0:00 Intro
0:05 Customers tire falls apart two days after they were installed.
The technician said: "Customer states this happened a couple days after I changed their tires to winters but I changed their winter tires in October 2021 this came into the shop in January of 2022."
0:20 Customer services transmission.
The technician said the customer drove too long with no transmission fluid and will require a new transmission and a coolant flush.
The customer added around 4 quarts / 3.7 litres of ATF to the coolant reversoir.
0:38 Pumpkin under the passenger seat.
The technician said this happened in winter, and the pumpkin didn't start to "leak" until it was a warmer day. He cleaned up the mess and replaced the AMP fuse and it fixed the issue. He also mentioned he saw a child seat in the back so he thinks maybe a child was playing with it and it rolled underneath the seat and was left there for a while.
1:01 Falcon hit windshield.
No extra info.
1:13 Customer states slight vibration at highway speeds.
This was on a VW Jetta. This is mostly caused by driving on a flat tire, then filling it up afterward and continuing to drive on the tire.
The tire will need to be replaced.
1:23 Rear differential but now needs a transfer case.
The technician said it was on a Land Rover and said It had internal damage it was in the shop in February with a loud roaring noise.
I think that since the customer was driving with a bad rear differential damaged the transfer case.
1:36 Floor jack broke rear differential of BMW.
The technician said it's a cast aluminum rear differential. He also mentioned that the owner has no way to prove that the other shop did it, so he's paying $5000 to get a brand new one installed (parts + labor).
1:46 BMW with no serpentine belt.
The technician was surprised that the customer never mentioned anything as the battery light was on and the car was "screaming" at them with warning lights.
1:59 Welded lower control arm.
The customer later told the shop that he hit a curb, and had a buddy weld his lower control arm until he could afford to get new parts installed.
2:13 Washer fluid sprays on the floor.
The technician said the customer came in because the washer fluid wasn't spraying on the back window but didn't mention anything about this. This is usually caused by the washer hose breaking somewhere in the interior since it runs from the washer fluid reservoir all the way to the back window. I've also seen rodents somehow getting their way behind panels and eating the washer hose.
2:19 Broken wiring harness on Genesis.
The technician said this pays 9 hours (warranty). He said you don't repair the harness as the manufacturer highly recommends not to repair CAN lines (controller area network). A Controller Area Network (CAN bus) is a robust vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other's applications without a host computer.
2:39 Never seen a tire like this before.
The viewer who shared this said he removed this off of a 1986 Chevy. If you know what caused this, please let us know in the comments.
2:50 Final Jeep update (I promise).
The technician said it also still needs a little bit of bodywork on the front.

@@JustRolledIn well ok this episode was a shocker, not lol just seems customers getting dumber by the day.
I need to know more about that 18K jeep repair, please !
@@DylanFahey if you look at a couple comments above you, I posted some links to the other videos I talked about it. But the customer went off roading and had a couple of inches of water inside, then afterwards it wouldn't start. Insurance paid for the repairs.
I'm still in shock over the one person with enough sense to approve repairs
Better to hurt your bank account temporarily than get yourself hurt/killed.
Savings can go back up when depleted, but not one's life.
@@yongling9825 you missing his point. I agree with you and can assume so does the OP. We rarely hear the customer agreeing though.
@@ftniceberg874 I'm also surprised to hear the customer approving the necessary repairs for the first time on this channel.
That $18K one sounds like the customer was made of money.
Looked like a safe weld to me.😱
I never thought I'd see a dealership put a market adjustment on a vehicle that was more than the msrp of said vehicle.
I can’t believe people are buying it. I don’t even fault the dealers. I would make an extra $40k if I could too.
I haven’t seen that much, but I believe it. I paid 4 k extra for a sienna van I bought my daughter, a year and a half later they want to give me about what I paid with taxes.
Anyone that foolish to pay it deserves to get ripped off.
@@justayoutuber1906 some people feel they have no choice. Everyone wants a car but none are available which is jacking up the prices. And people know if they don't buy the car they want right away, someone else will steal it out from under them and now they're forced to pay even more money for the same car at a different dealership. It's insane.
Can anyone explain market adjustment to me please? I'm guessing this is a North American thing?
I just bought a car (used) yesterday. 2009 Hyundai Elantra with 69k original miles and I got it cheap. The car was a, 'grandma's car' and in pristine condition except for one thing- It drove fine on a smooth road but made horrible knocking sounds anytime the road was anything but perfect smooth. I found the real problem after driving it about 50 miles and got under the car to get an idea of what was going on. Apparently, Grandma drove over a tree branch and didn't tell anyone but just sold the car to avoid embarrassment. The 1 to 1 1/2 inch think branch was wrapped amongst the rear suspension. I removed the branch and she drives just fine now. Sorry I don't have pics or a video (it happened on the side of the road), but it's a good story anywho.
I saw that on your page! Glad to hear it was a super easy fix and hope the new car lasts for a while. But next time I'll be expecting a video 😉
My parents went to the mechanic for a strange knocking sound when at high speed. It was a branch.
Great! Now, sell it before it catches fire and burns down your garage.,..😎
Recently, a woman(stranger) next to me was backing out her new(used) Prius and it made a horrible noise. I looked underneath with a flashlight and it looked like a bunch of wires taped together. Sent a picture of it to my friend who owned 2 Prius. He said, "That looks like a branch". Sure enough it *was* a branch with FIVE 1/2 inch limbs attached to the underside. I pulled it out and off she went.
Nice
But maybe next time you should look under a car before you buy it.
Also, if you're finding these ridiculous "market adjustments" take a picture of them, and then send it to the manufacturer's customer support department. Ford and GM have SPECIFICALLY warned dealerships NOT to do this as it's price gouging and it effects the brand when the dealer is merely a franchise. Dealers doing this can face severe sanctions from the manufacturer including fines, loss of allocation or even being removed from the brand entirely. They're NOT playing around with this.
I couldn't believe when I first saw the market adjustments on vehicles.
When covid started closing businesses and they were allowed to slowly open, one shop took appointments with a $50 non refundable deposit. I don't shop there anymore.
This is only true for some manufacturers, not all. Still, if you have time to burn, can't hurt to call in and complain.
The Ford dealer I normally deal with has ZERO cars to sell. None. They're struggling. AFAIC, if someone wants to pay 40K more for a Lightning that sticker, they're welcome. I'll buy one when the market catches up and I can buy a year old 15K mile Lightning for 20K off list, or I won't own one.
@@corvettebob96 Stealerships would sell their own mothers, or sell their own mothers a bad vehicle.
@@ohger1 Got new-car dealers lots still full of other makes; their own are few and far between it appears.
Customer agreed to all repairs? That's a new one!
Have to share the odd victory with you guys 😂😆
We have reached end times.
On a lot of these, i assume the customer denies repairs because they are gonna scrap it.

@@liamholcroft7212 Or just can't afford the bill.
I love the sidewall bulge in the tire.
"It's not a tumor."
No, it's an aneurysm, and just like an aneurysm, when it blows, that tire's dead.
Was I meant to hear that in Ah-nuld?
@SaltyBrains Well I'm glad someone else got the joke.
I'll be back....come with me if you want to live
I thought there was a sausage in the tire
Pretty sure Ford was busting dealer's chops for those market adjustments. Submitter simply needs to send the pic to Ford. It might not fix that sale but the dealer will have issues
Just as a rule of thumb: If your car starts making a new noise, moves weird or smells suspiciously, stop immediatly and at least inspect if you can see something obviously wrong with the car, like leaking fluid on the ground or it has parts like the wheels not sitting where they should on the car...
Even the smallest strange whistle can become a VERY expensive boom if you aren't careful!
Common sense is lacking from most people these days.
I was searching for a parking space in a tight squeeze industrial estate, I heard a massive Thud and then the sound of something rolling to a stop.. But it was quite a weird sound to our ears..
I feared the worst, my wife on the other hand feared where we were and didn't wanna stop.. But I made her..
The damage??? My reputation.. It seems she rolled over a carton of orange juice, and what we heard was the lid popping off and firing itself into the plastic guard under the engine and it rolling/bouncing and coming to rest..
Though, I still maintain it was good to stop, even if it were in a stretchy area, because we had NO idea what the hell that was..
Yep. That's why I keep an inspection mirror. If my car makes a new noise, I look for the problem myself, and then if it's something I can't fix, into the shop it goes. (I save a few bucks on diagnosis fees if I can spot the problem before taking it to the shop.) If I can't find the source of the noise, into the shop it goes. Something that I learned a long time ago: If you're not willing to spend a little money up front on maintenance, you're going to spend a LOT of money later.
Naw.... just drive it!
Eventually the noise or whatever, will stop. Or just get too loud.
That is where, Just Rolled In, comes in to play!
And he can post more great stuff!
I read this twice and have no idea what you said. My car started making noise after i changed the alternator. After 2 weeks the pulley broke off the water pump. Had it towed home. Changed it myself. It was an all day job and i wouldn't volunteer to do it until i had to. So i ignored the noise. Besides, without removing the engine yoke you could not tell which pulley it was.
Customer: "So I did some work on my car and..."
Mechanic: "Here we go..."
My buddy has a garage, and I've had a running gag with him for 30 years: "Hey, remember when you serviced my wife's SUV transmission two years ago? Well, now the CD in my pickup skips. Any connection to what you did?"
@@ohger1 Good one!
I think the Mechanic thinks, "Oh God!" then, here we go.😁
An off-road vehicle with a shoe cleaner option, why hadn’t they ever thought of that before?!
It's not broken, it's a feature.
@Anony Mouse Plus adds 20HP as well!
0:25 yes that is a very common error , everybody drains the transmission and then mistakenly fills the coolant tank with transmission fluid! LOL
I love when stuff like this happens. Just wish I could see the owners face when he realized how much it’s going to cost him
The coolant in engine episode was also nuts
I've seen people drain their transmission instead of their engine when doing an oil change, and topping up their engine and it now being overfilled but this was a new one lol
@@JustRolledIn Yeah one of our apprentices did that on an Audi. Think he totaled the transmission and blew a bunch of seals, can't remember what the final bill was but it was a big one. Sales car fortunately not a customer vehicle. Amazingly he didn't get fired for that but he didn't last.
Don't some cars share the fluid between the brake and transmission? (Honda?) On the Cruze, the coolant reservoir is located by the master cylinder. There's no dipstick for the transmission. It's a higher-up fill hole on the side of transmission itself. You fill it like a differential - keep adding until it comes out. The customer didn't know there wasn't a way to fill the transmission from under the hood.
So I used to work as a BMW mechanic.
This video series makes me feel better.
It's like I am not alone with crazy costumers.
You got some of the worst customers; over-entitled Karens and Kevins bringing their over-priced vehicles in for service and repair. (But I'll bet you had a few bimbo hotties in there as well; it's a dirty, thankless job, but.....😍)
to be fair, there are some crazy mechanics too.
@@Michael-mv3bi Oh, I am certain there are crazy mechanics out there. I met one a few months ago that I think needs some company in his one-person shop; guy talked to me about cars for like an hour when I picked mine up. Luckily I had time to talk with him; he might have gone over the edge if I hadn't. :)
I worked at an auto parts store for 30 years, and would get my share of BMW owners in there. Some of them were so vein...They had no problem spending $200.00 on cleaning products, but would scream bloody murder when they found out they couldn't use the cheapest house-brand oil and lowest-price-example oil filter on their car.
@@tempest411 bahahaha that is soo bmw owners to a tee. a very strange breed of ppl they are.
When I was much younger I worked at a Goodyear store as a tire tech. I cant even count how many General brand tires in 5 years that separated exactly like this. We used to joke how General must be looking for repeat business it happened so often. You do get credit for remaining tread depth when this happens.
Same only with Firestone tires. At the Ford dealer, I would get a car for vibration, and the factory balance was 6 or 8 ounces. I rebalance it an now it needs 10. Clearly bad tires, often more than one. But back then, dealers didn't handle tire warranty. I would have to send the customer to a Firestone dealer. Of course they would say the problem is not the tire, go back to Ford. So the customer was suck between the Ford dealer, and the Firestone dealer.
im a tire fitter from australia, and we have some brands here that are abhorrant. mostly chinese brands but id only ever seen separation on retreaded tires, untill we started getting cheap imported tire and once a month i see new tires suffering separation. crazy how these are allowed to be sold.
@@Michael-mv3bi here in germany we can get those cheapo chinese tyres as well, usually across the internet. some auto club tested many of them. most are like, "perfect on dry road, worse than soap once there is a drop of water" many of these companies must not care for repeat customers.
@@lotharrenz4621 lol@repeat customers. yes, the world is a funny place when quality and safety in this day and age is just not a thing. the world seems to be rolling backwards.
I.know for a fact that general tire builders made 40 to 50 an hour and about every couple years go on strike wanting more
I was once driving home in my work van when it started shaking like a wheel was about to come off. I pulled over expecting to find a flat tire or something but everything looked good. After limping home my mechanic neighbor came over and we eventually found the problem, one of the tires had internally separated from the wire causing it to become out of round. It looked perfectly ok with lots of tread still on it but would not spin straight, replaced the tire and it drove perfect again
yep I had that problem tires looked brand new in tread ,, I must have got a pot hole at some time bulge in the tread about 3 inches ..still have the tire .. left it by the house by the road edge no one stole it .. have to make a trip to the tire center and pay for them to take it ..
Finally, a sensible person
New one to me, I'll have to keep it in mind, thanks.
I always make sure to keep a fresh pumpkin on my amp to keep it running at peak performance
Rotting food and other garbage , including Mcdonalds fries that dont decay for some odd reason , is something mechanics have to contend with from time to time in a customers vehicle . You can often tell how a person lives by what the inside of their car looks like , if the inside of the car or truck is a pig pen then the inside of the house is not far behind ..
My car and work truck always look neat. You should see my house! Oh yeah, and it's contend not attend.
ehh my work truck is a mess my house on the other hand is really tidy, company doesn't pay me to vacuum and wash the truck and im sure as hell not gonna pay outta pocket for it plus im usually in the mudd and dirt for services on truck tires
I've worked in car rental for 13 years and man, you never know who those slobs are, either. They come in all walks of life, all races and nationalities. Your ordinary looking neighbor might be that guy who left a caramel apple in a plastic bag stuffed down a seat crack until it fermented. Or the guy who straight-up broke a sun visor right off the frame in a fit of rage.
@@annehaight9963 Working in the customer service industry be it mechanic shops , car rental shops and anyone answering a phone has seen and heard first hand the diverse nature of the human species . The ones you would think would know better are always the ones who will surprise you . Thats why at the end of the day i want to go home and be left alone with just my thoughts ..
In my youth, I worked at an east coast gas station chain. The manager's manual recommended looking at an applicant's car as the best indicator of their potential. How they treat their car is how they'll treat your store.
Oh man, that tire baby at 1:14 still gives me the shivers.
I lent my car to UK friends who were visiting to do the great US road trip. There was a very slight vibration in the steering, but I couldn't find anything wrong, so I assumed it was just wheel balance. I never checked on the inside of the tire. Didn't know that was a thing.
By the time they brought it back it was shaking all over the place, and the inboard side of the tire looked just like that. They were *this* close to a blowout.
I already had to get cut out of a car with this kid once, and her right leg is more titanium than bone. Because of bad tires on a wet road. Would have been devastated if it happened again.
Leaking rotting pumpkin under the passenger's seat. 🤮 I can't imagine the funk that must've emitted.
I've been looking for a new car for a few months. The market adjustments some dealerships are asking for is criminal.
they can keep their plastic tin cans
The lockdowns that caused the shortages are the real crime. If they didn't jack up the price, the lots would just be empty, and scalpers would buy and resell them.
My wife bought a couple of pumpkins for Halloween, forgot about them and left them in the trunk of her Hyundai until they had basically turned into juice. Even after washing the carpets multiple times it made me gag every time I got in the car.
@@Br3ttM Well, it's still in effect with lockdowns in China. I got a delivery notice of 200+ days on a network switch for work the other day. Demand exceeds ability to deliver.
Talk about punked-out...
"Market Adjustment"
When the dealer feels that sticker price JUST isn't a big enough middle finger.....
"Market Adjustment" in this current day of age to me is "Dead on arrival."
Thats criminal how insane the market adjustments are!
I bought a brand new Dodge Caravan that only had 16 miles on it. Took it on a trip. The rear driver side tire blew out. The entire side walled had broken loose from the rest of the tire. I took it back to the dealer and to get a new tire. They said my warranty didnt cover tires so it was a no go on a new tire. I showed the tire to the dealer mechanic and he said wow that shouldn't happen. 15 minutes later I rolled out with a brand new tire on.
Sidewall failure usually happens when you hit something while driving. Rarely, it can be the result of a manufacturer defect. Warranties typically do not cover tires, so they probably gave you a new one as a goodwill gesture.
@@annehaight9963 it didnt just fail. It literally looked like it had been cut right from the tire.
@@leedog396
That's kind of how they look when they blow, though. It's because of how the tire is put together.
2:15 , oh cool! I did not know that Jeep offered a foot wash option! LOL
😆 it's a feature, not a fault.
Or a bidet
You didn’t? It’s standard nowadays as they get stuck in 2” of mud because the traction control won’t let you spin so you’ll have to get out and push.
@@ThatGuy-sd3zl Wouldn't that be a "No Traction-Control"??
After seeing the work customers did to their vehicles in this video and past videos, the old saying "If You Want Something Done Right, Do It Yourself" just went out the window.
Then there are the ones like the jacked up cracked diff, done by a _'professional'..._
@@NemoConsequentae Hopefully done by "The new guy". If this is standard practice there are likely a lot more damaged cars that don't show problems until later and the driver just assumes they hit something.
It tends to help if one actually knows what one is doing. 🙂
I stopped going to service centers because anything they fixed, I had to fix to make it right. Except now with newer cars CAN bus that's out the window. My newest vehicle is 2008.
That saying only applies if you know how to do it yourself!There are factors to this!
3:20 - Aw yeah, a Suzuki Sidekick... I had a '94 Geo Tracker, not a lot of power, but it would go literally anywhere I asked it to. Fun fact: A full set of Warn locking hubs cost $80 (in 2001), while the OEM aluminum ones cost $350 EACH.
Sometimes it make sense to have a professional do the work!
$18,000.00; And sometimes it's better just to sell the car in parts...
And then check it yourself to make sure they did it professionally!
@T.J. Kong "So Called" 👍
@@NemoConsequentae Absolutely 👍
I’m lucky enough to have a repair shop that lets me watch & ask questions.
Or I’ll find 1 that does.
Always fun to guess how many customers lied before watching.
At this stage I just assume "another shop worked on it" means "I tried to do it and ballsed it up" 😂
@@KarlEller _"Where'd_ they find this 'other shop' at, _Craigslist?_ And then they can't tell you where he lives, or his number!"
Market adjustment: On a dealer's floor there was a car with a sub-sticker listing undercoating, paint protection, and...."Additional Dealer Profit" of $500. At least they were up front about it!
I've heard of Smashing Pumpkins the band shorting out an amp, never heard of Rotten Pumpkins doing the same.
What makes me more angry than market adjustments is when shady used car lots charge 5k for something that would've gone for 500 before the pandemic. See it happening way too often
It's not shady to respond to supply and demand. It's not like the dealers are artificially reducing the number of cars, that was the fault of the lockdowns.
I worked for one of those shops back in 2008. You could buy an '84 Ford F-150 2WD 4-speed manual, or an '89 Honda Accord 5-speed for $500 down/$50 week - $3,200 buy-here, cry-here. The only cars we could actually sell were mid-90s Caravans/Voyagers. We also had an '87 Caprice Classic 4.3L that nobody wanted to pay $3,200 for. lol
A CC for more than 150 bucks lmao
We ordered a Bronco back in February, still waiting on a build date BTW. The dealer is charging us MSRP, no negotiating at all and told us if we back out it’s no biggie, he’ll just tack it up another 10k and it’ll still sell in a week. Are people just plain stupid nowadays?
Yep plain stupid, & that’s being polite
Yes
So you are buying a gas bronco? I saw 3 or 4 of those at a ford dealer innWickenberg AZ . The ev models for ford … there were none I saw on that lot . I’m not trying to bug a new vehicle but it’s what I noticed at one dealer anywaysv
It blows my mind seeing that people are waiting on Broncos. Here in NE Arkansas, they seem to be all over
I remember when nobody had to pay MSRP, MSRP was the starting point and even without negotiating it always went down from the start.
Love the shoe wash option on the Jeep. Great idea to wash your boots off there.
To be real good then there should be a boot brush as well
Expect to see the new boot washer/floor cleaner option on future off-road vehicles. Maybe as part of a branded cross promotion with a custom floor mat company.
I love that welded control arm...just crazy. That tire that was down to the chords and the two that were bulged...have they no clue how dangerous that is...like come on.
You think that's bad. One of our employees that was there before me jacked up our large Sprinter Van with the front suspension and cracked it in 2 places and apparently never said a thing. The guy who was driving it never understood why he was going through front tires so much until I pointed out to him. Amazingly the front wheels stayed connected . What's even more stupid is my boss had it welded back together and not replaced🤦♂️ he's literally that cheap
Yeah i had a laugh at that control arm, bet the guy that did it was proud as punch at his "repair job" :-))
Licensed Canadian welder chiming it is absolutely illegal in Canada to do that
@@wes5748 Same in NZ, that car would not pass its yearly safety inspection, and so be illegal to drive on the roads. And frankly, why would you want to with such a dodgy repair :-))
I had a customer once that I happened to notice his car's tires were frayed down to the belts, with the fine wires sticking out. I emphasized that he needed to fix that IMMEDIATELY and told him a couple of nearby shops he could go to. He honestly had no clue.
Dealers gouging and calling it 'market adjustments' deserve a big "FU" and middle finger. They're doing what they're able to get away with.
Easy to deal with; just don't ever buy from them again.
@@MrTruckerf Better idea: Apparently Ford and GM will hound them for doing that, so if you spot any of their vehicles with "Market Adjustments" take a picture and send it to them with the all the other info they require
2:16 - I actually have that happening in my car although it's spray over the front tyre. I suspect the washer line was damaged when the shop replaced some springs but I'm not sure. It's going to get fixed next month mostly because I'm moving house this month!
Make sure you tip your movers if you arent doing it urself! Also make sure they have water or drinks!!
@@rust8infinite "Wherdya want the :HIC!: couch, Mister?" (NO, not THOSE kind of drinks!)
@@rust8infinite Already planned! There will be drinks at both ends - houses that is!
Judging by the blue inlays on the seats of that wrangler it was a 4xe (the hybrid model), so they probably flooded the battery. The shop I work at changed one under warranty and I think the battery alone was like 10-16k. Can't remember for sure but I know the battery was into the 5 digit mark
"Market Adjustment" Translation: We see demand is really high for these vehicles so to get as much money as we can from it we jacked up the pricing even tho it costs is pennies to buy from the manufacturer.
Thanks again for the 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. The car owners never ceases to amaze me. Keep’m coming
The rotting pumpkin would have been my obvious first guess 🤣👍🏼👊🏼🦖🍺
Oh, Please! The "rotting pumkin causing a short" is so cliche!
I found avocados in that area when cleaning. Completely dried up / no flesh inside the empty shell

Awesome as ever dude 👌
To be fair, if that auto trans has a built-in oil cooler in the radiator, and the owner has followed the pipes from the trans to the rad they could almost be forgiven they were filling the trans fluid in the header tank...... Almost...Almost!! 🤣🤣 Nope I lied.. They shouldn't be allowed anywhere near vehicles!! 🤣
Have a great week bud 👍
😆😆 you have a great week as well man! Take it easy.
On the first one 0:15 I would like to see the date code on that old snow tire!
For sure! Funny how it happened two days after but took them 4 months to come back 😜
@@JustRolledIn when you think you have a customer that would pull that type of thing ,, take a paint stick mark the rim on the back side and put a mark on the sidewall of the tire ,, take a picture ,, like the junk yards mark there parts ..they come back and the rim has paint but the tire don't ..
🤣🤣🤣 were they from 1995 ?

Market adjustments are the reason why I'm anti-dealers. One day I'll order a car through Amazon lol
Lol that will be the future probably.
Market adjustments are a result of dealers responding to the stupidity of customers who are willing to pay anything to get the newest toy.
Amazon sellers and car manufacturers who don’t have traditional dealers (i.e. Tesla) do the same thing. The price of the Model 3 has gone up $10,000 in the past year.
According to Luck Lopez channel, it will be going away real soon. The shortage was a combination of supply chain issues and stimulus mad money. The supply chain is doing much better and the mad money is gone. There's a big uptick in repos. There's a glut of cars for sale. Prices will be falling.
@@russellhltn1396 Closing down all the factories for months is a bit more than just "supply chain issues". I guess supply issues did prevent them from making up for that, with parts not coming from China since their lockdowns were even worse.
amazon would find a way to put the car at the front door so you cant open it. they seem to like doing that with large packages.

Guys ... you would love an anual safety inspection here in EU , just to give you an hint a few years ago my Nissan just failed because the headlights were dirty and one of the front wheels had the camber dis-aligned by 0.3º. It's was solved with a quick trip to a washing machine , a tire house and 20€ to repeat the inspection. You can still use the car because none of the flaws would endanger other drivers or pedestrians but you receive a red stamp and have 30 days to reappear with all the problems solved. So you must imagine how funny would be if some of the cars i see here just come for an anual inspection with the two mechanics that every year spend 20 minutes poking around my car with a poker face.
Where I'm from, vehicles are only ever inspected when the title is transferred. The inspection basically consists of looking at the car to see if it's visibly broken (as in just been hit by a train), and testing the horn.
yeah well we also like not living in a goddamn orwellian nanny-state over here, so there's that

But nvm, have a good one.
That is interesting, in New Zealand there is no fee for a re-inspection within 28days. However you cannot legally drive it except to get repairs completed or to take it back for re-inspection. Non-safety related issues like wheel alignment are not part of the process though. As much as I hate paying for this annually, when I see what is on this channel, I am glad that the authorities keep the worst of the death traps off the road as they are able. I know people who will run tyres as bare as they can until the next inspection is due, I will replace when, or before, necessary.
Market adjustments should be illegal and businesses who do so should be taxed heavily and be blasted on every review site possible, SCUM! DEALERS ARE SCUM!
2:39 I've seen many old Michelins do that to various extents when they come off.

Well on the plus side they're gonna have the cleanest cooling system ever thanks to that ATF flush. And just draining the pan still leaves quite a bit of trans fluid in the system so if they're lucky they might not have killed it.

Good video as always. The one spare tire with the side walls that would come out isn't that uncommon. Michelin tires used to do that, I don't know if they still do but they did when I worked for a tire shop back in the day.

That one tire was in the Battle of the Bulge. I think it lost...
The spare tyre at 2:43 looks like the space saver used in some Audis and the VW Touareg.
It is stored deflated and you inflate it using a compressor or the air suspension.
Seen it used on mercedes too.

I would so that I could load it on a trailer to take to a repair shop but correct gussets and plate it would be a good repair ..

@2:43 The folks at "Pit Crew Tire" must all still worry about pimples 😛 That tire is perfectly normal. It is the original "Space Saver" spare which was developed by Goodyear for the 1967 Pontiac Firebird after company president John Z. DeLorean (yes THAT DeLorean) thought a full size spare didn't leave enough luggage space in the trunk 😎Buncha younguns don't know diddly 🤣

And in this bizzare world we live in, apart from car prices, nothing has changed about ignorant owners. You'd think they'd take better care of their cars now they're suddenly so valuable, but nope, that would require commonsense, hell, ANY sense!
That AT fluid in the coolant is baffling. They knew enough to drain it(or possibly filter and gasket replaced) but then filled the resevoir? Did one person start the job and another finish it?
Probably one of those dipstick-less transmissions, where you fill/check from a bung on the side like a manual transmission does.
i bought a new radiator and put in my car because the old one leaked a little antifreeze arout the cap and the new one had a fqctory defect mixing the trans fluid with the antifreeze....nothing made worth anything these days.
it filled my trans with antifreeze too...ruined all my trans fluid ...had to replace the new radiator and drain the trans and torque converter and replace the fluid....but it worked good after that.....wouldnt pukk at all when it was full of antifreeze,,,,had to flush the engine and heater core and refill that with new antifreeze....all because of a factory defected radiator.

THIS HELPS SO MANY!! 😊☺☺👍👍👍
Cannot wait for these “market adjustment” dealers that expect a Gov’t bailout next year.
The funny looking spare tire at the end is actually supposed to be like that. My ex's old Pontiac had a spare like that. The rim had two valve stems and when it was deflated it folded in on itself to save space in the spare tire well but when you inflated it on the rim it became the same size as the regular tires.
Interesting! The more you know. Thanks for sharing.
Umm, what good is a deflated/flat spare..& why two valve stems?
@@brianstratton8767 , seems like a stupid idea now but I think back then they were just trying to find a way to make a more compact spare. This was before they started making near-spares/donut tires and the rim was regular size. Yes you would be expected to carry an air compressor but back in the 70-80's it was a lot more common for people to actually carry tools and equipment in the trunk. As for the two valve stems I can only assume it was to deflate the spare faster. Luckily I never had to try using it because it wasn't the most reassuring looking thing. The factory tires were 13's or 14's and cheap to buy so it always had good tires on it. In case you're interested it was a 1980 Pontiac Sunbird, the body and interior were shit and the door windows shattered if you slammed the doors (that's why they were both plexiglass) but that thing just wouldn't stop running. It had a carbureted 4 cyl (I don't remember what size) with a turbo 250 transmission and after I rebuilt the carb. we drove that thing back and forth from Houston to Austin packed with our kids 5-10 times a year to visit family until I bought her a '91 F150 and dropped a rebuilt engine in it a couple years later.
@@jessezass Ahh, think I rode in a Sunbird's back seat..once. My pal Al has a little Harbor Fright compressor; takes a while but guess it works.
Can relate to the falcon one. Hit a turkey that flew across the highway when I was going about 80.
Not as crazy as the market adjustment on the Hummer...but there's a dealer here in the Indianapolis area selling two used Ford Mavericks (they both have around 2000 miles on them. An XL (base model) that has an MSRP of ~$23k and an XLT (mid-level) with and MSRP of ~$25k (the dealer website has pictures of the window stickers) and is selling both for around $39,000.
Word to the wise... Always make an attempt to at least try and fix the problem yourself, HOWEVER, if you are not 100% sure about diagnosis, specs, proper tools etc. then take it to the shop. 9 times out of 10 they are not looking to rob you. Lastly, never and I mean NEVER take your vehicle to the dealership for repairs unless it is still under warranty. Have a good day 🙂
Unfortunately, I live in an apartment building in MN, and pretty much all but the most basic maintenance (checking / filling fluids... replacing worn out wiper blades, air filters) is not allowed.
Be able to tell the tech/mech things like "It does this movement/sound/etc. when I do this action/movement" and "it does it at (certain speed or range of speeds)" or "it only does it after sitting overnight/several hours", or "I had (type of work or service) done at another shop (how many hours/days ago". With newer cars one never knows if something else had to be moved out of the way to do the 1st repairs; sometimes wiring harnesses, vacuum lines, or fasteners aren't reconnected/reinstalled properly.
Example: My parents had a car that would barely run after sitting overnight; if you could keep it running it would warm up and start fine after that, but they couldn't drive it to the shop they way it would run in the morning. The mechanic was a relative; shop was in town; parents did repairs and bought gas there, so he came to the house one morning, saw and heard how it ran, told them to drive it in when it warmed up and leave it with him overnight. He was able to find the problem once he had the car at his shop from a cold start, and he could think about it in the meantime, knowing he had a limited time window to test an 1970's era vehicle.
@@j.m.74 Except for changing the oil you can do all the rest of that stuff in the parking lot of the auto parts store.
Never take your car to the dealership for repairs?!
the dealership technicians are trained by the people who designed and built the vehicle,
they dont hire HS dropouts who took one Boces shop class
As long as people are dumb enough to buy things at outrageous prices. This will keep happening. If people would refuse to pay it. Eventually they would have to lower the prices.
Yes, I've had that happen to me back in 87 with a set of Continentals. Didn't even make it home. Pealed the whole tread right off both rear tires at 60m.p.h. Drove straight back and put bias plies on, L70X15. Never had any problems from them. Great tires too. Lots of folks can't smell anything. One should notice a rotten pumpkin inside their car.
Its always pretty crazy some of the stuff that happens to tires. Just when you think you've seen it all....that spare tire. Insane!!
That's the pucker factor.
I’m pretty sure the donut for my civic had around 2000 miles on it , I live in AZ it’s not a matter of if but when you get a blow out . I’ve had two on my Tacoma , and about 45 on my civic 🤣
I dont know what that spare was for but it would have been hard to install it without a rim!
I really like Just Rolled In because it was hard to believe the things people overlooked, saying something else is the problem. I became a true believer when I was in Mundelein, IL and saw a young fellow on a side road trying to use a cigar lighter in his car to run a compressor to put air in a tire that was torn up and half off the rim. I stopped to help but it was difficult because he only spoke Spanish. I was able to tell him to put on the spare in his trunk but it felt like it could use some air so he started pumping it in. But I could hear hissing sound from the tire and ran my hand around the tread. Very deep tread but then I saw the sidewall. I put my hand through it! I pointed this out but he still kept trying to inflate the tire even though I showed him my hand inside his tire sidewall. I had to move on and he had a cell phone so told him to call someone and left him still trying to put air in that thing!
Well at least you tried, that was very kind of you.
2:39 That's a "space saver" spare tire from the 70's, a Good Year by the sidewall casting. Made to use a minimum of trunk space but still have a 15" wheel and match the size of the full size tires once inflated. The sidewall and tread would expand as you filled it (usually from a spray-can sized inflator.)
Those "inflate-a-spare" tires were a joke! 50 miles and it's done! My '76 Monza 2+2 came with one (bought it two years old, still have it). I am SO glad I know what I'm doing, because when I put 13x7.5 American Racing wheels on it I ALSO put one of the steel wheels and a "good" tire in the back. Good thing too because some time later I took it on a road trip from Atlanta to New Orleans. Saturday night we walked back to the car and the RF tire was flat. Looked like the sidewall had been slashed. I don't *think* we had pissed anybody off, wasn't illegally parked or anything... Try finding a 215/60-R13 Goodyear Gatorback on a Sunday, anywhere!
Made it back to the ATL though...

@@philgrindle2741 Most likely they were just a gimmick for more trunk space.

I owned a Boat repair shop wish I thought of this for it some of the boats people try to fix themselves. Duct tape on the hull for a water leak one had sheet metal screws on a metal patch on the fiberglass hull.
I think if someone tried to pull that "market adjustment" thing on me I would laugh all the way out of the dealership. I will not be paying for the manufacturer's failure to ensure a supply of parts. We are headed for a recession, probably a bad one, and car prices will drop.
If we have a recession the Govt. will simply hand out more money and everyone will be happy again.
So the thing about the amp getting wet is something I see a lot of. In many cases, it also creates a parasitic current draw.

😳 As an ignorant newb who knows my rear diff is leaking a bit of oil, but hasn't gotten around to making sure to find the leak and top it off yet, I'm very grateful this video lit a fire under me because I didn't realize the secondary damage it could cause to the transfer case (cases? Plural? I don't know enough yet) if I keep neglecting it too long. (I know if it fails it could be a big crappy experience, but it's not showing any symptoms yet besides the tiny leak ... though I confess, it's been a while since I knew about this.) Thanks for compiling this awesome and educational content!
I had my car back at the Toyota dealership, where I bought it in Australia, so they could try finding a sound that seems like a stone rolling around in the framework. They never found the stone.
A few months later, I took my car back there for the next service and they told me the sump pan had a dent in it. Sure enough, I checked their 100 point safety check and they claimed the engine had nothing wrong with it.
When I took the car in to have the sump pan changed, I showed the technician their paperwork and told him it should be covered under warranty, because I know for certain I sure as hell didn't hit anything (I'm the only one who drives the car, too). Rather than taking a look to see if the dent was the shape of a trolley jack's lifting part, he just argued and basically accused me of lying. In hind sight, I should have demanded to see a photo of the damage.
Basically, the rule is true: never trust dealerships.
2:39 That is actually a Space Saver spare. The sidewall is double folded and when you put it on, you have to inflate it to 60psi. How you were expected to inflate it on the road has never been explained. They were common in the 80s before the donut.
THANK GOD FOR YEARLY STATE INSPECTIONS IN NC.
2:45 I've seen dozens of tires do that. It's a specific shoulder contruction. A lot of Michelins did it in the 2000s and 2010s too.
