Each photo & video described.
These videos are meant to be educational but also 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 The customer's insurance company did not want to cover this damage.
0:26 GPS mount hits the power button of the radio screen causing it to shut off over bumps. The technician also mentioned the customer drove 80 miles/128 km for this appointment and was rather surprised it was that all along.
0:38 Customer just thought it needed an alignment. Parts were replaced and the car got an alignment afterwards. Make sure to read the owner's manual on where the lifting points are on your vehicle.
0:50 A new oil pan gasket was installed.
1:08 Not the first time we have seen this on the channel. Hopefully, it's just from people leaving their wigs/Halloween costumes on the road...
1:20 Look at the aftermarket cover and where the buttons are on the key fob. As mentioned the customer has been pressing the wrong buttons the whole time, so the remote start function didn't work.
1:32 "2011 Chevrolet Tahoe, customer states while driving check engine light will turn on and go into reduce engine power. Found left front of vehicle had some damage and they did not put the fender liner back in that supports the wiring harness causing it to hang contacting the rim and grounding out control circuits in the wiring harness."
1:54 Damage was repaired.
2:07 An important lesson for the customer and service advisor.
2:18 A/C was very cold when the dial was turned to the left.
2:26 Very common for Chevy trailblazers to see this happen. Looks like it has been like this for a while as you can see the tire has started to cup/have unusual wear.
2:36 Looks like brake fluid is leaking as well. Maybe the customer did the work himself but could not figure out how to put it back together?
2:47 First time seeing a Focus turned into a Cadillac.
2:56 An easy find for the technician.
3:04 "CCTV footage shows the ghost wheel rolling across the road and then smashing through the windows of a building in Prachuap Khiri Khan province, southern Thailand, on September 23. Staff were jolted from their seats as the heavy object shattered the glass and sent sharp shards scattering on the tiled floor. The shop owner said no employees were hurt as they were seated away from the windows. She said she planned to relocate the employees' workspace farther inside the building following the incident. Thailand has one of the world's worst road safety records. Ministers have set the goal of reducing fatalities from 32.7 deaths per 100,000 people to 12 per 100,000 people by the year 2027. However, a lack of road safety education in schools along with notoriously easy driving tests, police failures to enforce road laws, and chronic under-investment in infrastructure, all appear to hamper the efforts."

The weekend's always great when your mechanical body horror is there to kick it off! :)
_You have genuinely made me fearful of other vehicles, and probably made me a more alert driver._
When can we expect a JRI branded Fauxcus Mod in the store?
Love the videos I was right in the middle of watching this when my wife asked me to come out and listen to her car because the engine was knocking. She had hit a bump and popped a clamp on the air intake 2 second fix😊.
What's the process when a customer declines repair on an unsafe condition? Do you make them sign something re accepting responsibility or ???
Caddicus or focillac. Undecided 🤔
Saw a guy trying to lift a mercedes with the jack under the oil pan. Stopped him immediately. Showed him where the jack was supposed to go. He became enraged and yelled, "What are you, a mechanic?" To which I calmly replied, "Yes."
Good on you, even though I doubt you got much/any thanks.
Too many of these clips are the result of egotesticles* that ' think ' they can fix everything &/or all mechanics are crook$. Cameras don't lie, Bubba.
* like my nutsack slumlord who thinks he's a plumber:(
You can't fix stupid.
I'm sure he paid the tax on his shortly after 🤷♂️
Funny how he thought you had to be a mechanic to know basic things. That mercedes is probably in horrible condition now
Probably would have jacked up fine😂
For these people it’s always about ethos (authority) over logos (logic).
Did that first customer think they bought an amphibious car?
Pro Tip: Always attempt to drive through a lake during the test drive, never after you purchase it.
Did they confuse Subaru for Submarine? 😂

The 50 in Q50 means 50 meter water resistance, you know, like my watch.
The more I watch these, the more I'm convinced of the Four Horsemen of Just Rolled in:
1. "The customer declined repairs"
2. "Another shop"
3. "Customer did not change oil since getting the car"
4. "Customer does not know how to operate the AC/other basic features of the car"
Or the beginnings of JRI bingo!
How about "Random piece of garbage/unnecessary aftermarket plastic is causing stated problem."?
"Another shop" means "owner repair" in Just Rolled In language!
There's another channel called Plainly Difficult that covers mostly man made disasters. One of the most common signs things are about to go horribly wrong is "and then there was a shift change".
Apparently, whether it's a nuclear power plant or bridge construction, no one wants to tell the next guy what's going on.
The king of all ' the shop declined repairs '
So glad to hear the customer is paying for that engine in the first clip. I get sick of people getting off scott free for being morons. If being an idiot was more expensive we might not be in the shape we're in.
I agree
Ummm pretty sure if youre dumb already enough like this you dont even care or are aware of any expenses...
Yeah, warranty should be void if its the customers fault...always. Oh, you drove through deep water an hydro locked your engine, well....that will be 15k for a new engine lol
Insurance would cover it.
@@Inverter222 Depends. Many insurancies won´t cover it if the damage caused was easily avoidable by i.e. not drivin through deep water.
Destroying the engine within the first 100 miles is impressive, in a bad way.
My folks bought a brand-new VW bus in 1971, and the engine died - as in needed to be replaced - before it even went 200 miles; and I remember this because it stranded my family of 7 in Syracuse and the dealership only had a Bug as a courtesy car. But that was just top-quality VW engineering in 1971.
@@someinconsequentialusernam7799sir this 2023 .. this should not be happening
@@someinconsequentialusernam7799 as if it became any better since those days.
That's not the earliest I have heard. One I think was 19 miles
Haha we had a brand new 2023 Chevy Colorado roll off the delivery truck and blow up at 12 miles
Customer states : I'll save on expensive oil changes by replacing engine every 75 miles.
More like 20K - 30k+ miles which is around 2 - 4 years every engine replacement which cost at least 4K - 15K+ instead of $300ish per year if done at lube shop 4x in a year.
But I am just a random dumbass on the Internet trying to give out logical advice so strangers don't get fucked over to have experience scrap metal that you needed to rely on. I'll put my cents here and leave.
@@haaxxx9They're referencing the video, where they replaced their engine after 75 miles...
@@OceanBagel Saying this in general.
What Them Have real 💰
Every 75 miles to change the engine 😱🤔
Sounds Crazy
Where' do they' live 🤔
It’s hard to believe that some people are so stupid. How did they manage to get a drivers license in the first place?🤦♂️
Who drives their literal brand new car through deep water?
I like the suspense of the last one. You knew something was about to happen, but it took three clips to get there.
To answer your first question, someone with more money than brains……
@@DavidWsTrainVideos The human mind knows no limits.
@@DavidWsTrainVideos Probably just enough money for a down payment and a new engine
The kind of person why buys an Infinity Q50, of course.
i suspect they drove through the water and stalled and it sat there for a long time, i drove my fiero though water deep enough to go over the roof but only for 15 feet, i made it through and drove home no damage.
Can you believe some of these people own tools? Some shouldn't even own a lug wrench 😂
Yup got that right I’m pretty Mac inclined still my stuff goes to the shop
I'm perplexed at the one that tried to do the oil pan. They obviously judged themselves as having the tools AND the skills. I'm not a mechanic myself, so if I didn't know how to do something, I'd just take it to a professional instead of fumbling with silicone and duct tape.
Oh yes. Yes I can. Considering how *STUPID* the *average* person is today... absolutely.
I bet even MacGyver facepalms them 🤣
Or even a comb/nail clipper/hair dryer, etc.
That fauxcus was hilarious.
No weakness only wrenches.
Right? ;)
"Customer states, they have no idea what they're doing and probably shouldn't be operating a vehicle."
"Customer states; milkshake will not work when they blow into straw - please check and advise"
It's amazing and terrifying what these people even manage to drive to the shops
It's terrifying that they live amongst us & drive cars...😱
Customer declined all repairs.
Never has there been a more fitting "Just rolled in" example then that closing wheel one 😬
I swear there are some people you could tell "your vehicle is a literal death trap" and they'd still just decline like "ehh It'll be fine."
Just yikes all around driving around with people like this
land of the free!
It is a major failure of our society when people with such dangerous vehicles are allowed to drive them after being show how dangerous they really are. This stuff shouldn't be allowed. Very sad.
Kinda what happens when the mechanic charges 9-10x the actual cost of the repair.
I think one of the problems is that in missed if the USA, you're basically dependent on a car. If you don't have one, you're screwed. This then leads to two related issues - people drive cars that are way past their lifespan, and people drive cars without sufficient maintanence because they just have to.
While I - living in Europe - don't have to drive everywhere or can easily live without a car altogether.
@@mohyla91I agree with you on the part about driving vehicles pass their lifespan. I think it is terrible.
Okay, I have to admit...that's a pretty good body kit for a Ford Focus.
Imagine being so desperate to look like you have taste that shitty that you actually convert one piece of shit into another.
That ain't no focus thats a Ford ATS-V RS
my question remains ; "but why ?"
@@CaptainFalcon92 Should have been a Pontiac. Isn't that what the name implies?
@@MadScientist267 I understood that reference. Won't explain it to anybody else, though.
3:07 Your timing when saying "just rolled in" as the tire rolls across the yard is so perfect.
Who drives a brand new $45k car through deep water at speed?
Probably the same kind of idiot who thinks an unmatching aftermarket key fob cover will automatically press the right buttons.
James Bond perhaps?
Must be Was a kid driving Thru The Water 💦
Or . maybe The car 🚗 Was. Not His 😱
U know Ppl do silly things.
Not Sure who they trying to empress.

When tires get loose they gain both a conscious and a sense of humor
The Cadillac conversion was stellar!
yea i had to watch that twice, my brain refused to accept that as a focus.
It would be I'd it had wheels that fit properly
I guess you can call the person who did it a Cadillac converter.

“Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
-George Carlin
@@DD-mp9ok I miss him
Ok, I’ve been bugged about it since I first heard that quote, but finally I can put it into words: That’s not actually true mathematically. The median and the mean are not necessarily the same. For example, 1, 3, 3, and 4 averages to 2.75, but only one of those four values is less than that.
@@WilburJaywright Well.. think of IQ scores, averaging at 100.
A person with a 40 IQ is essentially a vegetable, we can't really test below that, nobody scores a zero. On the other side, there are plenty of people in the 160+ range, and there's no upper limit, so 200+ is possible.
One person with a 200 IQ would require one person with 0 to maintain that 100 average. Most people fall between 95 and 105. Realistically, for that one 200 IQ person, you'll have 100 people who score 99, which gets you a 100 average, with just one person above it, and 100 below it.
@@nuclearmedicineman6270 I… think you mean to agree with me, but I don’t know, lol. Your calculations made sense anyway.
THE GOAT of all "customer states" channels. Period.
I always watch these in total disbelief!
How people don't end up in accidents, injured, or killed, is beyond me.
They do though. US road tolls are horrendous. Some of it stems from stupidity and entitlement but largely the number of unrepaired vehicles on the roads of many countries, like the US, is a huge portion of car owners are working poor. People can barely afford rent and food, so it isn't surprising they can't afford vehicle repairs.
@@WhatIsSanityAfter watching this channel a while I looked up the stats, in the USA about 12% of accidents have a mechanical cause. It’s amazing it isn’t higher!
The US consistently ranks pretty low on road safety and accident rates. This is what happens when most people must have a car to get someplace, or a car centric infrastructure. You wind up with poor people driving vehicles that shouldn't be driving because they have no other option. We have no public transit infrastructure in this country, so people must drive. Add-on this insane car culture that exists in the United States and you wind up with really aggressive drivers as well. The United States also has a lot of very old drivers who have no other options as well, so we wind up with near-disabled people driving.
the US is really stupid when it comes to vehicles, basically.
Wild tires (and cargo) make for great entertainment. Please keep including those when possible please.
It is good to see some footage of the Express Tyre Company performing their high speed delivery. I mean the accuracy to get it through the front door and to stop near a desk is brilliant 👍
No time lost with the driver as well dealing with paperwork…onto the next delivery and back for lunch
Reminds me of the at B rated horror film called Rubber.
Well, it's not entertaining when a loose tire bounces over the freeway divider heading for you. Been there, done that. Fortunately I avoided it.
is there an epidemic of escaping tires? what causes these?
@@tsm688 Some people forget to tighten or even put on lug nuts after replacing a tire or rotating them. Driver is completely oblivious and somehow ignores the shakes of doom until it comes flying off while they're driving.
Every time I see these videos, I can't help but to be afraid that we have to share the road with these vehicles.
❤
and share the world with the people operating them and absolutely failing to maintain them. I enjoy the ones where its something bumping into a button every time they turn or what have you, because the driver has some stupid trinket hanging or like the gps device in this episode. How the hell can those people not notice this themselves? My radio is turning off every time this thing hits the button, what could possibly be causing it?!
NPC
I bet the car owner with the too short springs was trying to lower their car and wouldn't own up to it.
That actually sounds reasonable considering the cast of characters showcased here!
flying tire: that's heart attack material, right there!
Looked like that was in Thailand. The vehicles i have seen there with my own eyes would be enough material for a 'Just Rolled in' special 😀
"Hey boss. That tire you were expecting today just got delivered."
The smiling technician is literally me watching these videos
0:35 I love how happy the guy taking the video is, "those kids will love this lol"
Last clip gives "just rolled into the shop" a whole new meaning!
That cadillac focus was actually decently made from the outside lol. Honestly a breath of fresh air compared to what was before it.
No. It’s trashy AF. And whoever owns has no shame whatsoever.
@@HighlordFrancis you must be so much fun to be around... It looks fine, and if it brings the owner joy that's all that matters.
@@enjoyingend1939 the ultimate fake badging. It's fun. :)
Like adding a full set of Tesla badges to an obviously gasoline-driven Infinity, just taken a couple steps further :D
Yes but he could have had a fauxrrari instead.
Definitely better than the Pontiac Firefly I parked my Chevette beside in the late 90s that had Cadillac badges stuck on it...
Forget coffee! Nothing wakes us out of the afternoon slump like a tire through the window…
WAKE UP!!!😆😆🥳🙌🏻
the guy filming the gps/power issue was clearly having a very good time
Thanks for making me feel good about my automotive choices 😏
Did the tire on the last clip, "Just rolled in" ?
😂😂😂
Kool-aid style
Should used that clip at least once as the intro to this channel. That's money right there.
Gotta love the DIY mechanics who screw it up and end up having to pay a lot more to fix the bad job and do it right.
Or blame it on a friend
Happens aaaalll the time. They come in with their car on a hook and a box of parts.
they don't pay that much more, most of the cost to repair is labor costs so even if they fuck up every once in a while....they still profit from not having to pay insane labor prices for all the times they get it right.
"Another shop"....🤣😂🤣
@@rocksfire4390 I let the professionals do it. You find a shop with good prices and good mechanics. Most of these screw ups are done by people who do not have a clue on how to change the oil. I wonder how many of these inept DIY-ers would install their own pacemaker because of the high labour costs.
I will never, NEVER understand the “torque wrenches are for nerds!” mentality.
Thank you Just Rolled In for your videos. I love em. I retired after turning wrenches for over 40 yrs and can relate to all your content. Just about the time you think you've seen it all in comes another DIY that had no clue what he was doing. Nothing wrong with DIY. Knowing what to do when something goes wrong is the key. Keep up the great work!
These videos make me glad that for half of the year, when working, I get to be in a place where literally everything shown is illegal, and functionally none of it happens. Because if a car shows these signs, it isn't being released or touching the road without proof it was repaired and documented.
how can it be fixed if it's not released? that doesn't make sense, i sure as shit wouldn't get it fixed at the first place i go to because so many shops pull all kinds of insane price gouging practices but that isn't shown in these videos.
Yes - Sometimes I hate the TÜV here in Germany.
But haven seen what happens in America (or even deep parts of eastern europe) I am glad we have strict controls. Not only the inspection every two years, but also Police pulling out those cars if seen.
@rocksfire4390 he means they will not allow the customer to leave with an unsafe or not roadworthy vehicle, sometimes the shop can be held liable for allowing people to leave in a vehicle that should not be on the road.
@@rocksfire4390 it gets fixed by the first shop you bring it to or you can get it transported to another shop.
Either way it isn't driving itself (legally) again until after repairs have been done.
And if a shop does screw you over and you find out about it with some sort of proof and report it to the government they can close their shop for good and get gianormous fines.
@@rocksfire4390 As far as i know, you can get it released. If you turn up with a Tow-Truck, ideally with someone from another shop that you're going to get it fixed at, and are willing to sign a lot of papers. Also keep the number of the local police ready, you might need to call them to supervise the entire things, because the shop - if they don't belive you're going to keep to what you sign (fix everything before you even attempt to legally get the car back on the road) - can still refuse to release the car (unless the police says, relase it, which they can do).
Basically, if you go beyond a certain point, your wallet or convenience does not matter at all, keeping others safe from you and/or your car is. Which is why it is so difficult to make sure your wallet suffers less.
But price.gouging is also a lot less common here, due to high labor-rates making everything at every proper shop expensive enough, and controls making sure you're at the worst actually providing the services you bill your customers for (which means usually they ask you before they do anything).
Also, if you don't trust the shop not to try to scam you, how on earth do you trust their expetise? That makes no sense, a good shop is good all-round, and a bad one too (at least in my experience).
Watching Just Rolled In makes me want to stay off the streets with my car! "Customer declined repairs..." OMG!
Blows my mind at the DIY crap people do to their cars.
2:22 I love the arrow animation 😂 But also, it hurts my head that so many people can be so slow and dimwitted.
The ford / caddie was surprisingly well done.
Another shop=Customer
Or a neighborhood crackhead
That closing clip is an awesome opener for your channel!
Always be aware of runaway tire/wheels. It’s amazing how many people/vehicle owners are as bright as a burned out light bulb
Electrical tape and silicone to seal an oil pan. What could go wrong??? HA!
You forgot the "...and overtightened the bolts, w/ 3 missing" part. lol That's quite a bit of booboos for this customer
@@_viper2c_562 Let's give them some credit though, at least they put oil in the engine after that stellar repair.
@@squirrelsarepeopletoo6678 Probably the old oil...not too much credit. :)
The sheer joy on the mechanics face in the GPS turning off radio clip made my day
If you want a Cadillac.. you must focus.
That last clip was literally the epitome of "Just Rolled In"...lmao
The reflection of the technician’s grinning face in the GPS clip makes it even better. That guy is so happy and amused! He gets an easy fix and a clip to submit to JRI.
"Customer is now paying out of pocket for a new engine"
I should hope so!
That’s insane! Should have never bought a crappy Infiniti
0:32 Loving the grin he's got while laughing and showing what the "problem" is.
A Trailblazer with a loose control arm is gonna blaze some trails somewhere.
Mechanics should be able to call Vehicles Protection Services and report the owners for car abuse and neglect
Just rolled in friday upload= good weekend loading 🥳
That last clip. . . Literally rolled in. 🤣
That last clip brings a whole new meaning to "Just rolled in"
2:32 I hope someone had them sign a paper saying the customer declined repairs.
2:53 For a moment, I thought that was the son of the Batmobile
the smile on the mans face in the reflection of the second one brightened my day
Gotta give the tire credit, it made it in before closing time! It's amazing some people can figure out how a socket wrench works!😬👍👍
Traffic was backed up, tire said igotchu. I'll save ur reservation.
Literally Just Rolled In.
Stuff like this one really baffle me, like.. the solution is literally a bolt, and tighten the other one. At our shop we wouldn't even ask the custom for permission to do it. We would just repair it, JFC lol
yes just screw the damn bolt back in . you got it on the hoist. but then again if it's corporate they may not be allowed to do anything without quoting a price and getting approval. i wonder do they bring the customer on the floor to the car and show them or do they just tell them they need this and that?
I like how that tire Just Rolled In
My Milkshake oil brings all the mechanics to the yard! 0:07
For that A/C clip, before returning the vehicle to the customer I'd probably put the dial back to where it was originally, just left of center... or all the way to the right 😈
Your videos always leave me smiling. Thanks.
"Who smashed this window and left a truck tire in your office?"
"Another shop."
0:30 that mechanic looks so happy haha
I really want to know what happened to those that declined repairs on some of those serious issues
They go to every other shop in town to find out who will fix it for the least cost... and usually end up trying to fix it themselves anyway.
they probably didnt fix it because they can't afford it and kept driving the car to work because they have no other option. This is the united states, you absolutely must have a car to do anything and everything about owning a car is insanely expensive.
@@CRneu I agree with the first part... but owning a car doesn't have to be insanely expensive. First of all, if we weren't forced to pay for tags, taxes and insurance, it would help. Second, if it weren't for the govt. forcing car companies to make all of their cars meet ridiculous emissions standards, they wouldn't be so expensive and they could build more low cost, "entry level" cars. Third, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure... the cost of maintaining a car is usually far less than the cost of repairs. Fourth and most of all, it ain't what you drive, it's how you drive it. Poor driving habits cause more problems than wear and tear.
If ever you aren't 100% satisfied, please feel free to return the tire.
When cars attempt to communicate with owners..
That last clip is the perfect intro for this channel. 😉
Come on, you're making all this up with stunt doubles. LMAO The best comedy show on YT.
The Cadi-Focus at the end isn’t actually that bad.
That loose wheel at the end reminded me of an incident when a farm tractor trailer 5 cars in front of us lost one of its 15 inch rim wheels at 40 mph - it wrote off the nearest car, seriously damaged 3 others and hit the wing of my car only after I swerved to avoid it coming through the windscreen! The energy in that wheel was huge.
*loud crash*
"The fuck did that come from?!?"
"Dunno, it just rolled in."
Well that tire at the end did indeed just roll in.
The last clip showing the tire rolling into a shop window is why Crete Carrier now requires techs to torque lugnut whenever the install tires on a vehicle.
torquing the lug nuts is already always a part of installing tires
@@misseselise3864 Not necessarily... but most shops do insist that their techs always torque lug nuts.
@@livewire2759 If you don't torque the lug nuts its not installed because nothing is holding it on the hub.
The old saying goes, you can't fix stupid but duct tape will muffle the sound.....
Dam, luckily no one was at that desk when that tire pulled a family guy coolaid "OH YEAH" after 5 peoples on the road said "Oh no!"
If I was an attorney or something and I found out that a mechanic left a car out to the road with missing trailing arm bolts or missing brake calipers, I'd make sure that the place closes forever.
Good thing you're not an attorney...
1. It's not a crime to be poor. You can't force people to spend money they don't have.
2. Mechanics/repair shops have no right to lock up other people's cars/personal property... that's theft.
When customer declines repairs they must sign a waiver releasing shop from all liability..pretty standard.
@@livewire2759 In well working and safe countries here's how it goes:
- You are strictly forbidden to drive a mechanically dangerous car in traffic. If the police catches you, what you'll get is a huge fine (often times more than the banger's actual worth) and a tightened safety inspection, if you ever want your car to be usable again. Not to mention that if you cause an accident with an unsafe car, and somebody gets seriously hurt or even dies, you'll spend years in prison for that.
Owning and maintaining a car is not cheap. If you are poor, then don't have a car, it's as simple as that.
- Mechanics are obliged to report potential dangerous cars to the traffic authority (like M.O.T.). After the report the owner gets a notification to bring the car for a safety inspection. If it fails, they revoke the "road using permission" for that vehicle.
If a mechanically unsafe car gets into an accident, and they find out that the car was in your shop some days/weeks before (and you didn't report it), that's basically the end of your career as a mechanic.
- More strict? Yes? Less people die on the roads? Also yes.
bro really bought a lemon
You wonder how the world became the global idiocracy that it is. Then you see real, living, breathing, voting adult human car owners who don't understand the concept of "red" and "blue" on an A/C knob. Honestly scary.
Yep Morons
we defunded schools and made people memorize information instead of investing in STEM courses.
They don’t want anything to do with the evil blue side!!
Customer won’t tell which shop worked on there vehicle because it was likely themselves that worked on there own vehicle. Lol
The car being "Out of temp" got me. I can just imagine the convo: "Honey, my car is out of temp, I'm going to get it refilled." 🤣
Control arm bolt is missing and other one is about to fall out………”nah can’t afford it, I’ll be fine”.
I’d love to know if the US had mandatory safety inspections across the country every year how many cars would fail in 1st year?
Around 80 to 90% and 75% of the ones that pass would be iffy
In the states that do have mandatory safety inspections they just take it to a local shop that will pass anything for a fee. The shop that does my emissions testing just plugs the OBD in and mashes space bar on the computer until it prints out the report.
@@ryanespinoza7297Where have you done this? I know that at least in Massachusetts and California, inspection stations are themselves inspected. A shop found committing fraud as you describe would lose their license. The shops I've been to are absolutely by the book.
There are ways that car owners can "improve" their chance of passing, like clearing DTC engine codes just before, and warming up the vehicle extra well, but that's the owner taking risks on their own, not a shop risking their livelihood to save someone else a few bucks.
@@j_taylor that whole clear the DTC and warm it up doesn't work anymore bc the IM monitors are not ready for testing so the car will 100% fail. Which means you will have to go back in about 50-100 miles to try again. But at that point the check engine is like sup boi I am back. And I know here in PA it cost $450 just to get the exemption for the emissions
The amount of people that decline repairs is crazy, especially for the crap in these videos.
Yeah, the one with barely a single control arm bolt holding it together shouldn't have been given the choice.
They're gonna take it home, have a buddy work on it, and then show up in a future video.
because they don't have the money. They can't get the repairs if they don't have funds. This is why the majority of these people have cars like this. In the United States we have a culture that perpetuates these issues. People are poor but must have a car because we don't have functional public transit in most of the country. This means people have to own a vehicle they can't really afford which leads to the vehicle being in a poor state of maintenance.
Like 2/3rds of the issues in these videos are caused by the elderly and poor people who are just trying to get by.
Someone with true autobody talent Focus-ed on that Cadillac.
3:07; Looks almost as if Discount Tire decided to bring back their old commercial.
That last scene should have had a Dicount Tire sign photoshopped onto the business. Would have been hilarious! Unhappy customer returned the tire from the roadway! 😂
another shop is code for I did it myself
Whenever I doubt my mechanical abilities after graduating from UA-cam University I just turn one of these videos on and feel better about myself.
I live by the quote "There's 2 ways to do a job: The fast way and the right way."
I prefer the matrix approach. "Fast. Cheap. Good. Pick Two."
Day before Thanksgiving, customer comes in wanting a Oil Change on her vehicle.
Service Advisor see that the vehicle has a pending update (Rapid Service Update, not exactly a recall, but we should fix it as it was a error from the factory, vehicles are not called in for these)
She apparently flipped, and stated that we were full of it as her radio updates the car all the time.
So when the oil techs came to get her car 10 minutes after it arrived, she wasn't ready for us to take it.
She also wanted free stuff to make it up to her. She said that when her vehicle comes in, it's always some extra thing that needs work that always cost her more.
Yeah, she ended up leaving, stating that she was going to another shop.
Another unnamed shop is more often than not just the customer not wanting to admit they tried and failed to fix it themselves.
When the customer won't say who the "other shop" is - it's the customer. Or some friend or relation who is "real good with cars."
That last clip just rolled in.
The 'Key fob' is hilarious. Keep'em coming.
Customer that sucked in water in the intake can claim that on their auto insurance as an accident and get the engine paid for.
They tried but they said no from what I was told.
@@JustRolledIninteresting
@@JustRolledIn 🤣 that's gotta hurt
@@robertheinkel6225 maybe since they only had it 1 day?
@@JustRolledInwell that sucks, probably the 7 day rule that some states have.
"Hmm I can totally do that myself..." no, you can't. Pay people who can.
I WANT THAT FORD FOCUS CADDY 😂😂😂
Great Video!
