There’s more to being a mechanic than trying to sell you everything under the hood. Mechanics see a lot of crazy stuff. It makes sense because they see so many different cars every day.
From filthy messes to live animals, you never know what will roll into the shop. These mechanics just had to take a pic of it.
1. “Can’t explain to the elderly that they don’t need an oil change after 8mo/23 miles.”
2. “Customer bought wheels and tires online, after advising multiple times that the tires are too small for his SUV he insisted for us to put them on. Tire Size: 225/45/17”
3. “Recently made a post on how much this career sucks and was looking at new careers. Maybe I should become a ram designer, no brain required it seems”
4. “2021 Ford Platinum less than 1000 miles oil pan. Wife’s new car had a catastrophic engine failure, this is the image they send us 3 weeks later.”
5. “Just saved this lil guy. I had to remove the front end of the vehicle to do it, but he is now free and alive and well”
6. “Friend in my math class asks me yesterday if I can help change his oil filter bc it’s been stuck and nobody has been able to get it off. Turns out it’s been stuck on there since 1999 (‘90 Corolla)”
7. “Aircraft. Pilot landed with his breaks on.”
8. “No matter how hard you try, you can’t convince old folk that they don’t need an oil change”
9. “Guess somebody has a hard time remembering”
10. “Customer said all 4 of them were uninjured but we can’t say the same about the car”
11. “Towed with the e-brake on”
12. “C/S ‘jangling noise in rear, started happening out of nowhere’. ’21 Ram 1500 whose owner has some great friends”
13. “I expect that 6mo washer fluid guarantee.”
14. “The amount of fasteners you have to remove to change the oil on a 2021 Nissan Sentra”
15. “Imagine buying an 80.000$ E-Tron only to get rims with design stickers on them”
16. “Customer states: Hissing and rattling noise from under the hood.”
17. “Big brain time”
18. “21′ jetta 1.4 with 1300 miles. Probably the 6th clutch I’ve done in the last month. What makes people buy standard cars when they clearly don’t know how to drive stick is beyond me.”
19. “Going for an oil change… shop drops my truck into their bay. Merry Christmas everyone”
20. “Very sneaky…walked under the lift not paying attention…got T-bagged.”
21. “The eyes after a 30 mile trip”
22. “Customer ‘my cars heat isn’t working'”
23. “Debate of the shop: is this a beaver?”
24. “When all else fails”
25. “New Ford Bronco Wildtrak Sasquatch rolled into the showroom with mismatched seats…”
