Last week I was afraid I was going to be on Just Rolled In. When I left the store my car was making a weird noise, sort of like a frog. It didn't increase or change in any way as I accelerated. When I stopped the noise stopped. When I got home I checked around the tires and front end. Eventually I found the source, a frog sitting in the grill of my car. He was fine and I figured the sound was the amphibian equivalent of WHEEE!
This is why it is IMPERATIVE to have a good, trusted mechanic. I am fortunate that my best friend is one. Some of these shop mistakes are truly inexcusable
@@sergioguap That's true. But my friend (the mechanic I talked about) told me of cases where he's worked in shops that made egregious mistakes and then lied about it (Of course, he quit those disreputable businesses once their scofflaw ways became apparent)

a roller coaster of emotions during your videos. laughter, shock, anger, amazement, disappointment, and satisfaction and more in every episode. smh. thanks again.
The radio complaint (and similar situations) remind me of when I was a AAA driver. 'Customer states car won't start.' I'd sit down at the wheel, shift from D to P, and start the car. (Those customers always tipped well.)
Some of us don't have many hours with automatic transmissions and yes I have shut down a automatic in drive and gotten upset with the key not pulling out of the ignition 😂
I once stopped the car and couldn't get the key out, so I slightly panicked, cause I couldn't start the car and I was at a desolate place. After I calmed down, and started diagnosing, I Found the car was still in D.
Years ago my wife was the last one to drive my truck and then it wouldn't start. I spent hours diagnosing every damn thing before sitting in the drivers seat at my wits end when I saw it.... was still in reverse. That was 15 years ago and I'm still facepalming about it to this day. Ever since then I learned to eliminate the most minor and seemingly obvious problems first, then work my way down lol.
I am guilty of this fault. My first car, a '92 Volvo 240, would allow you to remove the key while the car was in Drive. Took 3 grown men (my HS boyfriend's father, my father and my dad's friend) to figure out what the issue was. Then the neutral safety switch went and my dad asked "did you put it in park?!"
Years ago, at the first dealership I worked at, a lady brought her Taurus in because of an odor problem. Turns out, her kid's pet snake had been in a shoe box, and had gotten out on her way home. She never knew what happened to the snake until this odor issue came up. The snake had gotten itself behind the dash up on the heater plenum for warmth and died up there. I don't think we ever did get the smell out of that car entirely.
O man that's bad!!! I had one years ago found a dead turtle in a woman's suv I was dating her son was trying to hide it from her in a box under the seat and he forgot about it I assume the heat got to it from being in a hot car a couple days man it stunk
@@frankm8533 yikes! I remember that technician replaced the carpet and the heater case from that snake, along with having detail clean it. It was never right after that
@Greg Barnett Some smells never leave that's for sure! I got my sisters pervious car last year and she's not the cleanest person it smelled like cigarette smoke pretty bad I spent a couple days detailing it pulled the seats out and carpet but I still get a smell sometimes which I can only explain as old dirty laundry and that car has been cleaned good but that smell still pops up sometimes
I had a friend who was a constant prankster, I got fed up with having the door handle on my car filled with graphited grease etc so I decided to get him back by slipping a fresh uncleaned wet fish I had caught the day before behind a door panel of his car, it took him 3 weeks to find where the stink was coming from and it did the trick, his constant pranking ended right there.
I was a mechanic in my 20's, after going to vo-tech. I used to study all the diagrams and books in school, preparing to fix all the super tricky mehanical problems customers would bring, where no one else could figure it out. Turns out every problem I ever saw was so obvious a monkey could have figured it out.
I have seen some truly nightmarish wiring jobs. Things like bare wires twisted together inside a metal lightbox....on a gasoline hauler! But it keeps blowing 10 amp fuses so the genius driver installs 20, 30, even 50 amp fuses. Gee what could go wrong? Then there's the hone installed sound systems and underglow lighting. Makes me want to go back to working on airplanes.
@@petuniasevan I've done it myself. Hard to diagnose front end issues without a hoist but the repairs are usually pretty easy for someone used to wrenching his own stuff.

@@Ghauster Yeah. I exchanged the main metering jets for slightly larger items and installed a dual-point distributor. Tube header also.

@@shooter2055 My mother had one when I was a kid. Somebody in California was making a tuning kit for them. Add lead weights to the distributor weights, bore out the jets and run 21 degrees advance. Made a big change in performance. Trouble came in the differential. It developed a howl. Even though Mom didn't have a lead foot. Dad traded it in on a Monza.
@@Ghauster The diff problems involved the lateral, 'spider' gears. A small amount of "enthusiastic" cornering caused the spiders' bearings/bushings to 'wallow out'', allowing half-shafts to move laterally. That noise was just a symptom. Ignored, a half-shaft/roadwheel might decide to exit the axle tube. GM quality.
Many years ago I changed the ignition points in my brother's car, I dropped one of the mounting screws down the side of the distributor. Since we were doing the tune up outside in the snow, I left it there and just installed a replacement screw. We started up the engine and the screw had wedged itself between the shaft and housing. This caused the shaft to snap where it went into the oil pump. It took hours to remove the broken piece, and a new distributor. Did I learn my lesson? Yes! If I drop a screw or bolt or anything else I find it before moving on...

" uh this car came in, cutting everyones off in the line, pretty rude. but get this. THERES NO ONE DRIVING IT.. you know. in the seat?..... well on dashboard it says it requires oil change and filter what do i do boss?" @@ThaFuzzwood
Im guilty of one of these. I changed the oil in a customers Escort. Th oil filter was on the back of the engine and very hard to see. When I got done with the oil change it was leaking, but only when you drive it and not at idle, I guess it only leaked at higher oil pressure, so it wasn't obvious until they left. They brought it back and I put it on the lift and saw large amounts of oil all around the oil filter. I made sure it was tight then removed it to check the sealing ring, all was good. Figured it was just a bad oil filter. Put a new one on it, no leaks, I hadn't realized it only leaks when driving yet. They came back the next day with the same problem. Got it on the lift again, took the oil filter off and looked around the filter boss with a mirror. Sure enough there was a wire harness just above the oil filter with a Ford part number tag on it. When I unscrewed the old filter the tag fell onto the filter sealing journal. These things happen. Love your channel, it's funny seeing some of the things people try to pull off.
I'm reminded of a CRV I think, it wasn't a customer complaint but I get in, turn it on, it's a hot summer day and they have the A/C blasting max cold. Both heated seats are on high.
My wife's car had the seat heater button where my knee could easily hit it and turn on. I had a couple moments where I was sweating and finally noticed the light was on.
Hehehe. Reminds me of an old boss I had, would go out 10 minutes before he left and start truck and turn A/C on. One time he did that, I went over, turned heat and fan on max, shut the door and went back to work. It was about 90 degrees out.. When he opened the door to get in, he about passed out from the heat. I laughed. Never did it to him again 😅😊
All the stuff hanging from mirrors is incredible. No only do you have strange things happening, it cuts into your field of vision, and...you risk having it crack the windshield on a hard stop.
as a tech myself, a pack of Mason jars is one the most valueable tools i own. take the fluid sample, close and label the jar, put it up on the service counter for the customer to actually see.
Had a car towed in recently with no brakes. The pedal would go completely to the floor then spring back quickly upon release, no external fluid leaks were seen. Upon picking the vehicle up in the air the problem became easily apparent. A section of steel brake line had rotted out along the frame rail. The customer had cut that bad section out and had clamped in a length of 5/16 rubber fuel hose in its place. Of course this customer had completely failed to mention this little genius repair he had concocted and installed!
Knight rider. I watch all your videos. They all very funny. I can't believe what people do. Instead of seeing the experts first. Keep up the awesome work.
The skittles thing was funny, I worked years ago with this guy who back in the day would put tampons down the filler necks of people cars who pissed him off, he said as they expanded when soaking up gas they would get sucked onto the intake filter screen blocking it and when it stalled the tampon would fall off because of lack of suction, float around until it got close to the filter and get sucked back on it.
Well there you go this one came up in my recommendations. Saw it before but always enjoyed watching again. The end card has an Aussie VZ Commodore Ute in it. I got rid of mine in June and it still breaks my heart.
I do minor repair work on my vehicles. After watching these "repair" videos, I feel like a master auto mechanic! If I did not see these "repair" attempts, I would not believe it.
How on earth do you install a radiator upside down ? I remember sitting in the Knight rider K.I.T.T car as a kid back in the early 80's when it was on tour. I even have the polaroid picture of me in there :D
LOL, the snake, it happened to me in a U-Haul while we were moving! It was my son's snake (ball python), and he put him in the glove box for a minute thinking it couldn't get out. It got up behind the dash, and we couldn't even see him! We're sitting there in the driveway of our old house taking apart the dashboard while the movers we hired were cracking up taking pictures. They looked around and saw him and we were able to pull him out without injury. We didn't let him loose in the U-Haul anymore!
The fake oil pressure gauge is a common trick lol that’s why I never buy from auctions or dealers. If they refuse to send the car to a trusted mechanic, don’t walk away, *RUN* away.
I don't understand how someone could fall for that, it would show full oil pressure without the engine running and how would you not notice a bright yellow MAP gas bottle when you opened the hood?
@@ferrumignis 90% of millennials know absolutely nothing about cars and are the perfect victims of the tricks and misdeeds of the auto industry. If most young Americans actually bothered to care about the quality of their cars, things would be way different. Of course, the vast majority of young people (especially women) don’t have much desire or need to know about cars anymore since leasing became the norm
1:36 I had to pause after this one… Either somebody decided to steal *only* the caliber and bracket, or the customer was doing some work and somehow forgot to put them back. Or maybe they just lost them. Who knows with these guys. 😂
I recognize that blue paint on that oil filter. That was a Wally World screw up. That's a common issue with getting your bread and shoes at the same place that services your vehicle. People will never learn🤦

I never understand how when people do their own work they don't notice that the parts they put in aren't fitting like the ones they took out
That's a valid point, if they were paying attention to how they fit while disassembling, and I have my doubts ...
I legit had to pause the video and ask "wtf" like 3 times on the one where they used wood screws on the valve cover
@adamdport no kidding. I've used different bolts on things before but I made damn sure A. The threads were the same B. Checked the length and C. Made sure they were the same diameter.
@@adamdport "its a screw lol no worries"
That feels like their thought process; complete, without even any punctuation.
Imagine how awesome it would be to work in a shop and have KITT roll in.
By theirselves. I wonder if there are (in fact I am SURE there are) people who are converting tesla's or other self-driving cars into KITTs. Would be badass :)
@@ThaFuzzwood If I ever get money, I want to build KITT and then take it to Telsa and see if they will add the self driving computer.
@@Seriona1 To my understanding they're incredible uncomfortable because of all the extra shit.
The thing to do though would be to build KITT out of a Tesla
" uh this car came in, cutting everyones off in the line, pretty rude. but get this. THERES NO ONE DRIVING IT.. you know. in the seat?..... well on dashboard it says it requires oil change and filter what do i do boss?" @@ThaFuzzwood
I wonder how often the owner drives it around listening to the theme music
"Another Shop" means that the customer F-ed up and will blame anyone but himself.
I never get bored of these. So amusing
Nice to see KITT at the end there. Thanks again for your quality vids.
Im guilty of one of these. I changed the oil in a customers Escort. Th oil filter was on the back of the engine and very hard to see. When I got done with the oil change it was leaking, but only when you drive it and not at idle, I guess it only leaked at higher oil pressure, so it wasn't obvious until they left. They brought it back and I put it on the lift and saw large amounts of oil all around the oil filter. I made sure it was tight then removed it to check the sealing ring, all was good. Figured it was just a bad oil filter. Put a new one on it, no leaks, I hadn't realized it only leaks when driving yet. They came back the next day with the same problem. Got it on the lift again, took the oil filter off and looked around the filter boss with a mirror. Sure enough there was a wire harness just above the oil filter with a Ford part number tag on it. When I unscrewed the old filter the tag fell onto the filter sealing journal. These things happen. Love your channel, it's funny seeing some of the things people try to pull off.
those damn tags
I've stopped shaking my head over the stupidity of these owners and their brothers.
I gasp alot. Keeps me conscious.
Yeah, Somethings are just jawdropping. I cant move my head in disbelive.
With the stupidity going on in the news today, we are desensitized to this level of stupidity.
Look at the bright side: There's hope for the rest of us.
Well, everyone should know that you don't use hot glue to connect wires. That is what J B Weld is for!
Thanks for sharing as always. I hope you and your new baby and wife are doing well!
Thank you, we appreciate that!
I'm reminded of a CRV I think, it wasn't a customer complaint but I get in, turn it on, it's a hot summer day and they have the A/C blasting max cold.
Both heated seats are on high.
My wife's car had the seat heater button where my knee could easily hit it and turn on. I had a couple moments where I was sweating and finally noticed the light was on.
Hehehe.
Reminds me of an old boss I had, would go out 10 minutes before he left and start truck and turn A/C on. One time he did that, I went over, turned heat and fan on max, shut the door and went back to work. It was about 90 degrees out..
When he opened the door to get in, he about passed out from the heat. I laughed. Never did it to him again 😅😊
This channel is a monument to the ingenuity of shade tree mechanics. They do things I couldn't think of in a thousand years.
Yes, I needed a few laughs today ...Thanks... Just Rolled In.
Don't we all! 😜👍
🤣🤣 the radio changing stations was the best
All the stuff hanging from mirrors is incredible. No only do you have strange things happening, it cuts into your field of vision, and...you risk having it crack the windshield on a hard stop.
as a tech myself, a pack of Mason jars is one the most valueable tools i own.
take the fluid sample, close and label the jar, put it up on the service counter for the customer to actually see.
As an owner of a Kitt replica myself, that was cool to see.
The fact that he screwed the oil filter on so it didn’t leak and ruin the motor needs to be recognized here 😂 1:31
"Brawndo...It's got what plants crave."
It's got Electrolytes.
Skittles, it's got what cars crave
Had a car towed in recently with no brakes. The pedal would go completely to the floor then spring back quickly upon release, no external fluid leaks were seen. Upon picking the vehicle up in the air the problem became easily apparent. A section of steel brake line had rotted out along the frame rail. The customer had cut that bad section out and had clamped in a length of 5/16 rubber fuel hose in its place. Of course this customer had completely failed to mention this little genius repair he had concocted and installed!
> that oil pressure bottle thing
I mean, yall tell me, but ay that point I feel like it would just be easier to fix the issue
At 1:57 you can hear a mechanic say, "This is how we roll." 😛
I hope K.I.T.T. was ok! 😂
2:00 that Map gas can faking the oil pressure is next level evil.
Getting professionally screwed
love your content bro !!!
and you usually upload before the others
Thanks, Dan!
I've tried watching a few others recommended by youtube, and none of them compare.
Knight rider. I watch all your videos. They all very funny. I can't believe what people do. Instead of seeing the experts first. Keep up the awesome work.
1:51 Nah, man, that's just early hover-conversion. It just doesn't get too high off the ground.
All I can say is Thank You God for mechanics. I appreciate what you all do.
The skittles thing was funny, I worked years ago with this guy who back in the day would put tampons down the filler necks of people cars who pissed him off, he said as they expanded when soaking up gas they would get sucked onto the intake filter screen blocking it and when it stalled the tampon would fall off because of lack of suction, float around until it got close to the filter and get sucked back on it.
This is quite vengeful 😂 imaging doing the diagnosis for that!
So his name must have been KEVIN .
I heard the same thing about cigars. The bits of leaves would float and block suction.
Well there you go this one came up in my recommendations. Saw it before but always enjoyed watching again. The end card has an Aussie VZ Commodore Ute in it. I got rid of mine in June and it still breaks my heart.
Good ones again dude 👌
Upside-down radiator is just unreal 😮🤦♂️🤣 have a great week bud 👍
I don't know how they installed it upside down 😂😂 and you as well my friend 👍
@@JustRolledIn My question is, how did they fill it? Through the drain?
@@stanstenson8168 I think they must have took off a radiator hose and filled it up.
@@JustRolledIn Could be.
I do minor repair work on my vehicles. After watching these "repair" videos, I feel like a master auto mechanic! If I did not see these "repair" attempts, I would not believe it.
"I'm mind blown"
Yeah me too pal, haha!
Yaaaay a KITT!! :3 Always great to see one of the surviving originals from the show!
How on earth do you install a radiator upside down ?
I remember sitting in the Knight rider K.I.T.T car as a kid back in the early 80's when it was on tour. I even have the polaroid picture of me in there :D
Those all-natural serpentine belts are tricky
I find it amazing there is enough of this happening to support your channel with so much regular content.
As a song from many ago said, "people are stupid".
Man I remember when I was young and KITT was my dream car. Even to this day I love the body style from the 80's-early 90s.
0:05 Someone jumped their Camaro, methinks. lol
Me thinks the same lol
jumped, hill hopped, hit a RR crossing or a big speedbump
LOL, the snake, it happened to me in a U-Haul while we were moving! It was my son's snake (ball python), and he put him in the glove box for a minute thinking it couldn't get out. It got up behind the dash, and we couldn't even see him! We're sitting there in the driveway of our old house taking apart the dashboard while the movers we hired were cracking up taking pictures. They looked around and saw him and we were able to pull him out without injury. We didn't let him loose in the U-Haul anymore!
Another great video 📹
Thanks, Paul!
That stereo setup is beautiful. Boss audio and everything.
All the Wal Mart
The fake oil pressure gauge is a common trick lol that’s why I never buy from auctions or dealers. If they refuse to send the car to a trusted mechanic, don’t walk away, *RUN* away.
I don't understand how someone could fall for that, it would show full oil pressure without the engine running and how would you not notice a bright yellow MAP gas bottle when you opened the hood?
@@ferrumignis Well, they paint the bottle to make it blend in. Usually.
Seems like it would be easier to just put a resistor in. Haha
@@ferrumignis 90% of millennials know absolutely nothing about cars and are the perfect victims of the tricks and misdeeds of the auto industry. If most young Americans actually bothered to care about the quality of their cars, things would be way different. Of course, the vast majority of young people (especially women) don’t have much desire or need to know about cars anymore since leasing became the norm
@@anthonyberger810 _" 90% of millennials know absolutely nothing about cars"_
Sad but true, and I'm sure the situation with Gen Z is far worse.
1:51 Mario kart 8 anti gravity wheels!
How do you NOT KNOW how you lost a caliper and bracket??
1:36 I had to pause after this one… Either somebody decided to steal *only* the caliber and bracket, or the customer was doing some work and somehow forgot to put them back.
Or maybe they just lost them. Who knows with these guys. 😂
Luv this channel i dont always comment but always leave a like :)
Appreciate you 😊
Uh oh. I better go check my engine since I used drywall screws to replace a head gasket! LOL
Oh boy 😂
Once they managed to fix KIT, I'm betting Optimus Prime will show up for an oil leak
That screw in the engine was a woodscrew... What was that doing anywhere near the engine?
Okay , I see 2 things the " oil change place " did wrong , 1 smashed some wiring , 2 installed a fram oil filter 🤦
At least they got it on tight enough to not leak.
That belt routing at 1:20 is actually clever, haha. It'll kill the belt fast, but it works for now.
I wanna know what brand of belt that was, and why didn't it go snap?
AC Delco I think they said.
We've seen another one like this in an older video. Always surprises me when they don't break lol
It was very loose, of course....
"That's how we roll."
I'm mind blown.
I always look at this channel!! AGAIN GREAT VIDEOS!
I am also surprised - how bad some vehicles are, that are going down the road right next to us!
I recognize that blue paint on that oil filter. That was a Wally World screw up. That's a common issue with getting your bread and shoes at the same place that services your vehicle.
People will never learn🤦
After seeing these I wonder if I really needed to replace my pads at 4mm. Looks like people are driving just fine with only half the brakes installed.
I love these videos! How is your little one doing?
Thanks, John! We had a doctor's appointment for him today. Everything is good, just one thing the doctor wants checked by a specialist. Otherwise he's doing awesome. I appreciate you asking!
@1:51 .. lmao .. didn't know we were going for the "back to the future vibe"
How did they get coolant in the radiator when it's upside down?😂
Knowing these people, they probably drilled a whole on the "top"
1:51 Bro, you’re bouta start the camber wheel trend all over again! 😂🤣😂🤣
How? How do you install a radiator upside down??? How??
Never underestimate the stupidity of some people
Where there is a will, there is a way
"That's how we roll" Hahahahaha I love the technician comments.
Don't let your brother work on your car again. 🤣
That system with the hot glue is typical of the do it yourself audio peeps lol way to funny
Of all the videos I have seen on this channel , this has got to be the most craziest collection of stupidity I have seen . Keep up the good work !
THIS IS HOW WE ROLL ! ! !😂😂😂😂
Them Camber Stance bro's are just getting out of hand now man...
right? damn kids lol
last one: i can just hear the "knight rider" melody playing from watching the clip hehehe (amazing show)
The individuals clips are shocking enough. Never mind the sheer volume of submissions. I have never seen a repeated video on this channel!
1:58 - "This is how we roll". :D
I loved knight rider as a kid.
