These videos are meant to be educational and funny, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
0:00 Intro - Click show more under the video to read more.
0:05 Not sure what other "mechanic" did this but the strut bearing plates could have been easily rotated to fit in the correct holes. Whoever did the work should not be touching vehicles as this is a fairly easy fix.
0:25 The Vehicle was sent to a body shop to fix the holes in the roof.
0:34 It looks like the customer fist did that damage.
0:43 If you drop a socket or tool while working on a car, try to look at it before putting things back together!
0:54 Easy fix!
1:03 The technician found the issue in the parking lot.
1:11 Easy fix at least!
1:22 The shop was confused by the customer would rebuild the transmission on a truck that needs a new frame/fixed.
1:33 No extra info.
1:45 A Subaru with an automatic transmission disguised as a manual.
1:51 The mechanic thinks it was actually the customer who did this.
2:02 The shop told the customer they would need to pay to have their vehicle diagnosed but she still tries.
2:09 Insurance wrote off the vehicle. Nissan Sentra.
2:23 A new gas cap was installed.
2:34 2012 Chrysler 300, came in about a noise in the front end, not the first time we've had this car in the shop previous times it came in with boiling coolant and a separated lower ball joint (declined repairs every time so far.)
2:50 The customer made a simple job a whole lot harder.
3:00 "A 2001 Buick Century, was changing the oil with my dad and tried ramps, I shot the ramps directly under the car and rolled up perfectly on them we had to use a jack to get it off them."
3:10 Outro. Thanks for watching!

The decorating episode? I have seen a few spirited Christmas themes rolling around. 🙃
You finally got me, the car ramp. Lol . I've seen alotta stuff, but the wtf man. (Just trying to lift the rear up dad) 😂
@@vs-ww7cbI did that same thing in nearly the same car (my mom's '99 Buick Regal) many years ago 😂
@JustRolledIn - FYI... Someone on RUclips is stealing your videos and reposting them as their own. Do not remember what they were calling theirs though.
if you have a link, please share. Thanks!@@Raiderhays37
the free diaog lady was priceless. the way she was just wandering around like it was a waste of her time that they werent already there.
That wound me up as well, crappy people sometimes 😢
I just hope every few minutes they shout over to her “Be with you shortly” or “Won’t be long” but never see her. Then close up shop and drive home at the end of the day if she is still there
She’s the type of customer that after the second or third free diag with no repair, you tell them to kindly take their non-business elsewhere.
They say the new generation are bad, this is the truth of that lie lol. Many years fly by with people that "assume " . Met many of this type in past few decades. 😅
I’ve seen people like this, I also like the ones who like to stand over you when you’re looking under the hood and start cleaning the leaves out of the cowl area Like suddenly they are good about taking care of their vehicles. Oh wait no, actually I hate those people, and all people for that matter!
Mechanic: Your vehicles motor is seized and you have no more wheels.
Customer: *declines all repairs and drives away*
Mechanic: Sir, this is literally just a can of beans...
Customer: *Declines all repairs and drives away*
I'm pretty sure we're only 2 or 3 JRI videos away from this interaction
@@HDL_CinC_Dragon 🤣
That explains the Flintstones.
But the radio still works, right?
I honestly feel bad for a lot of people who decline repairs because they're just fucking broke and I've been there. If it'll still roll you to work and you'll starve or not be able to pay rent otherwise you just have to risk it.
If that last guy was trying to put the rear wheel on the ramp, he's a genius!
Unfortunately he wasn't but that would have been awesome if he was lol
@@JustRolledInwe would do a fundraiser for that skillset. Lol
If you haven't shot a plastic ramp out from under a drive wheel you ain't a backyard mechanic!
@@ionymous6733lol
you sure? @@JustRolledIn
A hat rack?? OK, Mr Fancy Pants! Why can't you chuck them on the back seat, like the rest of us??! 😂
I laughed at that as well lol
Yep...then I wonder where all my hats went.
I wanted to see the hat rack!
@@geirmyrvagnes8718 same! No clip of it unfortunately
I’ve got 2 hat racks, they’re by the umbrella stand over by the side table. Doesn’t everyone? Peasants. 😂😂😂
Horn in the trailer connector is the best thing I've seen in a while. I know exactly who I'm doing it to lmao
I'm thinking hook it up to the turn signals so it doesn't start honking until he gets to the end of the street.
Edit: Second thought - that won't work. You have running lights, left turn and right turn and that's it. Brake lights just power both turn signals. It'll go off as soon as he steps on the brakes or unlocks using his keyfob no matter what.
One I did to my friend was zip tie a harmonica to the grill so that it made weird sounds as he drove
When cars had hubcaps a few rocks in the hubcaps were fun too
@@lilorbielilorbie2496I did this to a coworker with a brand new truck on the job site. Should have seen how fast he jumped out of the cab thinking he'd dropped half the engine out of it.
Edit: phone messed up spelling.
A co-worker installed a windshield washer nozzle under the dash of our boss's car, aimed at the drivers crotch. He then connected the washer pump to the nozzle. And then he wired the washer to come on only when the Torque Converter Clutch engaged. It took boss a while to figure it out, and he actually laughed about it. BTW, we all were mechanics.
I like the trailer connector idea, too!
The "another mechanic" excuse used to be my favorite clips, but now anytime self-tappers are involved, my new favorites.
I wonder what the ratio of a bad DIY job to bad/scam mechanic it is. Although the orange epoxy or whatever might've just been to get the person to where they needed to go, but the person may've insisted on such a repair over having it brought somewhere to do it with proper tools.
@@Aeduo There are long-term rig jobs and "get me the F- home" rig jobs. I've done some of all, but had no delusions as to how long they would last.
You know what they say, the best long term solution is a short term solution that works. I've done get me the fuck home Gerry rigs that I forgot about and didn't notice until years later.
I can think of a few better quick fixes for that thermostat housing that would have held longer and better than whatever kind of mess that was.
On a road trip the thermostat lost its wax on my Honda Civic. The Honda dealership broke both bolts that hold the thermostat cover on so they JB Welded it together without telling me on a freshly rebuilt engine...@@Aeduo
As another RUclipsr (AVE) said once: "There is nothing so permanent than a temporary repair"@@jokerzwild00
From fake shifters to broken frames, we really have it all here
Ngl that fake shifter is kind of genius if that was in the US. The thiefs that cant drive stick will stay away from that one
Don't forget all the "Customer declined repairs"!
Seriously, that needs its own counter at this point.
It's the sock in the gas tank for me
I own an automatic but I put a shift boot over it identical as in the video and it covers the PRNDL but I did it so my wife wouldn't ask to use my car anymore because she can never figure out if she is in neutral drive or low gear lol 😂
Last time she drove my car she backed it into a ditch
@@JohnHuxleySavage Had we seen that one yet? It felt new, but these videos have numbed me ...
The fake stick shift is actually BRILLIANT.
It's a great theif deterrent.
Only works if they have a fake clutch pedal too...
To be fair, it's not m exactly hard to 'drive stick'. Speaks to the mental capacity of most Americans really 💁🏼♀️
Even better if they got the petal emergency brake that look like a clutch
@alexcharles321 I hope you know that most cars sold in most countries are automatic
@@alexcharles321If people in your country are so smart, how come you don’t use your countries version of RUclips? Oh wait…your country doesn’t have any technology innovations to speak of, do they??
I always love how often people attempt to fix leaks with like 80$ worth of sealant or JBweld when a brand new gasket is like 2$
i had to replace my car’s oil drain plug when i bought the vehicle bc the previous owner had over torqued it and rounded it off and i was genuinely surprised how cheap an oil pan drain plug is. i got one of the magnetic ones that makes future oil changes easier but it was still right about $10
Had a 2001 Taurus that needed a $2 paper gasket...and 8 hours of labor to get to the gasket. (Videos on RUclips of that repair on the 3.0 liter V6 if you're curious). A bottle of K-Seal for about $10 did the trick.
90% of the time the gasket or bolts you need with crazy or unusual temp fixes it is becuase they are out of stock everyone locally and they'd have to wait days to get one in...but they need a vehicle and cant just wait around for it.
@@Raymo2u can confirm. A good fix now is better than a perfect one next week.
@@markh.6687 , I have one of those cars and I think if it's all that, it's best just to get another car that won't ever need that "8 hr repair."😂
How do these people take their car into a professional for a "trunk leak" without even looking in the gd trunk first?? like...c'mon
its that secret second engine in the trunk.
Don't you know the exhaust has cooling pipes and oil ducts?
That would require them to actually think.
Lmao
And they're somebody's co-worker, and can vote.
The sock in the filler is referred to as a Molotov Cartail.
😅😂
I see what you did there. But seriously 420 evap codes are no joke, 😂.
haaaa!
A former friend of mine lost the oil cap to her Eclipse, so her boyfriend jammed one of his dirty socks into the filler. I wasn't aware this had happened until she called me three weeks later to come take a look at her car that died on the side of the road. Most of the sock was now inside the valve cover, tangled up in the valves, and some of the valves were bent. Oh, and I found her oil cap, it was still under the hood near the passenger lower control arm, in plain view.
I offered her $750 for the car as-is, intending on replacing the motor and keeping it, but she instead had it scrapped for $200. 🤦♂
man she’s dumb like her boyfriend. very fitting
"Hey, something is leaking water! Could it be THE WATER I'm carrying in my trunk? Naah, probably the car is broken."
The guy with the hat rack is the same kind of guy you DO NOT let around tools or even let him look at tools!!
Indeed... like wow.
Look at the LENGTH of those self-tappers? How thick did he think his roof liner was?
Yeah, reminds me of the previous owner of my house... knew how to use a staple gun and a caulking gun and oh boy did he use them... instead of changing the gasket between the toilet and tank, he put 2" of caulking up the walls so he could have his own personal swimming pool without the downstairs neighbour complaining... and there were hundreds of feet of phone cable stapled around every doorway upstairs, and at least five staples went through the cables...
Type of guy that would buy a brand new car and do that to it...
2:42
“The customer always declines repairs and never fixes the issue.”
Let me introduce you to right to refuse. I had someone like this back in the day. About the 4th or 5th time I told him never to come back. And when he did, I refused service. When the police got involved, we showed them our inspection history with this customer and had him escorted away. Pretty sure his car got impounded given the laundry list of issues the police saw in our reports.
I hope they make them sign something stating they refused service
Amazes me, and my lawyer, when police get involved in civil matters.
By the way you should all keep in mind that JUST A DIAG is also a service that the shop offers. You don't *HAVE* to accept repairs. It's completely normal.
Driving in a lane next to you..be afraid...be very afraid.
@@daniel.s.stefanov Its not normal where the vehicle is unsafe and should not be on the road in the first place. Do what sometimes happens in the UK. Garage calls the cops. Tells owner they have temporarily mislaid the keys. Cops arrive and tell owner if he drives the car, it will be impounded and he will be prosecuted or they wait down the road and stop him, etc.
Many years ago we pranked our boss. Got leads and jumpered his turn signal and brake switch to his horn. He laughed so hard driving home he said after he figured out what we had done. Best part he told us was when one of the other supervisors said he would have fired us he said none of his guys were smart enough to figure such a thing out, what a great boss!
Friend of mines dad jumped his wifes reverse lights to the electric trunk release on her brand new car and waited for the fallout, he then told her he had no idea what was wrong and she should take it to the dealer. The service writer was actually a friend of his and rang shortly afterwards to "thank " him for the abuse he just recieved.
That first example shows that it’s not just the “customer states” types that exhibit extreme stupidity, but there are mechanics out there that do the exact same thing. The difference is that you laugh at the first and you hate the second.
The "other shop" is probably the customer or his buddy Bubba who can "fix" anything for a case of PBR.
@@sylviaisgod6947
Actually I can’t argue with that possibility.
Given the “mobile mechanic” drilled new holes for the strut mounting I wouldn’t put it pased them to drill new holes in the water pump to help it fit 🤦♂️
As long as it's in the water jacket, it'll be fiiiiine.
How is it easier to drill new holes than to just twist it 25 degrees?? Unless they bought the wrong struts and the bolts were further out from center than the holes on the car?
@@stephen3164 I mean, if you're to the point of drilling new holes, drill them in the part you're trying install, not the car. At least then there's hope of someday fixing it correctly.
That was 100% the owner that did it. It’s always the owner, (unless they show me the receipt).
As a mobile mechanic for 20 years and worked in a shop before that, these idiots really make me mad as it gives mechanics a bad reputation. I refuse to modify a vehicle just so the part fits. I worked for a shop once that did this crap and I just walked off the job. My reputation is more important than their shoddy workmanship.
I love the "leaks" and the "friend just installed " portions of your videos. Seeing these idiots makes me feel like a genius. Thanks.
I fear for my life knowing there are this many idiots on the road driving multi-ton vehicles at speed.
Nothing says professional install like self-tappers drilled through the roof!
But dangit, they're not coming loose, are they?? 😁
Can't argue that! @@markh.6687
And blobs of red silicone!!!
I'm curious what the "correct" way to install roof accessories would be. The sensible part of my brain is saying "you fn don't" but...
@@tsm688 There are (usually) some roof cross-members which can be screwed to from inside the vehicle. Otherwise external mounting of roof racks, light bars, etc. may require door jamb or rain gutter mounts.
If that guy keeps bringing his car in but not getting repairs done, maybe charge him a whole lot more.
That woman who wants free diagnostics will also tell young people that the reason they can't buy a home is because they drink Starbucks and eat avocados.
And there's probably nothing wrong with her car.
@@WastedTalent- I dunno I can see one problem with her car from here. There seems to be a short circuit between the driver's seat and the steering wheel
Definitely looks like a Karen.
@@NoName5589😂
Omg! I thought if I pulled in here and popped the hood they'd come help me, what a bad place! Negative reviews on doordash !
0:43 Another 10mm socket mysteriously disappeared 😂
2:02 Perhaps one of the more aggravating clips. I know of a few people like this. They put way more time and effort into trying to get a freebie than just paying.
I'm with you there brother
just have some fun ... "it's the catalytic belt.... because the tension regulator is sleeping at TDC ...." and ask a co-worker what he think about that ...
the best is when they come back ^^
I'd charge her for parking in my lot. Why are you here? Either you're a customer or you aren't.
I truly wonder how many of those "other (unnamed) shops did this shoddy work" really translates to "I'm the problem I just can't admit it"?
Usually its the customer, but I have been scammed on a road trip with a thermostat cover JB Welded on a recently rebuilt engine by the Honda dealer because they broke the hardware...
A customer where I worked was charged for a rebuilt 1600 dual port for their VW Westy on a road trip that literally turned out to be made out of junk engine parts. They barely made it home. Two of the cylinders were for a 1600 and two were for 1650 aftermarket. Half the exhaust studs were broken, the oil appeared to be 50 Weight and it only got worse from there so we stopped disassembling it as it wasn't even a decent core...
Basically they made an engine out of the customers blown engine and another blow engine they had, but charged them top dollar for a rebuilt engine. Fortunately they paid with their credit card and they helped fix that repair shop for their fraud...
My old mechanic teacher used to share scam stories with the class from his days. Not things he did, but things he witnessed himself. People are willing to rip you off in any industry, so it's no surprise many of these are true.
1:45 Anti-Theft Device. Disguise the Automatic Shift Lever, to appear as a Manual Shift Lever. They need an Anti-Theft Sticker on the windows - This car is Manual Shift.
3:00 , I am impressed! That was a good stunt to get those ramps tossed backwards and to get the rear wheels up on to them! LOL 👍
Guy with the plastic ramps at the end of the video could not have done that again in a million years. Absolutely perfect!
I loved it , first one made me spit lol.
I honestly thought he was going to accelerate again into the garage wall 😅
-- Nice move with the ramps at the end. I half-ass liked it.
The other day, my neighbor had the hood up on his brand new Toyota Sequoia. First I thought he'd killed the battery when he left all the interior lights on the night before, and started to walk over to offer him my jump pack. Then I saw that he was stripping wires under the hood with a box knife, and twisting them together. I backed away slowly, went inside, and made myself a cup of tea. Not getting involved in that mess if I can help it.
Neighbor woman approached me while I was mowing the grass and asked if I could help her husband who was having trouble starting the car. I walked over and the husband told me that the car was running rough so he pulled the spark plug wires off to inspect them and when he put the wires back on the car would not start. I asked him if he had the firing order correct and he replied, "Firing order?" I just backed up until I disappeared into the bushes like Homer Simpson.
@@MrSloikaWell, at least it doesn't run rough anymore.
That must have taken him a week to sawsall through that hitch 😂
He probably went through a dozen blades too.
@@oldsguy354 what's worse. The mechanic probably charged less to knock that pin out for him than a new hitch costs.
That horn attached to the trailer wire is going into my permanent "to do prank" book.
And these people have drivers license 😂😂😂
I wouldn't bet on it!
And rapidly reproduce and vote 😂
Yes, and as proven by 2016 are more than willing to vote as well
Driver license is a minimum requirement.
This compilation was so hilarious. The fake automatic manual, the freeloader, and sliding ramps. I never knew there was so much drama in the auto repair business!
You have no idea. This is just the stuff we can show you.
I bet the boot covering the gear selector is meant to detour thieves. As a lot of people can't drive manual shift cars
The guy who spun the ramps from the front to the rear tires should have played it cool and said, "i meant to do that"...😆
I have quite low confidence which means i dont attempt anything harder than an oil and filter change and do think about the money I'd save if i could do more myself and less use of garages. That said, I've watched all these videos and ive decided i have enough expertise and confidence to set myself up as a mobile mechanic. Coming to a neighbourhood near you soon!
I've performed many oil changes, but these days I just do filters and wipers and correct the tire-inflation (always correct the tire-inflation after any mechanic visit).
Got griped at over not installing a family members wiper blades, I said these don't fit this vehicle, they bought them for that years vehicle. Split year design. Lol.
So, you could install a t-stat housing just as well as the guy at 1:51? Will you make house calls to Phoenix?
Brake change should be an easy job, drum brake is a bit intimidating but pretty simple, remember when you change your brake do the rotor and grease the guide pin, youtube and google is your friend, they have bunch of video and forums for parts
I’ve been a me mechanic for over 30 years and the most difficult automotive repair I have ever done is wiper blades. There are at 3000 different ways the stupid things go on and each package comes with adapters for 20 different applications that are just slightly different from each other.
When you want to show everybody you're cool and drive a stick shift and you really can't. 😂
This is considered cool among some people? To me it's a life philosophy and I hate automatics.
thats a great anti-theft device
It actually might be a pretty effective theft-deterrent device!
@@Yonkage-ik5qb How? I see kids driving manuals all day, every day. You can't miss the rev limiter noise.
@@WastedTalent-how do you know they are driving manuals other than hitting the rev limiter?
I've literally done that last clip before working on my old Expedition. Except I had them on the rear wheels and they shot down the drive way 😂
I always feel better about myself after watching these videos.
Until you go down the road and realize the other people are driving death traps all around you.
Sshhhhhh@@TheLeedog83
@@TheLeedog83 Or driving good cars, but they should be tested psychiatrically even to walk the sidewalk
No matter how dumb you think you are, remember there's always several people WAY dumber.
One of our customers bought a car from us and within a week hit a badger and smashed all the front bumper in. She was then “utterly disgusted” at the after sales as it wasn’t covered under warranty.
Should have just pulled up a "honey badger don't care meme " print that hand it to her. 😅
“The customer always declines repairs and never fixes the issue.”
Hence the wisdom of the non-refundable estimate fee, applicable to the repairs.
Gotta love the automatic transmission identifying as a standard. 😂😂😂
You can be anything you want these days evidently!! 😂😂😂
Ahh yes the good old, "the costumer declined repairs" has to be the cause of the many death traps driving around.
3:00 That's how f***ing pros do a high speed alignment check.
Always love your videos. Anytime I start feeling stupid I can just watch one and feel smarter right away!
That faux gear shifter was an anti-theft device.
Yes captain obvious
Actually, I didn’t know that. That’s pretty interesting. I don’t know anybody today who can actually drive stick anymore besides myself and a couple other relatives..
@@cenciende9401 how is that obvious?
@@Fools_RequiemI think maybe in America. Not obvious here in Australia and definitely not obvious in the UK.
Wouldn't have guessed that myself, I was assuming it was there to look cool.
"My exhaust was leaking oil"...I'M WEAK 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I would love to see customer complaints from other people like shoe store.
Customer states: Their feet hurt when walking in shoes
Shoe store: The store tell customer the shoes are too small but the customer decline service to buy more then walks away with small shoe
Funny enough, I just ordered a new pair of shoes in a larger size. Guess my feet are spreading out in my 40's.

@@xanderg1957 😀😀
There's an entire documentary series about that. I think it's called "Married... With Children".
Just when I thought I’ve seen it all….a sock for a gas cap!🤣🤣🤣
@davidgerow That used to be a lot more common than you might think. Before cars monitored such things.
@@patrickperry6945 I’ve seen people use rags years ago, but never a sock. Lol
That free diagnostic lady should go to an auto store for that.
The chain auto stores are a constant source of misery to auto techs. People go to those stores for 'free' diag. The kid at "Advance Zone" hooks up the code scanner, tells the customer that the car has a code for 'Fill in the Blank' and proceeds to sell the customer the part that is suppose to correct the problem. The car owner than drives to a repair shop and says, "No diag. Just install the part I supplied." When the car is not fixed, and it rarely is, it's the auto tech's fault.
Customer states, "I am an idiot with cars and am smart enough to have professionals do it'. NOT.
0:39 "Appears to be scratched" LMFAO!
Like he doesn't know that was from him punching it - repeatedly 😂
Love that scratched touch screen
i.imgflip.com/3bkf85.jpg
I thought I had seen it all with your earlier videos, but this one has some real gems! Thanks.
I know it will never happen, but how great would it be to see the customer reactions to some of these when the mechanic tells them what’s up 😂
@JustRolledin I would start encouraging mechanics to start filming customers when showing them the solution to the problem. Like customer pushing the keyhole on the glove box. Mechanic pushes button to open glove box. Pan camera over to stupid customer’s face so we can all see the embarrassment, anger and frustration. Good times.
Saw an angry lady trying REALLY HARD to pull her automatic door open on her minivan. My boss tried several times to stop her but she wasn't having it. She glared at him and with one finger he touched the handle. The door slowly trundled closed. She loudly exclaimed, "...No, but... It... Wait..." Then when the door clicked closed, she hopped in, reversed, then left an 11 out of the lot.
0:30 of all the things I've seen people badly install in their car, a hat rack takes the absolute cake.
Usually a quick diagnosis is free for regular customers, as long as they have it repaired subsequently. If not, it is nothing less than fair that they have to pay for the diagnosis.
How do people even get those cars and trucks, with frame rust that bad, into the air? I've always been taught you've got two places to put a lift arm; pinch weld, and frame. If the frame crunches, it's scrap.
The fake stick shift killed me. *LOL*
Hate to tell hat rack guy, but there is one available that fits over the top of the seat. No holes required! That truck frame still has 100k left on it!🤣👍👍 Horn trick is pure genius!
i swear these videos give me so much anxiety but I keep watching
Me too. These people are on the road with the rest of us.
That "wanting a free diagnosis" is just effing pathetic. Call the cops for the trespassing and ban the "customer" from the store.
To be fair she doesn’t come into the store.
I'll see you and raise; the guys who keep coming in and declining repairs, clearly wanting freebies.
@tranz2deep that's why you charge a diagnostic fee.
'appears to be scratched'
There's a mighty understatement!
Slightly scratched! haha
Wow...they did the damage to themselves and wants warranty to pay it.
No way.
You'd be amazed. Worked as a service manager for a powersports dealership. People would show up with their brand new Polaris Razr or whatever rolled into a ball, then throw a fit when I explained the difference between warranty and insurance....
Next door neighbor bought a 2-stroke string trimmer at a big box store and straight gassed it first time out of the box. He had a hissy fit when the store refused to refund his money.
Ugh. So we were dealers for Cub Cadet and the only authorized service center for the entire region. People would buy their Cub Cadets from big box stores because they were cheaper than what we sold, then expected us to take care of their issues. Saw a few seized up motors from lack of premix.. @@MrSloika
The stuffed sock in the gas neck was one match stick away from becoming a movie trope.
3:00 When you finish the oil change and want to take a look at that muffler hanger next
If you ever start using clips as reactions to other clips … please hang on to the “oh no!” At the end here.
I’d love to hear that pop up from time to time.
1:30 Only about 25% of that frame is rusty. The remaining appears to be thin air...
I also found the description of "rusty" to be quite generous.
The one with the horn hooked up to the trailer connector was hilarious.
2:30 "Stuff a sock in it, bub!"
This one had pretty much every type of clip that keeps my faith in the humanity at an all time low, so thanks for that I guess
I think you need to give awards at year's end in each category for the best of the best, the worst of the worst, and the dumbest/ballsiest people.
That would be a tough job, they're all over the top...
"screen appears to be scratched.." 🤣🤣🤣💀
2:25 I knew I recognized SSM3 when I saw it. I'm not even surprised, Subaru owners are a different breed. 😂😂
The ramp at the end was wild. I have the same ones but use them on my rough driveway so this seems unlikely to happen. It never even crossed my mind that this was a possibility but a smooth garage floor and a front wheel drive car is all it takes, I suppose.
I had bigger metal ones launch forward in winter every time i stopped the car on them haha. Had to anchor them by pounding metal spikes into the ground to get them to stay put.
Im really anstonished at how many people have "leaking" vehicles and its just jug of something laying in their back seat or trunk.
Doesn't say much for the rest of their life diagnostic skills does it.
I know right. How brain dead are these people that they don't even check the bottle of water in their trunk.
1:45 If the customer is from USA he just installed the cheapest & most effective anti theft system he could possibly install. 🤔
Instead of learning how to drive manual, just fake it. 😂 1:46
Your videos make me feel like the smartest person in the world. 🙄😂
1:11 I can almost understand that! Although I'd like to think I'd be smart enough to try the separate bit next to the lock to see if it's a button... But maybe I'm just overestimating myself.
Try it when loaded !!
Unload weight on tongue, cut lock off. Jacks , stands, ect. Is funny tbf.
@@practicalplinking6133 loaded with what...?
Whatever the bartender gave ya before he cut ya off !!@@Greippi10
@@Greippi10 Booze??
That front to rear ramp transfer was so smooth.
She had the karen cut and everything 🤣🤣🤣
Look, I’ve dropped things where they shouldn’t be before but I don’t get how you can just be like “oh well, I’ll leave it in there.”
keep the shifter cover and put in a fake third pedal and you have yourself a good anti-theft design
I’m not even a mechanic. I’m a nurse and I love this channel. Reminds me that idiots are not just in healthcare.
That ramp-shot at the end got a genuine LOL 🤣
On the one hand, i enjoy seeing how bad things can get, it reminds me that in funny have it that bad, on the other hand it's terrifying these vehicles are on the road
that last clip at the end with the ramp... that takes some serious skill xD
Imagine having 5 or 6 water jugs in the trunk and when you see water you immediately think the car broke.
Screen scratched? That’s a big ass scratch
Only yesterday I wanted to switch from summer tires to winter tires, but rather stopped, as the jack access point is a little rusty and gave me some suspicious crunch while lifting. It's only slightely concerning, as it's a tiny bit of side frame, and compared to what we use to see here, I am perfectly fine. Many frames shown here have basically rusted down to 1/3 of their original mass. Show such a thing to a German car inspector and you will see a grown man cry in the corner.
those car inspections in Germany.. ugh! My daughter in law visited the USA finally and when she left said, "I want a big American truck with rust on it."
Here you hit the frame with a ball-peen hammer and if it dents or deforms it fails inspection.
@@grandrapids57 The Japanese 'shaken' car inspection requirements are notorious. It's almost impossible to legally keep a car on the road in Japan that's more than 10 years old.
@@MrSloika That is for sure. During the 90's the Russian were importing a lot of Japanese cars until the Russians passed a law against right hand drive cars. It was a good outlet for them instead of sending them for scrap. The inspections business there and in Germany these days is far out of date and large economic burden. In Germany they also make every car owner have two sets of tires which must be changed by a certain date of the year-- there is no such thing as all season tire use there.
@@grandrapids57 There is actually no such thing as an all seasons tire in Countries where seasonal conditions are significantly different.- it is an advertising gimmick designed to fool the gullible.
Couldn't be the 12 water jugs in the trunk, nope, not even worth checking, and I resent your line of questioning.
hey, that shifter boot on the automatic might be the best theft deterrent of 2023! Big brain!
I wonder if the horn prank was done by someone that knows me. I put something very similar together years ago and put it on my boss's truck. Instead of a horn I used a back-up alarm.
K-Dog? That you?
Damn dude you're not the only one living in this world.
I’ve seen enough accounts now to advocate not using self-tapping crews having its own Commandment.
The cup in the burned car at 2:10 was the "Mighty" size cup from Speedway. I do not know which locations are still using the old cups, but several Speedway locations (the local one in my region of the Atlanta suburbs, for example) have been bought up by 7-11 and have switched over to Gulp cups. As far as the insurance company declining coverage, I can't really blame them. People should not smoke and fall asleep, be it in bed, on the couch, or in the car.
In the video, he said “they wrote off the car”. That means they did cover it, totalling the car.
That customer made the ultimate Molotov cocktail with the sock.
Women wants FREE diagnosis....she's gona have to be ALOT younger and WAY hotter to pull that off!!
