    As for the coyote at the quick lube place, I’m mechanic at a place that does both mechanical work (not small time mechanical work, one of the techs just the other week did the Honda V6 piston ring job, we’ve done LS/LT lifter jobs, fairly advanced diagnostics, etc. admittedly, we try to stay away from major internal engine work, but if it’s something that a particular tech is intimately familiar with, we’ll tear a motor down quite happily.) and the quick oil changes…personally, I’m the shop diesel guy…once, I was over pulling wrenches doing my thing, and I heard Cummins noises, looked up, and it’s a 70’s dodge pulling in for an oil change…I walked over to the oil change side right as they’re popping the hood, and lo and behold, this guy had a 70’s D150 that had been ISB 5.9 swapped, I obviously immediately said ‘Oh! Uhh…that’s not supposed to be in there!’ And started talking to the guy, very interested in what was going on there…of course the lube techs put the vin in the computer and it came up with a completely different engine…fortunately they where smart enough to realize that the I6 that the computer said was there and the I6 that was actually there where a little bit different…I’m BSing with the guy and the lube techs ask me ‘uhh…what is this, what oil does it take?’ ‘Rotella T4.’ ‘Umm…how much?’ ‘12 quarts. And prefill the filter.’…ya…glad I was there that day, cause, as much as I enjoy working on those cummins’, if I had to put one in for free cause those jackasses put not enough of the wrong oil in it, I would not have been happy….

      At least with a body there's more information you can ask for certain symptoms and history, and people are more able to tell you whats wrong. With cars however, you're reliant on the customers to have intimate knowledge of their cars which is a rarity. if it's a rare disease though, you ain't getting a diagnosis without further test.

      I've had the cellphone diag before. The customer brought in his 08 F150 and said the ball joints are noisy. I take for a test drive and I hear nothing unusual. I put on the hoist and do some checks. I still find nothing wrong. I talk to the customer and he tells me that I have to drive the truck 100km before it makes noise. He's not willing to pay for a three hour diagnosis and pulls out his phone to play the noise he recorded. It was the spool valve in the power steering pump shuttling back and forth because he was holding the steering wheel all the way to one side and dead ending the pump.

    At some point you should cover the differences in brake maintenance for electrics. Yes, they'll last a lot longer, but that doesn't mean you can just ignore them. If you live somewhere that has salt (so, salted roads in the winter or near the ocean) you should make sure to actually _use_ the friction brakes on a regular basis instead of just using the regen.
    Your rotors can start to _rust_ on the friction surfaces. If that happens, then when the day happens where you _really need_ the friction brakes, you have powdered rust between the friction surfaces. They don't work very well like that.
    Cars without regenerative braking, or not enough of it to avoid using friction brakes most of the time, don't have to worry about it since the pads are polishing the rotors on the daily. The rust still happens, but so little that it doesn't matter, and it gets rubbed off right away.

    Just an observation with the quick lube on the coyote. I have a buddy of mine who is a veteran. Combat wounded and lost both of his legs. He loves working on cars and especially diesels. But it's very hard for him to get down and do stuff underneath. He has to take off his legs and put on some rubber protectors over the nubs and everything. And its hard for him to maneuver like that. Because of this he usually has a quicklube/mechanic shop do his oil changes. But he is very specific with the type and amount of oil to put in. Could be a situation like that and the message was never given or recieved on what type of oil to use.

    That shuddering brake situation happens to rust belt cars, mostly if stored outside for long periods between drives. The pads cause rust patches on the rotors, resulting in a thickness variation (as Angelina mentioned). In severe cases, it can cause the whole car to shake under braking as the pads grab the thicker spots on every rotation.

      The new norm is "do things as quickly as possible". Anything short of getting a task done is considered to be cut from the task entirely.
      When you do an oil change (either for the first time on a specific model, or as a mechanic doing multiple a day), you need to:
      - Research the specifics (Oil type and quantity required, filter too.)
      - Research the method.
      - Do the thing.
      - Check that you did the thing right.
      Anything in that list that isn't "Do the thing" probably gets cut.

      Its not mechanic stuff, but at my job I have to check fixes other companies make to their software, and theyll send us a list of things they fixed, and at least half of it is exactly the same as it was before. Most of it is the easiest shit in the world to verify too, but they never do. It's at least 80% of companies we work with are like this. Then they come back with "oops, we forgot to update such and such, it should be good now", and even then lots of times it still isn't changed. Fucking no one verifies anything, it blows my mind.

      My dad was a mechanic for 50+ years and he'd be slapping me from his urn if I never checked the fluid levels after having work done on my car. He made sure I know how to do an oil change in an emergency, change flat tires, and do basic brakes if I absolutely needed to. Nothing funnier than seeing the faces of the mechanics that just worked on my car watch me, a woman, lift the hood and start double checking dip sticks, battery, hoses, belts, the radiator etc... Not saying they do anything wrong, but I've known too many women who've wound up having to take their cars back for repair work due to the mechanic(s) conveniently forgetting to top off fluid levels; especially oil and brake fluid. When I was e n my eaely 20's a mechanic once tried to tell me the master cylinder needed to be changed after they had to do my brakes and replace one of the lines. I saw that there wasn't any fluid in the reservoir so I asked why there was no brake fluid in it and how did they bleed the new line without it. They went back and fixed the "problem" for free and ta-da the master cylinder was just fine!😉

    The car with the radiator hanging and the loose bumper was a MK 5 VW, and that issue is pretty common. The whole radiator support is plastic, and it breaks the first time you hit anything like a curb or parking marker. I had this exact thing happen when my lowered Jetta hooked its front bumper over a parking marker. As soon as you back out, the lower radiator support rips off and takes the front bumper with it. I was lucky, enough of my rad support remained to hold the rad up until I could fix it.
