0:00 Intro
0:05 This is how the serpentine belt should have been routed.
bit.ly/3RC76cx
Since it was installed incorrectly it caused the water pump to spin backward. It was also the technician who removed the fan shroud. It came in with it on.
Instead of pumping the hot coolant out of the engine past the thermostat to cool the coolant in the radiator, the water pump will force the cold coolant out of the radiator towards the thermostat causing it to close so no coolant enters the hot engine to cool it off.
0:28 Since the brake hose is twisted the brake fluid won't "flow" as it should and most likely kept the brakes engaged which got them very hot. The brakes were also so hot they melted the grease out of the lower ball joint.
0:38 McDonald's straw was in the way. Removed and the tray now closes.
0:48 Truck had no fuel in it.
0:59 If the serpentine belt is broken off, the alternator won't be able to charge the battery which caused all the issues the customer was having.
Sometimes they fall off due/break due to age, but it can also be caused by a bad pulley.
1:12 As mentioned the customer used washers since they didn't have the correct wheels that were the correct bore size to fit their vehicle.
The customer could have got hub-centric rings to fix that issue.
1:24 Customer got new tires installed.
1:33 The customer got a new lower control arm + alignment before leaving.
1:41 The customer's friend installed the sticker as a joke.
1:51 The customer damaged the sub-frame and power steering rack.
2:03 A/C Compressor wasn't being used, so the technician was surprised why they just didn't remove it. Also, you can see the customer used some wiring connectors that aren't meant to be used on a vehicle's electrical system.
2:12 The technician said: "Nissan Pathfinder Customer came in for both rear doors not opening. exterior handles diagnosed by customers' google searching. Replaced handles as requested. We found both lock modules to have failed. Rotting pizza and other food in the footwells and around the children's booster seats."
2:28 The technician said: "We couldn't turn it by hand so yeah, plugs and coils out and turned it over with no compression. The intercooler was also full of water. After we got all the water out we wanted to see if it would fire and it has a bent rod."
2:42 The technician said: "the noise and issues were confirmed to be another failed/defective transmission which damaged the clutch and flywheel, as far as I know, there are still issues with the Manual 5 Speed PSA Group transmissions. It started off with it jumping out of 5th to neutral and then 5th gear was missing, only for the other gears to become the same as neutral. Car was recently returned to the dealer with electrical faults at only 7300 miles / 11748 kilometres."
3:03 "I was under the truck changing the oil when it started to roll down the driveway and I managed to stay under it and not get hurt."
I think the guy somehow took the truck out of park when he was underneath. He most likely was doing something with the shift linkage going to the transmission and took it out of gear.

it was okay - happy monday everybody! 😄
Are these people future Darwin award recipients???! 😅??
I submitted my new BMW M40i, I hope to see it at the end of a video soon 😬
My favorite one is when the customer says the redline on the tach wasn't there when they brought it in and wants money back 😂
Better then the last guy, thats for sure
It's astonishing how modern technology in cars tell you with an image that you're low on gas but people somehow still can't figure out you need gas to keep the car running.
Right? It’s absolutely mental. Seeing that makes me speechless.
@@souldude6344 apparently it doesn't say "you need to either get to a gas station or put gas inside your gas tank or your car will die". It's only a matter of time though.
So do they have trouble comprehending the conversation when you tell them they need to get gas? 😂
_GASOLINE MAKES ME RUN_
Remember, it’s really funny that people don’t understand why their car died when it’s out of gas or why their compartment won’t close with a pen blocking it, until you realize these are the same idiots driving next to you on the highway making life or death decisions daily.
i mean the pen one is pretty harmless; dude just got the car and didnt know any better (and was apparantly too lazy to do any problem solving) but yeah the other ones are big head-scratchers
Womp wompppp lol true but sad.
@@kahlzun As someone who did tech support for a major cable company, I can say that the average person is 100% incapable of basic trouble shooting. I had many times had to tell people that the "No Signal" on their computer monitor is because the computer is off and to try turning it back on.
It’s really humbling that they allow me to ride my bike next to them on the highway, especially when I look over and see how I inconvenienced them and their phone conversation with my pipes, making them lose track of their texting and making it so they can’t hear whose on the other end of the line
@@kahlzun - Straw not pen.
My college buddy wanted to flat-tow his Duster to Florida behind a rented truck so I figured I'd remove the driveshaft so as not to cook the transmission. I was lying under the car in my parents' driveway which has a slight slope to it. Undoing the u-joint bolts went fine until the last one which was really hard to get out. It finally came loose with a "thump" and next thing I knew there was a tire pressing on my shoulder as the Duster tried to roll into the street. My friend had not set the parking brake, and I hadn't checked or put a block in place. The only saving grace was that everyone else was inside at dinner and no one saw me try to run myself over. Ah, sweet youth, the memories...
Recently had a scare like that. Wrapping up a resto on my step dads old F100. Had to adjust the shift lever on the bottom and was letting it warm up. Hadn’t realized I messed up the linkage inside the valve body and the truck was stuck in drive 😅 thank god it was low on fluid and barely moved forward or that would’ve been it for me.
@@daviddeusinger5184 This is one of those stories where if you didn't know cars you'd go, "yea whatever you're just trying to get likes" whereas someone who knows cars is going.. "yup been there" lmaoo but in all seriousness I did the same shit in my old mustang...
Good times 😁
My hand got in a fight with the metal fan of a 12v cummins once got lucky with scrapes and fingers that ached for a solid 30 mins.
@@thedukeofallsaiyans1369 I'm barely able to do the basics (oil, lights, that sort of thing), and that sounds terrifying. The likes thing never crossed my mind lol
I’ve been a firefighter for years. We chock every vehicle at every accident even if on flat ground. Always chock a vehicle you’re going to be under. Even if in park with the e brake on. You can get them for $20 at harbor freight. Shit happens. Mechanical stuff breaks.
my first foreman nailed into my head to never play with your life. people get overconfident all the time and tragedies happen.
We had a close one when we were working on my father-in-law's combine a few years ago. Had to rebuild the clutch since it was worn out, and in order to do that, had to have the LH drive wheel pulled off. Somehow none of us thought to chock the combine when we pulled the wheel off. Fortunately, we found more stuff wrong, so while we were outside waiting for our wives to get back with parts, we heard a gut-wrenching crash from inside the shop. Sure enough, the combine had rolled forward off the blocks and was now resting on the shop floor where I had been laying only 45 minutes earlier.
I'll never forget that sound, or wheel chocks, as long as I live.
Put something under it for support also in case you lose a tire.
Nah man let these morons do their thing. Frees up air for the rest of us. Natural selection and such.
@@richardvenables619 the sound of a ram 1500 falling off a lift my buddy was under not even 30 seconds ago is burned in my head.
To the last guy doing the oil change, have you ever heard of PARK? Or PARKING BRAKE? Or a block of wood under your tire ? 🙄
yeah, seriously... park isn't something you trust your life with.
A similar thing happened to my dad when the parking break on his truck failed.
chock it up to a lack of experience
As a guy with automatic trans in "world of manuals" called EU, i can agree. Park isn't 100% safe, Parking Brake needs to be at least on one side fully working. As a Citroen C5 owner - it has Parking Brake on... front wheels. It's a pain to replace.
@@mmllmmll22 French cars just have to be that bit different don't they?
Seeing these videos gives truth to what my Dad has always told me. "It's not you to be worried about but others on the road"
I had a friend who said that his mother was never in an accident but she probably caused a few, I still think that's hilarious.
I can't take credit for it, but another commenter somewhere said when he was 16 & began driving, his dad told him the definition of Defensive Driving: _Always assume the others driver cannot see you, cannot hear you, & will not stop!_
I began driving for Domino's Pizza at 18. Within my first year with them, my everyday mantra became _Assume_ NO ONE _is going to yield ROW to me today._ By 19 I had one fender bender that I shouldve avoided. My insurance paid to repair that person's car. In the 31 years since Ive been involved with two other collisions & they were both life-threatening, even though there were no injuries. I caused neither collision
This is preaching to you unnecessarily. But for anyone else reading this, what I am saying is keep practicing Defensive Driving everyday. Pride & anger are what cause collisions in the first place, & those lead to hospitalization & death. So there is no place for pride & anger out on the road. Stay alert; stay humble; stay alive! :D 💜
The funniest bumper sticker I ever saw was on a Nissan Murano: _Female Asian Driver - Good Luck Everybody Else!_
As is usual with "It's not X, but Y" statements...both.
It is down right scary to think that junk like that is on the road being driven by clueless people.
That’s what I say
It's sharing the roads with you and your children ;)
That is why cars should be check every 2/3 years by the state.
Whats scary is insurance companies are insuring thos piles of junk
@@apeflawless Some places it's every year, 10 years past manufacture, Cars go from an NCT every 2 years to annually in Ireland. There's debate if it should even be 10.
For the most part though the overwhelming majority of accidents, minor and fatal on Irish roads are human error.
Which is disturbingly proven by the sudden rise in road accidents here after 2021. We had more fatalities between the first of January and the end of March, as we have back in 2017. We had an annually dropping fatality count... People forgot how to drive in less than 2 years fml
0:38- The straw that broke the tray's back,,,
😂
1) I've been the "vibration over 50" guy. I couldn't even see the tires because the car sat so low. When the shop showed me the tires, I about died! The tires had only lasted about 10K miles, so I had no expectation that it was a tire problem. 2) I was working on my chevy truck years ago and went inside to get something. I came back out, and it had rolled out the driveway and was blocking the road. No damage to anything, thankfully!
my dad had an older tundra and while parked in the driveway the parking brake cable let go. it was a manual and parked in gear so it slowly rolled out of the driveway and across the street over night.
at like midnight his neighbor woke him up and said "your truck is in the woods next to my house".
😆
@@volvo09 Lmao yeah that can happen when a tired engine is losing compression. It "creeps" like an inch at a time.
@@volvo09 If you park a manual in gear, it shouldn't move at all.
@@jimmydesouza4375 it slowly moves a "chug" at a time due to compression moving past rings and whatnot.
His driveway was a hill also, but not very steep. It took about 6 hrs to go a telephone pole length on a street rarely traveled.
are u a ghost now?
On this episode of "these idiots are on the road with you!"...
😆
🤪🤪🤣🤣🤣
01:24 -- My Firestone dealer yesterday told me I needed four new tires on my 2012 Civic and I could not remember when I last replaced them. I thought of Just Rolled In, asked him what he had on sale, and readied my credit card. They really put you at the front of the queue when you're spending six hundred dollars.
That last guy is the exact reason why I always put my emergency brake on and chalk my wheels
So you can get a parking ticket?
Must be a really big piece of chalk....
I think you need to correct your auto-correct.
@@atticstattic Nah, he's just marking them so he knows if they rolled or not.
Not if he's using the chalk chocks...
I have now made a habit of clicking the LIKE button even before watching the video.
Has not been a mistake so far.
The guy in the last clip is really lucky.
Good thing his truck looks slightly lifted. Might have gotten a differential to the head.
also really stupid .. put it in park , put the handbrake/ E brake on , chock the wheels .. or none of the above when working on your sloping driveway ??
@@888johnmac Sometimes people forget to do that, even though they might have worked on things like that a bunch of times. That's how a friend of my family died some days ago, he had worked on his semi a lot of times, but this time he forgot to lock the brakes, and well i don't need to describe what happened.
Sorry If there is any mistake, english is not my First language

And don't get me wrong, i agree with you, but sometimes things like that happen
Dodge Ram, sticker checks out
I experienced the first issue with the reversed water pump on a Ford van I used to own. The belt squeaked and was a bit loose, I noticed that it was routed incorrectly according to the diagram. I fixed it and it didn't squeak anymore. Unfortunately I also just happened to not drive it for about two months after that. When I started driving it again it started overheating all the time and I never made the connection about me changing the belt. I actually ended up getting rid of it because I couldn't figure out the issue. Looking back now, I'm certain someone installed a reverse-flow water pump in it and rigged the belt to turn it opposite from the stock pump. It still makes me furious because I loved that van and there was nothing else wrong with it. It was only the second car I'd ever owned so I was still inexperienced with repairs and especially diagnosis.
Pretty much guarantee you it wasn't a reverse pump. Waterpump housings are directional as often is the part of the engine it attaches to, so it's not a simple matter of swapping in a reversed impeller.
I'm still mad at myself for getting rid of a car for what looking back was probably just a clogged fuel filter. I likely would have gotten rid of the car eventually anyways but at least I would've gotten more than $50 for it.
@@brandonlink6568 My 1st car cost $50, sign said "$100, bring own rope". Flathead Ford, opened hood, saw plug wires crossed, offered $50, uncrossed wires, drove away...he was still shaking his head. Car ran like a champ until sold years later.
@@lironmtnranch4765 Some Fords did use a reverse direction pump, but the housing was different too. You could still get pumps mixed up as the inlet/outlet hose locations were about the same. IIRC a reverse pump was on a 60's T-Bird, and you can't get a replacement pump anymore since the limited number of usable cores for rebuilding are all gone now.
The water pump going in reverse complexed me.
Always chock your wheels. Personally I always chock both sides just for redundancies sake.
I chock either both wheels or one wheel front and back on 'flat' ground. My car is a manual so I know that the e-brake at least works. Better safe then dead.
Chocking is for pu$$ies! It's much more cool to chase your car down the road!
@@braydend9582 Reverse is an extra plus if a manual transmission.
This makes me wonder how many customers tried to sue/blame the mechanic for these blatant problems.
Well, if I was the one with 3 bad transmissions in 7000 miles I would tell the dealer to buy it back for the price paid and stick that car up his ass....
Probably a lot. I've found working a customer service job that people don't really think about stuff and you gotta do the majority of the work yourself, including protecting yourself from blame
More often then not sadly
I have heard them say more than once "The vehicle was released to the costumer unrepaired, after then signed a piece of paper, that stated that they knew about these problems"
Honestly, when the garage sees stuff like this they should call the police and have them come remove the plates until such a time the car was properly repaired.
Who says they have had a service since buying the vehicle.
These videos always make me glad there's yearly MOT / inspection in my country.
Yeah it's annoying. But not sharing the road with some of these death traps makes it more than worth it
@@jacksprat9209 in america? never
@@jacksprat9209 also saving money and not spending it on mcdonalds helps too
@@jacksprat9209 people will always treat their car like garbage.
I worked in an office with people who made more than me (I was the "IT guy") and they still let their tires run bald, had brakes down to the rotor covering the side and rear of their car with rust, and always claimed they were poor while carrying a coffee and sandwich into work, or talking about buying a new TV RIGHT after complaining about not having money to feed their kids.
People are stupid. I even gave one of these people $20 to get cold cuts and bread for their kid for a weeks lunch only to never do it again once I learned she bought take out lunch and wasted it all.
Some people will always be bad with finance. There are BMW and Ferrari vehicles that are mistreated and falling apart...
@@jacksprat9209 May be, but I have the impression, that some stuff is not money but "I don"t care" related.
yea, strict rules in my country to, sadly seen a spike of deadly accident this year (most years we are amoung the lowest amount of deadly accidents pr year but been a large spike this year, im from norway)
I've had a bolt break off in the engine block that held the alternator on and used the ratchet strap to get my ass home. It worked for a trail fix without a tow truck.
I once had a radiator hose crack right near the radiator end. Used a rubber glove and some packing tape to "mend" it. and when i came to our holiday destination and the car was cooled down, i just chopped off an inch of hose and reattached it. Drove it like that until the day i sold the car, never replaced the hose :)
Then you’re a shitty person who wasn’t raised properly John Doe. That’s a dishonest and sketchy move to sell that to someone else like that. You’re as bad as these idiot customers.
2:46 Chrysler did the same thing! Chrysler had a RECALL on a transmission years ago. Chrysler simply replaced the bad transmission, with a new exact same transmission. It would fail, over and over again! I read about it in Consumer Reports Magazine.
Ford did the same thing when they tried the cvt. 2-3 failures in 20k miles. I almost bought a ford 500 with one. Glad I didn’t
Lemon Law to the rescue! At least in the US...
Yeah, vauxhall for many years had a bad gearbox M32
It would chew through the bearings for the 5th and 6th gear axle in about 60.000 miles.
Fix....Replace the gearbox, and if more than 2 years old, at the costumers expense.
Later they did a second, and then a third revision of this gearbox, which mostly fixed the problem.
That Peugeot one and the ones mentioned in these comments are worse than what happened with the Nissan CVT transmission. At least the Nissan ones didn't fail so easily and often. Some car manufacturers have dodgy parts suppliers or powertrain inventories where the parts are made to fail essentially or are poorly designed/engineered. Nissan being Japanese sources their CVT transmissions from a Japanese supplier by the name of Jatco.
@@BlairSauer To be honest, we have a lot of Peugeots in our country and i have heard numerous stories of factory new peugeots with lots of problems.
This is one of the reasons i am never going to buy a french car.
When teaching my kids to drive, I had one piece of advice for road safety:

I love the one with the bumper sticker freaking classic
That last one rolled out instead of rolled in 😩😩 glad the dude is ok
I have a nearly flat drive and ALWAYS use wheel chocks when working on my vehicles, even if I can slide under them without lifting them.
I remember how lovely it was back when I didn't know anything about cars. Never worried, never spend any time and money on maintenance. Just drive untill the car stops, wreck it, get another one for a grand or 2 😁
Once you get to the dark side, it is hard to leave.
Good luck nowadays finding a car that runs well for only a grand or 2!
well those times are gone, those 1/2 grand cars now cost 6k so cant do that anymore
Shame on you
"Back then", a grand or 2 was an impossible dream for me. It was more like, see if I can get a transmission out of the junkyard for $50 so I can drive to work tomorrow.
I like how these techs are video taping the customers problem that way customers can't come back and say something different
Some have even mentioned getting people to sign a release form, stating that they know the poor condition of the vehicle.
This way, when they drive it the next day and crash it because it is junk, they can not say to the police "It was just at the garage and they cleared it, so it must be their fault for not telling me this".
Well yeah they can say it, but the garage has their behind covered in case the police or insurance tries something funny
@@JohnDoe-bd5sz I worked at NTB (National Tire and Battery) for a bit. When a customer turned down needed repairs, we had them sign that they refused those parts and service. Invariably some of those people come back/call back complaining that their vehicle broke or needed "all sorts of expensive repairs" at some OTHER repair garage. We pull up the old invoices that THEY signed and show them what they refused. Yeah, like those worn down to the metal brakes and bad tie rod ends were going to get better all by themselves!?
Always chock you wheels when under your vehicle.
If I parked on any slope as my normal parking on my property. I would likely chock it when parked daily also.
No gas again, I always laugh at that. Lol
OH MY GOD!!! THAT STARRY NIGHT VAN!!!! That's my favorite painting!
Like the hammer on the ground when the truck (last clip) rolled back, absolutely essential for a standard oil change.
It's amazing nowadays people will literally just put gas in their vehicle and drive it and nothing else but apparently summer forgot to do that. 🤔
You haven't seen the video? Where the car wasn't starting and got towed in because of no gas?
@@danielrauer5864 that's what he said... Some people just put gas in and drive the car, and some people can't even do that.
🤣🤣 except for the people who don't understand that the low fuel indicator means you need to go to a gas station, not the mechanic.
Ahhhh what a nice way to end the day, have a great evening Just Rolled In. 👌
You as well 😊
That truck rolling down the driveway reminded me...a friend was under his 46 Ford changing oil, car was on a jack and "securely" held in place by a broom braced against the carport post, guess who the helper was who removed the broom. We were still friends even after his car ended up across the street but there was a moment there I wasn't sure.
Hee Hee HEE! About the car or the friendship? I'm glad both the car and the friendship were recovered.
that sticker was good!
The straw has to be one of favourite of all times!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦
0:48 Literally "I tell ya what wrong wit it. Ain't got no gas in it."
Thank you LORD for North Carolina mandating yearly vehicle inspections.
Watching car shop videos had made me confident enough to determine my car not starting was just an old battery and that I could replace it myself.
I also tried the 10mm socket first as a joke, and it was indeed the correct one. :D
Another gem thanks for sharing. After a very long life around cars and bikes it still amazes me that there are still so many people without the simplest clue about the vehicles they own and drive. Even misdiagnosing the most basic problems you really have to question how are they still getting away with driving on a licence out of a Corn Flakes box. 😂🤣😂
1:26 - Unbelieveable, how brave these tires were, not to blow up. That guy is so lucky
How they even hold air is beyond me.
luckily they were made in china and not the middle east.
that sticker seems like a prank by his friends. that is one of the best pranks. find a sticker that says something and place it somewhere hidden that they may not find for a while. but when they do, the reaction is hilarious.
it was a prank. if you click on show more there is always a full list of comments for each video from the maker.
A good reason to change your own oil
The inability of people to take even a cursory glance at the problem before taking the car in is mind-blowing! Case in point; the straw in the door hinge.
Always a treat when these videos are posted😀
these clips are outstanding and hilarious
... and scary because we share the roads with these idiots...!
The “Starry Night” VW bus is beautiful. Very nicely done. 🙂👍

2:12 I used to always see a Toyota Yaris (2nd gen) parked at my local Wal-mart that looked a lot like this - booster seat included. I assumed it was someone who worked there. I was tempted to put a note on the windshield saying something to the effect of "please tell me you don't transport a kid in this dumpster on wheels".
I love your content! My brother and I bond over watching your videos together. Keep up the great work!
Glad to hear. Thanks for watching guys!
Would be nice to have a brother like that!
This is rapidly becoming my favorite channel.
They never fail to amuse and terrify at the same time.
I watch these videos and all I do is pray.
With these people on the road I pray for anyone that might be driving next to them.
Years ago I drove a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe from Alberta Canada all the way along the coast to California. The car was fine when I left and started to vibrate at an increasing rate as I drove along. When I got to Oregon I stopped at a Les Schwab tire place to get it checked out, because I couldn't find anything wrong and had minimal tools with me. There were two tennis ball sized lumps on the inside of the RR tire. I ended up getting all four replaced because they were getting worn and it was about half the price I'd pay at home. They even gave me a discount because I wouldn't be able to ever use their warranty! Looking back, I shudder to think about all the cliff side roads I drove along with that tire like that.
great content as always, have a great week my friend!
Thank you! Have a great week as well 👍
"No one knows im gay" had me cracking up lol
Wow! I am glad the guy under the truck was smart enough to lay still. Maybe next time he will be smart enough to put something behind his wheels to stop it from moving in the first place. LOL
I don't understand how people can not notice that their car/truck is out of gas, the warning is literally right there in front of you😮💨
In the shop I used to work at we saw several cars like this each year. And we always had a jug of gas on hand for diagnostic purposes on cars which showed less than 1/8 tank on the gauge. I've "fixed" two cars that way myself.
Especially with modern cars. Old cars just have the fuel light, but modern cars have big warnings come up on the screens and make noises at you and carry on. If they're missing something that obvious, what else are they going to miss?
@@KarlEller My Ford Focus ST gives a warning at 50 miles, 25 miles, etc, you can't miss it
It's like they don't even pay attention to anything on the dash anymore. I vaguely recall running out of gas once but I was driving an 80s Chevy truck around on my grandfather's ranch when I was younger and found out the gas gauge doesn't function properly. Half a tank is considered empty on a C10 apparently 😂
0:38 That silly straw problem. These are the issues mechanics get to see. But I'm sure there are plenty more in people's houses and strange remedies these no-so-smart people will eventually found.
About 30 years ago I had a lady bring a car into the shop for what sounded like " a bowling ball rolling around in the trunk" sound when turning. Sure enough when I opened the trunk I found a bowling ball rolling around.
Good examples of first-world problems!
@@chrisleggett685 😀 When I was halfway reading your comment, I thought it would be funny if it was indeed a bowling ball....
Reminds me of the time I found a pen that somehow fell into the back part of my mom printer, making it so the paper would not feed through. She was going to go by a new printer when I found that pen.
And here I felt silly for not being able to find the tmps settings on my 2020 Honda Fit (admittedly it was different than most other 2020 Honda models) but when your car is *literally* telling you the problem and you still can't figure out the very simple fix...
Again thumbs 👍 up before watching... as a retired mechanic.... UNBELIEVABLE
You’re my new favorite channel!! 👍
Glad to hear!!
While I'm amazed at the folks who don't know how to check oil, tires, etc or just don't, it happens. Plenty of places (manual, Google, friends) to learn better, but some folks just don't know how to learn.
Other times, it's just "lucky idiot" time even for those who know better, like me. I was just going to look under a friend's Pinto for a moment in the dorm parking lot, so we used the scissor jack . . . on a slight grade . . . and I was glad it wasn't a "low" car when it fell off and knocked the wind out of me. Always chock at least two wheels and always use a jack stand even if you use a hydraulic brake!
Years later we live at the top of a hill and I've been paranoid every time we jacked a car up. We eventually got a QuickJack and I panicked a minute the first time we did brakes/tires and I realized it wasn't chocked. Then I realized the QJ meant it wasn't possible to roll off the jack(s) and laughed about it for about 5 minutes.
The 1st thing my father taught me when I was young, when working on cars in the driveway, is to chock the back wheels.
Truly never ceased to be amazed by your clip videos. I’m not a mechanic but equally I am
Not stupid. Keep them going
Wow. That was quick thinking and cool nerves to just lay there, even with the ground effects scraping over you. Could have been a lot worse.
Of course, despite the goof, I imagine that he felt pretty good and his gf was worked up and had fun later (I dont know...Im just in a happy mood. You will see next video LOL.)
I hate working on cars, hate hate it. I’m a hvac guy, but watching these videos I feel like a journeyman mechanic.
"random dude who thinks they're a journeyman mechanic" is how we get a lot of these clips, so it fits
Working on oil change without wheel chocks nor jack stand. Just brilliant!
That last one was CrAzY. Lucky guy.
You should make a new channel for clips like the last one. Just Rolled Away.
I got a 2nd channel called Just Rolled Out where I'm posting other clips and such on. Just rolled away is a good name though lol
@@JustRolledIn oh my gosh I thought it was a copycat channel so I was avoiding it now I feel dumb
@@arc00ta lol there is some copycat channels from what I've been told but that one is me. Thanks for caring though 😊
I'm one of those customers but with a Mountain bike haha
That last one reminds me of why I always make sure the vehicle is secured when under it.
Have you ever witnessed a guy watch his life flash in front of his eyes? That last guy under his truck got a glimpse.
Your getting some good ones. 👍 👍
How can ppl be so irresponsible and drive those broken piles of junk on public roads, bringing other ppl in danger. 🤯🤦♂️😬
Because you can finance a car purchase, but not the maintenance.

You also can't finance brain, character and intelligence. 🤪
Ooh, that's a sweet VW single cab at the end! I always wanted one, but now they're way too expensive.
That was a great episode way to go guys nice to get to see that after work can't wait for the next one👍😉😎
In today's video we'll learn why you should check your tires regularly, get proper spacers for your wheels if you need 'em, keep your interior clean, and to always chock your wheels!
And the most crucial: learn how to read so you can understand what your freaking dashboard is trying to say to you
the zero fan shroud is not helping the over heat problems either
And isn't the fan spinning in the wrong direction?
It did have the fan shroud the technician just had removed parts while he was diagnosing the problem
lmao the washers as well spacers holy shit.
0:06 Muriel! My sweet Muriel, The truck is overheating!”
I’m finally on time…. Took me long enough 🙄 hope all is well!
No complaints. Hope all is well on your end also!!
@@JustRolledIn yes it is! Blessed every day above ground.
I’m glad that you’re telling us non-petrolheads what is wrong with the vehicle. That one full of food is truly disgusting. Surely it’s common courtesy to at least clean it up before you take it to a garage to have work done on it. Yuk 🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮!!!!!
Makes you wonder what their filthy homes are like!
There's one in almost every video, yecch.
It's okay as long as you leave a chicken sandwich for the tech! (From a previous video.)
@@j_taylor Providing it’s fresh, of course. That food was several days, if not weeks, old.
Or when the trash in the car is preventing you from opening the door in the first place.
The last one with the runaway truck was surly hilariously different. I would expect that at a quick lube place.
The runaway trucks are funny and I’ve seen my fair share of mistake but nothing makes my day like a customer bringing in his own parts after diagnosing it himself and it failing 🤣
everyone in this video should have their driving license revoked except the 208 guy.
He's probably 208 years old.
Well, he *DID* buy a French car...
Chock blocks or even hitting the parking brake definitely would've kept ol truck from rolling out
Lol. Lift kits save lives! That was one lucky guy 🤣
0:48 Ain't got no gas in it!
Just what the doctor ordered
OH GOD that guy working on his truck is lucky it didn't roll over him, I'm sure that wouldn't end well for him. QUick thinking to rotate himself under it as it rolled away.
Love this chan. Always get a laugh how some people try to the work on their car and then have bring it to the shop to fix their screw up. Back yard mechanics.
That stealth sticker under the Ram was masterful 😂
3 transmission failures in 6500 miles? Eh, it's French, so it was probably designed to do that
My GF had a French car (10 years back) which stalled it's engine in corners. No mechanic could fix it. It also had the horn as a button on the tip end of the windscreen wiper controller. I loathed the car.
Love the pic of the Golden in the Porsche at the end. That owner will NEVER get all the dog hair out of their car, LOL!
I had a Golden so I know that is a fact!
Back in the 90's my buddy was under his 84 Camaro on a sloped driveway. It rolled backwards over the rock he had placed under the rear tire, over his legs he had under the front tire while changing it. It rolled out the driveway, onto the road and down his neighbors driveway, smashed into the garage door, hitting the Impala parked inside, hitting the opposite wall, pushing his bedroom wall in about 4 inches.
lol the 208 sounded like it was screaming
