal it's for leaking head gaskets Thay put a big can for a tractor trailer in it
When you cant maintain your own car you shouldnt be alowed to drive
Oh my god those ants
You can tell a lot about a person by looking at their car.
man the first wheels are fine, just recarve the grooves in duh everyone does that
These cars are dangerous for others drivers on the road.
They should make a law where everyone who buys a car, takes lessons on how importance maintenenace is and what happenes when you dont do it. Make it a law, serious!!!
5:20 this is why I always glue the dip stick shut, don't want any oil getting out It's not like you need to check your oil for anything. lol what you checking if the oil is still there? of course it is dummy nobody's gonna steal your oil.
does anybody know what actually happened to that truck at 5:30?
All those problems with ear filters...
0:31 When since 2020? lol
15:00. All Chevy Luminas should be long off the road by now.
This is what putting salt on the road in winter does to your car. It eats it up!
But it adds "flavor" :)
People are to stupid and too cheap to spend the $10 and get a car wash with underbody flush when they fill up during the winter.
Obligatory yearly MOT inspection? No, because "freedom"...
@@reno145 So your doors can freeze shut??
Rock salt 'sweats' at >80% humidity ('hygroscopic') but not much in the dry cold of Winter. (Rinse underbody w/plain water in Spring) The chloride (CaCl) that MI and other states spray on dirt roads to minimize dust and somewhat 'cement' solidity 'sweats' at >20% humidity, aka 24/7/365 here in the Midwest, with road salt still getting the rap in many places where dust is the culprit. btw, Driving/owning/wrenching since '66.
Hey I know how to balance them tires it’s called a burn out
