There’s more to being a car mechanic than trying to sell you everything under the hood. Sometimes they share pics of their crazy car mechanic stories in the popular subreddit r/Justrolledintotheshop for all to see. You never know what will pull up and sometimes, it’s not even the car, it’s the owner. We hope you enjoy the following examples of what just rolled into the shop!
