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 The engine will have to be replaced once again. They think the engine was at an air-fuel ratio of 19-20 which is very lean!
0:21 When you buy new windshield wipers, these protective covers are on most wiper blades. The customer never removed them.
0:27 The shop advised the customer to go see a body shop to get the roof repaired and have the antenna reinstalled.
0:39 As mentioned the "brake fluid leak" was automatic transmission fluid leaking from a bottle.
1:02 The steering wheel was dirty and had to be cleaned.
1:11 No extra info.
1:22 It's an 8-speed automatic transmission fluid (Chrysler) and the customer put ATF-4 back in, which it does not require. So the check engine light came on as numerous DTCs (diagnostic trouble codes) were set for the transmission. Oil was leaking everywhere as well.
1:37 The technician said it was actually in for a suspension noise/concern, but he could not find it or diagnose the issue until he removed the watermelon as it was so loud.
1:51 If the vehicle comes back to the shop, I'll give an update on what they find!
2:02 Happened in the UK. No extra information.
2:12 Hopefully they get new tires soon so it does not cause further a lot of damage like the photo previously shown.
2:24 Customer is trying to get the insurance company to cover the costs of damages. (Just happened)
2.39 The battery hold-down was left loose and touched the positive battery terminal.
2:49 "That was an old Mercedez-Benz s600 that had multiple control unit issues... but far as the battery, I believe it was shorted internally... jumped backwards* the charging system was 14.3V to the battery if I remember right."
3:00 No extra info. But a very weird find!
3:12 1964 VW Bug. Still has the 6v electrical system!
3:25 Outro. Thanks for watching! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Hope everyone has a great week and thanks for watching!

This is what I would call a compilation of "blooming idiots", only fast tracked blooming idiots is more like it!! As for
some people that do have common sense, at least those kinds of people will at least investigate or at least take a
closer look at the situation and at least after doing so, then take it to a mechanic to have that car checked out! But
oh no, not on their lives would they, nor could they ever, ever, ever do that! I suppose that is why there is insurance
adjusters and State Police that are specially trained to locate and find mechanical failures and also special investig-
ators that are trained to reconstruct accident scenes. And so certain people that cause such accidents and make
everybody's insurance rates go through the ceiling should not only be fined and forced to pay restitution, but depend-
ing on the severity, should also permanently loose their license and go to jail! I'm watching this channel for the first
time and I am here to tell yah that these types of events only just touches the tip off the iceberg when it comes to
braising boldness and shear stupidity! Just a keep these videos coming!!
@JustRolledIn You need to make a video, "Best of, Customer declined repairs"
@@doubleubee7523 I'll keep that in mind!
@@JustRolledIn if you do, let me know. I will put together some stuff for you.
The technician was very confused is quite the understatement!
What? Radiator boiled beans is delicious and 10w 30 flavored salami is a great chaser. 🤪
A nice warm genoa salami sammy tastes great. Its problem is, it's already bad for you, so who cares if your warming method isn't exactly hygenic.
Well at least it's not tofu!@@toupac3195
Whenever you see weird inexplicable shit on the internet it’s always kids. I bet the customers kids did it.

Remember to always check your bean level in your radiator. If it gets too low you run the risk of a sprouting.

I don't have beans. Will peas be an adequate replacement?
Thanks for the insight…Jack
Offensive jokes ahead: Mexican coolant?
@@franzfanzYou should refer to your owners manual, beause I believe peas are more commonly used in European domestic vehicles.

I love how you always show a nice, beautifully maintained vehicle at the end. It solves the unconscious anxiety caused by all that bumfuckery and makes the universe right again.
agree 100%, its a nice touch, there is balance in the force
I believe that it's required by law.
"bumfuckery" ha ha ha ha, haven't heard that term in years.
Lol, I was trying to figure out what the heck was wrong with the VW at the end
Indeed.
You know that one guy that called a mechanic to check his car at home for a leaking break line still did the right thing. Its better then him trying to drive it to a mechanic and have the brakes actually fail on him.
Absolutely. Or have it towed.
Might sound obvious, but I don't think it would have occurred to me before I started working in a shop:
Call the shop and ask for a recommendation. A tow that isn't an emergency should generally be a small fraction of what you pay at the side of the road, or when your car gets impounded. (Though it does depend on the distance and complexity of the service.)
I have to agree here part of being an adult is knowing your limits. This guy knew his limit and did the right thing. It's wayyyy better than "I heard a noise 2000 miles ago and turned the radio up". Atleast the owner is paying attention.
"Customer wasn't sure wtf was going wrong, but made the correct decision to call a mechanic. Even though the customer was completely wrong in their assumption, it's always better to be safe rather than sorry."
Unless you know what you're doing, don't be a dumbass. There's plenty of people who will risk shit on their own assumptions. What we should be preaching is being safe rather than sorry. Sure, you could be wrong and not need the help. However, it's better than being wrong about needing the help....
One of my vehicles needed brake work last fall, I looked at a few videos and was working myself up to replacing the pads, but the more videos I watched, the more I was convinced it needed rotors and probably calipers too. I knew that that was really beyond my mechanical skills so I drove it to the shop without tearing everything apart and needing it to be towed.
I am no mechanic but I'd at least look around my vehicle if I heard an odd noise before taking it in to be diagnosed with styrofoam melonitis.
My favorites are the "noises" that are something rolling around in the truck/back seat and the "my AC won't blow cold" and all it ended up being was they had it turned to heat. I often wonder if they get charged full price for the silly ones
Americans are so lazy to do even that. If they can't even bother regular oil change why bother for anything less?
@@ThatDevilForrest
I hope that they charge full price
The owner of that vehicle was later diagnosed with idiotitis
@@woox200sx a more common malady than you might expect !
MANY drivers are infected with such .
Obviously that owner of the Mustang should NOT have a car like that🤦🏼♂️
Most Mustang owners should not own a Mustang.

@@walnutkraken9430 The 99% all claim to be in 1%.
Most of the owners/drivers of the cars featured on this channel should not have a car…
That was a beauty. Now it'll be a nice lawn ornament!
How disgusting did that steering wheel have to be for them to think it was melting 🤢
Ugh! Reminds me of a lady that I worked with. The phone reciever at her desk was coated with so much makeup that I suspect she applied it with a trowel.
I don’t understand why people let their cars get that dirty. The moldy cars are the worst. 🤢
I think the rolling ash tray from the last episode of JRI takes the cake.
I can only imagine it was like the floor of your local McDonald's.
Women and their damn hand creams. I have worked on a few, anywhere they touch is like this.
I love the fact that they made the customer clean that grease off.
Well, the customer put it on there 2 begin with soooo.....
After a chain shop found I had a serious oil leak, they told me to take the car, get the underside steam-cleaned, because otherwise they couldn't use the dye to find the leak.
I already like this shop. I don't get paid enough to be cleaning customer's fixes like these.
Well they COULD do it but then they'd need to bill the customer more hours for their time dicking around with that mess. Then the customer would get mad about it. Best to just tell them to get it cleaned then come back.
I wonder if they greased the brake discs ? 😮
Was in high school in the mid 70’s during the muscle car craze. Some of us had serious hot rods and used to hang out in the parking lot and talk cars. Had this one guy that really wanted to hang with us but he wasn’t exactly a “car guy” and drove a VW Beetle. We all have to start somewhere and learn so we suffered him and let him hang out. We were all talking about winterizing our cars and he said he’d already done his. We all looked at him like WTH, you drive a Beetle it’s air cooled. The asked him where the hell did you put the antifreeze? He had drained the crankcase and put it in there. We were surprised he made it to the school. We offered to tow his car home for him but he decided to drive it instead. Needless to say he wound up walking most of the way home. 🙄😂
I feel like this dude wanted to be with you so bad he did things he thought is correct but is not. Like, the Beetle is already "winterized" due to its air cooled engine so much so it's the best car of choice infor Antarctica, why bother with all that?
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131 Yeah but do you know how hard it is to drive to Antarctica?
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131 : In fact, Beetles need to "summerised". The engines tend to overheat, at least here in warm Australia they do. When they were common, you often heard them popping and banging going down hills due to unburnt fuel in the exhaust muffler due burnt exhaust valves. Many people used to fit external air scoops to try and get the engine temperature down. In kombi vans the extra air scoops were pretty much mandatory if you wanted the engine to last.
@@keithammleter3824 As a long time Air Cooled VW mechanic I can tell you 100% that any one that bands and pops isn't properly maintained / tuned .
I drive old VW's across the Desert at 120* F and never have any issues because they're stock and properly tuned .
-Nate
@@VWNate1 : Yeah, sure mate, and I am Henry Ford.
The VW Beetle and its engine was designed in the 1930's as a cheap and nasty thing per the Nazi concept of People's (ie low income peasants') this and that. Volks-radio (only 3 tubes), Volks-refrigerator, etc. Germany is a cold country. The designers never anticipated it would be sold around the world.
I worked for a large company that had a fleet of cars. One year they bought a quantity of VW's. One time I visited the service centre - they had along one wall about 20 or so VW engines with the heads off, all showing clear signs of over-heating - burnt pistons and exhaust valves with bits missing. Being company cars, they were all stock and all maintained to specified schedule.
That company only bought Beetles in one year. Not only did the engines suffer from overheating, drivers didn't like the floor-pivoted pedals, which were not very safe.
Beetle engines and even Kombi engines could survive a reasonable number of years in private use when used for city commuting and not carrying any weight, albiet with the standard rough running, plus popping and banging going down hills due burnt & pitted valves. But in commercial service they could be hard to start and show low compression in as little as a single summer.
Here in Australia, if you needed a light van, there were only 2 available - the VW Kombi, and the English Commer - both were crap - the Kombis overheating and the Commers gutless and unreliable. Then came the Toyota Hi-Ace van, which pretty much ended sales of Kombis and Commers. And the Toyota Celica & Datson, which ended sales of the VWW Beetle. Why? Because the Japanese cars didn't overheat and sound dreadful.
At the garage where we used to work at. We had a wall called the wall of shame. Whenever we got really bad parts, really bad vehicles, we would take a picture of it and put it up on the wall is shame. Same thing is when the mechanics screw up. We would take a picture of them and put them up on the wall of shame too. My picture was up there once. I made a stupid mistake and I paid for it.
I have made many mistakes working on my cars, but they are never done twice and they are MY mistakes.
I mean you can't just tell half the story. What was the mistake? Or was it just not particularly funny?
that's awesome! I'll be doing a mechanic fails compilation later this year. Got lots of good ones to show :)
@JustRolledIn oh man I cannot wait for that video to come out.
@@bearing_aficionado trying to make it a long one. We've been collecting clips for months
The mechanic who discovered the leaking brake fluid was just ATF leaking from a container is Ivan at Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics. A lot of his videos are master classes in diagnostics.
Yep he submitted the clip to us!
When I found that leaking bottle of ATF I instantly thought of Just Rolled In 😂👌
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnosticsAt least it was a "no parts needed" repair.
@@61rampy65Not exactly. The customer would benefit from a replacement brain.
@@Sashazur i have no doubt the customer would decline that repair even if it were free .
I guess someone took the saying "Give it the beans" a bit too literally.
The blown tire one is a good lesson to listen to your mechanic or bad things could happen.
Finally, the consequence of pressing the "decline repair" button has happened...
@@theotherohlourdespadua1131 tbf this is the kind of customer that threatens to sue because "you just worked on my car" and "it wasn't like that before" just to have the owner fold under the slightest bit of pressure and internal thousands of dollars in repairs.
@@Hawk7886 Honestly they may have aired up the tires because they were low from leaking. May very well have been the reason it blew.
@@ShinyaSenshi And 1,528 other reasons you could just dream up. Who care why it blew. The point is tyres should be changed before that happens. Just think, it might have blown at a crossing and he ran into a column of kids crossing the road. Look after your tyres and they will look after you and everyone else.
you know, karma at it's best, can only imagine the state of the tyre and declined repairs,
Gotta love Mustang drivers! As long as they're around, mechanics will never run out of work.
I feel like that's the most submitted clip sometimes 😅
Don't forget the panel beaters, too, as they highly profit from mustang drivers.
Are you on drugs? Mustang owners never authorize work.
@@JustRolledIn Don't forget all the BMW'S with 'never' change Oil & full of bullet holes ! 😁
Also insurance companies, body shops, conventional oil makers, AutoZone etc.
Ha! The instant karma.
"Sir, you need new tires,"
"I, customer, decline repairs."
For a decade or so I had a spell of mysterious semi-instant karma. Within two days of doing somebody a favor I would have episodes of being spared serious injury by a very close margin. The last one was when I replaced the fan belt on my daughter's 1981 Corolla. I stood aside as she started the car, then leaned in to see if the belt was behaving or whipping. As I did that the hood support slipped through the mounting hole and the hood slammed down, the corner of it snatching the glasses off of my face. If I had been a quarter of an inch closer....
I bet getting new tires would've been a quarter of the price instead of the damage to the front end
Not to mention that they could've killed themselves or others when it blew.
penny wise, dollar foolish
Whilst it may have been a 30 second diagnosis that they could have sorted themselves, can we appreciate that the car owner who believed they had a vital fluid leak at least actually took their car straight in to see the experts, whereas most on here just seem to keep driving until the point of no return.
Some of this stuff are genuinely innocent things that you would just never think about. Hell, I had a truck in the shop and it was there for well over a week because the mechanic couldn't figure the issue out, when he finally exhausted himself with everything that it potentially was, he went and looked at the most obvious, "It's never this" thing and sure enough.
Welcome to another episode of "Why I'm glad I didn't become an auto tech."
They don't get paid enough!
I wonder how long until they go full Edna Mode on their asses.
I’m glad I quit early on
For me it's, "Why I'm glad I'm an auto tech... in a small town." City people are nuts.
I was a tech back in the '70's.....Now, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night with all the "STUPID" people driving total wrecks with bad tites and no brakes!
Sarah said, “Give it the beans.”
It's really not a big deal. I usually keep a couple beans in my radiator too.
go faster beans....
Where else would one put them?
Cool beans😊
its full of anti-freeze so maybe its warm beans
Well some tequila has a worm in it, so why not beans in a radiator.
I'm guilty of the one at 0:25 too... To my excuse: I never (ever) seen once (and came in contact again after that time) with windshield wipers with a protection on. Before I realized, I was all "Oh, look at these fancy wipers with red profile!"... :D
I did that once and thought the yellow was a new blade design. Installed and turn sprayer on and it did nothing. Took another look at them and stared at them thinking "what and idiot" before removing the cover.
Look, I’m pretty good at fixing stuff in my cars. I’ve changed oil pans, every fluid there is to change, alternators, a bunch of stuff. To this day the damn windshield wipers always get me confused. I always try to put them in upside down or backwards and it takes me 5 min to do a 30 second job
@@lesterparker1594Amen to that!!!
@@lesterparker1594 not speaking about the stupid amount of different connecting clips they use now... I mean, is it really necessary to have like 15 different types of fixings for different car brands? They have to do just one single task: let's have them standardized!
Salami sandwich under the hood is weird enough, but beans in the radiator??? I'd love to hear that story.
Jimmy John's to go & a year round garden
So turbo charging an engine can cause damage if not tuned properly...what are the odds?
Definitely! With force induction added you got to make some changes 😁
For starters, there are a number of major mechanical changes that must be done with pressurized induction.
Head gaskets are different, and the gaskets are O-ringed.
Compression ratios are lower, usually with different pistons.
The exhaust system must be able to withstand the higher heat.
The state of tune is critical because the engine will "ping", or detonate, massively (for a short time, before a piston is holed) from the altered combustion environment.
another good reason to avoid exhaust blast pumps altogether
@@spaceflight1019 wouldn't the knock sensor reduce the risk.of ping and predetonation?
@@mikefoehr235 The stock knock sensor has a relatively limited range of timing adjustment, nowhere near enough to compensate for the increase in combustion pressure forced induction brings.
Food in the car... I wonder if the person heard their car making a growling noise and thought it was hungry. You are not you, when you are hungry. lol
Cooking or heating food under your hood is more common then you think although this clip with the muffin reminds me of a Seinfeld episode when Kramer put his groceries under the hood of Jerrys car and his popular quote , " The Triple-A guy said I was this close to sucking a muffin down the carburetor."
That was a very beautiful VW at the end of the video. Thanks for sharing these awesome videos guys.
1:22 ZF8 transmission, to be exact. Which also requires a special cold fill/run/hot fill procedure at a specific temperature range - which I’d bet big cash those driveway kids didn’t do, either lol.
Lol! Definitely not
that's about the prettiest and cleanest VW motor I've ever seen in my 60 years and my family has owned quite a few!!!
I had one like that in 1971 except mine had interior trim in the rear 😃
You put the magic beans in your radiator, and you can just simply **drive** up to the giant's castle.
Those carbon wheels are easily $16,000 for all 4. On the GT350R they’re $4,000 ish each
Yeah when I saw that shit I literally said out loud "Oh my God those wheels are nearly the price of my car lmao"
I love it when a customer refuses service, then gets their just deserts shortly after! Should've gotten that tire changed, bud!
I feel for the person with the antenna problem. The antenna on my wife's car got ripped off at the car wash. Of course, Ford decided to discontinue it and make a change to it. Now it comes in a primer gray so it can be painted the same color as your vehicle. Now it costs 3x as much to buy it, paint it, and have it installed. So I decided it's gonna stay primer gray and I installed it myself. Thanks Ford for your infinite wisdom. You took something that was working just fine as a flat matte black plastic antenna cover and decided to "upgrade" only to cost the consumer way more money than it needed to be. It's an antenna for crying out loud.
Rustoleum gloss black spray paint?
Knowing Ford, I'm not surprised
You know, they make spray paint for a reason.
FORD: Frustrated Owner Really Disappointed
@@madmatt2024 I know they do
This channel has introduced me to some really strange things people do to their cars, but “beans in the radiator” takes the cake.
Had my episode of Just Rolled In here at AutoZone. Customer complaint was that his amplifier fuse keeps blowing after he installed a stereo himself on an 03 Impala 3.8 he just bought. His vehicle is also overheating. We went outside to take a look.
The overheating issue was caused by one of the fans on the dual fan assy not working. One of the tires on the front had a big bulge in the sidewall. One of the calipers in the rear was seized and missing the brake pads.
I politely informed the customer he needed to address the other issues before worrying about the radio. The customer purchased a pack of fuses and drove away.
That Bug brings back so many memories, didn't make enough power to hurt itself, no heater (unless you liked flames shooting out the right front fender), hard to start in the rain, but I loved them!
An air-cooled Bug built in the 70's or earlier is the only VW I would ever buy.
That would've meant there was exhaust leaking into the heater box at the manifold. And the engine was probably running really fat. Inspect and maintain your shit, gentlemen.
The "heard a weird noise and paid for a mechanic's time before just removing every damn random loose object rolling around in my truck bed/carboot" ones are the ones that really leave me scratching my head? 🤔 We've seen rogue watermelon & bowling balls, boot spaces chock-full of pennies or exercise weights.... In what universe is it faster and cheaper to hire a professional to find these for you?? 😂 Ah well, it's a quick fun fix for the autoshop team at least - maybe it makes a nice change from all the gunked-up oil pans and destroyed clutch assemblies... 🤷🏻♀️
It takes a certain level of mechanical clue to understand what to look for. I mean, if you were writing instructions how to diagnose that noise, I bet the words "watermelon" or "Styrofoam cooler" would not appear until the second paragraph.
I know people who are otherwise functional, but get a wicked case of the Stupids around anything mechanical. Like when a wooden door began to sag on the hinges, they modified the door to fit crooked because they just never thought about the hinges.
Such people really are wiser bringing weird noises to someone else.
Perhaps they are lawyers. My wife was born into a lawyer family and was a law clerk, Both her brothers are lawyers, and through them I know other lawyers. They are all pretty dumb and waste a lot of money. Things like paying someone to come to their house once a month and change the batteries in every thing that is battery operated - including the items having rechargeable batteries.
Question: how people does an office boy need to change a light globe in his flat?
Answer: None, he'll do it himself.
Question; how many people does a lawyer need to change a light globe in his penthouse?
Answer; one law clerk to draw up a contract, one security guard to let the contactor into the penthouse, and one electrical contractor - three people.
One time my wife and I stayed with her lawyer brother for a week. He had been paying some kid to regularly mow his lawn using his own lawnmower. While we were there the kid turned up but said he couldn't start the mower as the rope broke. Lawyer brother said to us that this had happened before, no big deal, he knew a local mechanic who could fix the rope for ~$100. So I walked to a nearby hardware store, bought a cheap 8 mm spanner to get the cover nuts off, and some small engine rope, came back and in 2 minutes fitted the rope and started the mower. Lawyer brother said "How can you know to do that? You are an electronics engineer, not a mechanic. Maybe I should still take the mower to the mechanic to make sure its all right."
Lovely palate cleanser 👍 Good to see Ivan@Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics making an appearance on the channel!
Congrats on 500K!!
Thank you! I appreciate it
nice! the shop told them to come back after they cleaned off all that grease 🤣
That Beetle is absolutely gorgeous. I love that color.
Early Beetles look so clean.
Each following year through the late 60s & 70s just messed up the looks with mandated bumpers, bloated lights and safety gear.😢
The price of a new vehicle will stop your heart but once you own it you must maintain it. Most people forget that part, obviously.
I also once found bread in the engine bay of my gf´s car, after she told me she noticed a weird smell. Seems like some animal found the bread and looked for a cozy place to eat it.
I hope the weird smell was toast, not baked squirrel.
@@Sashazur Yes, it was toast.
The absolute BEST ENDING to any of your vids.. BugsForever!
1:05 gotta love that hand sweat steering wheel cover, got one of them on my car!
I have a wrist support for my PC keyboard that was coated with a slick vinyl-like material but after five-plus years of constant use it started flaking and peeling up. So finally I decided to work at getting all of it off and after multiple cleanings of the nylon-sweat hybrid I was left with a dark gray fabric-covered pad which is actually more comfortable.
Who else was expecting a heart in that janky cooler.
I was thinking a head or something, I watch too many real crime shows.
You know honestly my favorite part is at the end when i get to see people that actually know what they are doing show there pride and joy
I've seen food under hoods before... usually it's left there by rats... but beans in the coolant? That's a new one.
These never get old dude ... Sweaty melting steering wheel 🤢🤣 love it when there's a surprise samich for the technician 😋🤣 have a great week my friend 👍
That steering one was hilarious 😂 and you as well buddy!
Man, I hate it when I find beans in my radiator.
I can't believe it! I just changed the wipers on a friend's car and said "I wonder if anyone ever left the plastic strip on the wipers ", only to see on a video 😅😅
I did it once. Oops!
I think the customer was using the engine bay for cooking. 🤣
😂
You mean you’ve never tried the engine oil pepperoni toasted bagel with anti freeze boiled beans? You are seriously missing out on life experience there my friend 🤣
😂 i'll give it a try tomorrow. I've had warmed up some food with aluminum foil on an exhaust but not like how that customer did it
That Type 1 VW was seriously clean! Looks better than it did in the showroom.
Some people do not deserve nice things, that GT500 owner is one... those rims made me almost cry😢
The Mercedes E350 owner is another undeserving owner. The cords are whipping wround the suspension but they dclined to replace the tires? Wreck just waitiing to happen...
These DIYers featured here are the same people who try to hammer in screws.
@JustRolledIn, these videos always leave me scratching my head but I like how you end them with a well-running classic car. Way to end them on a high note.
Thank GAWD for the Bug at the end! The GT 500 operator defines "twit".
It's sad when people with too much money (turbo engine and GT500) dont take care of their cars well.
Curbing carbon fiber wheels is wild let alone not knowing how to go over bumps in a low pony car. And then they’ll have the nerve to ask full price when selling that already clapped junk
Walking into autozone and be like:
"Yo you guys got bean fluid?"
Aisle 5, next to the Headlight Fluid, pal.
“Next to the blinker fluid.”
for the guy that tire blew after the mechanic told him to replace it: It should be completly legal to charge that guy the "Idiot I told you Fee" of a additional 100 bucks minimum
Oh don't worry, once the insurance adjuster gets a look at the other three tires, they'll get what's coming to them.
Hagerty's has an excellent video on rebuilding that VW engine.
Thanks for getting my Bullitt Mustang in at 3:28 and Nice bug BTW
Those carbon rims won't be cheap to replace
That's like 20k + in wheels I think 😅
@@JustRolledIn 😱
I just don’t get why you would have wheels that expensive on a street car. No matter how careful you are, sooner or later you’ll ding them and it’ll cost 50x more to fix than an alloy wheel.
Thank you for ending the videos allways with someone taking good care of a Car, this gives everybody a little bit of hope back
Tech: Clean up your mess
Customer: I won’t be back
Watching these videos makes me feel better about my 22 year old Mitsubishi
I understand, cause I drive a 2000 Tacoma. And I do NOT want a TV screen in front of me (I watch the ROAD) and I NEED a CD player!
Sometimes its hard to believe these are real people driving cars around. Kind of scary.

All I could say all though this video was "Wow" they are actually driving among us.
There is an intersection by my house where if you're turning the road has a huge change in camber and goes up hill. It regularly catches people out. One person recently with bald tyres in the wet hit the kerb so hard it destroyed her suspension and pushed the wheel so it was touching the inner guard. What if I had been waiting to cross with my dog? We would be been killed. I have no time for anyone who (like the SUV that parks by my work) drives cars that are unmaintained and drive around with bald tyres.
And voting in presidential elections.
I'm thinking they lean left hard.
@@jerryfrederick6610 Wow, people on the internet can get political from anything these days...
The steering wheel was melting had me dying
It's never dull in this business.
ATF in the brake fluid guy reminds me of my buddy who while relocating for a new job and him being 14hrs away his wife and adult kids couldn’t figure out how to start their lawnmower. He had it for years and never had a problem with it. He came home to find out they topped the 5w30 oil off with 2stroke oil, my buddy was NOT happy. And as far as self oil change guy goes, that guy failed on just about every level there was😂
I've heard of giving it the beans, but I didn't think they meant the radiator. 🤦😂
Really?! Beans in the radiator? Everyone knows it should be red beans and rice 😂
and replace the coolant with chicken broth.
Found rice in a radiator twice, on a forklift in a food warehouse-did a great job of overheating the engine!!
Gotta ❤️ that bug! 👍
His buddies definitely stuffed that food there lol
I absolutely love that VW Bug!!!
"How do YOU cook your beans sir? In a pot on a stove you say! Well la de dah, look at mister fancy with his stove and cookware."
"Radiator boiled beans are an old family recipe. The antifreeze adds a nice sweetness to it."
This channel always makes my brain itch. 🤪
Those high-performance cars got some low-performance owners for sure!
literally so fun to watch 😁😁😁😁
0:53 oh yeah, I kept a bottle of oil in that spot in my Outback too. It didn't use oil but I come from a Land Rover family and old habits die hard.
That windshield wiper cover one was exactly how my parents were.
They bought a new windshield wiper for the car, and for a year they drove with it thinking it was just a stupid product... Until my mom cleaned the car and noticed the cover. It's hilarious to remember
The satisfaction of the tire exploding after they refused repair warms my heart 🤣
But you can bet the customer tried to somehow make that the shop's fault.
Great channel!! Love the old Bug at the end!
Another good video.
These silly people always put a funny smile on my face. Thanks..
I like how you include a good example of a "just rolled in" car at the end.
With the first Mustang… I don’t think not being tuned was the only issue.
Obviously they hooned it to 'try out' the turbo, but it really is a serious issue when you add an entire component affecting how every stage of the engine functions, it needs to be tuned.
I cry every time I see a ruined sports car (ford mustang gt 500) I’ve had my GT supercharged (Kenny bell aftermarket installed 2 months after purchase in 2003 by ford factory techs / family; and yes we reinforced the frame since it’s a convertible) for 20 years and she’s a beast that I’m getting too old to enjoy. I still love to put the convertible top down and cruise. It’s still fun to give these kids a run for their money sometimes too. But the stick shift is work in traffic and I’m getting older. 😂 Besides, every time I take it out my hubby gets a picture of it in the mail. I call it blackmail.
I had a 1969 Lotus Europa S2. A dream to drive; a nightmare to maintain. It sure got the lust for exotic cars out of my blood, though!
I'm always surprised that there isn't some kind of giant label that can't legally be applied to the window stating the vehicle is not safe to drive. So many of these are unsafe for the driver and everyone else on the road.
What I find strange is people not checking for themselves first before bringing it to a mechanic. I left a blade guard on a wiper once, it only took me a minute to figure it out.
Congrats on 500k!
Thank you! Appreciate it
Not sure what's funnier - the smoking battery or the food in the engine bay. Both are winners. Thanks
3:00 I had a classmate in tech school that kept a bottle of powdered spice in his engine bay. He got along with a lot of people very well, yet when anyone asked about his bottle of spice, he never gave anyone an answer. We would go to lunch in large numbers together, nobody saw it anywhere else but his engine bay
That V Dub- simple times !!
vw bug, simply one of the most reliable vehicles ever
They had their faults, including engine fires. The carburetor was mounted above the ignition, so a carburetor leak often resulted in an engine fire. I came across a lady who had that experience on an Arizona highway. With her permission, I disconnected the battery before it was towed to prevent a secondary electrical fire.
It is hard to beat the Prius (after the first gen) or other pre-Prime Toyotas for sheer reliability. Bugs usually needed a clutch replacement or two in their time. Our third gen 2014 Prius has 156k miles on it and has never given us trouble. Still on original brakes (although the front is more than half worn) but it is about time for new iridium plugs.
Okay. "A couple of beans in the radiator" got me pretty good.
2:08 Got a couple local Jawas there.
They've been known to crawl under a Pike Spice Runner and crimp stuff off when they're refueling.
