ha ha , those jeep liberties have timing belts and when they break then the car wont start and extensive collateral damage results immediately at the time of the break . the plaintiff's timing belt broke causing the damage long before the tow driver ever got to it and the plaintiff knows it .
The plaintiff says his car wont start, then he says, "he got in my car and started it and stepped on the gas", didn't anyone catch that the "car started" LOL
12 y.o. Jeep Liberty with 147,000 isn’t worth $5,000. No proof damage wasn’t the cause of the owner previously, but forcing the car to run isn’t wise. Oil is baked on, not all fresh.
There's stages of "motor no good" tho right? You got rod knock = motor no good Then you got rod knock and rev the shit out the engine then 💥 rod through the block oil everywhere = motor really no good
I had the 3.6l Pentastar in my Jeep. I kept up with the maintenance and took good care of it and still had to replace it engine at 125k miles. That's just the way it goes.

The car wouldn’t start because it had a bent valve, so the engine was already blown or at least, would need new heads, and at that point, you might as well replace the motor
Proof that a little information is a dangerous thing. The plaintiff admits he knows nothing about cars other than a single statement made to him years ago. Yet he's know exactly what happened in this case. OK..
Fun fact here.....the dont press gas pedal too much because of flooding is only for carbuerated cars. Because anything newer with throttle body and injectors shouldn't flood if it doesn't start but there is also this thing called clear flood.....which is wide open throttle while attempted to start
If you're having engine trouble and the motor doesn't want to start YOU DON"T FORCE IT !!! That's why it blew a rod. Tow truck driver's fault, should have been liable for at least half.
The tow truck driver should have NEVER tried to crank the car. Obviously there was a problem but gasing it and cranking it will cause MORE damage. I think the should have paid half. Oil was not leaking before the car was moved. So yes tge tow truck driver DID cause damage.
The defendant is lucky that the plaintiff doesn't know me. Those motors are known for having the valve seats drop out, it almost always happens when starting the engine hot as one would do after spending a short time in a cell phone store. If you don't run the engine after it makes noise and dies the repair is generally not too big of a job. The tow driver revving the engine up would definitely cause a lot of additional damage, often requiring an engine rebuild or even a complete engine replacement. Being that the rocker arms came off there's probably nothing salvageable in that engine.
Towing doesn't, but revving an engine that's already knocking like the tow driver did can definitely damage it. Especially this one because it had probably just dropped a valve seat(s) which isn't a big deal 'till you rev the engine.
first off if he was changing the plugs he would have seen the cracked valve cover and that is a known problem with chrysler's. but him driving it on the truck wouldn't do that. i'm sure he would have had an engine light on before all of this happened. and 147,000 miles is not a lot of miles on cars these days, well on foreign cars that is
Perhaps the bottom of the car got scraped as the defendant drove it on to the flatbed, but nothing was mentioned of the sort, the strange part is that the plaintiff said the car didn't start, but the defendant got it started and moving, so I think the plaintiff knew it was going to leak oil everywhere, if he started the car...
Lazy tow truck driver. What's the point of calling a flat bed if he's just going to start the disabled vehicle and do more damage. If a vehicle is having trouble you don't just get in start and try to drive it. You check all fluids and inspect it before so you don't damage it farther.
AFTER THE VERDICT: wrong answer! Correct answer is: it varies by state. Wisconsin Stat 895.484 'GOOD SAMARITAN LAW' specifically allows the forcible entry into a car to provide aid to a domestic animal.
As a mechanic if he would’ve brought his car to my shop I would have to start it too just to hear the problem anyway so it’s sounds like the car was f*d by the time the tow truck got there
Why do the men from New York always seem manlier than other men? Is it the accent or is it because so many Italians live there? Whatever it is...I like it! 😁😁😁😉
If the tow truck paperwork said "motor no good", then the tow truck driver should HAVE NEVER STARTED, yet alone driven the car onto the flatbed. The car should have been back up to and pulled onto the flat bed for transport. I wish the plaintiff had thought to say that.
If he was a real mechanic, the first thing should not be to change spark plugs and then look at the motor. If there was oil everywhere on the ground, that should tell even a non mechanic that something made a hole somewhere.
As a certified Chrysler tech, I guarantee the tow driver did the damage. Most likely the rod seized hence why it didn’t start. Then when the tow driver forced it to run it blew the rods and bent the pistons which caused major damage. Would have been about $400 fix before that.
It is, but it doesn't prove whether the damage was done by the tow driver or if it had already happened. Knowing this engine's weaknesses, I'll say that it's a 99% chance that he did cause the damage.

in Ontario Canada, the dog can be dying...visibly....and not only do you have to pay for the window, but the police can arrest you for malicious damage.. I would smash the window, open the door put the dog in the shade and then rum like bleep. ps the police response time EVERYWHERE in our city is half an hour or more....even when someone is pounding on your skylight to try to break it to get into the house. The dog would be dead LONG before the police get there. ps mention a bank.....they'll be there in 30 secs......small business ....MORE than half an hour. And then they lied about it (armed robbery at a jewellers.....NEVER mention a gun or they wait til they're sure the robber is gone.)
I knew the plaintiff was gonna lose before judge even came out lol
He is mad.
These bogus lawsuits should automatically award the defendant a $ 500 minimum for opportunity cost.
The Defendant is the winner. I had no doubt. Solid testimony from start to finish. 👏👏👏
The guy knew his business for sure.
Don’t spoil it for people not cool.

He got the car to start a few times 😃. I caught it.
Evidence not feelings are required.
There is NO WAY, NO HOW that a rod was thrown thru the valve cover the way the plaintiff describes it happened..that motor was bad for some time....
Hell his mechanic would have had to start it up to diagnose it. The plaintiff wants something for nothing
LOL PLAINTIFF is in shock hahaha

A 12 year old Jeep Liberty with 140,000 miles is worth about $140.00. That thing was junk when it was new.

Sounds like the timing belt jumped and if it was an OHV that will cause the piston ton hit the valves.

That's just it. It was on the plaintiff to obtain proof which he did not...
Old episode. You can break a window in California.
I want a free engine. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I used to drive a tow truck on call, and towing has zero to do with your motor...but I drove an old school tow truck.

@@DonziGT230 It blew a rod, short and sweet.
@@getin3949 No. A blown rod doesn't explain several rocker arms coming out of place.

Plaintiff was a hard core scammer
If you knew this engine you might have a different opinion.
First case: Wha!?
If the tow guy drove the car upon the rollback then he did wrong because the car is supposed to have been wenched onto the rollback
Says who?
AFTER THE VERDICT: wrong answer! Correct answer is: it varies by state. Wisconsin Stat 895.484 'GOOD SAMARITAN LAW' specifically allows the forcible entry into a car to provide aid to a domestic animal.

He tried it.
He thinks he's a goombah, but he's a Fredo
...giggle
It's easy to get scammed out here so you need to be careful with anything that you do.
Plaintiff is Ok Boomer King
Why do the men from New York always seem manlier than other men? Is it the accent or is it because so many Italians live there? Whatever it is...I like it! 😁😁😁😉
He shouldn’t have driven the car at all . He could have made a small problem bigger
With 447,000 miles on his motor he was lucky he even got that much out of that Jeep.
If the tow truck paperwork said "motor no good", then the tow truck driver should HAVE NEVER STARTED, yet alone driven the car onto the flatbed. The car should have been back up to and pulled onto the flat bed for transport. I wish the plaintiff had thought to say that.
Wouldn't have made a difference lol. The motor was NO GOOD. It's still no good
@@amandas2541 exactly...
This!!!
The MOTOR WAS NO GOOD it wouldn’t have mattered

its james cagney what the heck.
The oil spilling onto the flatbed truck from his car seems to be proof of damage?
It is, but it doesn't prove whether the damage was done by the tow driver or if it had already happened. Knowing this engine's weaknesses, I'll say that it's a 99% chance that he did cause the damage.
So driving his car wrecked it? The problem was there and probably is why it would not start or keep running.
Not necessarily, the tow driver probably did damage it.
Come on Dude, 447,000 miles. What the heck do you expect from a vehicle??? That's well over the average lifetime of ANY motor. Sheesh!!!
Wow
The Plaintiff's last comments were ridiculous. If it was drivable, why even call for a tow? 🤦♀️
Gonna miss Harvey Levin and his commentary.
I skip ahead every time I see him on the screen

Not

I am 6 minutes into the case and the Plaintiff is out of gas... That is not a reason for a piston to blow through the head...
And there will be an audible sound of the piston blowing through the valve cover...
Crazy door 90
The plaintiff is a Karen bully
Actually, he's probably right and the tow driver revving the engine probably destroyed it.
Thank god this show is being cancelled ..this judge made a big mistake why would the tow guy start the car instead of towing
