A few years ago, attempted a job my car. I screwed up. Took it to my mechanic and told him what I did and admitted I screwed up. He was thrilled, and said, “Thanks for telling me. Most people lie and make everything more difficult”. It’s humbling, but better than blaming “the other shop”.

And it's so easy to remove the ignition start unit. You just have to remove one ring at the top and you can take it out downside by removing one of the covers.
Some people will do anything to impress their friends. They will buy high end car like Ferrari, McLaren, Lamborghini, Mercedes, Porsche, Bentley or (God forbid) Maserati but when they find out the cost of regular maintenance or repairs, the shock is too much to bear, so they drive them till the wheels fall off
At least find an aircraft mechanic who wants to do a little moonlighting. Your average ASE certified tech isn't at all qualified to work on a vehicle that can do 230MPH but any certified aviation maintenance tech is. Just look at pro racing. A significant percentage of mechanics come from an aviation background, for obvious reasons.
Back in 1989 the navy had me at Treasure Island in San Francisco . With nothing to do I wondered around and found a civilian working on a car. It was a 1928 Packard Limo. He told me he knew a guy who attended an auction of abandoned/lost train car haulers and bid on two unseen as not allowed to look inside. He won the 2 rail cars and when he looked inside, both were full capacity of 1957 Chevy Bel Airs, keys and paperwork in the glove compartment straight from the factory. Only miles were from the factory to the rail car.

This narrator here just did a pretty good job and is what we're accustomed to.
It's really great to hear your voice again, Mr JRI! The only repairs I saw that I approve of is the tape applied over the dash warning lights. It's like turning the radio up when you hear a funny noise.
I often don't care about the problem that the warning light is yelling at me about. Airbag? No shiz...i ripped the fuse out to shut up the dinging. Check engine?...minor evap leak...no shiz, the muffler is gone. Seat belt? No shiz...I'm dumb. Only a small piece of tape is necessary though. That was overkill.
Back in the mid 90's, my mother had her 86 Suzuki Samauri repaired after an accident. The body shop claimed the rear axle was bent and had the axle replaced. However, the shop that did the work neglected to fill the axle with gear oil. It wasn't discovered until after it had been driven home about 10 miles and my mother had me do a once-over on it to make sure everything was good. Also found most of the spring mount bolts loose.
Back in the early 90s, I got a 1980 Volkswagen Dasher - essentially a 4 door wagon version of a rabbit; had a little diesel engine. It needed new CV joints. Chilton Manual to the rescue!! I got it done; took it to the nearby shop to get the front end aligned. Mech said I'd done a great job! He even noted that I did the right thing by using a new solid CV joint boot rather than the split boot most people get.. I was proud of that one!
@samholdsworth420 Perhaps later, but the 1980 shared many body panels with a Rabbit - I was able to use a right front fender from a Rabbit and it fit almost perfectly. Mine was white with a tan interior. VERY comfortable to ride in, fun to drive. The engine finally gave up and cost too much for me to have fixed or replaced - I really hated giving it up..
@RoundShades To be honest, that thought hadn't crossed my mind! Had I goofed, I would have admitted it and asked them to fix it... I was too naive at the time to do anything else..!
I now feel really good. 7 days to fix my ride-on mower. Last Sunday it lost all drive, forward or reverse. Pulled it all apart, found a linkage had broken off at the weld in the rear drive assembly. But 4 idler pulleys and the drive belt were shot. Replaced all the broken bits, welded up the linkage, adjusted the "clutch " and damn if it doesnt go better than it ever did, and no leftover parts! 😂 $170 of parts, and didnt need to visit the "other shop" !! Lol
Well, you can get away with that when redline is 1200rpm and your 7l motor makes less power than a Predator V-Twin from Harbor Freight. Most of the gas you're burning is just to keep the motor turning over.
Years ago I worked in a garage next to a tyre shop and they had a customer come in with a 1 year old Bentley and he needed 2 tyres as they were bald, he ended up getting 2 part worns fitted. No one could believe it
This shows how important it is to not only maintain your vehicle with oil changes but also to find a good mechanic who knows what they are doing and doesn't over charge.
There are a few (not this many!) bad jobs done by "another shop". Case in point: many many years ago a friend of ours had his oil changed at the dealership where he bought the car. They failed to put the oil filler cap back on (left the metal cap sitting on the radiator) and then slammed the hood down. Customer didn't appreciate the new look of his hood, and the dealership got to fix it free of charge. But most of these are just brother-in-law Biff in his backyard with his "I can make it fit" philosophy.

One of my first jobs, back in the early 70s, was gas jockey at a small gas station with one mechanic who was a very recent high school grad. In hindsight, it was "another shop" based on the talent, or lack there of, that one mechanic possessed. He had a "left over parts" drawer that quickly filled to overflowing. And he he was fond of disabling warning lights.
Every mechanic that fixes problems from "another shop" should eviscerate and insult the work done while talking to those customers, just to see how upset they get at "another shop's" work being insulted 😂
i got tape over 4 of mine. 515,000 miles, over half a mil. it cant be cant be wrong rite?. not recommended tho. I fart or hit a bump and a warning light comes on so i covered them. temperature and oil pressure is all i concern myself with on engine.
“This is a 1924 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost” Thank God this was just for show, and not because the owner tried to fix it up using spray foam and duct tape! That would have been a tragedy.
The customer put water in his engine and then turned the vehicle off immediately after he realized what he had done. That's being dumb and smart at the same time!
A Bentley. With a moldy interior. What kind of person has the “savoir faire” to want a Bentley, but doesn’t mind MOLD?! EDIT: I used “savior faire” sort of wrongly; it’s closer to “social grace”. But I meant “swank” or “swagger”. You know... “rizz”, unless that’s already obsolete! Lol!
i always love the way. people say.. it was my friend or another shop when it was them that did it. but and only a few people admit that they fluffed up trying to do the work themselves.
My first car was a 1968 Pontiac LeMans. I drove the livin' hell outta that car and at one point, a hydraulic lifter was not functioning correct and it was chewing-up the push-rods. I was poor, -work three part-time jobs and barely made $100-150 per week. A cheap solution was to have a handful of 'used but good' push-rods in my toolbox, and a modified rocker-arm to have a washer welded to 'deepen the cup' to receive the top end of the push-rod... when the engine started misfiring too badly, pop the valve cover off (it had a neoprene-rubber gasket so it came off/on easily enough) and slip-out the worn push-rod and drop in a new one, re-tighten the rocker arm and replace the valve cover and we're good to go (for a few more hundred miles.) I drove this thing to Colorado and back twice (from New York) until a mechanically-inclined friend told me to just pull the hydraulic lifter out (replace it) -which I did. It was 'flared' a bit on the bottom end where it contacts the camshaft so a bit of flat-filing was done (with a few clean cloths strategically placed to catch the filing shavings, got the lifter out, dropped new one in, replaced everything and it ran for a few thousand more miles until ...the transmission crossbeam was discovered to be eroded and had holes so sold the car to my best friend and we entered the car in the Demolition Derby at the County Fair that year... he got 'black flagged' quick when the gas-tank fell off the car(!!) but it was a fun car, gave me 4 or 5 years of use. Good friggin' times!!!
I had a body shop install a counterfeit radiator assembly on my Jetta and return the vehicle with AC inop and coolant gushing from the car. I wasn't about to give those clowns a chance to break some more stuff so I took it to a competent indie Euro specialist mechanical shop. Even though the front of the car was all smashed up and leaking coolant after the wreck, the AC actually still worked when I dropped it off at the body shop. I'm just glad there was no frame damage because the body shop definitely would have botched that repair. There were also some fisheyes in the paint, the sign of a shop that can't even properly do the work they specialize in. Unfortunately I couldn't sue them because they were already in bankruptcy by the time I went to file. The body shop no longer exists so at least I can take some comfort from that.
I recently took my Jaguar to a well known high street store on the UK for a new battery; it quickly became obvious that the four, yes 4, “fitters” who attempted the work had no idea what they were doing so I got them to stop and replace what they had removed. I took it to the dealer who did the job properly, it did however cost me appreciably more. Sometimes you’ve just got to pay the money for the right job.
The only way I would buy a Lambo would be if I got a great deal on a used one and did all the work myself. I wouldn't even trust a Lambo factory tech. Being an aviation maintenance tech trumps that, in spades.
11:09 haha, that knock sensor (black round knob looking thing with hexbolt) didn't even know what to make of the reading it got that day, but it kept hanging on courageously, anyway!
how do you even add 7 gallons of oil and not realize you're doing something wrong?... and then the welds... i love how they just keep going... stevie wonder could see those are not welds... why wouldn't you just stop and actually learn how to make a bead???
I’ve replaced so many brake lines. I used to buy the prebent ones that are made for specific models but I realized real quick that those need bending too so I just started buying the rolls of brake line and a better bender kit and a nice flaring kit too. It’s sucks but it’s worth it, you can get autos cheep that have leaking brake lines or hoses.
Mold is simple Vehicle sat with a door or the windows open, it rained and they closed the vehicle with a wet interior. All that humidity amd the summer heat gave the mold a perfect environment to flourish. I see it often at my auto auction.

Bubba's Auto Repair and Bait Shop.
Crack head at the scrap yard.
Probably costed more than the door
I can hear it saying, "kill me".
The owner of the truck… 😂😂
05:09 gets points for honesty. No "other shop nonsense"
Every mechanic that fixes problems from "another shop" should eviscerate and insult the work done while talking to those customers, just to see how upset they get at "another shop's" work being insulted 😂
The RAM 3500 Range Rover hybrid is a classic!
This DIY is basically DIWhy
DIhow
Good idea to put tape over warning lights. If you can't see them, everything must be okay.
Or, if you really want to go high class, do what Mr. Ferrari at 4:08 did and spray paint over the warning lights.
i got tape over 4 of mine. 515,000 miles, over half a mil. it cant be cant be wrong rite?. not recommended tho. I fart or hit a bump and a warning light comes on so i covered them. temperature and oil pressure is all i concern myself with on engine.
@@t1tooi can't tell if you're joking
I really enjoy these longer videos. 3 minutes is not enough time for your awesome channel.
That Rolls-Royce is a masterpiece of engineering. Beautiful machine.
Time for the "Another shop" drinking game. Line'em up. We're about to get hammered. lmao
I liked those welds up at the beginning. They were really good. Are they done by throwing bits of molten metal onto the surface?
The clip of the Silver Ghost is much too short.
Lambo Urus - 241,000 dollars: Sure
Driving on Rims - 20,000 dollars: Why not
Getting it towed - 140 dollars: No way!
It’s always “another shop”…😆😂🤣
“This is a 1924 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost”
Thank God this was just for show, and not because the owner tried to fix it up using spray foam and duct tape! That would have been a tragedy.
I really love this channel! There's just no limit to the automotive creative stupidity you guys bring to us!
"Another shop" , "A friend" .. LOL every time people be lying
Incredible content! Thanks for the Rolls at the end.
you know most of these were the customers did the work and F-ed it up and blamed " a different shop "🤣
Haha that "other shop!" 🤣
The detonated BMW block is cool 💥👍
This is what happens when you slap a cheap Chinese turbo on an internally stock motor and then crank up the boost to the max.
The customer put water in his engine and then turned the vehicle off immediately after he realized what he had done. That's being dumb and smart at the same time!
Every time I feel dumb, I watch your videos and suddenly I get my confidence back👌
I can’t believe people treat their cars this way!
the rangerover hood on the ram is the craziest thing ive ever seen! even still the lettering on there! wow
A Bentley. With a moldy interior. What kind of person has the “savoir faire” to want a Bentley, but doesn’t mind MOLD?!
EDIT: I used “savior faire” sort of wrongly; it’s closer to “social grace”. But I meant “swank” or “swagger”. You know... “rizz”, unless that’s already obsolete! Lol!
It’s quite the conundrum.😂
1:15 if they won’t tell you what shop fcked up their car they did it themselves or it was their neighbour’s friend’s friend his cousin 😂😂😂
i always love the way. people say.. it was my friend or another shop when it was them that did it. but and only a few people admit that they fluffed up trying to do the work themselves.
Another shop, Another shop. I can't stand it anymore!
And this is why i am so thankful to have the ability to work on my own stuff! Some people shouldnt be anywhere near a car or fking tools!
Glad the old voice is back!
My first car was a 1968 Pontiac LeMans. I drove the livin' hell outta that car and at one point, a hydraulic lifter was not functioning correct and it was chewing-up the push-rods. I was poor, -work three part-time jobs and barely made $100-150 per week. A cheap solution was to have a handful of 'used but good' push-rods in my toolbox, and a modified rocker-arm to have a washer welded to 'deepen the cup' to receive the top end of the push-rod... when the engine started misfiring too badly, pop the valve cover off (it had a neoprene-rubber gasket so it came off/on easily enough) and slip-out the worn push-rod and drop in a new one, re-tighten the rocker arm and replace the valve cover and we're good to go (for a few more hundred miles.) I drove this thing to Colorado and back twice (from New York) until a mechanically-inclined friend told me to just pull the hydraulic lifter out (replace it) -which I did. It was 'flared' a bit on the bottom end where it contacts the camshaft so a bit of flat-filing was done (with a few clean cloths strategically placed to catch the filing shavings, got the lifter out, dropped new one in, replaced everything and it ran for a few thousand more miles until ...the transmission crossbeam was discovered to be eroded and had holes so sold the car to my best friend and we entered the car in the Demolition Derby at the County Fair that year... he got 'black flagged' quick when the gas-tank fell off the car(!!) but it was a fun car, gave me 4 or 5 years of use. Good friggin' times!!!
Miss the old days when you could just pull out the bulb from The warning Light
I miss the days when I could read the Check Engine code with a paperclip. 📎
If all these other shops did these horrendous repairs why don't these people take them back to that shop to get it fixed correctly?
I had a body shop install a counterfeit radiator assembly on my Jetta and return the vehicle with AC inop and coolant gushing from the car. I wasn't about to give those clowns a chance to break some more stuff so I took it to a competent indie Euro specialist mechanical shop. Even though the front of the car was all smashed up and leaking coolant after the wreck, the AC actually still worked when I dropped it off at the body shop. I'm just glad there was no frame damage because the body shop definitely would have botched that repair. There were also some fisheyes in the paint, the sign of a shop that can't even properly do the work they specialize in. Unfortunately I couldn't sue them because they were already in bankruptcy by the time I went to file. The body shop no longer exists so at least I can take some comfort from that.
I’m a retired mechanic after 34 years, and never ceases to amaze me watching these videos.😲🙄😆
I recently took my Jaguar to a well known high street store on the UK for a new battery; it quickly became obvious that the four, yes 4, “fitters” who attempted the work had no idea what they were doing so I got them to stop and replace what they had removed. I took it to the dealer who did the job properly, it did however cost me appreciably more. Sometimes you’ve just got to pay the money for the right job.
first clip - Lamborghini - and you change your own oil? face palm.
The only way I would buy a Lambo would be if I got a great deal on a used one and did all the work myself. I wouldn't even trust a Lambo factory tech. Being an aviation maintenance tech trumps that, in spades.
11:09 haha, that knock sensor (black round knob looking thing with hexbolt) didn't even know what to make of the reading it got that day, but it kept hanging on courageously, anyway!
The original narrator is back! Hope his new family are doing well 🙂
Tasmanian Devil continues to mill through everything in it's path. 😂
how do you even add 7 gallons of oil and not realize you're doing something wrong?... and then the welds... i love how they just keep going... stevie wonder could see those are not welds... why wouldn't you just stop and actually learn how to make a bead???
Love the accusatory "apparently" every time "another shop" is mentioned. 😊
That Rolls sounds amazing!!!
Damn, some people are not meant to have a car
I’ve replaced so many brake lines. I used to buy the prebent ones that are made for specific models but I realized real quick that those need bending too so I just started buying the rolls of brake line and a better bender kit and a nice flaring kit too. It’s sucks but it’s worth it, you can get autos cheep that have leaking brake lines or hoses.
How does one go from 10 liters of engine oil to 28 liters, how did that happen? 🤣
He kept filling it up because he could see the rockers.
@@georgejohnson7591 Maybe the owner thought the liters of the engine was also the oil amount?😜
@@TheArchaos I doubt he was capable of that level of thought.
No dipstick except for him being one.
Very good one, thanks again as always.
Mold is simple
Vehicle sat with a door or the windows open, it rained and they closed the vehicle with a wet interior. All that humidity amd the summer heat gave the mold a perfect environment to flourish. I see it often at my auto auction.
Yay the good narrator is back.
Nope, try again. These are clips from old videos.
The Tasmanian devil plush toy holding the ignition might be the best repair I have ever seen.
The black tape to hide the warning lights just kills me 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now, if what happened to that Urus happened to any other car, the repairs would probably cost like, $2k, but, with the Lambo tax, it's $20k.
You could get like 90% of those parts for an RSQ8 and save probably 12 to 15 of that
That rolls at the end is such a beauty
Thanks for the palate cleanser at the end.
Tape over the warning lights is legendary 😂😂😂
