15:32 NEVER do that kind of stuff with compressed air. We had a case in Germany in 2009 where a worker blew air on a collegues butt through his pants and the pressure ruptured his colon, left him bleeding internally in his guts and he barely survived. People don't realize how dangerous compressed air really is
In my province, it is not legal to even clean your hands with compressed air. The high pressure can introduce air bubbles into your bloodstream through the skin.
In the 70s I watched a guy filling a new trans sitting under the hood with the shifter lever not adjusted correctly and he saved it this same way. Although the battery charger behind it didn't fair so well. I laughed so hard. I said Robert I need to be here when you tell our boss what happened to the charger.
I bleed my system each time. Brake fluid is cheap and not changing it is stupid and lazy. Wonder why my cars are all 05 or older. Must not know what I'm doing 😅
I worked in a tire shop, one side only did tires. Well they had a mechanic come over and did something to the brakes on big conversion van. Needless to say, I was told to pull it out. Not knowing what had been done, I got lucky with the Ebrake.
I HAVE spent a thousand dollars on tools and nobody has touched my car except me. That includes swapping engines and overhauling transmissions. (I had to go to school to learn how to overhaul transmissions.) Now I want to sell my engine hoist and engine stand because I am 75 years old.
Before my health issues, I fixed 95% of whatever happened to my vehicles myself. The way I saw it, if I did it, I could be sure it was done to my satisfaction and I would save money too. Of course, life decided to screw me a bit so now I can't drive or work on vehicles anymore. But, totally worth it to work on your own stuff as long as you aren't a dummy. The skills and knowledge obtained also helps if you ever find yourself stranded due to some mechanical issue. One time my daily decided to not start after leaving a store. It took a few minutes but I found a frayed wire under the hood that was grounding out. Put on some tape to get me home and made it home just fine. Saved myself over a hundred dollars for a tow.
Oiling up the brake pads at the end says it all. For those who dont know, the instructions included with brake pads give an explicit warning to keep the pads free of any grease or oil.
Should have asked permission. Maybe it needed long road test. If they did it as a favor to the customer. Not ok without permission and not ok to delay return of the vehicle...
I pulled upto the new Take 5 oil change place. A young girl brought me a bottle of water and said your next after the car in front of me. I watched what looked like 3 young high-school girls and a guy that looked like he would rather be anywhere else trying to tell these girls what to do. I slowly put my car in reverse and eased my way back out of there hoping they wouldn't notice 😂
The ones I can never understand is people who mess with coil springs those things scare the crap out of me and even using the specialty tool is hairy I much rather have a wall mounted one
Would not have help as there was two sources of fire and both were feeding into each other. The only way to put out the fire was to eliminate both sources of fire, which is not possible with one fire extinguisher
@Mack-is1egno dude wtf are you talking about? It was clearly 1 source, on the ground. That LATER created a second fire with its own fuel to it but it started from 1 source. Isn’t that obvious? I get blown away by the perception some of my fellow humans have
@shadygunshowIt started at one source, but it quickly became two sources in a matter of seconds making it impossible to put out with one fire extinguisher. And if you opened your eyes, you would see that the did everything correctly but the situation was bound to fail.
I took my truck to the shop to get ball joints, tie rods and alignment. Afterwards they took my truck 70 miles to pick up tires for their garage. After telling them I was going to Sue them, they did the work and parts for FREE. made my day.
I witnessed a mechanic hammering my left rear brake drum off to inspect my brakes that id just installed, instead of backing off the brake shoes with a brake spoon, completely destroying everything, then charging me 80 bucks to replace everything
It's inexcusable to use some else's vehicle to haul your own appliances and call it a test drive. NEVER do business with that shop again. In fact, report them to the Better Business Bureau!
And then to be met with some little weasel threatening you while youre calling the mechanic. I would tell him to simmer down, tell the mechanic to offer me a very big deduction on my bill or threaten to call the police and report the car stolen. Absolutely no time nor patience for stuff like this.
happened to me- I only found out when I got a summons in the mail for illegal parking in a fire route on the Friday night while it was in the shop, I wasn't very pleased to find out that it was there because the idiots blew the transmission doing burnouts in front of a bar, the judge wasn't happy at all of it, and made the garage even less happy when the owner got nailed for unlawful use, intentional damage to personal property and violating the HTA, and did 30 days in the can PLUS paid me $7500 in damages... that shop was up for sale VERY shortly after....
A friend of mine took her Honda civic in for brakes, I followed behind her. Car worked fantastically had about 50k on it. No smoke anywhere. They finally “get to it” 3 business days plus a weekend later and call her up telling her the engine is blown. Yeah they destroyed her car and then told her they could get an engine with 120k on it for her and swap it for only $7k I will never drop my vehicle off to a hood mechanic and I will now ALWAYS document my odometer with proof before dropping it off.
As a car mechanic myself, there is a reason why they have a school/education for you to learn it the right way, safety regulations, propper tools etc. Also a bit of common knowledge would come in handy 😂
It always surprises me when I go to stamp a service book and it has a dozen different shops stamps in them. It's a great way to get big bills even with good mechanics because we don't know the true history of the vehicle.
Probably faked for views, it did appear to be the same model of car I think, I wasn’t paying that close of attention but it could be a flaw on the sensor in that model also but doubt
if your knee smacks the fender in just the right place when you do it, you can actually jar the collision sensor enough to set them off- seen it happen...
The level of idiocy in this video is astounding. Literally none of these people should EVER be allowed in a shop, to work on anything, or to EVER operate a moving vehicle of ANY kind.
Finding a good mechanic is hard, and im not even talking pricewise just someone who can find and fix what is wrong with it and not just fire the parts cannon and hope it fixes the problem
I felt for the guy with his finger caught in the car spring. That hurt. The fire in the garage and everyone running around clueless then the guy with the fire extinguisher who doesn't know how to put out a fire is priceless. Try explaining the doctor how the car hood closed on your pecker and keeping a straight face.
@rogerd4559 you do know airbags are not supposed to “pop” right? They are supposed to only deflate. I’m pretty sure I know more than you bud, you’re just making yourself look dumb.
It's more like vice versa because you can get away with anything in the shop world because insurance will cover it. But yeah that's exactly how it is mini screw-ups everyday nobody gets fired it's okay insurance got it covered. Yes that includes dealerships as well as I've been a mechanic for dealerships as well as independent and chain shops
Remember this video when you take a stand on immigration. Imagine the US full of mechanics like this, especially the guy at 6:48, mangling the hood instead of finding the latch, and sticking a pole into a running engine, all with the intention of making the car work better.
In USA it's called part changers not mechanics outside of US called mechanic in real.body shops they fix them not swapts parts 😂😂😂😂 need to travel out of ur trailer park buddy 😂😂😂
4:03 A long time ago, I saw a movie where Steven Seagal kicked a car from the front and the airbag deployed, and I was amazed, saying, "What nonsense!" But now I believe that it is possible for that to happen in the right place and time.
WTF happened at 12:35? Did that guy just spontaneously combust!? He's just standing there... then he's spewing flames out of his right hand like the human torch!
The extinguisher was a co2 and worked exactly as intended, even in skilled hands they will stir up a liquid based fire, difficult to put any fire out. over 20 years fire extinguisher testing
I am a dealership mechanic, and the dude at the end telling you to look out for dealership mechanics is how people end up taking their vehicles to the kind of idiots you see in these videos. We will never just sell you something for no reason. If that car had only 30k miles it should be under warranty anyhow, but those rotors did look glazed, and he didn't even look at the other side. Could be a stuck pin or something causing uneven wear, which can lead to brake failure. That being said, you take your ride to 'I know a guy', you never know what you'll get, whereas, at least any Ford tech, has to be able to guarantee the work for two years on most repairs. try getting that from Joe Shadetree.
@rogerd4559The wheels didn't break off. The mechanic tried to move the cabinet with several drawers opened and it's center of gravity shifted when one of the closed drawers slid open sending the entire thing to the floor.
Cheers for this fantastic collection of ws. bloopers!! I Was a mechanic for 50 odd years, now HGV driver…. I very much enjoy this series of bloopers and share them with (oldtimer-…) mechanics, friends of mine… On a more proffessional note: 17:45 Torquewrench is nice and wonderful, but a ‘mechanic’s sense of feeling’ has to prevail!! If it doesn’t feel right IT ISN’T!!! ANY mechanic with experience FEELS when tightening a bolt/nut is about to go wrong…, regardless what the torquewrench reads!! It is exactly the same mistike as drivers following their navigation, ending up in a meadow…..
I was once accused of playing with fire by the new boss but I was really doing was demonstrating the effects of clean vs dirty fuel injectors. After he hollered at me my customer cussed him out and told he should listen to his people who know how to explain things. He went out of business the next year.
My first serious failure as a new mechanic was when I did a brake flush on a newer Volvo. I let the reservoir run dry while bleeding. I let the car down off the lift, started it, and it went forward and into the wall of our shop while i was repeatedly slamming on the brake pedal in a blind panic. I learned that day and thankfully got to keep my job.
Edit-The customer was a 'waiter' and heard the carnage of her brand-new car hitting the wall and ran out of the waiting room to see what happened. I felt awful.
@CM-tc6pp Hey, pronouns matter, "she" was a "waitress" unless she had dangly bits below the belt, jus sayin. I would tell you some if the idiotic mechanical fees I did in my younger years when I was either stoned, drunk, or more often than not both to make you feel better, but I dont have the time to write them all down, and if you had the time read them all, it would indicate that you are now what is termed as "an under-employed mechanic" and I would hate to make you feel worse than you already do. Of course I'm razzing you....have a great day! 👍✌️🫡
@rogerd4559 I don't know anything about Volvos, not currently or past, but older standard transmissions would start in gear, the feature you're referencing didn't become a standard safety feature until sometime in the late 90s or later from my own experiences with Fords and Mazdas.
I feel for the guy at 3:24 because if you've ever taken truck tires off before you always almost had that happen....haven't done it in awhile but way we did was break the bead on the one side then slide the two bars in and let gravity do the work...but ther are sometimes when they just don't want to cooperate and I assume that this is one of those times😅
@seandknutsonI don't think there would be a fumble. Just a ton of disbelief until the guy gets his hands on the video footage or the hero who came to his rescue to prove he isn't making that story up.
I’ve been related by marriage to shade tree mechanics and I will never hire one but watching this video it’s clear that they have managed to get jobs in actual garages. But bc of the footage in this video and many more, they can’t prevent the thickness of their skulls from becoming blatantly apparent… 16:36 now fill the holes with caulk, sand it down and send it. Just kidding but seriously, those screws managed to pull the bulk of that dent out. I can see some jack-leg smearing 5-lbs of body filler in the dent instead of pulling as much of the dent out as possible…
Yes , they're all staged , the collision sensors are mounted on the body , if they were on the wheels the bags and seats would go off every time you hit a pothole ! Also , fooling around with compressed air is not funny, it can kill or maim in a split second and change your or a workmates life forever.
@bobgorman9481I know a guy who was killed in a sawmill playin with compressed air exactly like in this video it went into his intestines and blew his guts up, he died on the spot. Joker thought it would be funny to goose his buddies ass with 110 psi from a blow down wand
That happened in Ireland too. A guy got 35 psi up the hole as a "practical joke." He lived and recovered if I remember rightly, but nearly died. Three or four lads got two years in prison for it. Imagine being that dumb.
0:44 impossible to see, but I have a feeling the vehicle was severely rusted underneath and all of the normal jack points were too compromised. Although if the shop doesn't have a drive on lift, declining the vehicle is usually the better call.
13:01 having the correct type of extinguisher is important..... that things making the fire worse 😂 and he tried to put the top of th flame out too. Yikes and other guy ran around clueless of where to even look for one....
Agreed. And in order to compress the spring when assembling it on the new strut, spring compressors will be required. Why not rent/buy/borrow the compressors prior to disassembly? But, I’ve made a mistake or 2 over the years. Dave in Omaha
Around the 12:15 minute mark goes to show how some people shouldn't be allowed to work in a shop or garage. I know that without the proper tools, one shouldn't take short cuts, or use crappy tools. As you can see, you can lose a finger, or worse. Some of these people should never be inside a garage.
![Digital Circus Ep 9 Finale [TRAILER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/AjFk1cY265I/mqdefault.jpg)
I tried to laugh but watching this was actually terrifying.
A good reminder why I'm not comfortable taking my vehicle anywhere to be fixed, no matter how lazy I feel 😅
spring assembly go boom
@eridean_nokodal The guy with his delicate teenage fingers interwoven in a questionably placed spring compressor had me pucker up my exit only hole.
Every one with a spring made me cringe even before what happened happened
@eridean_nokodal I really wish more morons would actually try that. Good way to cull the undesirables.
15:32 NEVER do that kind of stuff with compressed air.

Mais ... parce que de plus en + débille
My dad worked for GM many years ago, guys were fuckin around with the air hose, same nonsense, the guy did not make it.
YEP..... I took auto mechanics in 1980 that was the first thing they taught us that I remember it well
I came to the comments to say the same thing. Compressed air is extremely dangerous
In my province, it is not legal to even clean your hands with compressed air. The high pressure can introduce air bubbles into your bloodstream through the skin.
14:55 the fact he thought about closing the door to save it, and then rescued the truck, is SUPERHERO levels of awesome. Wow!
I wanna be friends with that guy
In the 70s I watched a guy filling a new trans sitting under the hood with the shifter lever not adjusted correctly and he saved it this same way. Although the battery charger behind it didn't fair so well. I laughed so hard. I said Robert I need to be here when you tell our boss what happened to the charger.
I was impressed with him too.
You don't ask the apprentice, you show the apprentice.
You only forget ONCE to pump up disc brakes after changing pads
(A mistake I did NOT make.)
Why, it’s no big deal.
I bleed my system each time. Brake fluid is cheap and not changing it is stupid and lazy. Wonder why my cars are all 05 or older. Must not know what I'm doing 😅
That is true. I learned that same lesson ONCE many years ago.
I worked in a tire shop, one side only did tires. Well they had a mechanic come over and did something to the brakes on big conversion van.
Needless to say, I was told to pull it out. Not knowing what had been done, I got lucky with the Ebrake.
12:22-😬😬😬 guy getting his finger stuck in the coil😬
Wrong and/or cheap tools - you always pay twice...
My finger still hurts just from watching that.
I truly felt sympathy for that person.
Omg i could feel that through the screen
@johnnytacokleinschmidt515 I don't, dude played stupid games won stupid prizes.
I’d rather spend $1,000 in tools than let today’s mechanic touch my vehicle.
Besides that my labor is cheaper.
go for it then you need more than just the tools
I HAVE spent a thousand dollars on tools and nobody has touched my car except me. That includes swapping engines and overhauling transmissions. (I had to go to school to learn how to overhaul transmissions.) Now I want to sell my engine hoist and engine stand because I am 75 years old.
Before my health issues, I fixed 95% of whatever happened to my vehicles myself. The way I saw it, if I did it, I could be sure it was done to my satisfaction and I would save money too.

this is literally a fail compiliation video, theres still many reliable and trust worthy mechanic shops
Oiling up the brake pads at the end says it all.
For those who dont know, the instructions included with brake pads give an explicit warning to keep the pads free of any grease or oil.
Это старая инструкция, сейчас обязательно нужно мазать масло, ну что бы не стирались.😂
Those jerks using my truck moving shit would be sued out of business.
After the mysterious fire!😂
Should have asked permission. Maybe it needed long road test. If they did it as a favor to the customer. Not ok without permission and not ok to delay return of the vehicle...
It's hilarious how that dipshit threatened her after knowing what's going on. "You don't know who I am" No kid, you don't know who I am!
The arrogance those guys unleashed on the owner was unbelievable
@johnnytacokleinschmidt515 Longer road test means testing it on the road, not using it as a personal equipment hauling car.
I don't understand why they laugh when they destroy other peoples property.
C'mon. These are already such rudimentary mistakes from mechanics that...
Not laughing at the destruction of private property. Laughing at idiots
Don't cry over spilt milk 😢
You take your car personally. Auto Technicians, don't.
Not laughing at destruction. Laughing at the f up situation and surviving
Dats waf they do fuck up ur car .botch it up charge enormous an smirk at u
I pulled upto the new Take 5 oil change place. A young girl brought me a bottle of water and said your next after the car in front of me. I watched what looked like 3 young high-school girls and a guy that looked like he would rather be anywhere else trying to tell these girls what to do. I slowly put my car in reverse and eased my way back out of there hoping they wouldn't notice 😂
I took my car to a Stealership for a brake job, just to see if they did it the same way I do it. Yep. Same same. That trip fixed my confidence level.
@2:57 How many buckets were in that bucket?
I was thinking the same thing! Where did he buy that infinity bucket cuz I need one!!!
No sh*t, right?! It's like, there ya go bud! You're contributing!
I'm still counting 🤔
Right?!
I was think the same thing that's a he'll of a bucket
Damn lucky some of those folks weren’t seriously hurt or killed😅
If they were killed, it would be one less idiot to damage your car
The ones I can never understand is people who mess with coil springs those things scare the crap out of me and even using the specialty tool is hairy I much rather have a wall mounted one
Take a good long look at our future of car repair. Not every place is like this, but it soon will be.
Dat why I never send my vehicles 2 another garage I've worked there I know wat there capable ov
@JackBrowne-t2l I am glad you found someone you can trust. I hope it will remain that way for you.
@JackBrowne-t2l WTF is DAT and WAT? Ebonics does not work!
Robots will do all car repairs in a few years time
@Davoodoox1That's all bs
12:55 why is he spraying under the car he needs to aim at the base of the fire and smother the flames!🤦🏻🙄
When your adrenaline is high, your brain is not working very well. That's where training and muscle memory helps.
Would not have help as there was two sources of fire and both were feeding into each other. The only way to put out the fire was to eliminate both sources of fire, which is not possible with one fire extinguisher

@shadygunshow regardless of how the fire started, there were at that time to sources of fire.
@shadygunshowIt started at one source, but it quickly became two sources in a matter of seconds making it impossible to put out with one fire extinguisher. And if you opened your eyes, you would see that the did everything correctly but the situation was bound to fail.
I just have to say, I'm watching the guy loosen the spring, and I'm leaning all the way back in my chair like i was there. smh
near fatal accidents are the best teachers for idiots
I took my truck to the shop to get ball joints, tie rods and alignment. Afterwards they took my truck 70 miles to pick up tires for their garage. After telling them I was going to Sue them, they did the work and parts for FREE. made my day.
Like the channel but the background music is horrible
Thank you!
Oh, this is “I Kill Your Mind and Soul with Dude-Bro, Electrified, Douche-Ass, Brain-Drill” by the artist Gen Z Corporate Culturicide.
15:00 that's some awareness right there. Saved the door, saved the truck.
These are the "mechanics" that give us DIYers nightmares!
So called mechanics, they once changed a spark plug, so started calling them selves a mechanic
I witnessed a mechanic hammering my left rear brake drum off to inspect my brakes that id just installed, instead of backing off the brake shoes with a brake spoon, completely destroying everything, then charging me 80 bucks to replace everything
I lasted 120s. The two idiots dismantling the spring made me shit my pants.
I’m sure the dude crapped his pants from the pain when the car tried biting his wiener off😂😂😂
It's inexcusable to use some else's vehicle to haul your own appliances and call it a test drive. NEVER do business with that shop again. In fact, report them to the Better Business Bureau!
And then to be met with some little weasel threatening you while youre calling the mechanic. I would tell him to simmer down, tell the mechanic to offer me a very big deduction on my bill or threaten to call the police and report the car stolen. Absolutely no time nor patience for stuff like this.
@innominatum9906 "report the car stolen" This is the way. Let these punks off the hook, they will do this again...
happened to me- I only found out when I got a summons in the mail for illegal parking in a fire route on the Friday night while it was in the shop, I wasn't very pleased to find out that it was there because the idiots blew the transmission doing burnouts in front of a bar, the judge wasn't happy at all of it, and made the garage even less happy when the owner got nailed for unlawful use, intentional damage to personal property and violating the HTA, and did 30 days in the can PLUS paid me $7500 in damages...
that shop was up for sale VERY shortly after....
A friend of mine took her Honda civic in for brakes, I followed behind her. Car worked fantastically had about 50k on it. No smoke anywhere.
They finally “get to it” 3 business days plus a weekend later and call her up telling her the engine is blown.
Yeah they destroyed her car and then told her they could get an engine with 120k on it for her and swap it for only $7k
I will never drop my vehicle off to a hood mechanic and I will now ALWAYS document my odometer with proof before dropping it off.
That only works if they are a member of the better business bureau. They are not a government agency
Half the workers at these shops laughing at the mishaps. Must suck working at those places.
if it was their cars, would they still be laughing?
It would suck for me, & I guess for you too but these creatures are happy "working" together.
If you're watching this you need to turn off your phone and go outside and get some fresh air and stop wasting your time
Life is hard...it's even harder when you're stupid.
I believe that’s a John Wayne quote.👍
No its not. Ignorance is bliss, especially when its not your own car
As a car mechanic myself, there is a reason why they have a school/education for you to learn it the right way, safety regulations, propper tools etc. Also a bit of common knowledge would come in handy 😂
Wife - "why do you insist on taking everything to one mechanic you have known forever even though its a half hour trip one way?"
Me - shows this video
30 min drive is nothin. We'd drive 30min-1hour to Walmart, Lowe's, or wherever.
It always surprises me when I go to stamp a service book and it has a dozen different shops stamps in them. It's a great way to get big bills even with good mechanics because we don't know the true history of the vehicle.
how does a frontal airbag go off by just kicking a tire
Probably faked for views, it did appear to be the same model of car I think, I wasn’t paying that close of attention but it could be a flaw on the sensor in that model also but doubt
I've never seen it till now 😂
There are crash sensors both on the left side and the right side that detect hits. That's why the airbag went off.
if your knee smacks the fender in just the right place when you do it, you can actually jar the collision sensor enough to set them off- seen it happen...
@600wheel some cars have the sensor about 4" directly behind the headlight assembly, if your knee hits there by mistake- BOOM...
The level of idiocy in this video is astounding.
Literally none of these people should EVER be allowed in a shop, to work on anything, or to EVER operate a moving vehicle of ANY kind.
I don't trust most mechanic shops, especially Stealerships.
Ok, good for you.
Stealerships 😂😂👌👌
Finding a good mechanic is hard, and im not even talking pricewise just someone who can find and fix what is wrong with it and not just fire the parts cannon and hope it fixes the problem
I felt for the guy with his finger caught in the car spring. That hurt. The fire in the garage and everyone running around clueless then the guy with the fire extinguisher who doesn't know how to put out a fire is priceless.

Where did that happen? Why didnt you time stamp it?
@Luis-l9m7d15:20....
@Luis-l9m7d15:13...
5:21 that airbag isn’t gonna protect anyone the way it instantly popped lmao
More like it would have killed the poor person in the driver's seat.
you apparently know nothing about airbags
@rogerd4559um yes I do as I’ve been in an accident where an airbag saved my life. I think it’s you who knows nothing lmao.
You’re a twerp
@rogerd4559 you do know airbags are not supposed to “pop” right? They are supposed to only deflate. I’m pretty sure I know more than you bud, you’re just making yourself look dumb.
OMG.
These were all caught on camera. Imagine all those that weren't 😮
Tip of the ice burge
Having pocket lighter sized extinguishers that can't even extinguish a cigarette in a workshop is crazy.
O man the computer airbag deploy made me lol
Letting "the new guy" use a lift without showing them how is crazy irresponsible.
because he lied on his resume and said he had 5 years of experience
Auto insurance companies must love these guys.
It's more like vice versa because you can get away with anything in the shop world because insurance will cover it. But yeah that's exactly how it is mini screw-ups everyday nobody gets fired it's okay insurance got it covered. Yes that includes dealerships as well as I've been a mechanic for dealerships as well as independent and chain shops
At 12:34, they should have aimed the extinguisher at the bottom of the flames. He had it till he went for the top!
Guy needs some training.
tank was feeding the fire in that fire they were screwed
Please check music editing, it's unbearable.
I used to do emergency roadside and kicked plenty of tires rusted onto cars and never once seen an airbag deploy 😂😂😂... I'd be so embarrassed
Remember this video when you take a stand on immigration. Imagine the US full of mechanics like this, especially the guy at 6:48, mangling the hood instead of finding the latch, and sticking a pole into a running engine, all with the intention of making the car work better.
That's like the dumbest politicized argument ever....there are far better mechanics outside the US.. than within... And much more intelligent...
In USA it's called part changers not mechanics outside of US called mechanic in real.body shops they fix them not swapts parts 😂😂😂😂 need to travel out of ur trailer park buddy 😂😂😂
I will never go to a garage again...
You have to go to a garage again; it's mandatory for your inspection
Don't trust anyone who says, "I know what I'm doing"
4:03 A long time ago, I saw a movie where Steven Seagal kicked a car from the front and the airbag deployed, and I was amazed, saying, "What nonsense!" But now I believe that it is possible for that to happen in the right place and time.
yeah but what about the 100, 000 dollars for another airbag replacement the customer is going to have to pay?
WTF happened at 12:35? Did that guy just spontaneously combust!? He's just standing there... then he's spewing flames out of his right hand like the human torch!
it’s hard to beat the ingenuity @ 0:30,,, jacking points 2.0 😂
3:35 when he said he was gonna start flipping cars to make some money... 😂😂😂
7:12 in Mother Russia, if powerbarn no go open, you make open anyway
21:21 as soon as he started popping off at the mouth, I'm climbing up and pushing that washing machine onto the ground and taking my truck.
The extinguisher was a co2 and worked exactly as intended, even in skilled hands they will stir up a liquid based fire, difficult to put any fire out. over 20 years fire extinguisher testing
17:45 This bondo job gives a new meaning to cave and pave.

That huge yellow box falling over face first, would be a heart attack
Dont put all your eggs in one basket.
why did that happen? did the wheels break off?
@rogerd4559The wheels didn't break off. The mechanic tried to move the cabinet with several drawers opened and it's center of gravity shifted when one of the closed drawers slid open sending the entire thing to the floor.
Cheers for this fantastic collection of ws. bloopers!!
I Was a mechanic for 50 odd years, now HGV driver….
I very much enjoy this series of bloopers and share them with (oldtimer-…) mechanics, friends of mine…
On a more proffessional note:
17:45 Torquewrench is nice and wonderful, but a ‘mechanic’s sense of feeling’ has to prevail!!
If it doesn’t feel right IT ISN’T!!!
ANY mechanic with experience FEELS when tightening a bolt/nut is about to go wrong…, regardless what the torquewrench reads!!
It is exactly the same mistike as drivers following their navigation, ending up in a meadow…..
I was once accused of playing with fire by the new boss but I was really doing was demonstrating the effects of clean vs dirty fuel injectors. After he hollered at me my customer cussed him out and told he should listen to his people who know how to explain things.
He went out of business the next year.
For true idiots at work we should be seeing the Oval Office and Capital Hill
Capital hill is run by AI now
Those booger welds are what happen when you don't use argon gas while welding
12:00 my fingers hurt to see that guy stuck
3:36 Dih they really try to catch the truck with hands ?
16:45 You may laugh at the technique but it actually worked! Some fiberglass and some bondo and they're good to go!
How the hell is that you kick the wheel and the airbag activated. I dont understand.
computer thought it was a side impact.
still. the front airbag shouldn't have deployed
That's the new foreign enginuity, airbags are now active with the ignition off
6:33 This guy makes robust solutions.
Maybe not for water but still. 😂
My first serious failure as a new mechanic was when I did a brake flush on a newer Volvo. I let the reservoir run dry while bleeding. I let the car down off the lift, started it, and it went forward and into the wall of our shop while i was repeatedly slamming on the brake pedal in a blind panic. I learned that day and thankfully got to keep my job.
Edit-The customer was a 'waiter' and heard the carnage of her brand-new car hitting the wall and ran out of the waiting room to see what happened. I felt awful.
Little known fact: If you fill the reservoir and wait until tomorrow, the brake system will bleed itself. Well...maybe not on all models of cars.
@CM-tc6pp
Hey, pronouns matter, "she" was a "waitress" unless she had dangly bits below the belt, jus sayin.
I would tell you some if the idiotic mechanical fees I did in my younger years when I was either stoned, drunk, or more often than not both to make you feel better, but I dont have the time to write them all down, and if you had the time read them all, it would indicate that you are now what is termed as "an under-employed mechanic" and I would hate to make you feel worse than you already do.
Of course I'm razzing you....have a great day!
👍✌️🫡
How did the car start while in gear? it should only start in park?
@rogerd4559
I don't know anything about Volvos, not currently or past, but older standard transmissions would start in gear, the feature you're referencing didn't become a standard safety feature until sometime in the late 90s or later from my own experiences with Fords and Mazdas.
8:26 That's rich people nervous laugh right there 😅
İyi arabaları sadece iyi sürücüler kullanmalı. Acemiler değil. Bunda komik olan ne var ki gülüyorlar?
Some of these really make me question the future of humanity🤦♂
I feel for the guy at 3:24 because if you've ever taken truck tires off before you always almost had that happen....haven't done it in awhile but way we did was break the bead on the one side then slide the two bars in and let gravity do the work...but ther are sometimes when they just don't want to cooperate and I assume that this is one of those times😅
After watching this I don't feel so stupid for overflowing the oil drain.
That welder was certified in goober welding.
I'am so happy, living in Germany. You have to be 3 1/2 Years educated before you screw alone at other peoples cars. Education is everything!
When I did my apprenticeship in the UK it was 5 years 1970 to 75 to get quilifed
15:12 Oh... that's going to be a hard injurynto explain to the hospital.
I was wondering if anyone else caught that one. That shit was painful to watch.
ER nurses have seen it all, but the guy fumbling to explain it would probably make their day!
@seandknutsonI don't think there would be a fumble. Just a ton of disbelief until the guy gets his hands on the video footage or the hero who came to his rescue to prove he isn't making that story up.
7:01 please! Owe lordy lord! 😂
That’s DDE 😂 at 8:16
Airbags gping off that easy best be paid for by the manufactures.
I’ve been related by marriage to shade tree mechanics and I will never hire one but watching this video it’s clear that they have managed to get jobs in actual garages. But bc of the footage in this video and many more, they can’t prevent the thickness of their skulls from becoming blatantly apparent…
16:36 now fill the holes with caulk, sand it down and send it. Just kidding but seriously, those screws managed to pull the bulk of that dent out. I can see some jack-leg smearing 5-lbs of body filler in the dent instead of pulling as much of the dent out as possible…
3:46 I've witnessed an oil drain disaster and it's amazing how fast you can create so much mess
The airbags blowing off from kicking a tire is complete b.s.
Yes , they're all staged , the collision sensors are mounted on the body , if they were on the wheels the bags and seats would go off every time you hit a pothole ! Also , fooling around with compressed air is not funny, it can kill or maim in a split second and change your or a workmates life forever.
@bobgorman9481I know a guy who was killed in a sawmill playin with compressed air exactly like in this video it went into his intestines and blew his guts up, he died on the spot. Joker thought it would be funny to goose his buddies ass with 110 psi from a blow down wand
@600wheel I think there is a video floating around of someone in a factory that did similar with an air hose and the guy he did it to died.
That happened in Ireland too. A guy got 35 psi up the hole as a "practical joke." He lived and recovered if I remember rightly, but nearly died. Three or four lads got two years in prison for it. Imagine being that dumb.
@AiYu84 in trade school one of the earliest things they teach you is not to mess with compressed air….. or hydraulic leaks lol

Call it in. Unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
The cops will come and laugh at you, maybe even arrest you for wasting their time
Never use chrome sockets to pull wheels. Especially on an impact
The sick part is these people are all charging $150 an hour!
Mechanics having one of those days 😂 These moments are both crazy and hilarious!
The clown at the end checking brakes should be checking the inside pad , if he knows any thing at all , and of cause he does not
0:44 impossible to see, but I have a feeling the vehicle was severely rusted underneath and all of the normal jack points were too compromised. Although if the shop doesn't have a drive on lift, declining the vehicle is usually the better call.
12:47 IMPROPER FIRE EXTINGUISHER FOR THAT TYPE OF FIRE
that and improper use of one.
i feel like am lost everything 🤑😬👎💥⚔️
Lmmfao that oil pan was actually impressive…🤣😭
13:01 having the correct type of extinguisher is important..... that things making the fire worse 😂 and he tried to put the top of th flame out too. Yikes and other guy ran around clueless of where to even look for one....
Well Oiled brake pads are my favorite! 👌
At least they are squeak free lol
why in hell would he do that?
@rogerd4559for smooth and quite working brakes 🤣
Last one only checked on pad one side.
The blatant disrespect for compressed springs...."almost died laughing"....someone might have almost died indeed 😇
Agreed. And in order to compress the spring when assembling it on the new strut, spring compressors will be required. Why not rent/buy/borrow the compressors prior to disassembly? But, I’ve made a mistake or 2 over the years. Dave in Omaha
I don't understand how kicking a wheel can set off an air bag. For a start the key would need to be on and someone sitting in the seat
I think the scantool did it
@garnetshaw Something that I thought of? pretty much the only way it could happen 🙂
That is how the Chinese assemble cars now, by their own design
This is why I am 65 years old and have never taken my vehicles to a mechanic. I am a mechanic and I'm proud to say I've never f***** anything up. Yet!
All these mechanics were much better than mine.
Um, story time? You can't just leave us hanging like that
The axle knocking the wall 😂😂
Around the 12:15 minute mark goes to show how some people shouldn't be allowed to work in a shop or garage.
I know that without the proper tools, one shouldn't take short cuts, or use crappy tools.
As you can see, you can lose a finger, or worse.
Some of these people should never be inside a garage.
THATS WHY I FIX MY OWN
12:52. Should have paid more attention during fire safety training. 😂
3:24 OMG 😂😂😂 side show Bob the mechanic!
And this is exactly why I do everything myself! To many idiots out there.
Said every person in this video.
I admire the open toe saftey sandals seen at 8:02.
Derka derka, sherpa sherpa.
