Each photo & video described.
These videos are meant to be educational but also funny, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
0:00 Intro - Click show more under the video to read more.
0:05 If you plan on flat towing your vehicle, read your owner's manual and see what the manufacturer recommends for flat towing. As mentioned in the video, the technician thinks that the parking brake was left on while it was being flat towed. The rear wheels, tires, coil springs, and subframe were all damaged.
0:19 Engine oil leaking out of jug onto the carpet.
0:31 A can of Lysol moving underneath the passenger seat making the noise.
0:46 Not sure why anybody would install new struts on a vehicle with broken strut towers. They weren't told what other shop apparently did this.
0:58 Always follow the manufacturer tire pressure indicated in your door jamb when you opened the driver's door on a sticker.
1:09 The technician checked it out in the parking lot, removed jewelry and it fixed the customer's concern.
1:23 "As far as we were able to determine, the engine was hydro locked beyond repair. The car was towed in with no start. After numerous crank attempts before and after draining the excess oil, we eventually started smelling smoke and figured the internals were starting to burn up from the seizing. We later found out it was the customer's first car- a shame as this was a low miles 2022 our sales department had just sold a few months prior. A very costly learning the hard way moment for sure."
This is the 3cyl engine in this video.
1:41 No extra info.
1:48 The customer needed a new brake caliper, pads, and rotors once again.
2:00 The shop repaired the oil leak and rerouted the exhaust.
2:11 Engine was replaced by the customer's insurance company.
2:22 No extra info.
2:31 No extra info.
2:40 Very important to have the same size of tires on an AWD or 4WD vehicle.
2:54 "The coolest switch we've seen a customer install."

Hey guys! Hope you're having a great week so far. Just want to say thanks to everybody for submitting clips/photos. - www.justrolledinyt.com
Also, I don't use every clip/photo that is sent in, just incase you don't see yours on an episode. As well we are looking into posting all of the extra clips and other content on the 2nd channel (Just Rolled Out), but currently in the middle of getting an extra hand as mine are full. Appreciate the support!

Hope you keep the same format and lengths on JRO. 👏
That last one was pretty Nintendo like❤
And don’t forget to not film on a potato 🥔
Well i just watched videos of people who make $300k a year too stupid to figure out basic sense with luxury vehicles during a housing crisis
Ya'll better grow that extra hand quick. We're all waiting for more from you and your channel. Seeing comments from most of the same people on every post. Has me thinking you have the most loyal followers on you tube. Everybody (me included) always waiting for the next video.
I never knew there were so many ways to destroy a vehicle until I came across this channel.
People are ingenious, aren't they?
This channel is very educational that way
All these things that you personally had never even imagined, but there are people out there thinking "I know, this should do it!"
Ingenious is the wrong word I feel.
No wonder people get ripped off at those places

I have an uncle who installs anti-theft protections on cars like the last one. They can be pretty much whatever combination the customer decides. If you don't know the specific trick, the car won't start.
Can't it be disabled like cutting some wires?
How? Like, is there a programmable module connected to the ODB and between the starter and ignition switch? Or custom switches like with the vent is open it connects two wires?
My car's kill-switch is the clutch. :)
I don't think that what's going on.. VW New Beetles have STRONG Gremlins. (AND really STUPID wiring problems) I know. I have TWO of them.

Hey now ... Don't give the potato a bad rap , they're smarter than some humans .
Well, you don't want to get grease and oil on your GOOD phone! lol

That potato has better image quality than some bank security cameras.
I'm upset. My very clear video wasn't used but a video taken with a potato was used.
“Customer declined repairs.”
“Customer wants repair covered under warranty.”
This is why I documented EVERYTHING in my career as a tech. I had such a situation pop up before I left the field.
Customer car was a QX56 and came in complaining about a grinding noise in the rear. Upon inspection, the rear drum brakes were worn and just needed new shoes and drums. Customer declined repair saying they had a buddy that could do it cheaper.
A week later same customer returns complaining of the brakes dragging and claiming we screwed their car up. Talked them down from being irate, did another inspection, slave cylinder in the right rear is locked. Internal hardware is destroyed. Again, customer declines, is irate, leaves the shop.
Another week and they come back, severe grinding in the rear, again complaining we did something and they brought the police this time. We show the police the documentation, then inspect the car again. Still no new brakes, and now the RR hub and bearing is gone and we’re pretty sure the axle is heat damaged as well. Another irate exchange which leads me to tell him not to bring the vehicle back and we will refuse service.
Two weeks pass, I come in for my shift one day to see this customers car on the lift, torn apart, and my store’s area manager hovering over my main tech with the customer as they look over the damage. The drum and hub had exploded. Shrapnel penetrated the wheel assembly, cut the brake lines, and damaged the wheel well. Manager hands me a list and order’s me to write up a full work order. In total the repair bill comes up to around $8K. Rear brakes, new rear hub, new axle, wheels and tires for the rear.
Area manager comes to my desk after I finish the write up, enters some code, and zeroes out the entire work order so customer gets the repair for free, which means myself as the service writer and the technician aren’t getting paid for it.
The assigned technician walked out after getting the news. I’m talking full packed up and left, trailering his tool boxes and all. And after he had packed up his stuff and left, I locked up the shop and followed suit.
Yeah, it's fucking stupid the way so many things today are set up to reward idiocy like this. Glad you got out of that shit show.
My sister in law had valve train noise on her Mitsubishi and the dealer told her that it was under warranty so they would repair it, nope she listens to the kid at the gas station and buys premium fuel., about 18 months later one of the lifters seized and it snapped the cam and messed up the whole head. She demanded it be repaired under the now expired warranty, after much yelling the dealer covered half of the repairs which I thought was overly generous
That's insane reading it! So that loudmouth complained enough times to screw you and your collegue over big time. No wonder you both left that shop.
Hope you found a better place now.
Probably should've involved the manager the third time
Idiot area manager should have called you first to get your side of the story.
Dang, nearly a full episode without a "customer declined repairs" then he hits us with the consequences of declining a repair!
And wanted warranty too, lol.
i hope the manufacturer told him to pound sand with his warranty claim@@adzz8012
A beaut, too.
Seems you missed @2:40 - and in a sub 4:00 video, how the fuck did you miss that???
the gall!@@adzz8012
The guy with the 100 PSI tires probably thought they need to inflate them to 100%
Yes, I think you called it.
Or maybe he like to live in the danger zone.
Just like the guy who thinks that "1% oil life" means there is only 1% of the possible quantity of oil in the car.
Pretty amazing because most cars have a sticker with tire size and air pressure on the post on the drivers side.
Remember, PSI stands for Percent of Suggested Inflation.
Bet the RV driver thought all the previous people trying to wave him down were just really friendly people.
Was driving and saw a guy with a flat- I told him and got the finger
@@emgriffiths1861 i was ran off the road by a guy while he was eating his hamburger, i was halfway off the road and he was still 1/2 way into my lane when i honked and pointed at road, he gave me the finger. Smh.
Either that or everyone was happy to see that lousy RV driver wrecking his own stuff for once. Like, I hope he wears it down to the fuel tank!
@@emgriffiths1861Had the same thing happen. Cruised up next to a lady on the highway (70mph) with a very, *very* low tire. Waved at her, pointed at her tire, and yelled 'it's flat!'
She gave me the finger.
Two miles down the road I was sitting at a red light and hear the unmistakable sound of a ruined tire approaching with the occasional thunk, clunk, metallic grind. I glance over as the vehicle drives up in the turn lane... fender is bowed, wheel well liner is sticking out all over, but the tread is still hanging on with sidewalls full of holes. I look up, catch her eye, said 'it's flat', and shrugged. I thought her head was going to explode in fury or hysteria as the light turned green, I gave her a salute and a laugh, and drove on while she waited for her turn (at least she was using her blinker... or maybe her hazards with one bulb out).
Only garage or tire shop I knew of in the area was another three miles...
@@robertmoffett3486 That would be a very enlightening experience. Maybe even the bright spot of his day.
Ah yes the "I haven't bothered to check for anything loose under the seat or in the trunk" customers are my favorite.
Yeah, those and the ones that can't be bothered to search for the source of an odor.
Gas cans, rotting packages of meat, pumpiks, etc.
Those ones bother me the most, I mean how could anyone possibly not realise that stupid jelwery was blocking the shift lever? That's a 5 second diagnostic, if you are taking it easy.
Yep! So I can charge .5 hrs diagnosis. My time isn’t free no matter how short.
Those simple diags are easy jobs 😝
First really cold day of the year, my van develops a new loud clunk when turning. Took me longer than it should have to realize I'd left a pint bottle of water in the back, and it had frozen.
The 99% oil fill was hilarious
You'd be amazed how often we used to see that at the dealership.
@@Fishsticks187 Who the hell gets to adulthood without realizing how friggin' oil works? I mean, really. These people scare me for the future of humanity.
@@Calamity_Jackwell tbh it's not their fault America and Canada basically requires everyone to drive. Driving clearly isn't for everyone. But they got no choice. So that's what happens.
@@austinhernandez2716 I get that. What I find incomprehensible is that asking questions apparently doesn't occur to some people. Instead, they barge on ahead and do ridiculous things without stopping to think, "Hm. I know nothing about this. Perhaps I should ask someone more knowledgeable. Or even just do a simple Google search." Thankfully, such people are rare. But not rare enough.
@@Calamity_Jack Some new cars don't have dipsticks, relying strictly on the "computer" to indicate when oil changes are needed. Dimwit didn't get the difference between "oil life" and "oil capacity". I'm glad I grew up working on cars. I know what I can do myself and what not to even try...
I love the cut off "what the" at the end of the last clip
I’ve been working on cars unprofessionally for nearly 50 years and know my limitations, but I feel like a freaking genius after watching what some people do to their cars. 😮
Goal accomplished👍
And you didn't even need to stay at Holiday Inn Express. 🙂
It's amazing some of these people actually vote. It's amazing they can actually feed themselves.
Same here. I'm initially a trial and error person until I know what I'm doing but I never did such blunders,. Of course vehicles were simpler in the 1950s to '70s.
The first one that dragged the car behind the Motor Home and did not know how that could happen. PLEASE Turn in your drivers license . PLEASE for the safety of the rest of us on the road!!!
do this "for the love of God!!"
Plus get batteries for the hearing aids, and new glasses as well.
I know a motorhome will have a lot of torque but surely you'd notice the resistance of driving with a car with its handbrake on?
Hell forget about the driver's license. Let's just make sure they're neutered so they can't breed!
They don't need to turn in their license; just be required to take some kind of Towing Basics class.
One that comes with a little dry-erase checklist of things to double-check before you start driving that you can hang off of your vent. :)
As a new trucker, who is experiencing humans at their worst on the road ever day.... I can attest to this level of stupidity.
Keep the sunny side up
And the rubber side down
City bus driver here...being on the road all day really gives you the opportunity to see some of the dumbest things you never thought could be real.
I've been driving truck for a year now and I feel like I've seen the worst humanity has to offer! Stay safe out there.
@@690_5As a 6 year trucker, it gets worse. Buckle up.
I've been driving tractor trailer 40 years,NYC metro area.
Every time I think I've seen it all,there is some fool who ups the ante....
I would not have my face in front of those super inflated tires 😳
Ya that could be a bad time 😅
@@JustRolledIn a friend of mine, her dad lost a hand from a tire explosion and someone got killed at a place I worked from an exploding semi tire
@@buttholasaurus99 oh wow, I'm sorry to hear that. Stuff you don't want to screw around with. Especially on semi tires.
More than 40 years ago now, I worked in the muffler shop. We had an old guy in a ratty old pickup truck that came by and picked up the scrap iron. He had built steak sides on the truck probably 5 or 6 ft above the bed, to haul as much iron as possible. He asked one of the other guys if he could add air to his tires, because they were almost flat. He put his tire gauge on beforehand to check the pressure and it was already above 90 PSI. Needless to say, he backed away quickly.
What's a safe way to deal with tires that might blow due to excess pressure?
The vent knob start interlock sits right on that gossamer line between genius and insanity.
my smart forfour had a faulty throttle valve. if i drove it for a while, then turned it off, then turned it on again after 10 minutes, it would stop accelerating past 2000rpm.
the solution was simple and effective: turn off the engine, pop the hood open and reset the oil check rod. done, now the car works fine.
It's a Singularity thing; you wouldn't understand. I mean, you start with the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and then it gets complicated. :)
@@Paronak You bought a Smart?? they pulled the plug on them where i live, no one bought them.
@@Paronak i think everyone has a car that has some sort of gimmick. I once had a car that wouldnt run unless you had the key turned past ON but before START.
It was a manual, so that was a fun exercise.
@@uhtred7860 bought it in 2011. Sold it this June for 700€ bought a nice 2017 Miata RF
I told my mechanic about the channel and he's hooked. He too has had customers over the years who declined to have proper repairs done after they did the work themselves and he shakes his head in disbelief.
I appreciate you sharing the channel with him! Thank you my friend
the first video is why i avoid motorhome drivers. this is about the level of awareness and intellect they have
It's amazing that in the US an old guy that probably shouldn't even be driving a car can buy a 50 foot motorhome and drive it away without any tests or changes to his license.
Last month, I was almost t-bone by a senior driving a motor home. He was pulling out, the wrong way, in to on coming traffic during morning rush hour. He was looking directly at me the entire time and his wife had to hit him several times to make him aware of what he was doing.
I mean if you’re towing a car and it has handbrake on you would need to feel it immediately in acceleration and coasting (there wouldn’t be any). Absolutely zero awareness
@@howzertech2222 he should have let his wife do the driving.
If you look lower in the comments apparently this model has an automatic parking brake. I’m sure it can be disabled, but knowing that, I wouldn’t throw quite as much blame on the RV driver.
I'll remember that vent trick if my car does not start. Thanks for the tip! You guys have lots of good ideas for and by owners.
You're welcome 😁 lol
The VW was venting...VW...Vent Wagon
Hey I believe that is an after market anti-theft add on. Not a real thing for everybody.
@@johncameron2241 because he had somebody wire it that way it wasn't an issue but showing off how anti theft his car is
@@kevlead Yes exactly, normaly there is no electrical connection to the vent, it has to be aftermarket
Some of these people could walk into a wall and be completely confused as to why there head hurts.

That first car; many GM's will automatically turn on their parking brakes either as a self test or if they detect movement after the car was switched off (even in neutral). There's a good possibility the car started out with all 4 wheels spinning then self applied its parking brake... Gotta love the brilliance of Electronic Parking Brakes...
I think the electronic parking brake is one of the best examples of over-complicating something that didn't need to be fixed.
@@snowrocket I'm with you 100% on that.
@@snowrocket As the owner of a 2005 Renault on which I had to repair the EPB unit by opening it up and replacing the motor and cables - yes, they're an unnecessary complication. And worse to use on a manual car without a "footbrake hold" feature.
And it's not like parking brakes are hard either? It's 10x more complicated to turn *off* the parking brake when you're doing maintenance...
Oh man even worse than I thought. FFS, automakers. The brake handle is not an inconvenience...
that vent kill-switch is actually genius
The ones where there's a sound coming from a specific place and the customer isn't smart enough to look in that place and see the obvious source of the sound make me unreasonably angry
Just had something like that today actually. This guy came in complaining about a rattling noise from the back of the vehicle. I took one look at the interior and thought "Did this guy insist on the techs and porters leaving the plastic covers on everything when they were prepping the vehicle for sale? Or were they just sloppy and the customer too lazy to deal with it?" When I looked at the history I found that this person had been to us 2 or 3 other times for this same concern, and it went away with a 'no problem found' each time. I took it for a test drive and as I was driving it down the road I looked into the rearview mirror RIGHT as I heard the sound......and saw that the one headrest that was folded down bouncing slightly and causing the cheap plastic seat cover to rattle.
The oil leak too, hmm, can this jug of oil above the leak be the cause?
Why are getting angry over people's stupidity? I find it hilarious. 😂😁
I don't know, it's been a hard year and I ignore the things that are actually upsetting me and get bent out of shape about shit that doesn't matter lol@@sweeptheleg.
just charge 1.0
That first one…… after you’ve fixed the flat spots on the car can you check my RV because the gas mileage is bad all of a sudden 😂
This channel makes me feel really good about my DIY skills!
I'm happy just to be able to say "even I know better than that!"
Me too
The first one, I almost bet that they put it in neutral, but as soon as those cars move just in neutral, they auto apply the park brake and auto apply park to prevent rolling.
I had to to pause to quit laughing when he said "...filled it up with 99% of the oil capacity." How does a person go through the trouble of finding the oil capacity and where to fill it but not think to look up what that percentage is for?
Even if it really was 99% capacity, I doubt if the average idiot in these videos would even know how to calculate and measure that...."Ughhh, 99% of 4.8 quarts? What's that? Like 10 gallons?"
People whose knowledge of cars is limited to the instrument display, and who have never been taught how to actually check their oil level with the dipstick.
@@annehaight9963 You assume they know how to identify and where to find the dipstick - that's their 1st challenge, and then hope they put the oil in the correct spot, LOL. Ivan from Pine Hollow Diagnostics just uploaded a Porsche 924 repair video where someone filled the washer fluid bottle (over 1 gallon) with coolant! DOH!
@@annehaight9963 bmws don’t come with a dip stick since like 2010 I believe and now other manufacturers are doing the same
@annehaight9963 I agree it is a lack of education on vehicles. The willful ignorance required to know how much and where to add the oil, but not use the owner's manual or Google to identify that number on the instrument cluster is the part I find funny.
These customers are why technicians still have to ask "have you tried turning it off and on?"
"Is your monitor plugged in this time?" Really had to ask that of a customer.
(I work with computers)
"That button on the side - is it glowing?
-- Yeah, you have to turn it on.
Uh, the button turns it on..."
"Hey, I was told to replace the front struts, so I did. Nobody said anything about fixing the towers."
Maybe the backyard-mechanic tested the new struts using the 'Dukes of Hazard' method?
"I find it's easier to install struts if I loosen the towers first."
I live on the edge of London - right at the end of the Metropolitan line and have two cars: A cutesy little Mazda 3 as a daily driver and a 4.2 litre Jag S type as my 'fun' car. Whenever my 'kids' (in reality young 20-somethings) want to borrow either car I ask them, "Have you watched this week's JRI?"
No JRI, no car borrowing!
Lol love it!
@@JustRolledIn They have to know how it all connects up and what could go wrong!
Hah, that's a great policy!
Lucky kids too!
@@nthgth I'm an old father. I'm 64 whereas my kids are 21, 23 and 25. 'Back in the day' - mid-70's onwards - we worked on our own cars and motorbikes so you got a 'feel' for how they worked and how to problem-solve.
I'd like my three to have the same 'feel' but it's a bit of a struggle.
As a simple example, my 21 yo is Miss Independent. Smart girl. Already has a BA and works 3 jobs. Has her own VW Up! (calls it her 'tin can') that she bought and paid for with her own money.
Last Monday she took me for sushi and complained she couldn't lock the door while she was in the car so I had a look and there's no obvious locking mechanism.
After a minute I pressed the door-lever forward and 'hey presto'. It locked the door!
I think my kids - and their pals - are academically ahead of I was at their age but they just don't have the same sense of "try it and see if it works" that we did.
had a job where the customer drove their car to the shop after draining their cvt fluid to get it filled again. amazingly the car still worked after that
The smaller tire is rotating over ten times more for a mile than the 18" one and results speak for themselves. I would love to hear what they say in their warranty claim.
Pretty simple. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I don't think so.
@@steveb6103 Depends on their level of "Karen". If they scream loud and long enough, it might be covered. After all, a few months ago on this channel, someone got their interior replaced under warranty when their dog chewed it up.
I willingly admit that differentials are black magic to me, but shouldn't a diff be able to handle that? I mean, would the diff have exploded also if the customer had the same size of wheels on both sides, but had driven on a circular track (inner wheel constantly rotating faster than the outer)?
@@Spurdospaerde692 if it was an 'open' type diff that allows one wheel to spin and the other to sit still (get stuck easy) its not an issue.
If its a mechanical/clutch type Limited Slip ect or electronic controlled device ensuring power /speed is shared equally by the wheels- all wheel drive in particular for the last one (a certain amount of slip is normal with all of these but no where this much) it will wear out/destroy the weakest part. Gears, clutches, axles or in this case the housing.
@@Spurdospaerde692 No, it wouldn't. (Self-proclaimed differential nerd and expert here) A differential allows POWER to split equally left and right but at a differential (different rate) of SPEED. You drive around a corner and both wheels at a powered end of a car get equal power/torque, but the RPM (Revolutions Per Minute of each wheel) are DIFFERent because the outside wheel travels more distance than the inside wheel. If driven on a circular track as you stated, the inside wheel(s) travel a SHORTER distance than the outside wheels.
The problem with mismatched tires/tire sizes front to rear in an All Wheel Drive (AWD) is that the AWD system THINKS you have wheel slippage (spinning wheels at one end of the car). If the average circumference of both front tires is more than 2-7% different than the average circumference of both rear tires, the AWD thinks the smaller tires are trying to spin and it tries to stop that. When it can't correct that by mechanically forcing the wheels to all turn pretty much at the same speed, AWD parts and differential parts heat up, wear out, and break. This is why it's VERY important to rotate your tires front to rear on most AWDs every 5,000 miles.
I worked at NTB (National Tire and Battery) for a bit. A Mercedes Benz with 4Matic AWD was flat bedded into our shop. Someone had installed new B.F. Goodrich tires in the front, leaving the half worn Continental tires on the rear. The front-to-rear difference in the circumference of the tires caused the AWD to attempt to correct the speed difference for a month. There's a transfer case that splits and adjusts front-to-rear power. The driveshaft going forward from the transfer case has two universal joints. Due to the continuing stress, the universal joint at the front differential broke, rendering the car undrivable. We declined to repair it due to it being 10 years old, the parts and labor expensive, and the possible excessive wear in the rest of the AWD system.
I especially liked the co-technician stating "What the ....?" at the startup procedure at the end.
that vent trick start is a genius theft proof
Nothing is theft proof. The goal is to make it enough of a hassle that they move on to someone else.
" filmed with a potato " 🤦😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do you know why it's so hard to make things fool-proof?
Because fools are so ingenious.
"The universe will take your attempts to make something idiot proof as a personal insult, and will, in turn, make a better idiot."
3:18 "What the.." - couldn't have said it better myself.
Custom anti-theft switch.
Those tyres get MVP this episode. Inflated to 100 psi and none of them let go. Imagine one of those bursting at highway speed… it is going to be a HUGE crash.
I would routinely see high psi in the tires, cuz I checked them on every vehicle. But one time, this guy came in with 140 psi in each tire, cuz he filled them until they "looked right." Found the trunk to be loaded with crap, so the rear end was really low. (He overloaded the car by 280lbs.)
I like that last bit of "What the..." cut off.
I had an old Chevy S10 that the oil filter siezed to the housing and wouldn't come off.
So I just changed the oil, drove that truck for years with the same oil filter!😂
the last one is hilarious, like a passcode to start the vehicle, no key needed 😂
It never ceases to amaze me that people bring their cars in for a knocking noise and it's as simple as a can rolling around under the seat. You'd think some people would know to look first. SMH
I had that happen. I did not bring the car in to the mechanic. I discovered I had left a shotgun shell of birdshot in my door caddy. The crimping came loose and the pellets started shifting every time I applied the brakes....
I have a knocking noise when I go over speed bumps and I've looked over every single suspension component. I actually did check around under the seats and the spare tire area after seeing stuff like this. haha.... but no, still no idea why it's knocking. My last guess is something inside the sliding door attachment hardware is rattling.
@@TheW83haha, well sometimes it really is something needing mechanical attention.
Best we can do as non-mechanics is check for obvious stuff first
Had a friend bring me her car to diagnose a clunking sound when slowing or accelerating. Found a hydroflask under the passenger seat rolling back and forth 😂
Should’ve claimed it for yourself and just said you fixed the (insert random part here). Those things are expensive, call it a ‘repair fee’

That’s just an anti theft feature on that last car 😂
2:11. I may have done something similar, except I spent 12 hours trying to get the filter off. No way I was paying for a tow and the embarrassment of explaining to a mechanic that I couldn't get an oil filter off.
That was the first oil change I did after buying the car and I couldn't reach the sides of the filter. I finally got it off by stabbing needle nose pliers through the bottom and putting a pipe between the handles and twisting.
The first oil change after getting a car is the worst.
Yup. I once had to stab a screwdriver through the oil filter to get it off. The previous person had been extremely enthusiastic installing it.
That's around the time I started to doubt that quickie lube places were really world experts.
@@j_taylorshoot, I have to do that for almost all my oil changes.
I totally get that. Hardest I've had, I didn't quite have to stab it, but I had to deform it to create handles to turn it
We had an early 90s Nissan Patrol in workshop that no one could figure out how to start. Called customer and they explained that you need to touch one particular trim screw while holding key for it to start.
"filmed with a potato" My new favorite line!!!!
Well we tend to complain but I'm actually glad we have mandatory safety inspections every two years in my country.
Same. It's annual in my state.
The part that's stupid is that it also involves things that are unrelated to safety (but are _worded_ to sound like they're essential to it). Chiefly, outlawing aftermarket exhausts that are really not much louder than some stock exhausts.
"If this wasn't filmed on a potato" that got me to laugh really good.
The scariest part of this video is that we drive on the same road as these people 💀
not only that, but these same people vote, and breed!
“Just Rolled In”…making me feel smarter for over ten months. 😂
That last one....he probably has missiles behind the headlights that activate if you turn the lights on and off 3 times...
2:55 Yeah, my VW was similar to that, but it was more because of the electrical nightmare it was.
All creative DIY repairs are being performed perfectly for this channels content. 👍👍
For the Motorhome dragging car with brakes on, the driver should drive a compact car, stay in motels and eat in restaurants when traveling.
Either that, or move into an assisted living facility.
The ones that tow a car behind an RV and leave it in first gear are even dumber.
@@patrickporter6536there was one on a previous episode, a jeep!!
ok so here is my thought. a JRI Darwin award for the stupidest vehicle moves every 3 months as voted by viewers. some of these are just unbelievable as always!
That would be awesome and funny! Id be down for that 😅
Also had a cool idea on paying for somebody's car repairs and then documenting everything wrong and showing before and after. Lots of ideas but no time unfortunately.
The CARwin Award?
Im willing to bet my 98 k1500 could be on this list it needs so much work and i refuse to fix any of it.
to earn a darwin award one must **DIE**. Or at least get your dick ripped off.
Darwin awards are only awarded to people who killed themselves by accident
Just think how many of these idiots are right next to us when driving...
😂😂😂to much
*too @@vojvoda9060
It's nice because they often have Trump/MAGA/Thin blue line stickers to warn others.
Customer: It took me forever to get the tires up to 100%, but now it's all over the road.
At higher pressure the car should be easier to control, until the tires burst anyway
Flat towing 101: what not to do….. 🤦♀️ BTW the light switch one? I’d probably do that lol. Just wouldn’t go to the shop for it. 🤷♀️
I used to have a trick switch for turning on the amplifier on my car stereo. I let a friend borrow my car, but I forgot to tell him about the trick. He told me he went to light up a cigarette using my car's cigarette lighter, but when he pushed it in, it was my trick switch - the amplifier turned on and almost blasted his eardrums out.... lol
I bet that's not all that was "blasted out" It probably scared the ssss out of him!
that vent thing is actually pretty clever if they did that on purpose.
Every episode I think, ‘Hey, people can’t get more stupid than this!’ Then, with the next episode you prove me wrong! 😂😂😂
1:25 Remember when people used to use the dipstick to check the oil level?? 😆
@uhtred7860, nowadays the dipstick is behind the steering wheel 😉 !
@@mrc1539 🤣🤣
Now the dipstick is cleverer than the person driving the car! 😂
isn't oil life about the oil being too old, not there being too little oil?
@@isthatrubble Yeah, but the guy added 10 quarts (almost 10 litres) of oil.
Well this video confirms my worst fears, we are truly surrounded by a rogues gallery of "dumbassery"! 😵😳😁
I agree.
But it's not only drivers who seem to be devolving, instead of evolving.
Just watched an article in the news where divers, police and fire crews were looking on a lake for a guy who was Stand up padeling/windsurfing.
He wasn't good at it so he fell into the water, but he could not swim either, so he was missing/presumed deceased.
How dumb do you have to be to go out onto open water if you can not swim.
Darwin at it's finest.
@ 2:52 " pretty genius way on starting a car " Dude more like the best anti-theft device I've seen since Biff Tannen's car in Back to the Future 2 🤣
Lmao I always loved that.
Thought it was weird that the mechanic couldn't start the car and never figured out why though. Wouldn't diagnosing a no-start be pretty basic on a 1946 car?
Crazy how much people don't know about they vehicles they drive in
It wasn't always that way
If they only read the owner's manual!! And we wonder why the are so thick nowadays...
@@michaeldorosz6446 They are only thick because of all the safety BS in them, actual info barely makes up an eighth of the manual
@@michaeldorosz6446 The owners manual in my car didn't even tell me the oil capacity...
That Equinox has an electronic parking brake system, if the ecm thinks the vehicle is rolling away, it will apply the brake for safety. The owner likey didn't get it set up properly for flat towing
"Can anyone smell engine oil in this car??"
"Yes!!....and theres clean engine oil dripping out from the centre of the vehicle onto the ground"
"Instead of taking a look myself, I will take it into the shop tomorrow and pay for them to look in the back"
Man, these people, WTF? 🤷♀🤣🤣🤣
The phrase "another shop but I can't tell you where" does a hell of a lot of heavy lifting in this channel.
Just admit you tried it yourself and failed.
I feel bad for the oil filter can guy. He realized he got in over his head after a simple job went sideways, tried to bandaid it to get it to a shop, but got screwed.
Got to clean out my car...... making noise right front............ it's probably something under my front pass seat, just like in the video. LOve these!!!
Your channel is always entertaining. Those vehicle owners are as bright as a burned out light bulb😂. Keep’m coming
Thanks for watching the videos!
Dummer then a Box of Rocks! 🤣
The last car will most likely never be stolen.😂
Imagine if it was a manual. Would definitely never happen lol
Fr bro mans had to do a cheat code to start it
Don't worry it's a 2000 Volkswagen New Beetle. The car is a deterrent on its own.
@@CaptainFalcon92 actual facts
that "what the FU-" at the end killed me
SO many folks here seem to be REALLY close to winning the Darwin Award!! :-)
oh my gosh I made a comment just like this before I read this comment! must be something to it!
The more the merrier... :-)
What's worse, they are willing to share that award with other hapless people on the road.
That's the really scary part! @@origamichik3n
I can relate to the last one. Back in the early 80's while visiting a friend's brother he let use use his old Datsun. Told us it was temperamental and give us instructions on how to start it. We had to do about 10 different things (all unrelated to start it). It was interesting
I have a Vancouver anti theft device in my car, it is a manual 5 speed. And its a Diesel that needs pre-glowing.🤣
My brother had a 79 Alfa and it had this quirk were once in while it wouldn't start and all you had to do was move the steering wheel lightly back and forth and it would start, i assume it was a connection in the ignition switch that would move slightly out of wack and by turning the wheel left or right it would place it exactly where it needed to be.
I borrowed it once to go out on a date with this gorgeous girl i had been trying to go out with for sometime so i wanted everything to be perfect,when we got out of the movie the damn thing started doing that and i was moving the wheel with my knees ever so slightly and she was like "what are you doing? i was like "oh nothing" and then it roared to life, phew! ha ha ha
0:19 At least this spot will not rust! 🤭😂
Another awesome video from Just Rolled In. These videos are perfect examples why customers who have little to no knowledge of auto repair should leave repairs to the real mechanics.
Thanks for sharing these spectacular videos with all of us. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've worked in car rental for 15 years, and you'd be surprised how many people are absolutely clueless about tire pressure and how to correctly inflate tires.
Wish I could say I'd be surprised 😮...but I'm not, just disappointed 😔.
I'm a retired locksmith, Rental cars and trucks accounted for many lockouts and lost keys. It wasn't always customers, either.
@@robertmoffett3486 You're right that it's often us dumbass employees who locks keys in cars. It's because of how we line them up for cleaning; they have to be moved forward every few minutes. The most convenient method is to keep the key with the vehicle, and you're supposed to leave the driver window open to prevent lockout. But unfortunately there are a lot of idiots working in car rental.
respect for the mechanic still using flip up phones with 5MP cameras
Mechanic pulled out his Jitterbug flip phone to record the vid
He's probably more money in the bank than any of his friends. Strangers think he's poor, but nah, he's gonna get his 70 bucks worth outta that thing, if it takes him ten years, that's all
5 MP is more than twice the number of pixels needed for 1080p full HD video.
Not filming vertically would be a good start, though.
That flip phone is his work phone because it can survive the abuse of a working man's work environment.
Once it dies he's only out $80.
that anti-theft vw, nice
Oh, I love this channel and the vids. And god bless all those who send them in. Makes me glad I left the trade in the '80's. Bloody brilliant.
You never fail to deliver, keep em coming
That last one was great. I'm pretty certain it's theft proof. Unless they come with a tow truck
1:10 Savage
What a genius kill switch on that VW too.
1:28 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
After consumed many bad/sad news lately, this guy made me had a genuine good laugh. Thanks man!
They won't know if they don't know what to look for on their dashboard or rearview cameras. Those turbodiesels hunker down and their boost goes up a few percentage points, and the RPM's pick up a but, but nothing too obvious. I've seen this more than a few times on the highways and turnpikes in the midwest.
That VW hack is genius! Nobody stealin that ride
Right up until someone drags it onto a flatbed.
@@JCWren why steal a car that ,by normal observation, you think doesn’t start?
I wouldn't want a VW for free.
@@buttholasaurus99 Because a lot of cars are stolen using a rollback. Takes no time to winch it up or hook it and take off. Don't have to worry about keys, locks, alarm systems, or anything else.
Nobody would want to
That guy's brain seized long before taping the filter !!
for the first video, for those who don't know, the newer equinox models have an electronic parking brake in the rear that will automatically activate if it detects the car rolling when it shouldn't be.
:O When cars are too smart for their own good.
First clip may have won the prize for the most insane mistake with a car. Your channel is the best!
Jeez, makes me feel good…
Thank you for the compilation
🤷🏼
Customer just decided to take their car for a drag.
Another old time anti-theft trick was to wire the cigarette lighter in series with the starter wiring.
Your videos never cease to amaze me.
.... okay, that last one actually seems like a really good anti theft measure.
When it comes to keeping oil and other fluid containers inside the vehicle, I always teach customers to give the bottle a squeeze before tightening the cap. That way, it won't leak as easily if knocked over.
Now the oil life being shown in percentage would sound silly, but I've stopped quite a few customers from overfilling their engines because they thought the same thing. That's the difference in thinking between engineers and ordinary customers lol.
That's a great point! What seems obvious to us isn't at all obvious to people without our skills and experience. It's surprisingly difficult as a designer to create an interface that makes sense to an outsider. You're just so familiar with the jargon and details that it's difficult to see it from the eyes of someone without that knowledge.
It doesn't help that a lot of these systems are designed to be as "simple" as possible, to the point that they hide necessary details, making identifying and solving the actual issue needlessly obfuscated and confusing. Things like turning on the service light and saying the car needs service when it's simply been a fixed number of miles since someone last reset the counter. Or giving a service light with fault codes when it knows damn well you forgot your gas cap.
Combined with the lack of any kind of basic service manual that's available to the general public (third-party Hayes manuals don't count), it's no wonder so many people have no idea how to do basic maintenance. It seems like there's an concerted effort to stop people from fixing things themselves and instead bring it into the shop for service - whether it needs it or not!
@@reverse_engineered well, for the last ten or fifteen years, the service department is what has the best margins for the dealer. Car sales bring in money, but the margins are mostly dogshit when tEh inTeRwebz made it harder to put pie in the sky numbers on the sticker for the whales to bite.
As for EVAP faults caused by loose gas caps, quite a few vehicles do show a message on the dash to check the gas cap. But adding isolation valves to test individual sections e.g. the fill neck will add a huge layer of complexity to an already complex system.
@@reverse_engineeredThat last point applies across all products, because there legitimately is an (although not organized, simply a result of companies being incentivised to screw over the consumer as much as possible) effort to make things less serviceable, to make it so you have to either pay way more than you should to repair the product, or just replace it entirely.
The oil life % doesn't mean low oil, this is a case of car owners not reading their manuals or refer to the manual for something like oil life.
@@VintageCars999 that's what I meant. I stopped a few customers when they bought oil after seeing 50% oil life on the screen. They were thinking that their engine is down to half of the oil it's supposed to have inside rather than the computer flashing a friendly heads up that you're at a halfway point between oil changes.
viendo tus videos esta claro que hay gente a la que no deberia dejarles acercarse a ninguna maquina¡¡
