#JudgeJudy
Her dislike from mechanics is showing through.
Dont be pitbull owner or a mechanic in Judys court... you're gonna lose
she has her mmind made up because she already read the case, both complaints, so she knows ahead of us,
Name a pitbull case where JJ was wrong tho@@k1leon
sorry JJ is so wrong about this, as a mechanic I can tell you, a valve cover gasket is no easy job. Many jobs like this might have a 20 or 30 dollar part, but the labor might take 5 or 6 hours.
She did the same thing with a photography episode.
I agree.
Plus she's going on and on about the Honda but he had to repair the accident damage on the other car to make it saleable. It's like the cleaning the fuel system JJ assumes you should just charge a bit for your time, he has to factor in the cost of the machine, the power to run it and the upkeep needed for a machine like that in case it breaks down or needs replacing. I know some mechanics are bad especially to women and rip people off, but so far he sounds like he helped her out.
Exactly and it's definitely not 900$ worth of work.
This mechanic is a scammer. The sheet given to JJ shows a Honda Pilot instead of a Honda Element. The K24 engine in the Honda Element is one of the easiest engines to work on. All 4 Plugs can be replaced within 20 minutes and the valve cover gasket can be replaced in under an hour. For the air filter, you will spend more time taking the filter out of the package than actually installing it. Work on a Honda Pilot is a bit more complex. Hence why the sheet shows 6 hours of labor instead 2-3 hours. The IAC cleaning is literally done by removing two screws and spraying IAC cleaner. Takes all of 15 minutes to complete. Also, talk to any real mechanic and they will tell you that "clean fuel system" is a fluff upsell job that doesn't do anything at all unless it is being done to clean out bad fuel or fuel that has been sitting for a year.
Also, no way in hell is a mechanic going to spend 2 hours diagnosing front end alignment issues. That's the same cost as having the actual front end alignment done.
Note, never go to court right before lunch time.
"You didn't repair it, you replaced it." For someone who claims to be well-versed with auto mechanics, JJ should know that sometimes a replacement IS a repair.
Yeah she is losing it. This is from a few years ago.....imagine how much worse she is now. Lately I've been watching, not to see how a case resolves, but instead to see how J.Judy will mess things up this time
Yesterday JJ had no problems with the lady who was charging a ridiculous $3,500 to install a ready-to-go upholstery kit in a Beetle. Today she's scrutinizing every line item from this mechanic lol.
She did have problems when she saw the shoddy work. She only awarded her a fraction of the cost she was asking for.
@@johnsmi213not really she said she quoted $3/$4 thousand. She had $790 and JJ awarded her $2000 or something like that if she returned the windows. So she got around $2800 total which is more than half of what she quoted at $3000 to $4000 and she didn't finish the job because he took it. So that's not bad. She is really biased against mechanics, probably because she sees so many shady ones.
@@lukerinderknecht2982 that case was awful lol
No, she got most of what she quoted. I wouldn't have. The job wasn't done.. his doing or not. @@johnsmi213
Aaron sounds like a good mechanic! I’m not sure why Judge Judy is going so hard on him!
Because she`s not always correct .
Mechanic crook exaggerated his worth of time
Takes few minutes to clean spark plugs
Gasket replacement isn’t that much
Ridiculus overblown labor
Should be no charge for filter plugs filter &…
$160 gasket replacement
Plaintiff got ripped off
@@stacystacy87 it could take minutes or it could take hours to get to the spark plugs, all cars are different, it depends where the spark plugs are located
She explains why: because in her experience mechanics inflate their invoices so she’s trying to figure out whether he inflated what he did here.
Because it's only her life experiences that she judges so many cases on. She has referred to having children and grandchildren dozens and dozens of time in a way to compare how they have been raised versus the plaintiff or defendant. She is simply an out of touch over paid ARBITRATOR. And she does it again now...comparing her mechanic experience with what should happen to every customer whose had their vehicles looked at by a mechanic. She is out of touch. How this went on for 25 years, I have no idea
She doesn’t understand how industry standard billing works in automotive repairs. Parts is one cost, and labor is another. She’s not taking into account the cost of his labor.
Sometimes a $30 dollar part takes a $100 dollar worth of labour to replace. Replacing a gasket can be a real pain, especially if the old one is stuck and you need to scrape it out and clean the cover.
Exactly🙏🏻
Not on a four cylinder Honda!!
The valve cover is front and center. Less than and hour to do tops. No stress no hassle my wife could do it
Spark plugs is right in the center of valve cover 1234 also less than an hour. And if he's a good mechanic he could have test them simple by pulling the wire off from the coil pack. Inspect and clean them?? Lol
If they need to be cleaned then he should replace them
Clean the fuel line is also a scam by most mechanics. Unless you have water or contamination in fuel in which case he would have changed the fuel filter also.
At most he poured a bottle of fuel cleaner in it.
Changing the air filter takes more time to open the hood then to change the air filter.
Cleaning the air system was also on his bill.. ??? WTH is that?
He essentially did a little very little routine maintenance for her a
He took advantage of her
And it don't take two hours to diagnose a front end alignment!! Two hours diagnose is the cost of actually doing it
Don't forget bro had both cars to work on. Js. Yes one was to sell but, the other was not. So that lady made out nicely. She didn't pay a dime to the guy. She got paid by her insurance. Gave both cars to him to fix just for the trade of one of the broken ones in which he'd need to fix to sell. I mean.. did he really make out? Not to me@@Charlie_Waffles83
She is a researcher and forgot to come to court with evidence 😅
And apparently doesn't make any money cuz her friend had to buy her tires🤦♀️
@@RhondaCady😂
@@RhondaCady Well, university researchers are rather paid low, but they do get living expenses covered on top of education benefits.
Dickhead😂
JJ is being too hard on him. I think he tried to help her. No good deed goes unpunished.
Sounds like JJ has already made up her mind and sees the mechanic as a bad guy, when in fact he's a good guy. She won't let him speak!
Part of the problem is every time he tries to answer a question, he goes off on a tangent with irrelevant information, such as “Her ex-husband … “
And he just did that twice. It’s like the old Dragnet TV show from the 1950’s - “Just -stick to- the facts, ma’am.” _Edited to correct my mistake, which was kindly pointed out by, and I wish to thank, @DravenGal_
@@PartyOf8Please Exactly!
JJ: (1:13) _"Tell me how you repaired the leaking valve cover?"_
AARON: _"I took the old one off, because, apparently- She had told me her ex-husband had tried to work on it, and he wasn't a mechanic. And so we had to replace the gasket..."_
JJ: (1:23) (eventually) _"Would you just answer my question? (__1:28__) You didn't _*_repair it,_*_ you replaced... You replaced a leaking valve cover. (__1:36__) How much did the valve cover cost you?"_
AARON: _"30 dollars as well, that's for the parts, but the labor-"_
JJ: *_"SHHHHH!"_*
Correct. It didn't take him a long time to fix the spark plugs for example because he knows how to do it from years of experience and having the right tools to do the job. That's why you pay these people, they have the experience and the tools to do it. You're not paying them for the 10 minutes it took to do the job, you're paying for all the years they had to learn their trade and all the tools they've bought and stored etc.
I think the point she was trying to make was that mechanics get over on people by doing a bunch of unneeded work they weren't asked to do. Judge judy heard "fuel system flush and spark plug cleaning" and knew the car probably didn't need any of that
I absolutely agree with you.This time she wasn't fair. People are
supposed to be able to present at least a little bit of their case Before you decide whether they're right or wrong.I don't know what her problem was today but she didn't come across as As firm and fair this time.. she came across as grumpy and unfair..
Judy sounds profoundly naive about basic car maintenance and the cost of labor.
She ALWAYS BRINGS PREJUDICE to her cases. She’s not objective. She lets her personal opinions and emotions decide her cases. I would never go to her.
Sometimes JJ is wrong and is hard on a person who doesn’t deserve it..
Even replacing a valve cover gasket takes some time. My sons are trained mechanics, it's not a 10 minute job. Don't think this man was trying to cheat her at all.
Even on a 10 minute job, you have to factor in all the time and labor it cost to give them the experience and expertise to make it a 10 minute job.
Judy knows nothing about cars 😂 probably drives a 2025 5 million dollar vehicles
The mechanic is legitimate. Judge Judy doesn’t know Jack about cars, and has a bias against mechanics and it shows.
“Bias” is an understatement “ she disregards his $$ time value
Judy is always complaining in other Car Repair cases: "You should have brought a mechanic witness here for me to ask! I only talk to an expert about what's wrong with your car". But when an actual mechanic comes on the show trying to explain the technicalities; Judy interupts him and doesn't listen?!😮 he is the expert on cars here!?😳
JJ's blind spot again! Cars
JJ doesn’t seem to understand that it takes time to troubleshoot and to arrive to a conclusion on what is wrong with it
JJ is annoying… she doesn’t understand engines or appreciates how long it takes to make repairs. 😡
I agree with the defendant, the plaintiff got her money from the insurance, if the plaintiff wasn’t happy, she should have done research and went elsewhere. Not all mechanics are sleazy, I have had a great mechanic until he retire and found another one. Best to ask from friends and family for references.
Used to be the lunch crew… last two years I’ve joint the mama crew who has a break while making breakfast by watching Judy! 😅👏🏼🙏🏼
It's still lunch time for me. The best part of my day! 😂🤣
I just had breakfast for lunch, so it’s all good 😉
Yay mama crew🎉
I am waiting for him to ask for his stapler
Ahhhh Milton 😂
Again, just because she's a judge she thinks that she knows all about mechanics. She'd be outraged if someone said "well I've watched hundreds of court programmes, so I know all about how much a judge should be paid".
Why is she grilling the Defendant about the costs? EVERYONE knows the labor is what causes an automotive repair bill to be expensive. I think something in the pretrial notes is causing her to question his billing. Because he's right, spark plugs are inexpensive. But--taking them out, cleaning them, and replacing them takes time. Part 4 should be interesting.
Have a feeling this guys is going to get destroyed in the next part haha 😂
Got a feeling we will not see next part :)
JJ doesnt even let this guy speak....
She shouldn't do cases anymore that involve any mechanical items. She clearly has no idea what she is talking about. Unfortunately not the first time this is happened.
shes annoying me with him. hes a good guy and he needs to get paid for his time.
Typical rich witch.
replaced is repaired
This was one of her cases where she couldn't be objective and fair. Maybe she shouldn't do any cases before lunch..
The labour is how mechanics make their money, I don’t understand why he is being grilled so hard
Judge Judy knows absolutely nothing about what it takes to repair a car and how much time it takes to repair a car. Maybe she should open up her hood and try to explain to people where valve covers and where spark plugs are at since they're obviously so easy to work on.
Labour cost for a trained mechanic are high. Lawyers bill at 100s per hour and she's making the guy seem like a criminal for making money
Some of them are, how long does it take to change spark plugs
Agreed. Mechanics have to pay for schooling (which never stops if you’re going to be a good mechanic), tools and equipment. School is expensive. Tools are expensive. Equipment is expensive - some of those diagnostic machines are upwards of $50,000. Labor charges on any kind of repair has to cover the mechanic’s time plus offset his costs to do the job.
@@dawnsparks9207 Depends on the car, some it could be a couple minutes some it could take hours because you have to take the plenum off first
Valve cover gaskets can be very labor intensive. This is typical on Hondas. I once had to replace a head lamp bulb, just the bulb, and I had to remove the radiator, alternator and several other components just to get to it. I'm no mechanic, but I know enough from experience not to even attempt working on a Honda valve cover gasket.
I don't get why JJ is on the Defendant's case. If the Plaintiff was naive enough to have such an agreement with the Defendant then thats her problem. She's a full grown adult.
I totally agree.
Because most mechanics like to rip people off
She's definitely on some bs. A trained mechanics time is valuable. It's not just about how much the parts cost
@@Jade_902 Not true . SOME mechanics like to rip people of , NOT most .
Unfortunately, JJ hates mechanics. She basically said so herself in Part 1 (except for one nice mechanic she knows)…. That’s sad because she now sees every mechanic who stands in front of her and thinks about the ones that she had dealt with in the past. She should listen to them with an open mind not prejudice.
The plaintiff doesn’t appear entirely honest.
“Dog poo.” Hahahaha!!
JJ doesn’t like to listen and “learn” she’s made up her mind. She’s ignorant about car repairs
Can’t even deal with this case, judge judy is way out of her league and totally clueless
Spark plugs can be cleaned and you check the gap also can tell you alot about the individual cylinders
The valve covers alone are a hell of a job.
One thing I hate about judge Judy is she takes her personal experience and makes it fact regardless of the situation in front of her. She was apparently scammed by a mechanic once so now every single mechanic is a scam artist. Even when her point of view is disproven, she will manipulate facts to support her view.. and if she can’t she screams and yells and throws a tantrum saying no no no I’m right it’s my show.. that’s not being a fact finder like she claims. The old judge Judy yes.. the new one.. no.
Been watching JJ for years. I've never seen a case where a mechanic was treated fairly.
That’s because most mechanics are shady people
@@Jade_902 That's a pretty ignorant statement. Sorry you feel that way
She doesn’t like mechanics charging what she considers to be “too much”.
Meanwhile, she is paid $900,000 per day!
You couldn’t make it up.
Changing valve cover gaskets is not some 5 minute process. Judge Judy acts like he did nothing just because the gasket costs $30. Now cleaning spark plugs is stupid but he got $900 for the other car. Did he do $900 worth of work? Probably more like $300 worth of work but this lady didnt have money to pay for $300 worth of work? Give me a break
JJ completely wrong on this one. If fixing a car was simply a case of ordering parts, we could all do it ourselves.
JJ bias is showing.
Pitbulls, people without jobs, people on disability support, and now mechanics. Her list of grievances grows.
The mechanic gave JJ a paper listing a 2005 Honda Pilot. The lady’s car is a Honda Element. He gave her a paper for a different car!!
Didn’t catch that 😂😂
@ when the camera shows the paper with the breakdown, it’s at the top.
Just saw it! 😂 typo maybe 😂
His time IS DEFINITELY worth something.
Just changing an air filter can take 20-30 minutes.
30 dollar part cleaning spark plugs can take another 20-30 mins in labor. 50 an hr sounds reasonable so that's 80 right there for two, what she seems very simple things.
The car was only worth 700-1000 bucks in FAIR condition, but it was in an accident!
She just hates this dude
Judges have to know a bit of every field !!!
Everyone is wondering why she’s such an ass to the mechanic, it’s because she is an ass. She never lets no one speak or explain because she likes to build her own theory or story in her mind, once she builds a story in her mind, she sticks to it even if it’s wrong. There’s been a lot of cases in her show that are unfair ruling because of this.
The girl behind his right shoulder is falling asleep.
2 hours to diagnose front end issues? 6 hours for ‘garage’?
Although I think that he did some work on the car(s) his explanations of the procedures, the prices he gave, and other various comments leads me to believe that although he may not be the worst case he DID a lot of padding to both labor time and materials costs, and perhaps did some unnecessary things.
It’s obvious that Judge Judy really does not understand the labor involved in engine repairs.
Jj automatically assume the guy was nice because he wanted something in return so shes definitely coming heavy
JJ is wrong here I’m sorry and she hates to admit when she is. This mechanic seems not only responsible but he helped the plaintiff and he’s truthful
Nah this guy is the real deal. Buncha haters.
She has plenty for tattoos, but none for transportation. Judy hates anybody who works on cars.
Love, Judge, Judy, but never never never take a car case in front of her. She just doesn’t know or understand cars.
She sure is irritable in this.
Im not a mechanic HOWEVER i have had enough vehicles to know the parts may be inexpensive but the labor can be tedious which costs alot od money. Depending on where the issue is u may have to take other parts a part to fix or replace something and then put it all back together.
Shame on you JJ
I believe the mechanic.
I wonder how much JJ gets paid for her time. Probably a lot more than a mechanic.
SEPARATE THE REAL FROM THE BULL........SH.....T😅 AH MECHANICS......dont you just love them😅
Labor in my garage is £75🤷♀️ if you don’t want it do it yourself🤷♀️ mechanic don’t get pay for hr🙈 why this people don’t have better knowledge?
Jj is soo disgusting towards mechanics it's a shame....she doesn't know nothing about basic things but doesn't want to give them the light of day
The mechanic is getting on my nerves. He needs to learn how to just answer a question instead of telling a whole story. Just answer the questions and stop making smart ass remarks to the judge! It's not helping his case.
Ahh, her bias is showing. 😳
When you get as rich as her, you have no idea how much things actually cost. She just drives her car in. Then Pays the bill.
I normally think judge Judy is pretty fair and firm but today I don't know what was with her. She wouldn't let the mechanic speak about the job he did or at least present a partial case. Its like she already made up her mind and normally I think her decisions are pretty fair. I don't think they were today in not letting him speak. And letting the other girl speak, but the mechanic was right..this girl got 2 times the original estimate the insurance was gonna to pay her because of him! so the fact that she's there complaining about what he did and didn't do to the other car that he was gonna sell anyways, is ridiculous.!
I love JJ, but she needs to stop acting like she is an expert on everything. All she sees with this guy is that he is scamming the plaintiff. JJ does not understand that, although some of the parts are cheap, there is a lot of labor that goes into the repair.
As a shop owner I can honestly say I disagree with a lot of what JJ is saying.
Sometimes spark plugs are REALLY HARD to get to and it can be up to 2 hours to be able to remove them because of how some cars are designed
No this is upsetting as someone with techs in my family she is being completely unfair , reseal cover , checking sparks instead of just doing plugs and wires he did it as well and as cheep as possible he really did help her , but it adds up fast and I think she denied the suspension and tires because she ran out of money and wants him to pay for the rest
Really dislike this case. JJ is wrong and unfair justice.
Jj gets car cases wrong consistently as she has zero automotive knowledge. Mechanincs never get a fair shake on this show
There are alot of shitty mechanics but my husband is a mechanic and ive learned quite a bit over the years. This guy actually knows what he is talking about. He was treated unfairly.
JJ trying so hard to not award the counterclaim on this one. lol
Im also an auto technician, and listening to the work he did are BS.
He doesn't even know what he is talking about. He would be the last ever technician I go to for car repairs lol 😅😅
This woman is why mechanics hate us women 🤦🏼♀️ that’s my opinion!
JJ putting car mechanics down. Not good.
A valve cover gasket takes a long time and they often charge by the hour. JJ is trying to minimize his work, that's not fair
Judy knows absolutely nothing about vehicles unfortunately
mechanics are more trustworthy then lawyers and charge less
This man literally a mechanic said the spark plugs were finger tight so I took them out cleaned them and put them back 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm not mechanic and A WOMAN and I know that's the dumbest shit IEVER HEARD!!!!!! If your a person that works on your own shit if you get oil in there and they are in decent shape is the only reason why to clean an put back but if he replaced the valve cover he should have also replaced spark plugs and coils bc anyone that knows messy shit with oil sometimes oil will collect inside of spark plugs!!! I gotta cackle out of that sentence FR!!!
that honda is worth about 3k now. no too bad for a 20 yr old car
JJ now has it against mechanics 🙄🙄. He can set his prices 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
JJ doesn't know about cars at all or just flat out hates mechanics. Back when cars had pushrod OHV motors, a valve cover gasket was a 30 minute job. With OHC motors, it could take many hours to do. The cost of the gasket is cheap, the labor is a lot more. Ask a transmission guy how much it costs to change a .50 snap ring inside a transmission...
Mechanics shouldnt go to judge judy.
not surprised plaintiff has an EX-husband
Some vehicles it cost about $200 just to change spark plugs but spark plugs are cheap. Why would he clean them and put them back in rather just get new ones?
Had my spark plugs replaced, not cleaned, for under $140 at jiffy lube.
😮 mechanics and pit bull owners should not go on JJ.
Judge Judy sounds extra irritated today. It must be sushi day.
I love JJ but you can tell she doesn’t know anything about cars 😅
Not sure how much room is under the hood to do the work, but a gasket replacement on the valve covers can be a pain.
Guy doesn't seem all that bad, as others have noted. As for the plaintiff, nice red dress!
2:18 this defendant has a motor mouth, and dog poo for gray matter. He launches into a freaking diarrhea monologue for every question Judy asks, and every question she doesn't ask. Question: How do you inspect a spark plug? Reply "Remove look for contamination and wear, damaged electrodes!" Question: How do you clean a spark plug? Wash with solvents and a brush.
Most garages have a pneumatic spark plug cleaner, I worked for Honda Suzuki dealer for a couple years, we had a spark plug cleaner, looks like big water fountain with a little brush on the end of a hose that sprays the solvent as you brush it. The crap goes into a trap.
This guy doesn't strike me as a dishonest mechanic. I own two Honda Elements so I know exactly what he had to do and what's involved in each repair....
The young lady plaintiff thought it was windfall day !!! The judge wasnt that hard on the defendent... she wanted to sus these litigants. Plaintiff soon found out its not windfall day.
