I am looking forward, but also slightly scared, to see what 2024 brings in the way of “Customer states”…
If I don’t manage to comment in the next week, have a good Christmas with your family and enjoy a rest if you get a chance 👍👍
🎄🎁❄️⛄️
@@smilerbob thank you my friend! Hope you have a great Christmas with your family as well 👍
Have a Merry Christmas, JRI. ❤🥂
Let's pray "customer" asks Santa for a brain for Christmas. 😉
Good jobb, love this 🎉
I got scared about the fact that there is a lot of brainless drivers. IQ test should be required for driver license approval
"Customer declined repairs and drove away" scariest phrase as a fellow road-user
Thats what left me baffled!
Never changing the oil. had a boss who did that to an 88 toy truck.
Pennywise ound foolish
I must be stupid? When the fix it shop calls me the 2nd time about some repair I just tell them to fix what ever is needed and call when done. I trust my fix it shop. My guess the people that drove away don't have and can't barrow the money to fix it. Because they spent their money on booze , drugs and sex. Because I am a farmer they don't have a pound of beef in the freezer either.
As a Dane in Europe, it scares me and makes me angry that people in the US can just drive away from the workshop in a car that is not safe or suitable for driving on public roads. There are no regulations in the United States. I am sure that such irresponsible people have probably caused some accidents, and then with sweet results. In Europe, and especially in Denmark, where I live, it is illegal to drive on the road if your car is not in a working condition. So if a customer wouldn't have made anything At this workshop, it is therefore their choice, but they were not allowed to leave in a car that is not safe on the road, and the workshop would try to stop them or call the police. The only thing that is legal is to pay a transport/own on a tow truck or an auto trailer to another workshop, home or scrapyard. If you drive a car in Denmark that you know is not in order or have been in an accident and drive anyway, the police can fine you in dangerous cases Confiscé your car, and by that I mean they take cars and either sell it and the money goes to the state or the car gets scrapped. However, in some countries in Europe, we have given cars that have been confiscated to Ukraine. In many countries in Europe, the state can also confiscate your car if you wild and endanger the lives of others called madness driving, driving with a blood alcohol level over 2.0 allowed is between 0.5-0.8, driving drunk three times in a row if you drive over 200 kmh and if you are caught driving Without a driver's license and insurance the first time it happens, the police will take your license plates. All this has made driving in Denmark and Europe very safe. In 2022, only 154 people were killed in traffic in Denmark with a population of 6.8 million inhabitants, that is one death of 44.156 inhabitants. In the United States, this number is a death of 8,209, so U.S. roads are almost 5.5 times as dangerous as in Denmark, you can do better. Speaking for the whole of Europe is a death of 23,723 so 3 times better in the US and there are 446 million living in Europe.
The shop I worked at we weren't allowed to let vehicles leave in an unsafe condition, we had so many customers call the police on us only for the police to side with us after seeing the deathtrap they drove in.
You think we choose to drive these shitboxes lmfao. we can't afford a $5000 bill
Every time I'm depressed about my stupidity and lack of common sense, these videos always make me feel more confident.
If you're worried about being stupid and lacking common sense you have more of those than you think. Some of these drivers make a box of rocks look like Mensa material.
Remember no matter how low you set the bar for Stupidity there will always be someone who goes lower.
Moreover, those people are probably happier than you.
If you end up depressed because you feel stupid you gotta get some help dude that ain’t right
If common sense was common it wouldn't be called common sense.
It never gets old when people turn the inside of their engine into a jello mould by thinking "oil is oil".
But everyone is cognitively dissonant about eating food deep fried in them.
@@LulaJake Food deep fried in them would be a good bit healthier than food deep fried in engine oil, trust me on this one.
EDIT: Actually, just to make sure, do you have an issue with the idea of fatty food, of deep-fried food, or of food deep fried in seed oil specifically?
I once tried to help a middle aged woman with car troubles at a gasoline station. She had the hood up so I started checking out all the fluids and her car had no oil on the dip stick so I told her and she said she had just added oil. Then she proceeded to grab a quart of oil from her car and sprinkle it all over her engine bay as if she was watering her grass... I said good luck and walked away
Im glad i know im not this stupid.
If it's an Italian make you should use a 50/50 mix of oil and vinegar.
Bro ground his exhaust down to a cross-section and was like "nah i'm good." XD
Saw a car like this in the shop the other day 🙄 dude doesn’t wanna raise his car since he’s “winning the competition” with his buddies on “whose car is the lowest”. Dumb af in my opinion
@@codymenekeyea there's a reason cars don't go that low 🤦♀️
Imagine how many speed bumps he's gotten stuck on lol.
"Oh yeah, those ball joints are old" ------- "Oh fuck"
Has me dying
The casual "We'll need an upper ball joint, too" from the mechanic gets me every time 🤣
Thanks for this comment because i understod something along the lines of "cant understand" "check what hapent" "the ball joint is still whole" "How the fuck"
0:30 oh thata a f###### stick
whale....
@@civp1351 I believe it was actually "yeah" "it just fell off" "motherfucker"
"load bearing coconut" pretty well describes a lot of these customers' heads
"What were you thinking?? Ya load-bearing coconut" sounds pretty funny to me haha
Hahahaha. Perfect comment
That's if the Coconut is bearing any load.
It feels like a lot of them cracked, leaked, and rotted a long time ago. They need to go get a new Coconut.
... something about the load-carrying capacity of an African swallow vis-a-vis coconuts...
Like the tf2 coconut which prevents the game from crashing (though in reality it’s the cardboard cutout of a cow which holds the game together)
I'm willing to bet that every story ending with "The customer declined repairs and drove away" involved the phrase "I KNOW MY CAR!"
usually preceding or followed by "You're just trying to rip me off"
"I know my car"
then why are you asking me for help?
Sometimes it's because they physically do not have the money to fix it even though they would like to and unfortunately have no option but to decline repairs and drive away. However, many of them are most definitely just stubborn jackasses and think that they know better than the mechanic, which is very likely how they ended up in the situation they are in to begin with.
Living in Germany, most of these really make me appreciate TüV - a regular mandatory inspection of the car.
Same in the UK with our MoT. And the recent change that if they a really bad, you can't drive it away
@@MarkUKInsects Italy here, same for us. IIRC for minor defects (lights, gas emissions etc.) you are simply rescheduled in a couple of days/weeks, while for dangerous problems (with brakes, suspensions, wheels, steering) you will have your car towed straight away to a repair shop and not allowed to be on the roads until passing a clean test
@@MC202zipper Same in all Europe. Well better say, all EU type Europe.
In fact one can even make the "inspection" on another EU country and it's 100% legal.
So a person doesn't mind wasting money on a Lamborghini, but heaven forbid they spend money to have electronics hooked up correctly and professionally.
that is a miser millionaire!!!!
Being poor is a state of mind. No matter how much money they have, they will always be poor.
@@chrisflores4788no, actually being poor is a material condition
@@chrisflores4788 It's probably some fake rich loser / influencer that can barely make the payment.
I've noticed that some of the most stingy customers at my dad's computer shop were wealthy people. I recall a wealthy woman bragging about her $800,000 home and then recoiling in horror when I mentioned the repair rates. (Although we did have one wealthy guy who didn't care about the prices, so we unofficially gave him extra warranty.)
On the flipside, I found it was fellow small business/self-employed people who didn't quibble over the prices since they understood the challenges we faced. I miss those days of Windows XP and being more optimistic about the world.
Strapping a harmonica to someone's bumper is pure genius. I Haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Thank you pranker!
Rubber chicken or pocket pussy on the exhaust is also another classic, well as just basic whistle
I'm guessing it was either a prank or a previous owner using it as an animal whistle to scare animals up ahead on the road out of the way. Which I couldn't possibly imagine why someone would use a harmonica as they sell animal whistles in any auto parts store for like $5😂
Hahaha, I just wanted to comment on this. I had a very good laugh and I will steal that idea. It's just brilliant 🤣
My next prank lmao
I am off to the thrift store next, I have got several people in mind ... OMFG I am still laughing.
"load bearing coconut"
Not a sentence I ever expected to hear.
Came here to reminisce about the load-bearing coconut. Thanks for the company!
it's Team Fortress 2 all over again
@@Im_nowhere_near_my_limitit's disgusting coconut reddit stories all over again
My father was a mechanic. When I was a kid he made me sit and watch him repair our cars so I would know how when I grew up. I am so thankful that he took the time to teach me.
In my case not with cars, but certainly DIY and fixing things up. How many young people now have any idea of how to do stuff? It's sad, they've really been dumbed down!
As a DIY guy who does all he can on his own vehicles, oftentimes feeling like an idiot, these clips make me feel much better about myself.
Haha foreal self doubting like "should i have greased the guide pins more" then you see someone driving with out them even on the breaks.
…Removed the pine cone and fixed the issue. That’s something I never thought I’d hear, even on this channel! 😂😂😂
I was just thinking the same thing I've had to fix my Honda four times in the last month but I've saved $1,000 or more. Sometimes I feel dumb when I can't figure something out, at least I'm smart enough not to use duct tape and foam
@@carpo719 Yeah doing your self can save thousands, but then again if you dont bother learning what not to do you might end up paying thousands. If you hear noise somewhere, clean the car properly, read the manual, check the fluids and then try again. Then again one must remember average IQ is 100 points... statistically 50% of the world is dumber than that...That is lots and lots of dumb.
Also dont dizz the foam! It was the fundamental building block to keep this old mercedes utter rust bucket together in across the country trip in one adventure and crazy owner ever drove it trough 3 countries after that, witch was god damn miracle. I'm rather proud of that jerry rig job. I mean the strut tower was worse than one on the video and couple of the rusted out vehicles seen. All it took was couple nailing plates, pop rivets, urethane foam laminated with news papers and lots of praying was only thing holding that thing together and after that it would have probably floated. Yeah dont worry its not in scrapper. I kinda feel bad, would have liked to restore the old monster later years, but ou well too late for that now.
Dude SAME. I watched this and was like “I guess I’m not as bad as I thought” haha
This channel needs to be shown to all mechanical amd collision schools.
Needs to be shown in normal schools so kids know the value of taking care of their cars
Needs to be shown to wherever service advisors get their cereal box education so it doesnt come in the shop at all
As a student at one It is don’t worry
@@klondike9445 nice I didn't have all this when I was going to school for collision work. UA-cam didn't even exist.
It should be required by law for a customer to view this before they can buy a vehicle... any vehicle.
20:41 patching the battery with a lottery ticket has to be the most hilarious thing ive seen in my life
Mind you that "lottery" is the key word! LOL 😂 😂
*Wheel completely out of alignment and dragging on the road*
Driver: "This is fine."
I'm a mechanic in germany
So happy to have to never see these atrosities in my life. to me the worst part will always be that these customers can drive away with nothing really preventing them. this is honestly scary
For all the frustration the TÜV can cause sometimes, Its a blessing for not having cars like these on the road with us.
Also, that car mechanic is a protected trade helps as well
Maybe it’s just in America 🤷🏻♂️🤣🤣
100% agree. I can't believe that people are allowed to drive some of these.
Yeah. Here, in the UK, we have our cars inspected once a year and it's a very, very thorough inspection without which you aren't allowed to even keep the car parked on a public road, and if you drive around without a valid certificate, you will get your number plate picked up by cameras, caught, and the vehicle seized. These must be US only. Scary. The land of the free yeah? Free to kill others...
@@johnwebber4885 I'm pretty sure that's the case.
The harmonica to the grill is legendary 😂
I'm gonna have to try that on a friend some time lol...
literally scrolled down to make sure this was seen - glad I wasn't disappointed :D
Zip tie on the drive shaft is also a golden oldie.
Got to admit, that's a pretty good prank.
I'll be doing this as soon as I can grab a case of harmonicas. 😅
I feel like the guy with the truck-ception painted on the gate is probably an absolute riot at parties.
I imagine every conversation that guy has, he mentions how cool his truck is.
Remember y'all, these people are on the road with everyone...... With you, your parents, spouse, and children......... Just let that sink in and stay safe.
When I retire, I want to conjure up the dumbest issues like these and give the shops around town something to laugh about.
Don’t forget to decline all the repairs!
@@nodsib ,LOL
You must have a hell of a retirement plan, considering diagnostic fees.
But it's the same car you keep bringing back with all the previous issues gone but new issues magically occurring.
“Customer states cup holder only works with styrofoam”
I'm a retired auto technician, and I NEVER get tired of watching these! I think I met every one of these customers in my 40 year career. 😂😂😂
And just think, they not only operate motor vehicles on public roads, they breed and vote! 🤨
Came here to join in on the fear of knowing these same people are allowed to reproduce and vote publicly. 🙃
i met them all in about 7 years, the dumbest was we did a free valet clean with a service, i threw out so much rubbish from one car, including like 40 empty soft drinnk bottles.. The customer went beserk because quote "they stole my lucky bottle"". None of them were anything but used trash, not store bought or anything haha assholes
They breed and vote THAT explains ALOT…I can’t get over wire ties on the caliper…Someone actually did that…
I mean... some of these nutters need their licenses revoked for life!
I´m from Germany and i cant believe the Things i see.. We have to do a inspection of the Car every two years, or else it you arent allowed to drive it anymore. And these guys check everything (even customizations have to have a certain standard). 95% of these Cars wouldnt even get out of a Repair Shop because someone called the cops.
The person who zip tied the harmonica to the front grill sounds like someone who is both a delight and nightmare to know 😆
23:44 That is BRILLIANT! Who ever played that prank is getting a good laugh lol.
When you hear, "A Friend" or "Another mechanic" all this means is the owner did it themselves and are too ashamed to admit it. They realize their own stupidity.
The majority of the time yes but not always
Or a son inlaw
Wait, how do you know that?
Except the case where the client did the exact same mistake twice. Some learn only the hard way, some.. well, never.
I still love "i think its gonna need new ball joints"
"yeah, they're pretty old"
*turns around*
"what the fu-"
the goat was just checking the quality of work 😁
So many WOWS when seeing these videos. Amazing what people think they can do.
I love how this ranges from "They put the rear differential upside-down" to "hair clip making scratching noise" and everything in between.
"Pinecone activates climate control menu" was honestly impressive.
@@szalkow Just remember that people like this are somehow allowed to drive on public roads
@@szalkowit's an older touchscreen that works on pressure and bot capacitance (like your phone)
Thus pressure from any source can trigger it :)
To on this truck theres a picture of a truck and on that truck...
@@szalkowthe pinecones want you to turn off your AC!!
I'm sorry but can we talk about how beautiful the tailgate painting of the truck with a tailgate painting of a truck with tailgate painting of a truck is honestly pretty amazing.

Love this channel as well as torque test, keep up the great work!
Customer states he has a fuel leak from the rear differential
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA
I love the "another shop" did this. Just own up to it, I took my car to a mechanic and just flat told him I tried to do the repair but it ended up being too much for me. We had a good chuckle, and he showed me where I went wrong after he fixed it. If you bite off more than you can chew, learn from it.
It's not stupid if you learn.
COWARDS!!!!
My brother legit bought a car and had the dealer he bought it from do repairs immediately. They DENTED the oil pan and the car smelled of cigarettes and alcohol when he got it back, running worse than before
Funny though: It might be possible that the mechanic showed you where you failed and helped you learn a bit more BECAUSE you flat out told him you tried yourself and borked the job. This small little thing probably earned you his respect. Maybe a good though for quite some people whose cars appear in these videos ...
A plumber is hired to unclog a customer's sink. When they arrive, they find 50 individual pipe fittings of all different materials, sizes, and shapes connecting the sink drain to the plumbing. There are three separate paths for water to flow through, one of which leads to a dead end. The faucet is a random copper pipe with the end crimped, and holes drilled through it to let water out. They have welded a wrench to the cold water tap since the original handle broke off. The garbage disposal (the cause of the clog) is actually a blender motor shoved onto the bottom of a metal coffee can with the edges glued to the motor body to prevent leaks, and a pvc pipe drains it to a separate drain. The customer put plastic wrappers down it to get rid of them, thus causing the clog. The plumber refuses to do any repairs and blacklists the customer, and the customer continues using the monster of a sink while calling a different plumber. They go through 4 different plumbers before finally giving up and ripping it all out to install a new sink themselves, but they end up damaging the plumbing in the walls and have to hire someone to replace it, and install another new sink.
This is the energy these videos have.
So... Crackhouse energy. Yep, I think most of these are people who live in that type of house...😐
"The faucet is a random copper pipe with the end crimped, and holes drilled through it to let water out." I imagined it being bent crooked in random places too, like it was used for other things first.
@@jasonsummit1885 Also a result of the Dunning-Krueger effect. Unintelligent people will usually overestimate their intelligence not being smart enough to even realize how much they don't know whereas intelligent people underestimate their intelligence and if we don't know how to do something will not attempt it until learning how to do it right or having a professional do it. I'm sure lack of money is also a factor in so many of these especially declining repairs.
Ah yes As an Electrician the amount of times i had a Service call someone saying this light won't turn on and it ends up just me flipping a breaker and it works again or i have to fix something the homeowner thought he could do himself and botch it up completely it is endless. in Vancouver BC new builds have something called a Master switch that is designed to turn off all the lights in the home and if the Master switch is off you can't turn any lights back on. had quite a few calls about that as of late. Just to explain to the Customer that the Master Switch has to be on before they can turn on any lights.
You finished rambling, Wikipedia?
"load bearing coconut"... that's just brilliant. :)
That harmonica prank is actually pretty damn funny 😂😂!
I love the harmonica in the grill prank. Side note, pranks are only pranks if they are funny to all and harmless.
I was driving from Florida to Indiana with wife and daughter one summer. Well traffic was flowing at normal speed, maybe a little faster on I 17 North. Then noticed cars in front of me slowing down as they came up on a car in the right lane. They would stay beside it for a few seconds then resume their prior speed and finish the pass.
I started to wonder what was up, then I got up to the left rear of the car and saw it. Someone had taken a rubber dildo that was about 10 inches long and tied it to the underneath of the car. When the car hit a bump, the dildo fell out and was waving and bouncing around but never hitting the ground. LOL
That was funny. Lmao
Cable tie around the prop shaft is another.
@@BTW...Cowbell zip tied to frame is good too...
I had to pause the video to finish laughing! 😂😂😂
The fact that these vehicles are on the road with us, our family and friends should be a concern to everybody. Stay safe, stay aware and have Merry Christmas yawl.
Everytime I watch these videos, I’m happy not to live in North America.
Yep only in America and other third world countries 😮
This is why in most countries a mandatory yearly inspection is required by law.
For every vehicle on the road with a rusted out frame or with only one lug nut holding on the wheel, there are ten in perfectly good shape being driven by someone who’s impaired, or texting, or just not paying attention.
Edit: I’m not even exaggerating that much… according to the stats I could find, in the USA only 12% of accidents have a mechanical cause.
@@jjvdk90 this is not just an issue in North America.
The harmonica in the grill is a genius level troll idea.
That transmission/differential that got literally snapped into pieces was honestly kind of impressive haha. I've seen a camshaft on a Porche 911 do that, but not an entire housing like that
I was mostly mouth agape just baffled at how people achieve these feats the entire time, but the last one made me smile. Just painted tailgates all the way down.
The sheer volume of idiocy is mind blowing 😂
They should have the licence taken and never be alowed to drive a car again....
Backwards evalution.
It's coming. John Cena for President 2024!!!!!!
the crazy part is we live in a world where you can look up any dumb question on the internet yet someone still thought it was a good idea to put vegetable oil in their car
😂😂😂😂😂Thanks for brightening our day!!!
24:02 Who tf has a Lamborghini and lets their neighbour change the radio because it's cheaper?
Someone who spent ALL their money on the Lamborghini ?
I have a confession to make. So last summer I crashed my car, it was pretty much just cosmetic damage, but I did have to replace the passenger side door. My driver side window already didn’t work (honestly just too lazy to fix it lol), and when I got the passenger door, the window on that one didn’t work either, so I was stuck with no windows being able to open or close. Drove around all summer baking in the heat. At the end of the summer, I finally realized I had the window lock on. Low and behold, the passenger window works now! I’ve practically rebuilt the whole engine and suspension on this car, I know it inside and out, and this really made me think “holy shit if this isn’t a ‘customer states’” moment lmao. Never felt dumber in my life
Can happen to the best of us, especially if you accidentally hit the switch, so don't think to try it.
try changing the belts, tensioners, oil seals, front of a ford focus 2.0tdci.. & time it.. enjoy..
That's okay, I was one of those who neglected oil changes and ruined a perfectly good Windsor. Now I maintain my cars religiously 🤷
At least you have the balls to admit it. Lmao. But dude.... WHAT THE FU-
In all seriousness. You think thats bad? Three years ago I had parked my truck on a hill, and had my emergency brake on, I'm with my girlfriend, and we go to leave. I'm driving and there's smoke coming out of the back. I park my truck onto the side of the road. Call the fucking FIRE DEPARTMENT for a vehicle on fire, and wait. An hour and a half later, they show up and inspect the car, and realize I had left the parking brake on.. The look of disappointment in their eyes I'll never forget.. Fast forward now, I work at Firestone as a maintainance technician and look for problems like these! 🤣
23:40 Did this to a buddy once. It was weeks before he realized and it drove him nuts! One of my prouder moments😊
i gotta buy a harmonica now
or a few
I hadn’t thought of this. I’m going to buy some.
It's a good variation of the bike inner tube on the exhaust pipe trick! I'll have to remember it.

Today I replaced the wheel bearings on my car. I felt dumb needing a UA-cam video to show me the way, but now I feel like a full mechanic by comparison 😂
8:11 “gonna need an upper ball joint too”
I’m dying 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Load bearing coconut" has to be the funniest, most unexpected technical description of a vehicles condition I've heard in a while. Keep up the great content!
The 'oil leak' caused by the canister with the tilted lid was'nt bad too
I was just gonna comment this. Load bearing coconut is great
I work as a maintenance mechanic at a factory with machines that several people operate at different stations. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be with machinery. 90% of the calls I go on are because of the people working on the manufacturing line. Some people should only be shelf stockers at the dollar store, because they have zero critical thinking skills. These clips just go to show that we really need to make getting a drivers license alot tougher to keep these block heads off the roads.
You are 100% right with the shelf stockers..... 👍
If we improve public transit enough we probably could get away with making the requirements for a license more strict.
Or new rules making it so people need to sign a waiver if they decline critical repairs
I’m a maintenance mechanic Myself and I totally agree with you. It’s just like people are getting stupider and stupider.
EXCUSE you, us shelf stockers don't want to be lumped in with those dipshits! You'd be surprised how much some of us actually have to use our heads (and how many of them patently *refuse to,* leaving the rest of us to clean up after their screw-ups)!
27:40 tf2 code be like
13:35 This gel like thing happens if you mix incompatible lubricants together. I don't know the exact details but had many cases like this while working in the service department of a gearbox manufacturer.
8:05 is probably my favorite one. Truck is up on the lift, not doing much of anything, and the ball joint just... completely gives up.
Had something similar happen to me, but it was a busted rear leaf spring...couldn't even tell it was broken. I put the car up in the air, replaced wheel bearings and seals, and brakes, and was ready to put it back on the ground when I saw the drivers' side part of the axle drop a little. Looked at it and found the main leaf was busted right where it attached to the rear shackle, and it had been that way for a while. Didn't have a replacement so I drove it like that for a week with no issue 'til the new one arrived.
Holy f**k!
Really lucky it was on a lift and not the interstate.
there's a lot of ball joints held in by compression alone; unsupported on a lift may be the cause after all
The amount of "shops" that "can't figure out" a ton of repairs astonishes me.
its all about people with no qualifications and or experience which america dont care about as cars are cheap
I have to wonder how many of them are just the vehicle owner trying to do it themselves and being too embarrassed to admit it
@@perkypearsthat’s why shops is in quotations marks in OP’s comment. He is saying that it is the owner pretending that another shop did it.
some shops wont touch riskier jobs because if a 2nd party shops finds that the First shop is at fault for fucking up, its on the first shops's wallet to repair all damage.
i work at a local mechanic shop and theres another shop down the block and they bring us customer cars from THEIR shop over to OUR shop when they cant figure it out.
lol I love the “load bearing coconut”
Thats a heluva paintjob on that tailgate
Now i totally understand the importance of mandated vehicle inspections 😊
FR. Germany's mandated inspections every two years looks quite sensible when all this madness is the alternative.
And most of these vehicles would fail the compulsory annual UK MOT inspection for vehicles 3 years old and over. They would have to be repaired properly or scrapped
@@fmobusas someone who lives in Germany it’s actually hell. Everything that is done to the vehicle has to be reported to TÜV (our version of the DMV). On top of that it drives the used car prices up like crazy and makes used cars almost unaffordable now.
@@Supershowsunnias someone who lives in Germany I rather pay the extra money and having to do all the paperwork if that means that I don’t see monstrosities like these on the road. Imagine someone like this with e.g. brakes falling apart driving into you at full speed because of failure of the brakes…
@@kxrstx.n8080 not shocked the German loves the idea of paying the government money and filling out paperwork to chance a bolt on your car. Because god forbid you have to witness someone not doing routine maintenance inspections. That might just break your little German Heart
At this point you could make a compilation of all the "vehicle won't start" pan over to empty fuel gauge
Oh yea. That would be a long video lol
@@JustRolledIn I'd watch that.
Me too @@recklesssquirel5962
One of just "foreign object blocks/activates controls"
@@JustRolledIn I wouldn't bother, myself. Though you could say under one example video just how many times that same type of clip was sent to you in one year.
I'm noticing a lot of these look like revenge from an ex or a pissed off neighbor. The harmonica zip tide to the grill, priceless.
Hahah the harmonica zip tied to the front of a car is a good one lmao
That zip tied harmonica trick is one I'll definitely be trying out. Hilarious!
It was the best clip :D
Might I also recommend long zip ties around the drive line?
@richbates489 Oh yeah, that's a good one! Used it many times! Someone used to roll Rhodes frozen bread dough balls into tailpipes of people "they" disliked too!
out here in the country some folks actually do that on purpose to try and alert deer and other things, especially at night. can't say it works, but it can't hurt, eh?
Deer deterrent
Oil leaks from oil bottles inside the car get me every time
At least the customer didn't ignore an apparent leak, even though it turned out to not to be a real problem.
At least it was full synthetic!
My old roommates younger brother was convinced one of our work trucks had a tranny leak. Red liquid under the truck. I went under to check and it was fruit punch from someone's thermos from the day before.
I always say i know nothing about cars. Then i see these videos and realise im actualy an expert
I really admire some of these mechanics' abilities to diagnose certain issues. It's unbelievable what people can do to a car...
“The customer declined all repairs”
Famous last words
In Germany and pretty much all of Europe that would be a call to local police for a quick visit if someone would want to leave in a clearly unsafe car. Sure there are older cars that can have several issues at once between the mandatory inspections to be able to even drive it on the road.. But those usually end up getting scrapped because they can't afford to fix them..
At least it's nearly impossible to even get remotely this close to the horrifying examples on the channel.
@@JurrevanHerwijnen Yes, I would be calling the cops on some of these people as they drove away.
Desperate people, man. Desperate people living paycheck to paycheck.
A lot of these cars are so underappreciated. So many people take cars for granted and just always expect them to work despite doing everything in their power to ruin it.
i totally agree with you, totally different topic but every once and a while ill see a video of some brazilian dudes literally destorying epxensive motorcycles by holding the throttle wide open in neutral and destroying the engine. makes me so angry and annyoed
So nice of all these customers to leave little snacks for the hard working mechanics.
some of these are unbelievable. insane
Throwing the car into reverse at 70mph
Bro didn't wanna admit he let his intrusive thoughts win
That transition from 9:00 to like 9:20 is hilarious. Goes from a customer's cute baby goat to a video of a truck absolutely ruined by goats 😂
That harmonica.....
*Evil laughter*
It amazes me how incurious people are. Move your keychain!
Each video shows me some new level of what, why, and how TF... but that fluid reroute through the battery blew my mind even more than even the unsafe "repairs" or insane wiring.
Okay, that ziptied Harmonica had me laughing for much longer than it should've.
1:30 Shop: "bring car up to standard height." Customer: "that's okay I'll just wait till it explodes"
Everybody's so creative!
The guy driving the van with the rear tire sideways and then drove away the same way had me dying
Not just a Russian thing.
It Boggles my mind to see how little troubleshooting ability some people have.
Or little to no basic observation capability.
And to not forget: These are only the cars that actually make it to a shop.
I bet you there are cars that go straight to the scrap because the tank is empty. Or cars get totaled because "car brakes don't work" (later found out, customer used wrong pedal). Or only brakes with hand-brake.
people are too busy with there life.. or dont have a computer, or dont give a sht, or not have any gray matter..
Imagine that some of them have drivers licenses.
I'm guessing it's a lot of people who have had everything done for them their entire lives, people who live off of mom and dad's money.
That harmonica had me rolling. We did all sorts of shit like that when we were young.
Long time ago when I worked as a mechanic in a small shop. I so often wanted to ask the customer "how stupid can you get?", but refrained.. We did a lot of laughing after the customer left.
Better than watching a comedy show. Thanks for a great year of videos JRI.
Thanks for being here my friend!
Scary thing is that this is NOT fake!!!!
That last truck is AWESOME. I would pay literal hundreds to commission something like that stellar background on a car, let alone SEVERAL TIMES inside the same art piece.
Truckception
These videos sure boost my self esteem 😂
lol
this was wild lmao
Cars are truly the most impressive machines. I would never assume that half of these are repairable.
any car is fixable if you got the money to pay for it.
@@andidevlin3361And that's the problem with most of these wreckages, they aren't even worth the cost to fix them.
@andidevlin3361 This is why McLaren F1s are indestructible... because they are always worth more than it costs to fix them......even if you have to rebuild one from scratch.
@@h8GW as "Mr Bean" found out
Makes my dumbest 2023 decisions look like Nobel Prize material. Thanks for the confidence boost.
i LOVE THESE VIDEOS.
Im proud to say i once fixed a radiator with jb weld and a pack of lucky strikes. Albeit, it blew 1/4 mile from the shop, but it did make it there.
What a great invention, oil that comes out in one lump, no mess or fuss, just one lump. LOOOL
Whenever I start to doubt my level of intelligence, all I have to do is head over to this channel and watch a few videos. Thanks man you're a life saver.
Zip tied harmonica to grill is pure evil genius😂
No video has ever prompted me to ask "But why?" so many times in a row.... and Im okay with that! 😆
I'd rather be that guy with a Lysol can under his seat than the guy with wrenches and metal scraps holding their car together any day.
As a 35 year technician and shop owner, nothing surprises me anymore but watching your videos is a good laugh. I’ll send you some videos soon.
I lost it at "load bearing coconut" LOL
"Load bearing coconut" LOL!!!
It's amazing how many people try to fix leaks on their car with electrical tape. Don't they know that your supposed to use duct tape? 😂
I don't know what kind of electrical tape they have in America, but electrical tape in Germany starts to come of as soon as it gets slightly humid.
We need a museum with all these customer DIY fixes on display. This is more entertaining than a Modern art museum. 😂❤
So glad I made it till the end with the tail gate fractal.
