"Honestly, i don't know anything about cars"
Is pretty much the worst thing you can say to a mechanic.
Whenever I go to a mechanic I google how much it would cost first lol
If you do know a lot about cars that's a good way to test if mechanic can be trusted
Just like telling a cop “I was only going 5mph over the speed limit” 😂
@@pawerutyna8357 My thoughts exactly. I went to a mechanic one time with a transmission issue, but I had just changed the fluid and filter the week before. So when they tried to tell me it looked like the fluid had never been changed, I knew they were dishonest and I left
Also never say you're not in a hurry to have it fixed. That just makes them take their sweet time. When you go to a mechanic you ALWAYS need it done ASAP.
Totally failed. They didn't tell her to change her wheels winter air to summer air.
If you don't change the air every 6 months your wheels could get STUCK IN TIME!
@@peterk7428 #Facts
$20 in parts and $30 in labor
I mean... if you live in a cold place your tires should lose pressure in winter so.. I know semi drivers will change air pressure moving north/south
@@benjaminr8961 That's a good thing to tell people when they think you are pranking them.
Those mechanics have the cleanest shirts I've ever seen.
Just noticed. And they are wearing white too 😂😂😭
It's the cleaning of the goo, goo is strong acid like liquid, much like bleach, hence it's white, has washed away all the colours of the shirts
For the prices they charge, they can buy a white Louis Vuitton shirt every day instead of washing.
It’s because the Yoa Ming needs to be replaced
@@uabir8338 I thought it was blue
$45 for the part, $873 for the labor. Sounds about right! 😂

almost as bad as dentists
@@sinyud amen
I like how the boyfriend wasn't even mad cause he knows he's guilty of doing the exact same
Actually autobody guys don’t work on engines, especially Shawshanks that need redemption
Yea except he gets the scammers union rate of $19.50 all in by showing his membership card
Good old capitalism
Never say "I don't know anything about cars" to a mechanic
Similarly, never say " I don't know anything about this " to any concerned authority looking to fix the problem, in general . Most of the time , it goes horribly wrong
I always say that when I see a new mechanic. I'm no expert but I know enough to see when they are trying to screw me.
Don't go to a shitty mechanic and they won't try and take advantage of you.
@@velocityy1 Don't even drive and eliminate the middle man. Checkmate.
@@lw1878 Lmao!
wouldn't trust no mechanic wearing a clean white T shirt
I know it's a comedy video but service writers are a thing.
But some take it a step too far , not even washing their hands before heading to the near store. Like , okay we get it that you work , but no need to touch everything with dirty ass hands.
As a once ASE master technician and certified diesel technician, I always work coveralls and gloves to keep myself clean. Customers don't want to see a greaseball getting out of their car and at reputable shops, we would end up with a cleaning bill. Granted there was a smudge or two on my face if I couldn't wash up before a face-to-face but I take being clean as a sign of being a professional.

Oh how can they forget the blinker fluid issue
I was expecting that one too!
Right!
and the tyre fixing screws.
This is how my wife feels when she had to go to the mechanic shop. I've been a mechanic for about 25 years, just like finding a doctor that you trust, find a mechanic that you trust.
That's sad. I live in the 3rd world , in a small village. The village is known for mechanics and painters , everyone with their respectable small business yet none of us screw their customers. It kind of amazes me that in the first world they'd do that. But , yes , if you visit the big "authorized service/dealerships" , prepare to go broke. They'd do that. And even worse , they often hire absolute clueless people who have no idea what are they even doing there and why they applied for the said job.

Ahh so your saying your wife doesn’t trust you!! I get it….😜👌👌😂😂😂
@@cyrusumberger5285 cute. It made sense only in my head.
Unfortunately no that wasn't the case. I ended up in prison for a few years so it was left up to her to maintain the cars while I was away.

This is why you need a good doctor, a good mechanic, and a good lawyer in your life at all times.
"Your Block Chain is oozing Yao Ming" LOL
Shout out to Tony and the Polyjuice Potion.
1:00 "How much is that?"
"Well, you'd be looking at like $45.00 for the part and $873.00 for the labor."
That was such an underrated line.
I thought he said $8.73 :D
Btw folks, dentists are not a whole lot better than mechanics.
I went to a dentist once that said I had 4 cavities, and was going to cost me a fortune, and they absolutely do not take insurance, and no dentists in the state take insurance and this is as good as it’s gonna get. I knew something didn’t sound right at all, so I left. I looked up the reviews online and seen this place was a nightmare. Went to a good trusted dentist afterwards, and only had 1 cavity and insurance covered all of it. So the original dentist was just going to start drilling random holes in my mouth just to make money….. 🤦♂️
@@dr.penguin9412 that's fucked up
@@dr.penguin9412 Thats fucked up. Could be reason for suing had he done it. Filling a "fake'" cavity will weaken the structure of the tooth unnecessarily if I'm not mistaken. Wow. What an ass!
@@dr.penguin9412 I had the opposite experience. Had a lot of bad pain in a back molar and was told I need a root canal. Lady went in, noticed the pulp wasn't exposed and did a pulp cap instead. Saved me hundreds and hundreds of dollars. tthe tooth is pain free after the pulp cap! I was very surprised and grateful that she acted with integrity. And it cost me me like $60 compared to the thousand or so for canal and cap.
You are correct sir
The funniest line is when she says "What?" at the end. She's finally realizing what the knob-jobs are up to and is dumbfounded. Nikki you are one of the funniest ladies in the Tube and I can't get enough of you. Keep on crankin out that good stuff
As a mechanic of five years, this is eerily accurate
😂😂😂
That look the mechanic has when she says she doesn't know anything about cars was sublime @0:30
"These gaskets is soft. Gaskets are supposed to be hard"🤣
He said "Her Shaw shank needs redemption." 👏👏👏 Bravo.
They forgot to check your blinker fluid levels. They get pretty low, pretty fast.
yeah they only get about a couple hundred blinks per application
So accurate! It's always hilarious when mechanics try to rip you off, thinking you know nothing about cars, while you stay silent and smile. 😈 Parents, always teach your kids about cars.
And if parents know nothing about cars?
@@linuxforged8936 Encourage your kids to learn, and maybe learn yourself. The internet is a wonderful resource.
@@cinders2894 Yeah. In todays world it's best not to have any kids, you'll be doing them a favour.
@Asd Asdg Yeah, it was much better back when famines were common, medical care was based on guesswork and infant mortality was an every day fact of life for families - now *those* were the days when you could _really_ raise a child!
@@linuxforged8936 AGREED. I am an anti-natalist for that reason.
As a career retired master tech I
often go in with my family and friends to "consult". Dealerships and garages change their tune pretty quickly. The truth comes out and cost goes down lol.
here I write clickbait for u
'mechanics hate him for this one simple trick'
You don't even have to know a damn thing about cars all you got to do is go into the dealership with a dirty Ford, Chevy or Dodge hat on and have some grease on your pants or shirt and they're going to deal with you far more fairly than if you go in there any other way.
@@bobbyhempel1513 lol I'm gonna try it next time
He said "it looks like your Shawshank needs redemption too" lmao 😆🤣
Love how the boyfriend understood what they were doing knowing he does the same thing lmao
I needed to have my van's sliding side door repaired after it fell off the van. I called a dozen car shops, and only one said they would even attempt it (the rest said they had no idea how to fix it). That one wanted about $650 to do the job (4 hours labor, the rest "parts"). I went onto RUclips, and found a 10-minute video showing exactly what to do. I watched it three times, bought the one part needed (a roller assembly for $90), and spent the next twenty minutes doing it myself (successfully). I saved myself $550, and confirmed that most mechanics are crooks.
The 4 people that disliked this video had to pay for their Shawshank to get Redemption and that Polyjuice potion.
Shouts out to Montez, I bet his wife is back there giving OTPHJ’s
A man of culture
Ohhh shit I just realized that was Him!!! his wife was awesome!!!! Workaholics was the Goat.
Erik Griffin - his stand-ups are insanely good
Hell yeah, brother.
I thought I was the only one to recognize him 🤣 I'm so glad I'm not alone.
I feel like she made this video because this actually happened to her in real life. Happened to me too. 🤦🏻♂️😡
This has been happening for centuries- this isn’t anything new.
@@deezelkane what about those who barely learned how to drive and don’t know anything about car? Guess they should just know everything about cars and scammers right away without actually learning or experiencing about them. Lol
@@painepunk8947 it not hard to learn the basics of ur car
Those quick lube places are the worst. I sent my wife for an oil change and filter when she got there they said she needed a trans flush and air filter. She called me luckily and I told her to relay the message. Go pound sand. I no longer send her in to get that done. Haha
They also upcharged her for the oil change by 20$
@@painepunk8947 you don't have to be an expert, but you should know enough to not get punked. And if you really don't know anything, chances are you do know someone who does and is willing to at least take a phone call and discuss whether or not you're being scammed.
For example, you should know if your wiper blades need to be changed and if you think that you're being punked asking mechanic to show you exactly what is going on, on your car while it's on the lift. Any self-respecting mechanic will gladly show you and explain to you why it needs to be replaced or repaired. If they aren't willing to do that, run.
"De dust"....Counterstrike reference! Lol 2:45
The “goosepipes are so expensive” got me good
2:28 - "And it looks like her Shawshank need Redemption, too."
"And your block chain is just oozing Yao Ming." I lost it. LMFAO
I cant believe they didn't point out that her occulator isn't occulating, causing low pressure in the nozzle compressor!
The Marine at the end is possibly the funniest part. Anyone who was ever in the military knows that story
That shit annoyed me so much as a Marine cuz it’s true. 🤣🤣🤣
OMG.. Erik Griffin (the mechanic with glasses). I loved him in Workaholics. So cool you got him in your video!
For those wondering, if you do an oil change yourself, it should cost around $29-$40. It all depends on the type of oil and oil filter your car needs. And that’s it.
And always change your blinker fluid.
Don't forget to rotate your wiper blades, swap out the tire's summer air for winter air, and drain the coolant in the winter so the engine doesn't freeze.
Have you done it in real life or just heard it or red it in theory? Tsk
@@jamie3226 yeah… I’ve changed my own oil and multiple other friend’s cars in the past couple years.
The blinker fluid is a TOTAL fact tho.
Gotta grease the brakes too
What's really sad was I did not immediately realize the blinker fluid thing was a joke. I was like, oh God, what is that? I haven't had that changed at all in my car that I know of. lol. I hate cars.
Love it how her boyfriend had to play along cos he's the mechanic also 🤣
Working for an autobody shop doesn't really mean he's a mechanic though.
2:01 I loved that laugh 😁
"well for now" is a mechanics way of saying "please spend more money"
As a mechanic, this shit is 100% true
Bruh this is me when I go to my dentist.. all I want is my regular teeth cleaning .
But you’ve got soft corroded gaskets and they make faulty hoses which causes leaks and oozes…
"30K"?
Him: "It really do be like that sometimes.."
But when the mechanics computer stops working, the tech guy takes them to town. It’s the Circle of life.
Oh, it needs new ram, cpu, probably could use more cores, and that motherboard's gonna need some polyjuice potion definitely
Definitely needs to be water cooled
@@nifemi_o It needs more RAM. 1 stick of PC DDR3 2GB memory should do it. But this 1 stick of 2GB RAM costs £149.99. Speaking from experience. Hahah
Oh no you need a new ssd coz your hard drive it's very noisy & cranky, your ram is corroded needed new ram, your screen is blue coz you don't have a graphics card gotta order a new one & motherboard is dead coz of short circuit that too new all this including labor cost you around 8k & for sweetner I'll throw in Windows os(pirated one 😂🤣😜)
Your floppy disc isn't floppy enough
Your Shawshank needs redemption...lol
I honestly love when mechanics do that, I go for a routine oil change. Then they tell me what's wrong what needs to be replaced thinking they'll make a quick buck. Next thing you know I change it myself.
My last 2 oil changes I was met with a list of problems that currently totals around $5000 +. Each time they keep adding to the list. Its been 2.5 years and nothing has gone wrong. Maybe eventually my car will collapse to the ground, but at least then I will KNOW there is something wrong. I should get an inspection done at another shop and see if they find the same problems.
This is why I am glad my step-dad and his dad are mechanics. Makes my life pretty easy
"Oh goose-pipes are SOOOoo expensive!..." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great career pivot by Montez 😂
"You got bad gasket." - BRENT
The goooose pipe 😂😂😂😂
Bruh the acting between all the actors was fabulous! 😍
the "polyjuice potion" had me dead!
We're gonna have to charge extra to get a wizard to make the potion
"her shawshank need redemption"
This actually happen to me once before. Just went for an oil change and they told me i needed a bunch of other stuff fixed. Luckily my dad is a mechanic and it was just a bunch of bullshit. I never went back to that place again.
I lost it at Shawshank 😂😂😂😂
Had to chuckle at the Marine at the end. Fits right into their being known as "crayon eaters."
Lmfao I'm sure this is what most of my customers hear. I snatch them from big company shops and do what's really necessary
"Looks like her Shaw-Shank needs Redemption, too."
The dude making head and hand motions at 1:42 is the best part.
There really should be stings on repair shops. Fraud is a felony.
The USMC sweater is spot on.
Nah, they would have hit him with a high interest loan
it would have been a camero not a kia.
I am a Marine and for the slightest moment I wanted to take offense to this depiction. But alas as an honest and realistic person I must admit - there are indeed some brutally stupid motherfuckers who I call brothers.

I’ve been waiting for you to share this on RUclips for every since the first time I seen it
😂 ....I spit out my coffee. That was hilarious 🤣 They forgot to tell her the rear master bator needs to be primed, drained and flushed.
"It looks like her Shawshank needs Redemption too." I burst out laughing at that one.
At least nothing was wrong with the flux capacitor...
I love acting like I don’t know about cars and when they start acting like scammers I start naming off the real parts and they shut up real quick.
looks like her shawshank needs redemption too
I went to a Toyota dealership for an oil change. They told me I REALLY needed new transmission fluid. I asked how they knew and whether they checked the fluid. They said they had. I told them, that's funny, because I actually personally flushed my transmission fluid 3 months ago. The guy didn't have s*it to say after that. I checked it again when I got home and sure enough, looked pretty nice and red and smelled like normal transmission fluid. I was pretty pissed and called back up there to complain. I should have asked for a manager right there but oh well. I got rid of the car shortly after anyway. I thought Toyota as a company was great, but not their regular service center!
I once had a problem with my goose pipe. Took months to clear up.
😂👏 I’m sending this to my mechanic
I love how they all just looked at each other and we’re like yeah you know what it is
The fact that you got Erik Griffin to appear in this......AMAZING. Dude is awesome.
😂😂 That was too accurate
I’ve literally experienced this. What they didn’t see coming was that I work on my own vehicles and knew as much as them if not more. What can I say? Sometimes I don’t feel like changing my own oil.
lmao. Man literally said the goosepipe. died.
Lmfao Y- Ming Pahahaha that shit had me on the floor!
The mechanics have the most cleanest white tshirts on which makes it even funnier.
Mechanics in the video: “We know everything about cars”

@yxcvtfgjh lkjasdh I say that all the time. Lol. You might be my younger twin. It makes me sick the way the world is becoming. People just choose what sex they want to be and what we have to call them. Fuck science. Fuck human biology. It’s people’s feelings that matter. What a joke
@yxcvtfgjh lkjasdh ur wise beyond your years. Good taste in you tube videos also if ur watching Nikki, slappers, Trevor and Cherdleys.
Oh my God man I'm laughing so hard right now. Y'all nailed it right on the head.
"It's gon need some polly juice potion for sure"... 😂
I'm surprised that they didn't recommend a blinker fluid top up.
This is far too accurate. Everyone, make sure you have either a trustworthy mechanic, or friends who know their stuff. One of my friends (a girl) got quoted $1500 for a transmission fluid change. Stay woke kids
A friend of mine was quoted 800 for two valve cover gaskets on an F-150. Some of these shops really are scammers
@@greasylake4438 Is that not roughly what they would cost? I don't know much about the f150's, but on euro cars the valve cover gasket is a reasonably large job. While the part itself, the gasket it really cheap, it's a lot of work getting to them, at least on BMW's
@@mattw4211 it should be nowhere near that, at least not here in houston. The valve covers are easy on the Ford trucks, just take off the coils and the cover then replace the gasket. I directed her to a good shop and they did it for less than 300.
@@greasylake4438 Yep. Although, the newer the truck, it may be more time-consuming since they keep adding crap up on top. But, it's nothing to do that before 2015.
$1500? If she'd come to my shop I'd have done it for $1000!!
The acting in this from everyone is perfect.
"Your Shawshank needs redemption"... best line EVER.

"the goose chain & my yao ming" hahahahahaha
She's one of the funniest on RUclips tbh
Really funny! It's sad that there are mechanics that take advantage of people, especially women who don't know anything about cars. I'll never let any mechanic take advantage of the women in my life!
Some professions just make corruption easy. Dentists, Mechanics, Plumbers, Priests, Shrinks, Gurus etc. Basically anyone whose business depends on you having something to fix.
2:47 "polyjuice" like from harry potter 😂
I related to this more than I care to admit
This is the advantage to knowing enough about cars that you can call BS. I always make sure to say just enough when taking it in that they know I’m not an idiot 😂
They probably laugh about what you say. Then take you for a ride
You got Erik Griffen! That makes me very happy lol!
