- Hey guys, today we have a car powered by Mountian Dew and regret. Customer states that the check engine light is on and that the oil light is flickering on and off. Well, there is only oil on the tip of the dip stick and the front bumper is falling off. is there flavor you might ask, you bet! Enjoy!
It’s a double edge sword to watch one mechanic’s slow descent into madness as while I’m sympathetic to the daily frustration and struggles of said insane mechanic, it’s entertaining as well.
"Why do they always come to me to die?"

😄😁😆😅😂🤣
"Powered by Mountain Dew and Regret" - CSW is a poet for the ages!
Watch a video from zip ties and bias plies, that guy has the best sayings
What happened after you added oil
😛😂
"I hate cars". 🤣 know the feeling. 40 years in the industry left me physically and mentally damaged. Say no more!
I worked for years with an older tech who would say at least once a day "cars are my life...I hate my life" 🤣🤣🤣
It's probably not so much the piece of machinery that it causes burnout.. its the owner of said machinery
The local used car lot would call this rolling junkyard a "One owner beauty".
"Lightly used"
Value of this car is depending on if the gas tank is full or empty.
and how old that fuel is
Catalytic converter also
I have worked in just about every aspect of auto / truck repair and I have to say I actually enjoyed working at dealers because years ago you hardly ever got junk. Crap cars went to garages / gas stations, not dealers. If the customer refused the work, you still got paid something for your effort. (but now the dealer was robbing them) We only used OEM parts and they always fit the car. We always got paid enough to fix it right the first time as well.... or the customer went elsewhere. IOW, I went home at 4 pm and never had anything left on my mind at the end of a day. If you worked on fleet vehicles, that's another story. Depending on the fleet you could die on a job and just keep stroking for as long as it took. The bean counters never bought new vehicles before the budget allowed, but always bitched at repair costs, despite them being spread out over time. I actually had to spell it out with a spread sheet at one point to show the boss we spent almost $20k on a van that was 8 years old and had almost 200k on the clock because another bean counter in another office said there was no budget money for a replacement.
"Let me show you this simple spreadsheet which indicates how dumb you're actually being...."
I bought a sentra for dirt cheap from a buddy of mine(original owner) that had 250k mi. It has the low revving 1.8ltr. I love that little car! As soon as I got it home, I flushed the oiling system using a new filter & new oil, followed by another oil & filter change immediately after the flush, a honda style transmission flush which took a few days, new air filter, coil packs, plugs, PCV valve, purge valve, rotors, pads, tires, belts, hoses, radiator, coolant flush, brake fluid flush. I love the way it accelerates when I keep the revs between 2500-3k. It's peak torque comes in at 2500rpm, so can I drive it like a granny and still get around fairly easily without getting in anyone's way including getting up to 65: Just keep the revs at 2500, and it's good! I always signal & shoulder check, I always warm it up every time I start the car unless it's already close to operating temp, or has been parked for less than an hr. I rarely ever drive it above 65 when I'm on the freeways. I just stay in the slow lane & let ppl pass me, or let them in front of me. It's more fun around the turns than at high speed anyways. So there's no point in thrashing a car that has been well maintained it's entire life. It never burned or leaked any oil. It's Cheap to own, & a reliable daily driver. Small Sentra Energy works just fine for me, thanks. The smaller the energy, the better😆😆😆 I'm in no rush
Teetering on the edge of insanity today boys! Proper funny, made me laugh actually out loud. Thank you 🤣😂
I don’t think you hate cars. I think you hate car owners that neglect all maintenance.
Yeah, CSW performing a multipoint inspection on one of my cars would make his day! Say no more!
Speaking as a Brit it’s frightening the number of states that don’t require a basic annual roadworthiness check. These are death traps - if not for the driver then the person they hit. Let’s not go near seatbelts.
I just proved seat belts save lives and prevent serious injuries, and I did it the hard way. Just call me Crash Test.
Yes. Note that when a car won't pass a state inspection they can just ship to it a state without inspections and sell it legally. Many these Northern US rusty dangerous cars end up in the Southern states with owners ignorant to the issue.
Its not cars that you hate.. You LOVE cars...
It's the PEOPLE that have NO CLUE how to maintain or dont care to maintain their purchase that you hate...
"Hate" is such a distasteful word; CSW prefers "intensely despise with extreme prejudice".
“Powered by Mountain dew and regrets” sounds like my life 😂😅🤣
Not the cars fault, it's the owner who doesn't care, and just drives it until something fails
I'm with you man ... but lack of maintenance on a Nissan? You're looking for double trouble!
Uh oh!!...we got CSW sounding maniacal again!!
Just wait for the CSW states
No matter what industry your in, you learn to hate it rapidly.
The grass is always greener. All the finance people want to be chefs or something, all the construction people want to "get a cushy office job". All the office people want to get outside and get some fresh air.
Because work is work. Its not a hobby. You are REQUIRED to do it to get a check.
I’m retired and am/was a full time photographer. My 2016 Sienna XLE has over 300,000 miles. My 1987 purchased new and with EVERY option, Supra Turbo Targa top has 286,000 miles and it’s perfect. My wife drives her 2013 Avalon but she only has 70,000 miles. My mechanic calls me OCD with regards to maintenance and has actually told me to get out of his shop and go home at times when I bring one of the cars over! I love him. He’s worked on all my cars since around the 90’s. But I’m fastidious with maintenance. I’m also a freak about proper tire pressure and regular under the hood stuff! My neighbors always visit - especially when I pull the 5 speed Supra Turbo out for a Saturday spin.
Repairs are worth more than the car!
Declined multi point huh...
"I'm going to decline it, i don't need your tech to upsell me anything!"
Every customer ever: “I was hoping to get a few more years out it.” Nobody ever wants to replace big ticket items necessary for daily life. And every technician I know hates what he works on.
What do you mean by this 'necessary' thing you speak of?? :)
CSW OMG dude you crack me up. If you ever think of leaving your career for another, may I suggest a comedian, you would be amazing at it. LMAO :) Hang in there brother and someday you will retire and sit back and watch the other jamokes on RUclips doing it as we do. :)
I worked for a hospital as an X-ray tech. It was fun for a while, but I hated it in a few years. Then I worked for Motorola making semiconductors on round silicone platters. Fun at first, then I hated it. Then, wanting a change of pace, I worked in a hobby shop while I figured out what the hell I was going to do with my life. That was a fun job, but no money in it, so off I went to a dental lab making teeth out of ceramic. Fun at first, but you know the rest.
So now I build hot rods and restore muscle cars, which is what I always wanted to do but never did because everyone said not to make your hobby into your career, or you would eventually hate your hobby. But they were wrong! I don't hate my job or my hobby, I only mildly dislike them now, and the money's pretty good, so here I am living the dream; having a job that doesn't completely suck!
A man I knew owned a hobby shop, and got so he didn't do any more hobbying. Once he sold the shop and only worked one job, his hobbies returned.
What pisses me off is that we share the same highways and streets with these cars. I installed 4 new tires one day, I was driving home from the tire shop just for a shitbox in front of me to drop his whole exhaust on the L.I.E. 2 new tires lasted 4 miles.
OUCH!!
NY is tough. Good luck
This car owner reminds me of my uncle, he had a Chevy wagon that wouldn’t start, we pulled off the air cleaner cover and extracted enough dirt to paint petunias in a flower box.
Possibly a reason why insurance rates are so high? A new "unsafe at any speed."
5:17 don't hate cars hate people who dont take good care of thier cars
It's a Nissan. Hate the car, too.
BAE special! All that and the only concern is the CEL. People are amazing.
Color matched duct tape! Classy!
It's the details that define a true professional, no matter how Gombah the job is done.
You make it sound like this is unusual. All cars today are built like crap with crappy parts. What a shock!
you don't need a new PROFESSION, what you NEED is a new LOCATION !
One where there is NO road salt, vehicles EASILY last 20+ years
Where is this Paradise, this Utopia?
And/or real annual inspectons, junk like this should not be on the road. I don't want someone comming towards me without brakes!
@@300DBenz for starters, southwest MS, Jerry Clower country ! Still driving my original owner 75 Monte Carlo and 01 F250 crew cab, long bed 7.3. No rust like what I see in your videos, horrible ! BTW, good mechanics are hard to find down here
Yeah come to the southern states. Most of the rusted newer cars here are ones shipped from rust belt states. Car carriers bring a load of Jersey cars down, take a load of Texas cars back up.
Undercoating, baby
"Just the tip" sounds like me high school days 😆
Yes, Matt, I remember; you told all the guys that, and we ignored you and made you take all of it.
CSW move to Texas. You will not have rusted out 3 yr. old cars, unless they have moved down here. The amount of varmint problems will be less but you will have to deal with the same number of idiots
May need the upgrade to Gorilla Tape. Running on Mountain Dew and regrets, maybe even Unicorn Dreams, yeah! Thanks, Vince
That thing us nothing but flavor . I could only imagine the flavor on the inside lol
Duct tape is nascar style.
"Rust and smoke my car is all broke, in my rusty old Chevrolet. "
I can see your young tech friend doesn’t have much experience dipping his stick into holes….. Giggity!
Might have been interesting to have put the oil in and ran the engine at some point during the 5 min video.
Sadly, so many people think the oil pressure light is the same as a low level light. Because so many owners never lift the bonnet (hood), and have no idea what a dipstick looks like, where to find it, or what to do with it, most manufacturers are now fitting level sensors. Sadly, then they do away with the dipstick, to save money, so we have to wait for the level to get low before topping up. Less oil, makes it work harder, so more wear, and a shorter engine life. My next car purchase will include the question, "Does it have a dipstick?"
a dipstick is the guy who sits behind the wheel.
These springs will outlast this car 😂😂😂😂 👌👌
This video made me 😂😂😂 so dang much
The more I sell cars... the more I really start to hate the people who buy them. Feel u buddy... I used to be a service advisor. LOL
Those are them new fangled Bluetooth brake dust shields and exhaust shields...lol
Don't forget the USB 3.1 Blinker Fluid systems.
Some people should just walk. I often wonder how some people are able to get an license when they crash all the time, go 5-30mph under the speed limit, & treat there vehicles like garbage.
More like 10-40 OVER the speed limit. Just had a moron use a left turn only lane and an intersection to cut me off in the adjacent through lane, then cross another lane of traffic so he could make the expressway on-ramp. I really wish these idiots would crash, burn, and die anymore.
I think you need to tell the Customer that "the car needs everything EXCEPT the interior fabric, rear bumper, rear springs and the 4 tires replaced... and you might be able to salvage a light bulb or 2 but no promises...
Should I go ahead and just tell the Sales Manager to order you a new car and toss this one on the scrap heap?"
😄😁😆😅😂🤣
Sounds like my life Caffeine, Nicotine, and Regret.
Fievel has covid had me. 🤣😂
The deteriorating state of mind in this video was funny yet painful 🤦♂️ that car doesn’t belong on the road, or anywhere but a scrapyard.
1 owner, adult owned, NEVER taken off road, oil change EVERY time the light comes on.
Just took it in for some work and it runs GREAT!!!
Selling because my wife told me to, my loss your gain!!!!
DO NOT LOW-BALL ME, I KNOW WHAT I HAVE!!!
"I hate cars" CSW read too much Sartre over the weekend. This experience now defines your existence. Welcome to the bleakness of our world.
“Just the tip!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm currently looking at this car thinking AAA battery is the only thing working right on that car. MAN WHAT A POS.
It's literally a rats nest on wheels 🤣
Holy shit this thing is like the twin to my Maxima that I had. All the same issues and even the same color lmfao
This is the first one i have seen where he sounds like it actually might quit
The kind of vehicle I do not want in front of me on the road or freeway.
No engine oil, engine seizes, car . . . . you get the idea.
That is why I don't patch/weld muffler pipes at my shop, because that is what you find (customer almost always wants cheap quick fix).🙀
you can fix that easily by telling people that welding is a specialty repair, starting at $100. (with no warranty) The next part is about there being nothing to weld to. IOW, if it's rotted away then there's nothing to repair.
laughed my ass off the whole time
I thought my car was a bad 🤣🤣🤣
What money is gonna go to this car? They spent it on nails/lashes, or have denial at a level unheard of. 3qts low on an engine that only takes like 4 is unreal, and now the chain has stretched
Course they turned down the multi point! If you actually did one, it would be longer than the Build Back Better bill in Congress.
And make about as much sense, since the vehicle needs a lot of major work.
I know of two Auto Tech Teachers that bailed out of previous Stealerships jobs. Now they don't have to break their backs to make a living. They just have to put up with some kids that don't care to learn, placed in by a counselor. The counselor/kids believe that they should get a passing Grade just for showing up. I know, I'm a volunteer Automotive Technology Instructor Volunteer. I concentrate on those that want to learn, and don't waste time on those that don't.
Never trust anyone who declines the multipoint.
Comes from people treating their cars like appliances. A magic box that goes. They don't bother to learn how anything works, or do any maintenance. You don't have to be a mechanic to have a general idea of what does what, and how things work, and what kind of maintenance is required. And as a bonus, even that little bit of knowledge will keep you from getting scammed by crooked mechanics (which unfortunately there are a lot of out there). But nope, they'll neglect the oil until there's a rod knocking and then say "it won't go".
As a side note, if they have oil on "just the tip", the same thing is going to happen to that car (metaphorically) that happened in the actual "just the tip" video.
is that why cars come with an ' Owner's Manual ' ... but who READS anymore
New profession? Even brain surgeons find rust.
It's not the cars, it's the owners. You're lucky to work with a good assistant. Have to admit I got out of auto mechanics after about 10 years and found other ways to make money. I work on my own cars but really hate some of that work as I get older. Restoration is still a good thing to do, but not a whole lot of fun.
"Found other ways to make money"....."FBI! Search Warrant!" :)
Lol. Mountain dew energy drink commercial came on at the end of the video
No it did not 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@customerstateswhat yeah no shit
This is why annual saftey inspections are improtant
Nice flavour in the exhaust. Not for nothing it's rattling down the road
A little oil, a few Zip Ties and baling wire, she'll be good as new. 😁 Fifel needs a home, not sure why you make a big deal..........😂
Was out with a friend in his ratty old car and he was stopped by a copper who walked round and round the car and finally grabbed the front wing and said "I know, Sir, that they're called 'wings', but they're not supposed to flap." He got a producer (take his documents to cop shop with proof that car was fixed).
hahah there was a legit can of Mt. Dew in the console. hahahaha
Was there !!!!? I didn't even notice!
@@customerstateswhat Hah, yea at @3:39 when you were looking at the duct tape. Maybe it's a sprite, But I'm going to just say it's a mt. dew and if i'm wrong I don't want to know. lol
We have gained a few ex car mechanics that once they finally have enough of cars have transferred over to forklifts.
Seriously, I have never have a Fiefel, no one that I know ever...Do You live in the frockin rainforest? Waiting for snakes and 'gators to come through! :-)
"Cars..the more I'm in this industry the more I hate them"
Man this video had me rolling
I love vehicles. They made me so much money... I buy new tools every week...
It's not the Industry, its the location. If I didn't know any better I would say your shop is a few miles from the salt flats from all those flavored cars you work on.
All cars in the Northeast rust eventually because salt on the roads 1/3 of the year. I was assuming this is Northern Jersey.
@ CSW; did both lights go out after you added 3 quarts of oil?
The oil you add has more value than that crap car. Watch out when you play just the tip, Fievel might bite it off. Thanks again making us laugh!
damm good one for a monday morn. vid.!!!
I think its time for CSW to graduate to working in a race shop. NO flavor, NO fiefel, and all the fasteners self identify as fasteners.
My ocd will be at ease 😌
@@customerstateswhat And...and....you could have local race track sluts in the shop! GIGGITTTTYYYY!! "Say, Tiger, why don't you inspect MY chassis?"
At least they are using Grade A Duct Tape - 3M, big spender!!!
Spare the duct tape- spare the job.
Nothing like Rust Belt cars. I have a Grand Caravan that is getting a little noisy so probably has some holes in the pipe also. Going to look under there now that weather is warming up. Difference between the Sentra and my van is I maintain it properly.
1:08
Aww geeze, it’s hard to go on Rick
In this video, even Fievel has (Sucrets) flavour.
Those coil springs are probably worth more than the vehicle is. And for the oil it's optional don't worry about it a little knocking won't hurt anything.
What you do is get a container of Dura-Lube and put that in the engine. Then let the customer drive away. They'll never know the difference, and it might run for awhile.
Look at this member , gigity !
In Germany driving this car on the road means one leg already in jail..
Really? What are the laws out there pertaining to rust buckets like this?
In France, it's nearly the same thing, driving a car in these conditition is perfectly illegal.
If you are driving private and the police stops you this car won't go one meter more. Never. Additionally a fine of easy 1000 Dollars. And 1 or more points in a register. Reaching 8 points you lose your license. Driving commercial for a company with this means 5000 Dollars and more. And they have an eye on you in future. Sorry for my French..
A funny joke means jail time in Germany.
@@mitchhedberg4415 "How do you make a Nazi cross??"..."You stamp on his instep!!"
pretty clear why they denied the multi point there is just so much they would rather not know about lol
CSW, you REALLY need to get out of the rust belt and head south. Cars still turn into shitboxes, but at least the bolts come out without a torch! You are beginning to sound as demented as you were at the 4 rings!
Nearly every Nissan I've seen is in this condition
Even Fievel moved out of that rust bucket. He's trading in his Nissan for a Toyota. I think that song works better with Chevy and Cadillac (ack, ack, ack ack ack). "If that's movin up then I'm movin out". 🎶
Dig Safe!! 😂
in all fairness other than the oil light, it pretty much looks like every mechanics winter beater car in the northeast
Did adding oil resolve the code?
The fact that this car is rusted on the entire bottom of the car is really saying something about quality...
Also dismissing how some parts of the car have completely come off...
That thing needs to be put down Ol’ Yeller style good god man you can see why they declined the multipoint even looking side eyed wrong towards that piece of shit might blow it up 🤦🏻♂️
Needing a new profession you say? You could move to the ocean, open a tackle/ bait store, and become a master baiter.
Too late
@@customerstateswhat 😂
It’s ready for the junkyard
It’s sad how bad people neglect their cars
Don't hate the cars, hate the indifferent, irresponsible and stupid owners...
It's a Nissan Altima, not surprised.
