I probably saved my dad from being "a customer" last week. I borrowed his car; "dad, what's up with this thing? It pulls on braking and acceleration, it leans in corners, the brakes shudder, and I have to actively steer while driving straight." Apparently, he thought the car was just fine, couldn't feel anything wrong with it. I took a look; rear sway bar bent and detached, two bolts sheared clean off, one rear brake disc a total loss, and no pads left on that side, spring snapped on the other side. and I could stick a screwdriver through the frame in two places. Took me all weekend to fix everything. If it was at a shop, he likely would have declined repairs because "it feels fine."
No offence, your Dad is an idiot. Either he is so stupid he thinks that is normal, or he is actively ignoring very obvious problems that could easily affect someone else.

at least 90 percent of the time. i would say about 10 percent of the time it another shop. and thats giving the benefit of the doubt. its probably more like 5 percent.
As a mechanic for 40 years I’ve seen it all. Anything that I found that was a safety issue and the work was declined, I refused to work on their vehicle. “My radio worked until you replaced my taillight bulb”
Here in the UK, most of these would never get that far, they would have been taken off the road long before, after failing their annual safety inspection (MOT test). I'm glad I don't have to share the roads with these death traps.
This is the U.S. mate. They don't care about rolling death traps but God forbid should a license plate light be out or there's a little dirt on your license plate and watch how quickly you'll get pulled over by the cops.
I think American requirements vary by state, but a safety inspection is required a minimum of once every two years in my state IIRC. I have no idea what all they check besides the few things that have failed on my cars recently, but I would hope things like "basically no brakes", "frame is about to fall apart", and "tires are more bald than a cancer patient on chemo" would fail the inspection and require fixing before the car legally drivable for the next two years.

that state truck with the harmonicas in the grill . those may be to create noise to prevent deer or animals from jumping in front of truck since it's a park vehicle.
That's exactly what I was thinking. When I was living in an area with a lot of deer and stuff running across roads, I put on a couple of "deer whistles" on the front of my car. I don't know if they truly worked, but I didn't have another encounter with a deer for the rest of the time I lived there.

However about 1 in every 5 have required maintenance declined in way shape or form. This is not to say the work doesn't gets done, they may do it themselves. But it is very common to have work declined at my dealership. As a rule of thumb, if a shop says you need something, but you don't trust them, get a second opinion or look yourself.

A shop I worked at, found out the hard way, 40 years ago. We wrote the car was unsafe on the bill. The owner drove away, then a couple days later, the brakes completely fell apart, locking up the rear axle. We lost in court, having to pay for repairing, the brakes, rear axle, and transmission. The court said our warning wasn't enough, because it was written just like everything else on the form. Afterwards, we wrote, at an angle, underlined, circled, in different ink.
How do you know? No shop has someone crawl under a vehicle to make sure it's safe before it goes up... That's the tech's judgement, and cars these bad are rare.
Took my Fiero in for tires a year or so ago... Front subframe rusting out. Brought her home, and she sat for a bit. Took the subframe off dad's car that was in the process of having the parts moved to a new frame because of rust on his old one, but the front subframe was good. Took her back in after, and we found rust on other parts of the frame. She's been sitting since.
A legal protection idea for shops: Pass a law that requires a big sign stating, "Vehicles deemed unsafe by the shop due to frame rust or defective brakes or damaged suspension must be towed out at the owner's expense." and cite the legislation on the sign. Have copies of the legislation to hand out to customers who complain when their rattle trap is towed out.
Alot of mechanic shops are privately owned and have very little parking lot road frontage. Tow trucks would jam up the operation and keeping good standing with the local community is important with any business. DOT already over legislates semi truck business over the road and on the interstates. One major reason is because those businesses can afford tow bills and legal fees. A half witted dope driving a rusted out car most likely doesn't have the money to buy a new car and the knowledge to crawl underneath a vehicle to identify how serious rust damage is. That happened to me a while back when buying a truck. The shop declined repairs and I sold the truck for scrap days later.
We don’t need more legislation, firstly, and secondly, states with mandatory inspections that take “unsafe” vehicles off the road don’t have any reduction in serious injury or mortality related to vehicle accidents. So yes, while they are rust-buckets that will likely break down, they don’t actually cause any more deaths or injury than other vehicles.
From WC, I really don’t understand some of these states, when I lived in FLA we had a basic inspection for $10.00 I think! They checked basic conditions, tires, for at least 3/32nds of tread, a complete working exhaust system, lights working and all lenses complete with no cracks or holes, a solid frame, seat belts, alignment and I think a few other things, no exhaust tests at that time! It was basically to make sure the car was Road worthy! One year I had a new exhaust put on my car and they forgot to tighten it all up, that could have been a deadly disaster for us, so we were able to go back and make sure it was done correctly! So why Florida did away with it I have no idea! Now I hear Texas is doing the same thing! I think some of these states are crazy! I now live in Tennessee and I wish we had at least that basic Auto Inspection here as you should see some of the vehicles that roam the roads here! I am lucky as since I no longer do my own repair work, I have a good independent repair shop that I trust to repair what ever needs to be done at a REASONABLE cost!
I know that here in the UK we all moan when our cars fail the annual inspection (know as the M.O.T.), but without this annual safety inspection all of our cars would be moving death-traps like these. God bless the MOT!
There are dime a dozen shops here that will tell you brand new parts installed correctly are bad and need replaced. You’d have to compare this to how many vehicles are actually kept off the road due to issues. Example I’ve used is ball joints on jeeps/dodge ram 2500/3500. Most shops think ball joint play of any kind of bad, but the design of these vehicles up/down play is expected by design. Only side to side play is bad. Shops often don’t know better and will always mark them as failing and need replaced. When you put a system in place where a shop badly informed can now hold your car/ability to drive hostage you have a problem. To make matters worse if you are not a car person like most are not, you won’t even know you are being taken advantage of.
@@patheticlobsters7626 No. I've written before that I understand the situation and probably would have done the same thing but that doesn't automatically mean I have to like it.
At 0:42 Is it just me or for some of us who don't use miles really appreciated the metric conversions that used to be included earlier? 😢 Also the lucky father looked out for us non-native English fans. The narration was a tad slow 😅
I'm pretty sure the purpose of the harmonicas was to alert animals to prevent them from running out in front of them. They actually sell little stick on whistles that you put on your fender to keep deer and stuff from running out. They're not really that audible to humans unlike harmonicas though but the deer whistle is only really affective over like 35 or 40 mph where as the harmonicas probably make noise from 10 mph and up. Honestly might be better that the actual deer whistle for a park ranger that does a lot of 20-30 mph driving at night in the woods.
The harmonicas are being used as "deer whistles". Driving through the woods, deer on the road, they'll hear that and scatter. They're on the shutter so the driver can turn them "on and off".
The last one with the truck and wood is probably a quickly assembled catalytic converter theft defense, not enough to stop a super determined thief but enough of a bother to stop a quick opportunist
That Kia had way more than a 175 miles on it. I had to rewind and make sure I heard him correctly. My first thought was horrible quality control from the factory. Maybe that narrator meant to say 175 THOUSAND miles
Im shocked at how rotted out some American vehicle chassis's are and the poor level of brake component maintenance. Total death traps. This level of neglect doesn't happen overnight. Some of those rotten chassis components didn't even happen within 12 months. Much stricter annual testing in Europe plus on our MOT (ministry of transport) tests, the garage can by law confiscate the vehicle until certain repairs are carried out, not just hand it back to the customer to take away under false pretence of getting the work done 'elsewhere' or 'declined repairs'.
Amazing.... Such issues are almost not seen here in Europe. You can ofcourse decline some work because you can do it yourself but here in the European countries, all you fix must be within TüV, MOT, APK, Auto Securité specs. When it does not come through the official check, you must fix it or sell the car or export it or bring it to the wreckyard. Because the official station just give you a "did not pass" paper. Then you have a time to fix it and after that you get a fine automatically......
Me: "oh no, is that a lip I see on my brake rotor?😱Better replace them all!" The guy at 0:42 "3 out of 4... 😏so you're saying THE VAST MAJORITY of my wheels still have brakes?"
When I first saw those plastic covers that garages put on the driver's seat, I assumed it was to protect the upholstery from the greasy overalls. Watching these videos I understood that it was the other way around.
These messy cars are awful. But I guess some people just kinda give up when life gives lemons and they're stuck living in said car. If you're already either messy, a bit of a hoarder or both, and now all you own is what's in your home-car... Yeah. And, people with mental health issues are more vulnerable to and thus statistically more likely to end up losing (access to) a home, and end up in situations like this :/
Over regulation in the name of making cars more "safe" and "clean" have also raised the cost of vehicles to the point where basic maintenance is unaffordable and therefore making the cars more unsafe than they would have been without all the regulations.
I cannot fathom why all those rolling death traps were not reported to the police to be taken off the road. Doesn't a repair shop make themselves an accessory when letting these vehicles drive away, fully knowing what can/will happen? And even if they'd be in the clear legally, how can they sleep at night?
The broken window on the KIA shows it was probably stolen recently. Maybe their trying to kill the thefts. But they are really opening themselves up to a big lawsuit after an accident!

A shop I worked at, found out the hard way, 40 years ago. We wrote the car was unsafe on the bill. The owner drove away, then a couple days later, the brakes completely fell apart, locking up the rear axle. We lost in court, having to pay for repairing, the brakes, rear axle, and transmission. The court said our warning wasn't enough, because it was written just like everything else on the form. Afterwards, we wrote, at an angle, underlined, circled, in different ink.
Sometimes you have to look at it to find out how bad it is.
How do you know?
No shop has someone crawl under a vehicle to make sure it's safe before it goes up... That's the tech's judgement, and cars these bad are rare.
Hey new voice guy! You’re doing a great job. Keep it up
As a mechanic who plays harmonica I'd love to have a truck come in with harmonicas on it 😂
Did I miss it? Was there no sprayfoam repair done in this video??? 😄
2:20 - Yeah, well it's Connecticut, so not all that surprising. 🤣
Took my Fiero in for tires a year or so ago...
Front subframe rusting out.
Brought her home, and she sat for a bit.
Took the subframe off dad's car that was in the process of having the parts moved to a new frame because of rust on his old one, but the front subframe was good.
Took her back in after, and we found rust on other parts of the frame.
She's been sitting since.
A legal protection idea for shops: Pass a law that requires a big sign stating, "Vehicles deemed unsafe by the shop due to frame rust or defective brakes or damaged suspension must be towed out at the owner's expense." and cite the legislation on the sign. Have copies of the legislation to hand out to customers who complain when their rattle trap is towed out.
Alot of mechanic shops are privately owned and have very little parking lot road frontage. Tow trucks would jam up the operation and keeping good standing with the local community is important with any business. DOT already over legislates semi truck business over the road and on the interstates. One major reason is because those businesses can afford tow bills and legal fees. A half witted dope driving a rusted out car most likely doesn't have the money to buy a new car and the knowledge to crawl underneath a vehicle to identify how serious rust damage is. That happened to me a while back when buying a truck. The shop declined repairs and I sold the truck for scrap days later.
That would only work in states that have such applicable laws.
But other than that quibble, I support your idea!
We don’t need more legislation, firstly, and secondly, states with mandatory inspections that take “unsafe” vehicles off the road don’t have any reduction in serious injury or mortality related to vehicle accidents. So yes, while they are rust-buckets that will likely break down, they don’t actually cause any more deaths or injury than other vehicles.
A lot of scammer mechanics too. "It's not safe to drive" is usually a sales pitch, especially if your wife is in the room. Creates trust issues.
I miss the old narrator. I hope he is happy with his new family 🙂
Just noticed where did he go it it not the same
@@paulthompson8613 he just had a baby, so he is busy changing diapers and getting no sleep :p
0:41 "The customer laughed and said, 'Why make such a big deal over nothing?'"
2 days later there's a 2011 Kia Sorento wrapped around a tree.
From WC, I really don’t understand some of these states, when I lived in FLA we had a basic inspection for $10.00 I think! They checked basic conditions, tires, for at least 3/32nds of tread, a complete working exhaust system, lights working and all lenses complete with no cracks or holes, a solid frame, seat belts, alignment and I think a few other things, no exhaust tests at that time! It was basically to make sure the car was Road worthy! One year I had a new exhaust put on my car and they forgot to tighten it all up, that could have been a deadly disaster for us, so we were able to go back and make sure it was done correctly! So why Florida did away with it I have no idea! Now I hear Texas is doing the same thing! I think some of these states are crazy! I now live in Tennessee and I wish we had at least that basic Auto Inspection here as you should see some of the vehicles that roam the roads here! I am lucky as since I no longer do my own repair work, I have a good independent repair shop that I trust to repair what ever needs to be done at a REASONABLE cost!
I am truly amazed at the willingness of people to drive death traps.
The worst thing about them is putting others at risk.
@@star9732
Or they hope the mechanics won't really look??
Data doesn’t support that states with mandatory inspections have any reduction in significant injury or mortality related to vehicle accidents.
I like the chocolate fountain joke. I burst out laughing!
If only they made spray foam brake rotors...
Lighter than carbon-composite rotors!
1:56 honestly, we've seen way worse on this channel
An amazingly rough 175 miles on that KIA
I know that here in the UK we all moan when our cars fail the annual inspection (know as the M.O.T.), but without this annual safety inspection all of our cars would be moving death-traps like these. God bless the MOT!
There are dime a dozen shops here that will tell you brand new parts installed correctly are bad and need replaced. You’d have to compare this to how many vehicles are actually kept off the road due to issues.
Example I’ve used is ball joints on jeeps/dodge ram 2500/3500. Most shops think ball joint play of any kind of bad, but the design of these vehicles up/down play is expected by design. Only side to side play is bad. Shops often don’t know better and will always mark them as failing and need replaced.
When you put a system in place where a shop badly informed can now hold your car/ability to drive hostage you have a problem. To make matters worse if you are not a car person like most are not, you won’t even know you are being taken advantage of.
Veteran viewers state: New narrator voice getting better!!
Still bad and I don't like changes
@@robine5280 do you want the old guy to un-have kids or something. It takes time to get good.
@@patheticlobsters7626 I think wifey would be unhappy with the "un-haved" kids aspect...
I don't, I can no longer understand what he's saying. Sounds like a bunch of jabbering.. even closed captions is having trouble deciphering him.
@@patheticlobsters7626 No. I've written before that I understand the situation and probably would have done the same thing but that doesn't automatically mean I have to like it.
Harmonica's are definately there to scare off wild life. Probably had them already and didnt want to go buy deer whistles/horns.
Why are you making a big deal out of nothing? BECAUSE THERES SUPPOSED TO BE SOMETHING
Lol those are not harminicas. When driving at speed they make a noise that is supposed to scare deer away from jumping out in the road.
0:37 Harmonica #1 and #2 are hilarious. Great prank to pull on your buddy. Same with the brake light to horn jumper. 😂
Let's make things worse, and blame the "Other Shop"!🤣😬👍👍
Sad night.... no spray foam.... lol 😂😂😂
the HARMONICA joke never gets old ! good pranks back in the day
At 0:42 Is it just me or for some of us who don't use miles really appreciated the metric conversions that used to be included earlier? 😢
Also the lucky father looked out for us non-native English fans. The narration was a tad slow 😅
A certain country needs to have annual national (federal) safety inspections to get these deathtraps off the road and become a civilized country.
Its the chocolate fountain charlie 🤣 🤣 yeah those brake repair declines are just scary that theyre on the road with us.
If I was a shop owner, none of these dangerous vehicles would leave my property under their own power. Towing service on site ;-)
New narrator is getting better, I'm sorry for calling you an AI. 😅
Is it not AI? Did he sell the channel?
Sounds like AI speech to me.
@@asdf072xxpI think he's busy with his brand new, lovely family at the moment.
@@asdf072xxpOld narrator had kids and is spending time with his family for the moment. The channel hasn't been sold to my knowledge
@@asdf072xxp The normal narrator recently had twins, so he's been busy taking care of his family.
I'm pretty sure the purpose of the harmonicas was to alert animals to prevent them from running out in front of them. They actually sell little stick on whistles that you put on your fender to keep deer and stuff from running out. They're not really that audible to humans unlike harmonicas though but the deer whistle is only really affective over like 35 or 40 mph where as the harmonicas probably make noise from 10 mph and up. Honestly might be better that the actual deer whistle for a park ranger that does a lot of 20-30 mph driving at night in the woods.
The harmonicas are being used as "deer whistles". Driving through the woods, deer on the road, they'll hear that and scatter. They're on the shutter so the driver can turn them "on and off".
Know I know the difference between a dual exhaust and a TRUE dual exhaust ...LOL
Excellent content 👌
The last one with the truck and wood is probably a quickly assembled catalytic converter theft defense, not enough to stop a super determined thief but enough of a bother to stop a quick opportunist
People who don’t think brakes are important need to be in jail
"such a big deal over nothing"
that 'nothing' is exactly why it is a big deal lol
That Kia had way more than a 175 miles on it. I had to rewind and make sure I heard him correctly. My first thought was horrible quality control from the factory. Maybe that narrator meant to say 175 THOUSAND miles
The harmonica prank was pretty funny!
Im shocked at how rotted out some American vehicle chassis's are and the poor level of brake component maintenance.
Total death traps.
This level of neglect doesn't happen overnight. Some of those rotten chassis components didn't even happen within 12 months.
Much stricter annual testing in Europe plus on our MOT (ministry of transport) tests, the garage can by law confiscate the vehicle until certain repairs are carried out, not just hand it back to the customer to take away under false pretence of getting the work done 'elsewhere' or 'declined repairs'.
Amazing.... Such issues are almost not seen here in Europe.
You can ofcourse decline some work because you can do it yourself but here in the European countries, all you fix must be within TüV, MOT, APK, Auto Securité specs. When it does not come through the official check, you must fix it or sell the car or export it or bring it to the wreckyard. Because the official station just give you a "did not pass" paper. Then you have a time to fix it and after that you get a fine automatically......
I tried Liqui Moly Ceratec. But very soon after had to drain the oil to fix an issue. The oil looked like an oil/coolant mix.
Customer: "I only want...." "Just replace...." etc
Me" "Here are your keys back, I dont want to touch it. Bye"
The harmonica balancer is to keep the vibrations under control.
Dang! Beat me to it.
Me: "oh no, is that a lip I see on my brake rotor?😱Better replace them all!"
The guy at 0:42 "3 out of 4... 😏so you're saying THE VAST MAJORITY of my wheels still have brakes?"
175 miles?!?!?!?!
I miss the calm demeanor from the old narrator. Almost like bedroom talk. The new one is kind of shouty.
Someone should make a car repair shop, and name it "Another Shop", because they have all the customers! 😂
When I first saw those plastic covers that garages put on the driver's seat, I assumed it was to protect the upholstery from the greasy overalls.
Watching these videos I understood that it was the other way around.
When I was in high school, I took auto. A guy brought in an early 70s wagoneer. It's mill was lopsided and the trans cross member was a 2 by 4.
These messy cars are awful. But I guess some people just kinda give up when life gives lemons and they're stuck living in said car. If you're already either messy, a bit of a hoarder or both, and now all you own is what's in your home-car... Yeah. And, people with mental health issues are more vulnerable to and thus statistically more likely to end up losing (access to) a home, and end up in situations like this :/
In the UK, thank you for MOT's!
No matter how many of these videos I watch, all I see is how many people who shouldn't own vehicles!
Well, he's right about "over nothing." There's nothing left of his brakes.
Clip 2 is why i love my old Dodge Dakota. No extra fancy computer crap to break
MECHANIC DECLINES ALL REPAIRS.
Over regulation in the name of making cars more "safe" and "clean" have also raised the cost of vehicles to the point where basic maintenance is unaffordable and therefore making the cars more unsafe than they would have been without all the regulations.
I cannot fathom why all those rolling death traps were not reported to the police to be taken off the road.
Doesn't a repair shop make themselves an accessory when letting these vehicles drive away, fully knowing what can/will happen?
And even if they'd be in the clear legally, how can they sleep at night?
2:36 is a GM product, like a 2022 Enclave or similar. Known problem and indeed it is covered under warranty.
Here in Australia if a death trap rolled in and repairs were refused the police would be called so the car can be put off the road.
The broken window on the KIA shows it was probably stolen recently. Maybe their trying to kill the thefts. But they are really opening themselves up to a big lawsuit after an accident!
