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
0:05 Mechanic said: "Thankfully just 2 oil changes with an engine purge and she rolled out that night." This is from the same mechanic who submitted the first clip in this video - âą Customer States Low Co...
0:30 Whoever installed the caliper never connected the brake hose to the line. That's scary to see.
0:40 Sway bar links weren't properly installed, bolts for shock were installed upright and upside down (looks unprofessional), and the cam bolts for the lower control arms were missing the washers.
1:00 They also lost a bolt for one of the battery terminals.
1:16 Customer ended up driving over a pretty big plastic bag. Watch out for those on the road!
1:29 The mechanic said it smelled awful!
1:34 Just saying what the customer told the mechanic. I'm going to guess that a transmission possibly fell out of the box of a truck. Scary!
1:40 Surprisingly still had air in the tire when it came in.
1:49 Customers' complaint was that they add a shimmy while driving.
1:54 The mechanic said the engine was blown up, transmission, and also the supercharger! Which came to a $42,000 bill.
2:09 Update to this clip - âą Customer States Just C...
2:19 This has to do with the electric-powered steering assist mechanism on the column. There is an electric motor in the column that provides torque to help steer. Without it, you would need both hands to turn the wheel. These assist mechs used to be hydraulic, now they're electric.
There is a sensor that reads the torque applied to the steering wheel and commands the motor to provide assist. In this case, it's not reading properly, so the torque command is all over the place, and the motor tries to follow. Like rapidly turning it on at max torque and back off again, many times per second. This could be as easy as a software fix or as complicated as a full column replacement.
2:31 The mechanic didn't mention was caused this issue. But let us know what you think it might be.
2:45 No more info regarding this photo.
3:00 Extra info from the person who filmed the clip - "Limited edition 2020 Hellcat Charger with less than 1,000kilometers on the odometer dynoed at my company's annual car show in august of 2020. The transmission failed because the operator didn't dyno the car properly. He did eventually get a warranty on the transmission and got his car back in new condition."
3:36 Outro. Thanks for watching! - Auta a dopravnĂ prostĆedky
More info for each clip & photo in the description. Have a great weekend!
The ones where the customer describes the sound and the sound made matches exactly are my favorite!
Lol me too!!
same. especially when their description confuses you but then you understand when you hear it
I would say 90% of the people here are gonna have no idea what I'm talking about but the brothers on Car Talk would always get callers to describe the sound and have them try to make the sound with their mouths over the phone so the brothers could help diagnose the issue. It was the best part of Car Talk. Click and Clack we're the hosts and their Russian valets Pikup and Drupof. Lawyers Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe.
@@rustyshakleford5230 I think I've heard of them đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Lemme guess... the Audi that sounded like a dolphin?
It never ceases to amaze me that people who have no idea mess with their cars
At least the guy who put water in the engine figured it out and got it towed before he destroyed the engine đđ
That is if what he said was TRUE.
If he put that much water into an engine. I don't think they knew to not try driving it afterward.
I like to do my own mechanic work and I often look up diagrams and How-To's but there's a line of common sense I have where if something looks overly complex (even if it isnt to a pro I'm still a novice at best) or has anything to do with electrical, I'll shell out the bucks to have someone take care of it for me.
I just hope I don't go to some of these "other shops"
@@Khontis I'm learning more about working on my vehicle and still often just call the shop. Finding a shop that isn't just in it for the money is getting harder. Luckily a guy I went to high school with works at mine and he's honest. Flat out told me when they couldn't' do something and why it was that way. Or if I needed to order the part off ebay/amazon because my vehicle is over 15 years old and the manufacturer isn't making those parts any more.
A frind of mine broke 3-4 cars.... He doesn't change the oil and when the destilled water with refrigerant runs out because something is wroken and leaks.... he just adds normal tap water. He even has right now 2 screws for each wheel (when it needs 4 per wheel)
I like to say to him: "you are the type of stupid who mix gasoline and water to make it last more"
Most of these DIY repairs on these videos are exactly what I would expect from a 5 year old. Now that I think about it, I guess that makes sense, since a lot of people on the roads drive like a 5 year old too...
A 5 year old high on caffeine and sugar, and playing with a puppy, while driving.
That's actually quite unfair to many 5yr-olds!
Dont forget about playing on the phone while driving
@@rusuran11 Drive as though everyone else is deaf, dumb, blind, and suicidal.
@@markh.6687 oh they love crossing into the oncoming lane with ther mouth open
Don't drink and tinker. I once did a trans fluid and filter on my 08 Ranger, my favorite vehicle I've ever owned. I added bottle after bottle, and the trans fluid never registered. Engine did have a new but very faint sound to it. "Where the hell is all this fluid going?" I kept thinking. Then it hit me hard. Drained it out of the engine and started over. No apparent harm done.
Thanks JRI, by watching your channel I learned not to put water in my engine! Instead, I put it in the tires so I'll have a softer ride!
đđ
Oh boy đ
đ€Šââïžđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Except in winter. Need to completely fill it up with water for a smooth ride.

After watching many of your videos, I am very thankful my father taught me the correct way to treat a vehicle.
"Sounds like a dolphin" surprisingly accurate! I remember a customer lady dropping off with a complaint that it sounds like a lamb bleating under the car. She clarified, BLEATING, not BLEEDing. The fuel pre-pump in the tank was bad, making the main electric pump under the driver seat cavitate and go mmeeEEEH-EH-Eh-eh-eh! over and over.
It amazes me how many customers hire me at $144 an hour to diagnose a noise but when you ask what it sounds like, when it happens, and what part of the car it comes from, they answer like a 5yo afraid of getting scolded. "Idoh-knooooowwwww?" over and over to every question. Cars are incredibly complicated machines, that can make a SYMPHONY of noises while going down the road. When you're getting ready to pay someone to fix a sound that's bothering you but you can't describe the sound, expect to pay the mechanic for fixing a different noise that HE heard. Funny how at that stage of the process, many people will suddenly be able and willing to make the EXACT noise and clearly state the area of the car it comes from and the conditions when it occurs!
i would pay to hear that
Buddy there at the end needs to get ahold of Precision Transmission! Lol. Love their channel.
I agree , excellent shop and crew
I don't think even Richard could put that Charger back together. At least the owner got it replaced under warranty.
I love the "update to an earlier video" .. Makes long time viewers seem more worth while.
up this!
I enjoy it too but He canât control getting updates
@@allisonavery7273 .......... was I implying he control getting updates?
"I've fitted your new brakes, Pa" Turns out that Pa is old and very rich, whilst his son knows he's the sole beneficiary of the will!!!
That first one, father of a friend of mine noticed a small puddle of water under his car (aircon drain, it was a hot humid day) and responded by pouring water into the oil filler cap until it was full. He then let it sit overnight, started it in the morning and ventilated the block.
He called me and asked "can you just get me going, I've got a 9:30 tee time!" Nope!
Well, that engine is toast for sure. Wonder what he said when he found out he'd need a new engine and how much that would probably cost.
Cannot cure stupid
@@mikefoehr235 Stupidity should be painful. Preferably physically, but monetarily will do in this case.
people are made of stupid
@@mikefoehr235
Through many years of meticulous research and several phases of testing on humans (when possible), I have come to the conclusion that the only possible cure for the mental disease of _stupid_ is to bitchslap the offender repeatedly, vigorously and with enthusiasm.
NOTE: To achieve optimum results when bitchslapping the offender, one must make sure that each bitchslap is sufficiently hard enough to spin the offender's head around 360°.
DISCLAIMER: It may not actually work but it would be fun to try. đ€Łđ€Ł
I hope the mechanic that "diagnosed" the HUD readout an entire hour of labor.
A lot of shops charge a minimum 1 hour labor. Probably because of stuff like this.
A shop near me has signs posted around it stating that opening the hood starts a minimum 30 minute labor charge. They usually wave it, but I think it's there to keep people from trying to get a free diagnosis.
@@christopherconard2831 thatâs weird. someone should tell the people in your area that auto part stores like autozone will let you use a code reader for free, you just have to interpret it and fix the problem yourself (all you have to do to interpret it is google the code + your vehicle year/make/model)
This new tech in cars is wasted on many people.
@@misseselise3864 the people looking for a free diagnosis, are typically not smart enough to fix their vehicle in the first place...
My daughter just dropped a wrench in the engine compartment and frantically called asking if this had ever happened to anybody before...đ
I HATE when that happens!!
Of course you said no, right?
it's where all 10mm sockets end up
Reminds me once I dropped a Torx wrench in just the perfect place. It landed inside a shield that was blocked by all sides, other than some small vents that of course the wrench didn't fit through, much less my hand to get it.
When I was in high school I was working on my car and I dropped a wrench and somehow it landed so one end was on the positive battery terminal and the other end landed on the negative terminal. Almost instantly the wrench glowed red and then melted apart in the middle while I frantically knocked the pieces off the battery because I was afraid it would explode! đČ
A smart person learns from their own mistakes. However, a smarter person learns from someone else's mistakes. Keep posting those videos and thank you.
All average people learn from their own mistakes, smart people learn from mistakes of others.
That's also why there are billions of average people, but only about millions of of smart people at best.
@@Morpheus-pt3wq Some people learn by being told.
Some people learn by watching others.
The rest just have to piss on the electric fence for themselves...
At least the customer noticed their mistake. I was changing my oil one night using a shop light, and accidentally drained my transfer case instead of the oil. Figured it out when it wouldnât go into drive. Everyone makes mistakes, just learn from and never repeat them.
I forgot to install the new filter after an oil change once. I discovered the problem when the oil warning light went off, then back on. No damage because I shut down quickly, but a 20-30 minute oil change became a 3 hour cleanup.
Now I double check my work instead of just assuming I did it.
I got distracted the other day and dumped oil into the coolant reservoir that I was also filling. I caught it as I started to pour so I just had to drain the tank and flush it out. Felt like an idiot still lol
Much better idea, is to learn to never make them in the first place. Confucius says "Many people say you learn from mistake, but Confucius say, man who has not made mistake has already learnt" Eg I dont know how to use a gun, but I was fiddling around and I accidently shot and killed Mom. Wont be doing that again (pun intended) coz I learnt from my mistake.
Almost drained my ATF today while rushing through an oil change. Felt mega dumb
I once tried to back a car off some ramps, forgetting about the jack stands that I'd also put under it as a backup. Ever since then I hang the ignition key off the release lever for one of the stands, so I can't forget.
A Restaurant owner brings his Porsche in with a pile of new parts..."please install."
I stopped at a butcher shop before going to his restaurant the next day.
He understands now.
terrible analogy, not even close to the same thing, nobody wants to pay their crazy price for a part I can get way cheaper that is the same thing
@@Lazerchicken69 My friend owns his repair shop and loves it when customers bring their own parts. Sure, I'll install it. But when it fails, no warranty on the installation.
@@Lazerchicken69 It's the perfect analogy, and @E-Curb's comment describes why. Also, those "cheaper parts that are the exact same thing" is, in most cases NOT the exact same thing.
In the industrial areas, large tarps and plastic sheeting floating across the highway is all too common. I used to see more than one vehicle pulled to the side of the road, the driver furiously carving at the sheet wrapped up around the drive shaft. This is the result of sloppy contractors not securing their equipment or coverings.
not securing your load should be a capital offense
@@lordraydens it's a ticketable offense in the county. But with little or no officers in the road, who's to care?
That's foreign labor doing stuff like that nowadays!!
This is why race cars have transmission blast shields. That stuff can go through the floor.
The shields aren't for transmissions, they are to contain an exploding clutch.
@@e-curb Seen some flywheel explosion aftermath pictures, and it sure would require at the very least a change of underwear after it happens, if you don't need an ambulance.
@@e-curb No, they have wrap-around blankets for automatics too. I watched a guy leaving a car show (many years ago). He did a 6000 rpm neutral drop and exploded his trans into a zillion pieces. Steel, aluminum and ATF were Everywhere! (A blanket wouldn't have prevented the explosion, just contain the shrapnel)
Oooh! That's one of those new "floating subframes" I've been hearing about. Helps absorb extra engine vibration!
đ€Ł
Designed around a hoverboard!
Oooo⊠I winced at that tarp melted onto the exhaust. I had that happen to my car with a garbage bag. The smell was awful and my mechanic spent over an hour scraping that damn thing off the pipe, it basically sheathed the exhaust like the insulation on an electrical wire, but harder.
After scraping a plastic grocery bag off my exhaust that wouldn't be an option with a tarp.
I used to work in a truck garage. Had a Kenworth truck towed in with wiring and air lines MANGLED with steel wire. When asked what happened, he said " all I did was run over a mattress, I don't know where the steel eire came from"
3:01 It hurts to see such a beautiful car get exploded. What a sound too! I hope the warranty covered the repairs
1:49 It _may_ have had a shimmy when it left the factory, but I suspect that shimmy rusted and fell off a long time ago.
eco mode: lesser weight, lesser fuel consumption :D
If your car sounds like a dolphin, just call it âFlipperâ. đŹ
I'm not sure how many people watching this are old enough to understand your joke . I'm an old fart so I got it .
@@eaglerider1826 i am surely old enough and still not that much old to call myself an "old fart".
But i'm heading there, give me a few more years...
So long, and thanks for all the fish
I started calling my sister's old car Scarface after a semi's bumper fell off and smacked the hood, leaving a nice 'ol scratch and dent there.
Yep, I would definitely call that a Dolphin sound.. One high on Meth... but definitely a Dolphin
That was a very angry dolphin.
I always sit in amazement after watching one of your videos! Lesson learned not to let a family member work on my brakes
It may not be an issue, if the family member has some practice, is honest and doesn't just want to scam you.
SLPT: When youâre tired of family always stopping by unannounced, simply take away the stopping part đ
Another lesson is, that never let "another shop" to work on your car.đ
HHAHA... Dolphins and Demons!! ... plus that WideBody Hellcat!!
Great video thanks for sharing. đđ€Łđ It always gets me how fixes need to be done after the vehicle has been to âanother shopâ. Itâs great to see there are still honest people out there who can admit to their lack of mechanical skills. Broke my heart watching that Mopar blowing its tranny.
In this case he may not be lying. No general mechanic around where I live will do alignments - only wheel and tire places have the equipment for it. So you can get, say, tie rod ends or control arms or axels or anything else done at your normal shop, but then have to take it to someplace like National Tire & Battery or Appalachian Tire to get the alignment done.
1:40 Mechanicien: How many time did you hit the curb?
Customer: Yes.
3:00 THAT'S A lot of Damage.
CLeary the kid been _TOKYO DRIFTING_
Nothing a few pints of JB weld can't fix.
Curb? You mean guide rails?
When I was younger I installed a new battery on my 78 Bonneville. Of course it was one of those silly side post batteries. While changing the battery I dropped the metal part of the terminal and couldn't find it, so I figured it must have hit the ground (I was working in the grass). I found a new terminal and put it back in and thought nothing of it. Driving a few miles down the road I heard a loud thudding noise and then all the sudden the engine started knocking. All of the oil had drained out of the engine somehow... Upon further inspection, the metal terminal had dropped into the fan shroud and gotten fired into the oil filter on my car, causing a huge oil leak. The car was never the same afterwards. Strange things can and will always happen!
Boy, I betcha Bob Dole wouldn't have liked that
When I was young I had stopped by a friend of the family full service gas station. For young people full service was someone from the gas station would pump your gas check your oil sometimes even inspect your wiper blades.
The owner and I was sitting inside just talking when his new employee came in and asked him where do we keep extra motor oil? He asked her why that the stand at the pumps have oil on them. She said I know it wasn't enough. So he gave her a case of oil and she went back to the car. A few seconds later he really thought something wasn't right so he got up to check out what was coming on. She undid the oil cap and was attempting to put enough oil into the engine to where it came up to the oil cap.
Lucky enough he caught this mistake the customer was mad at first until he realized that now he was getting a free oil change. So we all push the car into the shop and pulled the drain plug. It filled up one of his oil catch pans and in the end realize that she had put 20 quarts of oil into the engine.
After refilling it to its proper level and change the oil filter the car smoked for a while and cleared up.
Damn,I wonder which family member did those brakes đ
An in-law with a vendetta? đ
The one that's in the will lmao.
The Ex?
The one that recently took out a life insurance-policy on their spouse!
Wonder if the last car's owner has to pay an extra clean-up fee for getting debris & fluids all over the dyno.
I hope that they werenât able to warranty the repairs. They were being stupid
Crossed my mind but I thought to myself if I was involved with the location/venue where it was being dynod (looks like some kind of show or meet) as long as I was getting paid for being there I would be like meh whatever. Blow it off with a pressure washer and compressed air and call it a day lol. The trans blowing gave the people there a show and that totally makes up for it, to me.
@@dirtfarmer7472 where did they went wrong while decelerating?
I'd probably be more afraid of the oil starting to burn taking the dyno with it.
He probably blames the dyno for ruining his transmission.
Used to deliver newspapers and we parked over a trash bag that we had used to throw away car garbage the day before. It melted to our exhaust. Just absolutely caked it up. There was no removing it besides what would rip off, it reeked for about two weeks lol and every time we pulled up to the distro center they were like jeez that's the worst thing I've ever smelled in my life lmao
I did that once too, except it was a bag lying in the middle of the road. Ran over it and it got hung up on one of the exhaust bolts and melted to the muffler.
Wire brush if room wire wheel on drill
"Parts installed at another shop." = "Customer install himself."
Lol definitely!
I hope the guy who added water to his engine didnt cause any damage, he might have got lucky and realized he put it in the wrong hole.
They flushed the engine twice and no damage!
I've put it in the wrong hole before. She didn't like it .đ€Ł
That's what she said...
Antifreeze does an amazing job of cleaning bearing surfaces.
Ask anyone with a GM 3.8 Series II that peed itself internally.
@@freedomrings1420 the eye or the ear?
Love the sounds from the German cars. Those premium brands give you free extras. Pouring antifreeze in the engine should help prevent freezing đ„¶ in cold weather.
Mercedes isn't a premium brand in Germany. They use them like a Chevrolet. Taxi cabs, normal transportation. I've owned a mercedes or two and their repair record was just like a chevrolet or ford. Not as good as my Cadillac.
Some JB Weld and that trans will be good as new
Don't you love it when your shop and next thing you know everybody's going around one vehicle . I mean everyone in the whole garage is all around one vehicle you know something really bad just happened or somebody just brought something in that was impossible and how they did it they can't figure out. Usually happens when somebody drives a vehicle in and the block has a hole right in it the oil pan it's completely gone or the transmission pan is completely gone and they say oh I just hit a bump or there is a little pop they started to run funny
I can't wait to see you with a million subscribers.
Love the cringe that mechanics have to deal with, just glad it's not me having to deal with it!
2:19 fun fact, that "dolphin" noise we all learned about as kids isn't actually a dolphin. It's a bird (i don't remember the name though). If you don't believe me, check out the casual geographic youtube channel.

Driver: "Let's get on the dyno and see what kind of numbers we can generate."
Transmission: I'm thinkin'.....no, *POOF*
The person in the charger sounded like they didn't know what they were doing.
I'm sure that dyno run generated a very big number, unfortunately it wasn't horsepower.
looks like the tail houseing snapped from the back of the trans letting the fluid out.. Way to far back to be a hole in the tranny pan.. And thats just a alluminum houseing, Not bad to replace..As long as the spline gear from the trans wasnt rounded it should be easy to fix..
@@soulwarrior7721 Easy to fix? LOL. Transmission and easy usually don't go in the same sentence. I bet that'll be expensive.
@@robertthomas5906 Expensive? Yes. Easy? also yes, since they'll need to replace the whole thing anyways; no need to save anything from the old one.

Insane to be that close to dyno, especially your kids. I've seen basically ordinance shrapnel explode out of cars on a dyno.
Had to laugh at the blue Charger on the mobile dyno.

The Audi one made me chuckle.. lol
1:09 hey, don't judge, I had to do the same thing. The bolt broke due to rust and also probably because it was cold outside and I had to duct tape the battery for a month or two until I went to the garage. Duck tape is pretty amazing.

Reminds me, I was yesterday just standing beside my town's square and looking at the road with passing cars and all of a sudden a BMW comes around and you could clearly hear something of a big part under the car (not the pipe) was very loose as it sounded like there was something hitting the car and the driver seemed to care less.
I mean wow, I just thought how can you just ignore that something so big seems to be very loose and could potentailly end up ruin the car.
And just after him came an Audi where a terrible screeh came from the wheels. Man, some people really just seem to not take care about there cars.
Especally since BWM & Audi's are very known to be very pricey in repairments.

Lmao Iâve seen 3 rams lose driveshafts and I did once see transmission laying in the middle of a lane on the interstate đ€Ł
A lot of these mechanics need to add an incompetent customer fee. (When they have to un F up stuff before they can fix it)
It depends. If it was a real simple/fast fix, it's better to go easy on them so they'll come back when they have a real problem.
It's called, "I charge for stupidity".
1:54 it looked like a new vehicle. Still had the sticker on the exhaust. ????

2:30, what appears to be an older R129 Mercedes-Benz (SL series).
Check the wiring harness condition, especially in the engine compartment. On some Mercedes-Benz vehicles from the early-mid 1990s, the biodegradable wiring insulation may disintegrate over time, causing short circuits.
When I worked at Acura we sold a new mdx SUV and it came back the same day because it smelled like burning plastic.
A thick shopping bag melted all over the rear muffler. Plastic sucks to scrape off.
That sucks for the customer! Terrible smell.
Did the customer decide to return it because of this or did you fix and give it back
@@jayasmrmore3687 we cleaned it. Scraped it off with a razor, and told them to take the highway for a bit to finish the remaining stink off.
They thought the car was broken at first... They weren't mad.
@@volvo09 oh okay.
@@volvo09 I get it. If you have a car for one day and it starts making unexpected noises or producing unexpected smells, you want to get it looked at.

Viewer said - My 1970 Phoenix van. One of 4 known to exist. We brought this one back to life after sitting for over 25 years.
Sounds like a dolphin. Nailed it.
Love the dolphin.
I had a 97 mustang my senior year and had a piece of plastic melt to my exhaust. Looked like a painter's tarp.I didn't even know about it until someone mentioned it to me while I was in line to get a drink. Took a couple weeks before I couldn't smell burning plastic
The optimist says one day it wonts burn any longer.
that last one looks like neutral drop million subscriber special! đ

"Transmission has left the chat"
That Hellcat went poo-poo in it's trousers lol.
I would love to know if these 'customers' authorise the repair for their f**k-ups? Love your videos, can't stop howling with laughter (I am a retired mechanic) đđŹđ§
Thanks for being here!
Fun Fact: That Audi was the âFlipperâ model. A special order only, exclusive to those who watched 1960âs television programs.
That first 1 guy made a mistake and did the right thing having it towed in
Lol. Car sounds like a dolphin...đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Im a fan of the new style chargers and hell cats and watching that one blow its transmission was scary. Wonder if it was under warranty and if so how in the world they explained it away to the dealership.
Pretty sure that one had to do with the dyno operator. His fault.
