    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 No extra info from the mechanic. However, I'm surprised this semi is allowed on the roads like this.
    0:25 The customer ended up getting a new exhaust installed. They could have used wire or something a lot easier to hold up the exhaust.
    0:34 Hopefully they will be going elsewhere to get new tires.
    0:43 No extra info.
    0:59 These brake rotors have an inner and outer wheel bearing. As mentioned the outer wheel bearings were missing on both sides.
    1:08 This is a first on the channel! Can't say we've ever seen both brake pads being installed on one side. An important reminder to take some photos before taking stuff apart and putting it back together.
    1:19 These vehicles had a factory rear air suspension but as mentioned it was not working. In the back of the SUV were boxes full of flooring which can weigh quite a bit!
    1:34 Land Rover Range Rover Evoque. A new/used engine will have to be installed.
    1:45 Will require a new engine. Probably the most mileage we have seen on the channel with the same oil from the factory. Impressive!
    1:56 Customer said they would fix it themselves. To fix it you'd have to replace the exhaust or if you're really good with a welder you might be able to patch the holes.
    2:13 No extra info.
    2:20 Since the accelerator pedal was pressed down by the floormat the vehicle was in clear flood mode which disables the fuel injectors and the vehicle from starting.
    2:29 Took some time but the concrete was cleaned off and it fixed the customer's concern.
    2:38 2015 Volkswagen Passat.
    2:54 No extra info.
    3:01 He also mentioned a tow truck driver was right around the corner dropping off a vehicle as well. He said this was the most random thing he had seen at his shop in 17 years.
    3:15 1985 Monte Carlo SS
    3:28 Outro. Thanks for watching!

      Used the aircraft landing lights all the time. Had a '86 General with the 4 round lights and installed them in the high beam location. Separate wire and switch etc. Only trouble was the tab on the lights didn't line up with the hole in the housing. Simple fix. That was back in the old days where there was hardly any traffic so you could actually use them.

      I got pulled over in a company truck once for not using the turn signals, except that I had, and the dash indicators flashed, just not the actual outside lamps. Got back to the shop and mentioned it to the boss, he says "Oh yeah- the turn signals only work if you have the hazard switch on in that truck". Okay.... Tried them with the hazard switch on, they worked perfectly. Went back in and asked him what I was supposed to do if I needed the hazard lights at some point, on this commercial vehicle that was usually pulling at least a 14 foot trailer. His solution? "Just flip the turn signals back and forth real quick". Sheer genius...

      You can go forever without an oil change. There are countless articles in mechanic's magazines on this topic. The last one I read was about two Nissans. One was regularly maintained and the other one was just driven. After 150,000km they stripped both of them down and inspected everything. They found no difference (except some sludge in the engine that was driven 150,000 kilometers without an oil change).

    I noticed that the semi with all the horns and lights, also has a Canadian plate, is that what you Canadians do up there, eh? 😁

      Maye that was for the truck convoy protest last year.... some asshat kept blowing a train whistle that you could hear kilometers away. All night. All day. For a week.

    I’ve never thought about dropping a two in a dealer lot. Cleaner than a gas station and similar privacy. Sounds like a win win to me.

    I remember a car commercial from the, I want to say 1990's, that had a hood being welded shut with claims the car wouldn't need any maintenance for 100,000 miles. I feel like the people that drive their vehicles till they die without ever getting an oil change saw those commercials and took them literally.

      If the only way to get around is by car, then you have a lot of people behind the wheel who should not drive.
      Invest more in bicycle and walking infrastructure, public transport and better yearly safety inspections.

    "ONLY one set of train horns worked"? A fvcking train only needs one set of train horns. Was that trucker hoping to honk at someone on the moon?
