@@Praise___YaH Get lost, troll.
It's amazing to me how people have no understanding of the difference between catastrophic failure and a minor issue
Talking about that Tacoma engine that us pretty bad as that's timing unless this is sarcasm which is hard to convey on text
I don't know a thing about cars, yet end up watching these videos lol. I have no clue what's wrong 80% of the time unless it's obviously borked.
Timing is catastrophic. Bent valve rods, at best, seized engine at worst maybe.... I dont know much. But like the other commenter said dont know if this is sarcasm lol! Have great day!
Is that comment specifically about cars? I work in IT and could make exactly the same statement about computers. It's all about context and experience. A number of the things in this video I look at and go "what's wrong?", Yes there's some glaringly obvious eg rusted through but there are others that the average person simply has no experience of
@@brentbennett5401 they probably meant all the other stuff.
the fact that these vehicles are out there driving around.. is scary!
in Europe you just can't
at 6:35 honestly the customer was spot on, perfect description really.
GET TO THE CHOPPAAAAH!!
Man, if I started having that problem, I would never fix it. Just gotta mount a reflector sight to the bonnet and *voila* rush hour becomes a dogfight. James Bond, eat your heart out.
I once had a customer accuse me of not knowing my job very well. He called me an idiot for not knowing he had a factory V12 in his Toyota. I'll give him credit for apologising after the third time I explained how some engines have two plugs per cylinder.
I bet that he can feel the difference in power now that you explained it to him.
The young man was downright heartbroken.
It reminds me when i was a kid, we used to run from car to car in the parking lot, and marvel, looking though the window how fast they could go, looking at the highest number on the speedometer :)
waaaa that crusty family van can do 240 kmh !!!
When I watch these I'm most impressed by the state of some of the vehicles. I dunno how something can get so completely trashed.
My old work truck is in a horrible mechanical state. Had $20 bucks to my name 3 years ago when it started to show it’s age. When i finally got my affairs straight and money on the bank. I made the decision to let it die after 10 years with it and 270k and get me a car 13 years younger with 30k.
Only put a new battery and it’s regular oil changes. The b*stard is till running refusing to die.
I literally had that loose oil filter happen to me after going to a Jiffy Lube. Luckily the oil drained out in front of my house and NOT on the 300 mile road trip I had planned the following day. I actually demanded they come out and clean the mess! The manager was out a couple hours later with kitty litter and new oil.

I worked at a couple different jiffy lubes over a few years. One of them, the technicians weren't doing bay calls, and the upper bay tech wasn't looking down at the lower bay tech during final inspection. It's actually POLICY and we were TRAINED to watch the lower bay tech put a wrench on the drain plug and hand on the oil filter (you can tell when they are faking it). We were also required to put our store number, the date, and the initials of the upper and lower bay technician. The one I worked at in VA did 120 to 160 per day. The one in IA where the techs weren't performing properly, did 60 cars per day. What sad is when they don't follow proper procedures, things like you're experience, happen. I personally can't stand people who won't do the job right the first time, and as a former store manager of jiffy lube, I'm very disappointed and embarrassed to hear stories like yours.
@@Praise___YaH
Mehh
@@trm4life thus why i do almost everything i can myself. On my Audi the only thing i took it to a shop for was the water pump and timing when it shit the bed. The shop i took it to was also highly recommended by a buddy of mine that wrenches everything on his vehicles
I had a boss that they stripped the oil pan bolt and it fell out while idling warming up. Then when he went to change the filter it was so tight he had to shove a screwdriver through it to turn it. Another person they put the wrong belt on the engine and caused the belt to fly off. Then tried to say he needed a new tensioner for the belt. Yea, they put a AC belt on a non AC truck and it was very loose.
Some of these problems are due to the owners. But sometimes stuff breaks even when maintained and operated correctly.
The cheater bar one made me crack a smile. It was just so wholesome.
I’m always impressed what some these people do too their cars
I'm amazed at how wood works well with the suspension 🤣 people are genius 😂
same, and I just blew my transmission

@@Borkowsky1990 The Morgan Motor Company has been using ash wood for its vehicles' frames for all 112 years of the company's existence. (It has always used metal for its suspension parts, however.)
A few years back I brought my suburban in for new tires. Got there at 8:30 am , the manager said they would be done easily by 4pm. I arrived at 5:30 and my truck is still up on the hoist and the left front wheel is off. He said it would just be a few minutes. Twenty minutes later I was on my way. Two days later the front left caliper froze up and I thought that is strange. I went to take the wheel off and two of the studs were missing. The custom wheels on this truck had locking covers that went over the lug nuts so you couldn't see them. I decided to check the others and the right rear axle was missing a stud as well. I knew they were there before I went in as I usually do all my own maintence. So back to the shop I go to see what they would do. I asked the manager if these so called techs that work here know which way to turn a lug nut.The manager just blew me off and said I must have done it. Really I pleaded my case in front of him as well as several others waiting for their cars. He got up and just walked in the back room stating that he was done talking to me. As he did I turned and faced the others who were there and told them; " A word to the wise, these people here have no idea what they are doing and I would never ever trust them to work on my car again, neither should you." The look on their faces made it all worth it as they all looked like they all got it. Went home and had them all fixed in a hour or so. If you find a repair man that is trustworthy and knows what he is doing, stick with him. They are like gold, they won't be the cheapest but you won't have to go back to have the same repair done twice.
How in the world do some of these cars even make it into the shop? Especially the one with the rusted out lower control arm?? You'd think the CV axle would have been pulled out! It's unreal how many cars like this are on our roads!! Frightening!!
Seems that in some states of the US, there is no annual registration inspections.
It was like that here in Australia in the 1960s and 70s, and we just beat cars until they stopped. Then in most states they introduced mandatory safety inspections every year, after the car is 5 years old. It got a hell of a lot of dubious cars off the roads, including most of mine LOL
As to that semi blowout: I had a trailer tire blowout earlier this year and it bent the steel semi wheel in half and shot it off the hub, breaking two lugs and stripping the threads on the rest. The force shoved the trailer 5 feet sideways.
Neither I nor the tire guy had ever seen anything like it. It looked like I had hit a pole at 100mph, but I was in a parking lot. The employees of the lot I was in came out guns drawn thinking there was a shotgun blast and an active shooter. lol
Wow! I hope no one got hurt. That could've killed somebody!
@@GOGOSLIFE thankfully, no. I was the only person in the lot at the time. It took a chunk out of the retaining wall, though.
Jesus, that makes it sound like the tire was at 150 psi or something
@@hypeninja4786 you would be suprised how much damage a semi tire can do at 105 psi. Had a guy back into my trailer one time and catch the wheel with his dot bar. The force of the tire blowing actully ripped the dot bar off the welds and V,ed the floor up while also sheering the bottom door hinges.
Another good one is i was doing dump work hauling scrap. Chunk of steel fell off another truck into a mud hole that you had to cross to get out. I hit it and the force of my steer blowing shot the chunk of metal a good 200 yards and impailed the wall of a storage container.....after it punched a hole through my steel bumper.
You know after seeing a few of these videos, I am glad that we have TÜV in Germany. Most of these cars would have never gotten a certification to be used on public roads and probably would have landed on the scrap yard long ago.
The details vary from state to state, but we do require safety inspections in the US as well. In my state, we renew our license plates every other year. In order to get or renew plates, the vehicle must be inspected by a certified mechanic. In short, the cars you're talking about aren't legal here either, yet there they are.
My old car was a fire hazard. Big fuel and oil problem, worn out from 20 years of use (350 000km) a real mess. I wasn't the owner paperwork and registration wise but it was given to me so I can get to college by a family member. I don't even know how it passed inspection in the first place.
We can't have something on part with the TÜV in the states since it'd reveal how many vehicles were manufactured by accountants. Could damage a brand and hurt sales. Can't have that.
@@birdysama2980 my county doesn't do emissions testing, but we have annual safety inspections. So, it could have been safe to drive, but would have simply failed emissions.
These never get old. Please don't stop uploading.
14:04 Haha! I do this with the sticky notes my customers stick on their laptop cameras, so satisfying. I always replace it with a proper sliding cover, it just looks and works better and they cost like $0.10
Get to da choppa!!!!
A man of culture I see.
Jiffy Lube did the same thing to me put wrong oil filter on it backed off and blew my engine which they replaced free of charge to me
11:00 - Were those guys scared of a CHICKEN?
My god, that bmw steering wheel almost made me spit out my beer!!! 🤣🤣 insanity! Best laugh I’ve had in a long time…..
Water in the center console for a A/T Mercedes is bad. Usually it is a spilled coffee that causes the issue or a sun roof left open in the rain. Check out the wiring diagram and see what is located right under the beverage holder. What were they thinking?
I had a 2015 Hyundai I 20 in today for a quite violent pull to the right,the customer had already had an alignment check at a place I know and trust and everything seemed to be in order. After removing the front wheels I had a nose around and peered through the small hole in the caliper bridge to check how the pads had been wearing,it looked like the anti squeal shim had shifted forwards so I pulled the caliper off only to find a tea spoon, bent over and wedged between the inner pad and the piston pushing the front of the pad into the disc and forcing the sliding caliper off at an angle causing the sliders to bind and holding the o/s brake on😁
2:03 glad to see other people have a good taste in music
I am doubting though if a thermal drill would fix anything though
Great episode guys can't wait for the next one😉😎👍
Viewer states: People need to learn to hold their cameras horizontally, not vertically. 😠
I feel smarter already after watching this video.
These videos were funny to watch at first till I came to the realization that these are the people we have to share the road with.
seeing these problems almost makes me want to cry.... some people shouldn't have cars, trucks or lawnmowers....
Most drivers today don't know anything about vehicles. They know to put in gas, start it, step on pedals and turn the wheel and take the vehicle in for maintenance when the book or dash tells them to. Most don't really know how to "drive", they just steer.
Then there is the cost of repairs. Many people just don't have the money required for repairs on modern cars at garage rates, so they ignore things until it's a major problem.
had a girl ignore the small noise the wheel bearing was making. turned a $300 repair into a total car.
I'm suprised there aren't more mechanics in jail for knocking some good sense into customers heads.
Good sense doesn’t equal job security. I love the idiots.
You should have a rubber paddle for that exact purpose. Leave no visible bruises.
@@NJPurling There you go!
I just had to LOL when I saw all that wiring in the footwell. What are they fixing...a lamp? And remember kids, house wiring is for...umm....houses.
I am surprised these drivers even recognised something was wrong with their vehicles. The phrase I find myself saying in most of these is "Dude, I......" 😮😂
What's amazing to me is that people work so hard to purchase what may be the car of their dreams only to fall asleep when it comes to taking car of their dream car.
Critters! Thinking that space is for them. Gotta worry about that with my Jeep now. If birds don't come flying out form underneath, it's a squirrel on both rear tires skatterin' as I approach.
That scares the hell out of me. Some one is driving that?????
I wonder how many folks said " im gonna go get a second opinion and NEVER MAKE IT
6:44 🤣 “GET TO THA CHOPPA!!”
It's the only way out of here!
And that's why, I quit as a car mechanic in 1993. My bay got ALL the shitty jobs. I loved my job but, not the headaches, busted knuckles, suspicious dust and the short time allowed to perform a perfect job. Also, being a little ocd about my work, I double-double check everything I touched on a vehicle.
Left the grenade pin in on the Subaru timing belt tensioner
Really wish these weren't all recorded in portrait mode.
Some of these cars have added a new definition to the word 'BOOM'.
As a retired mechanic brings back memories
is there no safety inspections on vehicles in some states? The rust damage is so dangerous, it couldn't get that bad here in UK, I hope.
@10:50 Now thats what I call free range
15:35 pull the pin, it'll grenade, I bet. 🤦🤣
So many of these cars only only being held together by gravity and paint is terrifying.
The one that blows me away is how in every one of these videos, there's at least one or more cars that has a bullet hole through it.
1:55 "You don't say." Is exactly what I think about on almost all this kind of stuff.
It seems like some people are willing to drive their cars into the ground, that's so sad. You gotta love your car, you have to take care of it and it will take care of you, no matter how old it is. I drive a 2006 Jetta 1.9 tdi with 375 k km and it's a wonderful machine really, you just have to maintain it,and it will do you good :)
14:14 is like a stick shaker event in aviation but for a car.
I was a vehicle safety inspector in the state of Utah until the legislature decided that the inspections were unnecessary. I was an honest inspector, about 2/3rds of the vehicles I inspected failed. But I received so much flak from dishonest inspectors that would just write up a pass certificate, it was very frustrating. And those inspectors are the reason the program was done away with, there was not enough funding for the Highway Patrol to investigate, charge and prosecute these criminally negligent inspectors.
that's a question i asked myself when watching these vids.. do they even have safety inspections in the US??
Here it's mandatory. if you drive without your inspection certificate, you can get your car towed if the police controls you, and your insurance won't work.
And well. it's just bloody dangerous
Imagine, these vehicles are on the road, cutting you off and what not lol.
16:04
Noooooo, those 8 lug wagon wheels are so rare :(
I dont know whats worse, the condition of the cars, or how each of these videos where recorded vertically.
I wonder how many fatalities there are each year just from catastrophic frame rust.
Actually it's far overshadowed by everything else stupid.
At 2:14 its Ford for sure with a hole in a piston.Faulty injector is causing this....classic....
I'm so glad we in the UK have to put are car through an MOT to check it's still road legal, not to be confused with road worthy. For example an rust which has eaten a hole in the frame even if it's only big enough to get a screwdriver in. It's a fail, even a chip in the eye line of the driver, fail cracked lamp lense fail. Basically there lots of stuff to do when it's MOT time
11:39 I had that happen to me on a 1999 Nissan Almera (pulsar, N15). I bought the car used, and don't know if the pads were OEM or not.
But it cost me a complete new set of rear brakes (pistons were crusty around the seals).
no, those are the new drumless drum breaks dude! totally the newest trend in uneducated hacks without google auto-shop these days
Literally untill it's falling apart...
At least the tundra was covered under warranty. Buy a 70k truck, go 8 miles to have it detonate. 😱
It's ok , no big deal !! They can all be fixed with a couple rolls of DUCT TAPE !!!!! LMAO
Customer states "Every time I hit the brakes, I smell Chicken McNuggets."
Ahh the 11th Commandment: "He who is without Oil shall throw the first rod": Compression 9.4:1
This is why i change my own oil and brakes. Plus i had a buddy try to change his oil for the first time after going to a quick lube place. Dont know what they did to the oil drain plug but we stopped wrenching on it when we got to the point we were scared we were gonna break it off.
Love watching these Knowing I don't have deal with this sh!t anymore. Drivers only drive until it can't be driven anymore. 🤦
14:26 Those rotors aren’t even close to their runout tolerance. 😜
I did a brake job on a 70 Torino, I could see through the rotor.
These are the same people who think State Inspections are worthless...
This is the problem with modern reliable cars, older cars used to get regular maintenance because they were unreliable and would leave you stranded at the drop of a hat, modern cars will do 150-200k miles before this sort of thing happens " without" regular" maintenance, and having any kind of an impact accident in a rust bucket "WILL" most likely kill you and or your kids
You rescued Marcy.
Remember some of these rolling heaps next time you’re on a 60 mile an hour 2 Lane highway with lots of oncoming traffic😬
Are you guys in Michigan? There is a lot of rust
The favorite one I've ever had is honking the horn and the domelight goes on but the horn doesn't honk
Who knew CV joints are consumables?
"They gave their full measure."
Wait wait wait, you mean I’m not supposed to have a limited slip crank shaft
6:55 I took a "tire" off a car like that a few weeks ago, but all that was left were the sidewalls, no tire. The sidewalls were so strong, the alloy rim didn't even have a scratch, lol! 10:15 Had a Mazda "lock-lug" nut shatter like this, leaving the bevel part on the stud. I had to melt out the stud with a blowtorch without destroying the alloy wheel, not fun. The broken edges of the piece of the lock nut weren't even rounded by the torch even after torching the stud out. My guess is that the nut was some crappy zinc alloy that was fireproof, but not shatterproof! I dispose of customer's "lock-lugs", and replace them with standard factory nuts every chance I get. Lug nuts are more affordable than alloy wheels, so I also replace my customers' badly worn lug nuts for this reason!
Jiffy lube blew my engine up too. 2.8 vw vr6. Needed 15w30, they put in 0w20. Shot a rod 150 miles after change. They would not accept responsibility. I drove it into the shop with no noises.
3:55. Well, it was driven in . . . 😂
11:26 I can hear road noise/wind from the back, and all my doors and windows are closed.
With the amount of blow by that engine was creating I'm guessing that there was a lot of metal in the customer's oil pan.
I think a lot of this is because of the way people drive, I see a lot of flying up to the red light and then stand on the brakes to stop, then jump on the gas to go, flying over the railroad tracks, etc etc
These cars are on the road with us lol…lol 😅
On that LS or LT Chevy engine or whatever variant it was that oil pump really came apart
9:45 what happens when you oil pump installation tool is a hammer seen that one too many times
11:00 nice save. 👍
Clip 1....oh God a pt cruiser just sell it to a junkyard
@@Codyjrt yes
Must have let the magic smoke out it!!!
And many drove to the shop like that and the mechanic/tech took it for a test drive. Then you lift it up and see all the broken kill you, your neighbor on the road stuff. My other favorite is a fuel tank that's on E, light on and all, like gee thanks...but it never fails, fuel pump is out and the tank is topped off just as full as full can be.
I like when I get gas at a station, and the guy on the other side is pulling the trigger to really top it off or get it exactly at 60 bucks, and I ask, I'm sorry to bother you, but does your car ever have trouble starting? And they're like yeah, how'd you know, and so I explain why you really shouldn't keep pulling the trigger after it stops. You may or may not know, but when you do that, you run the risk of pushing fuel back up and into the charcoal canister and other EVPA systems resulting in hard to start. Eventually it won't start at all. Your welcome!
That Subaru that timing job I've seen that happen before and what that is there's a hydraulic tensioner in there for the timing belt there's a key you need to hold that together when you go to remove it they left the key in it
a lot of blutooth pistons in this one 😅
10:59 Two city boys removing a scared chicken from a mall crawler.
8:11 That is an amazing quality boot
It's fine it's been like that for years it was never an issue the whole time...... lmao cheers
Luckily we have a TÜV in Germany, that's life-threatening.
Thank God I work at a dealership and rarely see cars that are older than 4 or 5 years. Also, many mechanical issues, such as rusted control arms and other stuff linked to the suspension system, we would have to call the customer and tell them the car ain't coming out of the shop if it doesn't get fixed there and the only way to get it out is on a tow truck otherwise we simply deny working on it.
good luck with that. Cause i don't take my car to a dealership cause those scum bags charge way more than local shops. But they tell me i ain't getting my car back then id sue till their shop was closed due to going broke. depends on the state where you live but you can't deny the customer their car back
My older car was 19 years old. I got it from a family member. Honestly I don't know who their mechanic was but that car should have never left shop for sure. Everything rusted due to salt and humidity, weird noises, worn out belt, catastrophic engine bay with bolt fused to the frame and oil grime everywhere...and the cherry on top, heavy fuel leakage. I changed the belt and did my best with the engine bay but when rust starts and is well spread... it was a goner. Got it in autumn, drove it twice around the block(before a saw the entire state of the car), decided it was too dangerous and trashed it this summer. It was a Hyundai accent 2003 GS with 350 000km on the counter. It was already dead when I got it.
At 10:10 did not know you could do that either!
Don't know whether to laugh or cry after seeing their cars.
Customer states vehicle has a problem.........
.....Viewer states they can't see problem clearly as it's shot in portrait-mode!
