    Video descriptions:
    0:00 Intro
    0:04 That's one expensive hit for this unlucky customer
    0:19 Just a 'little' overdue on that brake pad and rotor job
    0:43 We have no clue how these ended up here and the customer had no idea either
    0:54 They of course supplied their own parts missing this one and still proceeded to drive it out the shop
    1:02 Very lucky customer as brakes this bad is super dangerous
    1:19 Wonder how long this shock was missing for before the customer brought it in
    1:25 This timing belt was about to cause destruction if this mechanic did pick it up
    1:37 Definitely looks like it got way too hot, check your oil level folks
    1:44 That's one unhappy diff if I've ever seen one
    2:01 Nice homemade 2 piece rotors the budget edition
    2:15 This is going to be quite an expensive repair as they'll need to replace basically everything
    2:33 This is why inspections on passenger vehicles need to be often
    2:48 They must have been hearing this sloshing for ages
    3:10 How could this pass quality control it's obviously damaged before they shipped it
    3:25 Yup those are rocks in the fuel tank, I wish we knew why the person did it
    3:30 That is 100% some rod/bearing knock so that engine is toast
    3:44 I've never been a big fan of air suspension but usually Toyota is decent but not lately
    4:00 Customer States "my prius engine does this when i start it"

      And I really can't understand why, as you can get very cheap aftermarket brake pads and rotors for pretty much any kind of car these days, they don't last as long as OEM parts but it's not a huge difference unless you're driving some powerful sports car or heavy duty truck.

The last time I drove my car, it did not leak anything when I left but when I got home, I can see a trail of transmission fluid.

    Do the Americans not have to have their cars checked every year for compliance with the law and motor vehicle safety standards here in the UK? Every car over three year old has to be checked every year and if it fails it is not allowed to be driven on the road and it is made compliance with the law again. I just get the impression from these videos from the good old USA that there is either very poor standards no standards at all or some states/parts of the country. No reason or need to take safety test on your vehicle every year.
