I wish to note a resounding thank you; Most important to me is to leave the 12-string music under; Don't think it needs it but give a moment's thought to posting a laughter warning; Just shared with Torac whom is accomplished at the level seen here …
It's hard to watch the vast amount of stupidity in such long chunks. I went numb about halfway thru.
eww that car full of flies and buggs, i would refuse it too, i had a car in at my last job full of food, they wanted me to work on the airbag system in the seats, i told them to go take it to get cleaned before i even plug my scan tool in lol. the kid sits in the back and the mother just keeps giving it food to keep it quiet, the kids just chucks the food on the floor and she leaves it there ewww.
0:58 firebomb the bloody thing.
@@JS-wc4xs I made it slightly past ½-way looking at the ½-yatzs • View it as spectacular Clown-itis: Professional Clowns get laughs > These are not professionals!
Looking at some of these cars makes you understand why some states require annual safety inspections.
I don't understand why some states require. Should be mandatory on all states.
@@XtreeM_FaiL 😂 had me in the first half
I used to commute into work for 14 years then got a job driving a box truck making deliveries because the office just sucked so much.... But, even in MA where we have yearly safety inspections i'd still see cars on the side of the highway, stopped on the left side of the highway, dead in a tunnel after a bump, etc, with busted lower ball joints causing the wheel to flop up, fallen apart wheel bearings causing the entire wheel to fall off, busted tie rod sending them into a guardrail... It's crazy how little people care about their car. None of those issues show up overnight, and most make a lot of nasty noise for quite a while. Getting a wheel bearing to completely fall apart takes a while.
I’m in the UK - mandatory annual inspections needed here if your car’s over 3 years old: just had mine done. If it’s a tiny fault they give you an ‘advisory’, which means ‘get it fixed by next inspection time…’
The inspections may help some, but you can't fix stupid.
We laugh but the lack of general knowledge is truly terrifying
It is truly astounding, and some of it is just plain, out and out stupidity.
A lot of them probably didn't even know it was that bad because why would they look they wouldn't know what to look for because they didn't think it would be bad enough to be that noticeable
perhaps was the dumbass owner that did it and blamed someone else...
Common sense is not common.
Just think. All these idiots are on the road. How safe do you feel?
"Yeah, I got a buddy who can weld!" Lol Famous last words...
I honestly admire the ingenuity of the door handle repair at 15:51 It is simple yet functional, inexpensive, operation is obvious, and tells potential thieves “Steal another car.”
I'd like to contact the person and find out how. My daughter has a beater car that has a broken door handle (safe otherwise) and If we could duplicate this fix, it would help a lot.
I actually gave a small grunt of approval at this hack...it's like "...aaahhh....ok."
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It should still lock too, it got my approval.
I would have to agree with you on this one. My dad was a amazing mechanic and did amazing work, on other peoples cars of course😂. He should have been certified in afro enginuity when it came to our cars😂. If me or my sisters car had A/C before he worked on it it didnt after wards lol. Plus extra parts that we "didnt need". He did a top rebuild on my 01 venture. I was unaware it had California emissions. Well it did before he worked on it😂. He taught me so much and I can proudly say I do all of my own repairs. I am no super certified mechanic and there is repairs Ive never done. But I give it my all, reach out for help, dont try to be a know it all and continue to learn new things. I just did a motor swap on my 05 Malibu V6. I asked a ton of questions but basically did all the work myself. Now Im having an electrical problem and I would much rather give birth than deal with electrical😂. It had issues before I got it and only have it because it was free. The dick who did the work on this car before me I hope he stubbs his toe everyday in life. Every bolt that could possibly been put on with a power wrench or impact he did and without antiseeze.
“I came in for an oil change, why are you trying to upsell me”
LOL Im in the lube business, if a hooptie like this comes in we tell them to go away
@@MrROTD we had a guy come in with a total hooptie. My boss wrote up a detailed explanation of why we won't do the oil change. The guy tried to fight my boss.
🤣🤣🤣
@@MyDogIsYoshi If these people know so much about cars and why the mechanic is wrong, why are they even in the shop for just an oil change? Surely they are smart enough to undo one bolt and replace an oil filter?
@@akaraven66 you have no idea how often I ask myself that
I have done some "unorthodox" field modifications to get myself home, and I've put off some things longer than I maybe should have, but these videos make me feel really good about myself.
I too feel really good about myself. I have left some stuff go, but god damn! And WTF is up with all the bullet holes?
@@RaggedsEdge ‘Murica
@@sameermohideen4913 Honestly they probably went through the wrong neighborhood.
Theres nothing wrong with installing some electrics yourself, or making some "hotfixes", but man, at least do it right. Like those guys in the video seem like they aren't even trying.
Dx
The Subaru at 4:03 that was steering left and right by itself was absolutely terrifying.
the force feedback was just calibrating
It’s an old mechanics prank. There’s a dude moving the passenger tire back and forth. You have to do it on the rack tho where no one can see you.
Lucky that garage was there. I see him swerving right to the shop
Obviously the car read a book "How to kill my driver"
@@derekv8534 Nope, this happens when you attach the hoses for power steering the wrong way around.
I love the "this customer had their vehicle in park while they towed it-" at about 1:18, cause I bet that was really conducive to amazing gas mileage.
Can you explain what really caused the steering wheel to bend like that at 2:15??? He says it was a "bump" but what really caused something like that?
@@WhitneyDahlin probably his grip, it doesnt just randomly bent like that
@@morbidlyobesecat7829 Grip? What is he Brock Lesnar?
@@WhitneyDahlinhis “girlfriend’s” head.
After 45 years as a professional mechanic I retired in 2017. I just realized after watching this video that I don't miss this shit whatsoever.
I don't doubt it lol
The windshield washer fluid shooting out of the a/c vent had me in stitches.
Must've been some elaborate prank.
When you can't install the ejector seat to deal with unruly passengers, you give 'em the old razzle dazzle with the clown spray bottle!
There was a German guy arrested over there for drunk driving. He had his washer bottle filled with schnapps and a hose at hand he could put in his mouth, no kidding. Maybe 30 years ago.
@@mikekokomomike that's hilarious and gives me a wild, but illegal, idea for countering ignition-lock breathalyzers. If you could rig the vent system to a hideable hose that latches onto the unit, it just might work.
Auto version of the Clown Lapel Water Flower gag 🤣🤣🤣
1:28 love how this customer added speed holes to their car, really helps it go faster!
Country Driver: "Hey, Jethro! I heared yew can add speed holes to mah fancy ole car dere!" Country Mechanic: "Shore Ah kin! What size speed holes d'yew want!?" Country Driver: "How 'bout sumthin' in a .45 caliber?" Country Mechanic: "Best Ah kin do is a .38." Country Driver: "Awl raht." 😄
Ahh ya beat me to it!
The old saying,"Buyer Beware" still holds up.
I was sitting at the shop waiting for them to do my free rotate and balance when I overhear a mechanic talking to a teenage girl nearby. Apparently she not only wore through the brake pads, she wore all the way into the caliper itself. You could see him try and keep composure while asking "didn't you notice some noise?"
the issue i see is people get these things drive em like no tomorrow but then wonder why keeping up on the car costs so much? hell people complain about changing oil, air filters and cabin filters. or getting an alignment when half your tire has 7/32 vs wires on the other side
She should be legally banned from owning a car
@@ninjatvlv6101 It's what happens when parents, for whatever reason, don't tell their *teenage kids* about car maintenance. The same can be said of teenagers who don't pay attention, who forget the good knowledge from those who _do_ tell them. I'm sure there are other reasons, too.
@@101Volts or their daughters about which man to pick and now we need abortions stat
I drove a car like that when I was 19 but I knew what it was, we just couldn't afford to fix it. It was so bad, and the sound was horrendous. Bad enough that when I met this guy, he was so appalled he fixed my brakes for me himself the second week we dated and he didn't know squat about mechanics at the time but did a great job. Now he's my husband 😆 and fixes all my cars
By no means am I a mechanic but these just blow me away. Some of the things people do to vehicles is just nuts.
Same, I have basically 0 experience with cars but I know enough to realize when something is that messed up
"Nuts?" If they had those attached, some of these problems wouldn't exist.
You dont need to be a mechanic to bend down to your knees to have a check, and also, common sense doesnt suddenly appear with mechanical knowledge
Aside from the utter neglect of those vehicles I can't get over the number of cars with bulletholes casually dropped off. This is unimaginable here in Belgium.
As a Canadian, I can't believe Americans just put up with this level of gun violence in their society! Insane.
Must be climate change.
A large percentage probably are the end of a "hold my beer and watch this!" moment. As for the rest, they are most likely gang violence related.
@@chrissturgeon1571 It's crime. These types of vehicles are almost always the result of street takeovers and/or sketchy neighborhoods where gangs are common. I promise you bullet-riddled cars are only regular in larger cities, while cars on the absolute brink of collapse are typically products of countryside people who think the mechanic is trying to price gouge them or they're drug addicts who refuse to spend excess money on anything but drugs.
It's very dependent on where in America you are. In a quiet suburb it would be almost as unimaginable as where you are.
That real life triple-take at 6:10 had me rolling laughing! 😂😂 Great stuff!
The scene with the battery in the Honda, it reminded me when I worked at Auto Zone and someone bought a battery for their car. They take it home and some time later they call saying the battery was dead/junk, one of the two. First thing I asked them was if they took off the plastic covers off the posts. Long silence and they hung up.
A friend of mine used to work at a local farm supply store. He was my "go to guy" when I needed a battery. It amazed both of us how many people don't take those caps off. The store couldn't sell returned batteries as new but they did sell them at a DEEP discount (with no warranty) after load testing them. $20 for what would normally be a $150 battery? I'll take that deal all day every day!
I've heard of that happening, but I can't imagine how you can even get the clamps over the posts with the caps on? Most clamps would hardly open far enough.
@@marshallpeters7174 I was just as lost as you are. Pretty sure it was the guy I sold it to for his Celica.
@@marshallpeters7174 Have you ever seen how people sometimes mangle battery terminals? I've seen people spread them so far that they crack. Then, when they tighten them, the terminal breaks completely.
As a retired mechanic, I howled with laughter. I love the dry sense of humour shown by some mechanics. Love the videos and amazed at the stupidity that there are people out there driving death traps. I have seen a 6" nail used as a brake-pin on a Volvo 240, the woman was driving her kids around like that 😳
That’s scary.
I bought a thirty year old used truck about six months ago and I'm slowly finding all the crazy mind boggling neglected issues or Jerry rigged repairs to keep me laughing and somewhat sane haha.
hey, working is working🤷🏻♂️
That's what happens when you live in a dystopian hellscape where you literally need a car just to go get some milk and eggs. Other nations are set up in a way where everything is in walking distance. And that's for a reason: Because everyone cannot afford to have cars. These people cannot afford to have cars either. They can afford to BUY them but not MAINTAIN them and its a symptom of how America is built.
Stupidity or poverty?
My favorite part was at timestamp 15:55, because, as a mechanic's son, I remember working on a car that bad the same problem. My Dad started recording, similar to what this mechanic did, and said, "Yes! Work it!" It was the funniest moment of my life. thank you, Just Rolled In, for supplying some humor in peoples lives. God bless you.
This man is the Daily Dose of Internet of cars.
This is like a companion series to the "Idiots In Cars" dashcam series. I've been driving for nearly 40 years and owned quite a few cars, but I can't fathom how some people can let their vehicles get into such disrepair and be so oblivious to it.
That series made me buy a dash cam, and this series made me do a monthly inspection checklist at home.
It tells you that people are to lazy to get it repaired. Best way to avoid repairs is if you have the money trade it in every 2-3 years or 36,000 miles just before it expires.
I can't fathom it either. Considering how obscene car prices are (even before COVID), one would think that the owner would take better care of their car. Whether it's preventive maintenance, or fixing a problem as soon as it shows up. Some people would rather ruin their cars, and buy another car and make payments for the next 5-6 years. I hate borrowing from banks, it's like a sword of Damocles hanging over my head.
While its horrifyingly true how oblivious some car owners are it's also equally terrible how garbage cars and trucks are anymore. 10 years after they go off the dealer lot they are basically junk that cant be fixed. In 20 years nobody is going to hand their son or daughter the keys to a treasured 2015 cobalt that's been in the family since new. It's been recycled 4 times into more garbage
@@MultiTurbospeed yeah too lazy... Because everyone has thousands of dollars laying around ready to spend on auto repairs at the drop of a hat.
That "crossmember" on the yellow hellcat Charger is just amazing.
I stg 😂 I just want to know how, why, who and WHY. Pretty sure I saw a piece of iron i beam "welded" in there. The same thing I use when jacking my car up on the subframe rail lol
@@Meekmillan What's with that bolt just randomly welded to the chassis?
@@JayDee-xj9lu clearly a tow point. Its a track built car of course
Guessing he was getting shitty gas mileage so he decided to fit a larger gas tank........
@@nickmaclachlan5178 No its the sump of the engine, its like hes done an engine swap with with an engine not for that vehicle and "made" his own crossmember. Who the hell would do it like that tho, i'm baffled at the lack of intelligence shown.
Aw thanks Mopar! Now I can make sure my windows are torqued to factory specs before driving, awesome! 🙂
Watching these videos makes me glad we have mandatory annual vehicle inspections.
I worked as a mechanic for 40 yrs and still can’t believe some of the stuff I’ve seen
Yeah 40+ years and didnt see any shattered casings or rims as bad as these.
Yeah, people are dumb and reckless.
@Buck Fiden they do seem to be more careless over there.....must be all dat meth...
Yup on year 41 and I just hate cars now 🤪
i did it for 12.. and considering the locations i worked.. i feel ya, seen more shit that made me never want to drive again on public roads, and just hate humanity in general.
For those wondering, the bling ring is made of metal, so it shorts out the electric field produced by the car's security system. Therefore the RFID chip inside the key doesn't get power, and it can't send the code to the computer. If the ring had a 1mm gap in it then the key would work.
It wasn't just physically blocking the key from being inserted?
Makes sense!
I came to the comments looking for this exact answer, thanks :)
@@ShotGunner5609 no if the key is not fully inserted you wont be able to turn
Serves him right for putting a cockring around his ignition
"Its gonna wobble on the highway" made me chuckle XD
12:48 ayyy one of the engine bays i actually recognise in the vid. mid 2010's diesel mazda cx-5
This is how my family members bring me cars as a DIY mechanic and expect me to fix it that day 😂😂
And for FREE, right?
SAD but true.. AND they will want you to locate, buy, and install any parts needed for a complete repair. And complain if you did not clean the windshield while you were in there. I tell any one that MY mechanical knowledge stops at "Fell er up!!" I tell (especially family) I don't even pump my own gas. It is better that way.
Love how they invite you over for a BBQ. Then as soon as you say hello. It's could take a look at my car, or could fix my car? Soon you never go to a family BBQ.
Personal motto. Never buy from, sell to, or work for friends and family.
@@Viraqua I have rarely heard wiser words.
9:24 Always check your tire pressure after getting a new set at a tire shop. Driving away after getting new tires, the truck felt funny, like it was on its tip toes. Pulled into a parking lot, and got out my tire pressure gauge (which I have in all our vehicles). All four tires had 106 psi in them, a little over the recommended 35 psi! I can imagine that the shop's master air regulator was set for that pressure, and the tech just kept airing up until no more air would go in. I wonder how many other vehicles they did like that?
Also document it before you go in with warranty complaint, my father got done over like that, they said there was 80 psi in the tires so the warranty is void. Not a chance my father made that mistake, none.
@@unclejim1528 i mean most non mechanics don't even have access to pumps that would fill to 80 on a car tire in any reasonable amount of time
And use your own tire gauge. The ones on the hose at the gas station are wildly inaccurate. That's probably why that tire has so much air in it.
Sounds like the tech got carried away "seating" the tire....
@@ostrich67 some when we get cars in with air like that. literally the excuse is "i didnt want to waste the quarter"........
When I bought my car used, there was a couple things that seemed slightly sketchy on it, such as mismatched tires from front to back and bad battery, but videos like this really make me appreciate how little is wrong with my car comparatively 😂
The mismatched tyres remind me of my dad's 05 Trailblazer he got in late January or early February of this year for a couple thousand. All the rims are stock... But the tyres are 245/70R16s on all but the front driver's side. The front driver's side has the stock width and what have you, which is 235/70R16. Might need to sort that out eventually, as well as the rough shift from 1 to 2.
The steering wheel at 2:24 reminds me of Dell Griffith of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", where he almost totalled the rental car.
I've done a lot of "shade tree" mechanic work on old cars I've owned, but, my God, looking at the "repairs" on some of these vehicles, I was SAE certified.
Same. I've done some stuff, but not that
SAE terrified
Compared to some of these DIYers you had a Doctorate in Automotive Maintenance.
Self-steering Subaru needs a witch doctor, not a mechanic. 👻
Auto-steering 😅
Needs a priest and an exorcism 🙏
Glad to see Subaru is working to get into that lucrative self-driving market!
Yeah I know it’s just a sensor but damn.
That's just scary
I've always found the convenience of having exhaust pipes to hang various wiring on.
13:20 INSTALLED A RADIO? that car is a freaking mobile surveillance center Radio my ass
The bedazzled ring around the key is the hardest thing to explain to customers, as a service advisor I just tell people let me show you why your vehicle won’t start
I could understand if the ring stopped the key from turning. But the key turned and the lights came on. I cannot understand why it would have disabled the start circuit and no other.
@@smitajky cause the damn key aint in all the way lmfao
Because the bedazzled ring being made of a ferrous metal was interrupting the field made by the coil loop on the tumbler assembly. That loop imparts EMF to the small loop in the chip key chip. When energizing happens properly, the chip in the chip key is energized and the chip sends back the code to the tumbler assembly and the computer authorizes the key by checking for that particular unique code and then allows the car to start. In summary, the chip was not getting energized by EMF.
My all time favourite is still "It was running when I parked it." When was that? 1972.......
I used to think that the problems I ran into in 2017 with my 2004 Chevy Cavalier (which was perfect until then) were unfortunate. But now I know that I took exceptional care of it, and 13 years was just the signal to get a 2018 vehicle, take care of it, and pray for 12-16 years of usage. By then I'll probably be dead anyhow, lol. 😂
14:50 This looks almost exactly like my car... minus the bullet hole. Lol
The BMW gives new meaning to your engine is shot.
I love how they hit the hood emblem like it was a target.
Beyond Mechanic Warranty, mwahahahahahah
Just one more reason to never live in the hood.Don't want some shitbag reprobate near my car,why should you?
That would be what i thought the old meaning was, literally shot? Since it isnt what does that mean, something like shoddy?
and Big Money Waster!
i love this so much more than any other compilation, it’s only actual shop stuff without merch plugs or random memes and annoying music, great channel.
Thank you for being here!
Ditto to the OG comment ^^
Yes, exactly. So many people think they have to add "funny" bits while it's just very annoying. Maybe if your audience is 13 year old teens, it might be a good choice. So please keep this relaxed atmosphere.
Yeah, and they take videos from all over the world, even from places like Baghdad and Mariopol, judging from all the bullet holes... >__>
@@RoonMian or new orleans haha
OMG! These homemechanics gets better and better each year! 🤣😂🤣😂
As a mechanic for +30 years, I've only seen about half of these types of failures, which is scary. Anyhow, I've gotta give props to the door handle "work around" at 15:50. It works, but that's definitely something I would've done when I was 14 or 15, LOL!!
starts better too
That no-crank at 10:02 hits close to home. That exact thing got my wife. Fortunately I was able to figure it out without paying to tow the car in. Somehow that little metal ring of bling interfered with the electronic sensor reading the tag in the key.
It’s preventing the key from going in all the way. The chip in the key doesn’t reach its sensor, that 16th of an inch thickness of the bling ring doesn’t let it line up. I ran into a similar problem with a woman who had a plastic grip added to the key, it just snapped over the head of the key, but prevented it from going all the way in. What’s worse, is she didn’t make the connection, it didn’t dawn on her that the key stopped working when she added the grip thing. She couldn’t understand what one had to do with the other? She had that look on her face that she thought I was feeding her a load of crap. I didn’t even charge her anything.
@@alphagt62 If it was preventing the key from going all the way in it wouldn't still turn in the lock.
Recently discovered this channel and I"ve never seen so many drag slick tires!! lol
These videos taught me the meaning of what my grandpa used to say over 30 years ago "Jr, some people are just dumb enough to hang themselves given enough rope" I now totally get it.
0:44 As a detailer, my immediate response is, "Can I just set this one on fire?"
That's the only fix!
3:55 shit, we were spotted, to cylinder 1!
So thankful you guys exist!❤
This is great. I love the "I did it myself", the I just hit a small "bump" and the I just hit a "small puddle" ones.
Hey its never bad to try fixing things yourself. If u do it, you do it. If you fail, thats another story
@@toomi195 coming from a family of mechanics and being a car guy myself thats understandable. But to keep driving on said fail thats when it gets real risky. And we always love it when they bring it in to have it fixed then yell at us when we give them the bill lol
@@tylercovey327 haha thats true. When you mess something up its always embarassing to go to the mechanic 😀 but you guys are doing a good job!
"Bump"... aka 6ft boulder....
This actually makes me somewhat grateful that here we have yearly 'MOT' inspections.
I’d fail all these vehicles MOT’s etc. advise the customer that their car should go straight to the scrappy. 😳
Yeah im happy they are very strict in the uk
@@warrickmiller7651 it cost me a lot to keep my car road worthy this year, but with only one advisory i can say comfortably that she feels safe.
Mmm tasty boot tips 🤡
We end up with rather fewer bullet holes too.
16:22 - I had a sadly similar situation, but it involved a rotting cantaloupe that had unknowingly dropped out in the trunk of my Mustang GT. It was sitting in a plastic bag for TWO WEEKS in Florida during the summer, and we didn't realize what the horrid smell was for about four or five days until I checked the trunk and found it. Took me MONTHS to get that smell out of the car, and the false-bottom spare tire cover was ruined.
Keep up the fabulous work!!
Back in the day some cars were called "rat rods", however, I don't think this is what they had in mind. And the one with the insects... I would never sit my a$$ in that car.
@The Wicked Scoundrel it’s a Hyundai, I don’t think anyone’s gonna miss it.
I once saw a car in an impound lot that had been in the hot Australian summer sun for 4 weeks with a couple of large buckets of shellfish left in it, You couldnt get closer than 10 feet without retching and you could hear it from 50 feet, there were so many blowflies in it. No way would you ever get that stench out. :-))
Those insect looked like cockroaches!
@@uhtred7860 yeah just scrap the car at that point.
I would, but I wouldn't stop at any lights or stops signs till it ran out of fuel, RUN FORREST, RUN!
I'd love to see the reactions of the customers when the 'faults' with their vehicles are pointed out to them.
Probably get upset and start blaming the mechanic
@@filipmazic5486 yea
Or do what the TV trained them to do and tell the mechanic that they're lying and trying to sell them parts they "don't need."
they whine, they bitch, they complain we are trying to sell them shit... and then they drive off part of the time. "so and so can do it cheaper!" or "i can fix it myself!" etc. the smarter ones buckle down and get the repairs, or admit the vehicle is toast. just had a lady in with a 2001 malibu, hubby told her it was toast, to not waste money repairing it and use that money to buy something better. needed new tires all around new brakes and rotors all around - several lines were bad so probably those as well the drivers seat was busted, the floor attachment area was nothing but rust on one side at least one control arm and wheel bearing misfiring- sounded like an old lawnmower body was trashed, rusted, front end and hood dented in but the kicker... couldn't run it more than 5 mins without it overheating with clouds of steam... head gasket or cracked block. we didn't bother to finish diagnosing at that point and that's when we told her it wasn't worth it. she had it towed to midas to get them to do the repairs... which will probably be 3x what we would charge if we were willing to do the work.
It wasnt like that when i brought it in....never taking accountability.
I giggled at "customer states sound is coming from the rear"
I'm amazed every time I see this videos, and I have to ask don't they have any kind of yearly inspection/ test in America,a lot of cars here are long overdue for the scrapyard
Honestly its crazy how these vehicles still drives with huge problems like this and make it to the mechanics got to give the car company props 👏
If I was a mechanic I was say too the customer go buy a new car since lots of those cars need like $5,000 to $30,000 just for repairs
Just plain ignorance ? Or just total disinterest in cars?
@@1953beetle I understand if it's underneath the car since most people won't be able to take a good look themselves. But some of those clips are just... wtf. Homemade fixes have to be the worsts. Ones like the "bump" that bent the steering wheels are mysteries. Majority are poorly maintained cars with drivers who basically neglect their own safety and the safety of others.
@@Soliye. 🤣👍
Meanwhile my car takes a dump if a sensor goes bad 😆 these people's cars are in literal pieces
So do mechanics have to report bullet wounds like doctors do? 🤣🤣🤣 The scariest one was the one where you said customer states "My car handles like a boat a 70mph." If that was true that was some seriously dangerous driver right there man. Loved the longer video today. Just what I needed today. Thanks. 😎
Never encountered bullet holes in any vehicle I've worked on but I would think so? Lol. And glad you enjoyed it!!
No... Now you can contact the police about it, and find out if it may have been used in some sort event. But it is not a requirement. It's more of the, hey this cars been shot up, i should call the police kinds thing. But you do not have to. Although if it's filled with holes you probably should. Best case scenario "Yes this matches a vehicle description" boom not your problem anymore. Worse case scenario it's just some idiot who likes to shoot at his own car.
Considering it's a loaner it's safe to assume that he used it in a drive by to avoid being tracked back
I love it when vehicles come into my shop that have already been disassembled or just fixed incorrectly by customers!
Ahhh!! I love that oil jelly that’s made when folks don’t change they’re oil when running non synthetic!!! It has such a nice shine to it and the way it jiggles s nice 👍
More than anything, this video shows the two of most important lessons about any piece of mechanical/electronical technology. "get a professional to do it" and "don't act like you know what happened, just tell the person fixing the thing what did you do to it"
I am glad you do videos like this. So many people are convinced that all service workers are out to rob and cheat them. There are some bad apples out there but most of us just want to the best job possible and unfortunately there are costs involved.
In my experience, the worst customers are the cheap skates who always cry about being ripped off. They abuse their vehicles, but don't want to pay to fix them.
Honestly. I had the faux diamond bezel issue on a Honda Accord but it was a crank no start vs no crank. Young girl out of Cali just moved to WA and "bedazzeled" everything.
I always make sure to add coolant to my oil. It keeps the oil temperature down.
LOL - the VOlkswagon beetle acceleration noise had me rollin' - like it was screaming in pain, begging you to just put it out of it's misery lol
This makes me feel a lot better about the time I put on my brake pads backwards. My dad hasn't let me forget in the 15 years since.
The smokin' side mirror is the best, don't know what you would need it for, but it looks cool.
just rolled in lol more like just towed in these cars are insane must be headed straight to the scrap yard awesome video!
It was annoying when mandatory periodic vehicle inspections were introduced in my country, but it has really improved the safety standard of vehicles on the road. Every other year all cars must be inspected by an approved garage.
What country do you live in?
5:30 "yo, pop the front glass for me"
The rats scattering was like a magic trick. Like 'where'd they go?!?'
I liked the one at just about the 5 minute mark. “It’s got a good beat and you can dance to it!” 😅
I’m not a car person at all, I literally just drive mine from point A to B and yet this is still so entertaining.
Your cars will one day find their spot on the channel. Every car owner depicted is someone just like you: drive car till it doesn’t run.
@@STV-H4H I know how to take care of a car bud.
@@NoisyBones As long as you don't patch up your tyres with Duct Tape etc, you good.
@@STV-H4H In such case, there is no complaint against owner - he / she didn't do nothing wrong, but mechanical parts eventually will be worn.
@@STV-H4H "this dude uses his car for communal transportation, he must not take care of his care"
These videos are the aftermath of the General Lee doing a jump
The one with the bent steering wheel, I think they found out how much of a shock it is coming down from a ' dukes ' jump. They probably bent it with their face.
Or KITT. Lol
Watching this is exactly why I look at cars before I even tell the customer if i will work on it. If I have never seen your car, you get a pre inspection. Even for an oil change. I don't need the head ache and waste of time.
The first repair with the square tubing is pretty impressive
2:38 brings a new meaning to open differential
7:45 who knew a steering wheel could stop a bullet 🤯
...well, after penetrating the windshield!
I don't pay much attention to the bald tires as most of mine are also showing wires when I change them. But usually it's because I do a big burnout to finish the tires off before replacing them.
7:36 the steering wheel would habe saved him anyway^^
Every time I work on my car things take longer than planned and I'm frequently cursing at random tools or parts..but suddenly I feel like a veteran mechanic now.
Holy poop on a stick. I am a retired ASE Master Tech and damn near this whole video was a jaw drop. Thanks for this. In my entire career I only saw a couple of things this bone headed.
That's the new generation for you. Graduates of the Participation Ribbon Academy.
Love this channel but as someone who's not an expert either I'd love if u could do a little more explanation on the "injuries" shown. Plz and thank u ❤️ loving the channel tho
Huh. A piston that turns. Must be one of those rotary engines 😂
"Well, good news, it's not the CV axle. Now, the bad news..."
When i was younger my stepfather gave me his SUV. One day me and my friends are sitting on the bumper and my friend remarks about the tacky decals i should remove. I agree and then we realize those tacky decals are covering bullet holes.
how did they get there tho..
Hold up...
Your stepfather must have an interesting past. I would consider getting rid of the car cause somebody might think your stepfather still owns it.
Some of these are truly mind blowing
These videos makes me want to put my car on jackstands and inspect literally everything.
6:04 how many babies were made in that one ? 😁
Okay so I did the same thing at 10:01 on my car and nearly took it into the shop. Like I even called the shop to tell them I was gonna be bringing it in. Before I called the tow truck though, I happened to remember that I had just put that decoration on. Took it off and the car started right up. Called the shop back right away and was too embarrassed to say what it was. Just said, "Hey nevermind, I figured out what was wrong and it's an owner malfunction and not a car malfunction."
@@wintersbattleofbands1144 Uh, yeah man. I had a 2005 Honda Civic. I worked three jobs and didn't have money to get a new car. Hope you feel super superior now, idiot.
The wasp nest one is just top of the line security.
Criminals dont respect people, but damn if they do hornets
The ONE thing of these videos that really grinds my gears: "Customer declines repairs" Customer is going to decline my foot in their ass...
Was going to do road trip from Canada to southern USA. Not feeling to hot about that idea after finding this channel.
Loved the recap, as I haven't seen them all yet. Your series reveals the painful fact that some people just ignore maintenance schedules, and drive their vehicles until they LITERALLY fall apart! I don't know how they survive driving some of these on the highway, however. :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
@12:03 "mom can we get racing slicks?" "we have racing slicks at home." *the racing slicks at home*
Initially I wanted to fly to the States next year. Then I found this channel.
It's amazing and at the same time also frightening, how many of these vehicles are on the road with clueless, sometimes indifferent drivers.
