- The plaintiff says he brought his car to the defendant for repair, but the dishonest man lied about using new parts and never resolved the issue with the engine. He’s suing for what he’s owed. The defendant says he fixed the car just fine, and now he’s being sued.
Case: 31-258
#PeoplesCourt #RealityTV #Court - Zábava
The plaintiffs mechanic said the part was not available anymore and no third party make it either, so a used part is the only option!

wanted a free repair ,.... . well i brought my car to Jose plenty of times and always paid him what he asked me this time he try to get over on me thinking im not going to look into it ,...
we don't all think like you
you might take someone to court for a free repair,
I have more important things to do but i qasnt going to let a crook get over
so, before you speak make sure you know what you're talking about i went to him 5 or 6 times before that and gave him what he asked no questions asked he thought the same was goin to happen this time just keep handing him money

@@loukasoumbasakis8991 he seemed like a nice man. He wasn't trying to stiff you. He told you to drive the car 69 miles, which is all Mike did was drive your car for you.
Lol. Did they try replacing the gas cap??
That's the first thing to do when emissions code comes up.
Edit: haha. I wrote the above comment and then hit play to resume video and then at 9:18 the judge asked if they replaced the gas cap. Lol.
Put on a used part from the junk yard and change they guy for a new part. What a crook.
How much is a part worth if it isn't being made anymore? Who said he was charged new part prices?
Well according to the plaintiffs second mechanic, the part is no longer offered new so the possibility of being a new one rather than a used one from a salvage is highly improbable. It’s highly likely that the first mechanic as he stated bought a useable used part and probably wiped it off. Not knowing what exactly was replaced, if it has a gasket then one might be able to see whether a new gasket was used, however it it used an o-ring that would not be easily seen. It sounds as if the second mechanic either was trying to disparage the first so as to win the plaintiffs business or he wasn’t competent. The first mechanic said that the can HAD to be driven so as to reset the sensors.
The fact remains the code has not come back for that manifold repair. Why are they arguing about that repair?
auto manufacturers and politicians made a deal behind closed doors to force people to get rid of perfectly running vehicles after about 10 years and the way they pulled it off is designing vehicle computers to show problem codes that can never be turned off , forcing people to junk their otherwise good running vehicle because with the engine lite on then the state wont pass inspection and they may impound the vehicle . its all a scam to force people to buy brand new vehicles every 10 years .
Harvey, what the hell? You usually give us the final update. We need to know if the defendant eventually provided the receipt

Harvey didn't give you an update because this mechanic sent a questionable receipt that they complety over looked ...
I feel sorry for people who live in states where in order to pass inspection they can’t have a Check Engine Light. The CEL is extremely sensitive and does NOT mean the car is not safe/drivable/dangerous. $$$
I live in Texas and we have this rule. My car is over 200k miles but runs good. Every year I get so stressed out when I have to get that inspection hoping my light doesn’t turn on because then I can’t renew my tags and then I don’t have a car. I can’t afford a new one or repairs right now. I’m recently widowed and now a single mother to a special needs child so even though my car is fine and runs well, I’m saving every penny I can to get a new car or to use for possible repairs. Whichever is cheaper, just hopefully I can save enough before my check engine light does come on. 😬
@@Nugget4137 my light came on while driving to the smog place. stressed me out till it got fixed. had to drive 100 miles to reset light.

First To Arrive For Court On Friday ! Hope Everyone Has A Great Weekend 👍 👌
Happy Saturday here in Australia. 😊
i've been through this shyt. cars are shyt with sensors and multiple computer boxes. you have to have an $8,000 obd tester (most mechanics don't have them) to find out maybe what the problem is. those codes just gives you a clue. leakes could be manifold, hoses, ecg, vapor canister, gas cap, inside the gas tank. after the "fix" you have to drive the vehicle until all the computer systems have gone through its checks. my car was not ready to be checked until after 200 miles. went and passed inspection. 2 days later check light came on again. cars are shyt.
2nd mechanic said he did not replace it based on seeing the part, not just because it's no longer available except st the junk yard. To charge someone $400 for a junkyard part, 2 me, is crazy when the part if available cost $400. I would also think it would be professional to tell customer it was a used part from the junk yard.
THANK YOU finally someone with common sense
As an auto service writer, 95% of the probs between customers and mechanix are from communication probs. The mechanic just doesn't know how to explain in layman's terms how things work. Most of the time the mechanic is right, they just suck at explaining it.

@@marleonetti7 yeah I've worked in the automotive industry for the last 10 yrs.....that's not a thing. And in most states you get an inspection waiver if you've spent X ($200 in my state) in an effort to fix it even if it's not fixed. Or if it's 20 yrs+ old, you're exempt from inspection. You're wrong in every single thing u said, sorry bro
@@Lisa-pc9nn well im in california and thats how it is here and california is the state where most of america's vehicles are sold , soooooo , no im not wrong and in california u do not get a waiver , u get a citation then u get your vehicle impounded if the cop that pulls u over chooses to impound - if its been 6 months of not passing smog .
So how does that translate to some vast conspiracy where u have to buy a new car every 10 yrs?? Or you could just fix ur car...?
@@Lisa-pc9nn because even though most mechanics can fix the car itself to make it run good , they cannot always stop the engine lite from continuing to come on which is what will cause a smog test failure even though the car is actually not polluting the air . the idiot lite as my dads generation used to call it has been used in today's car mfg world as a way to push people to get rid of their old vehicle even though the old vehicle still runs fine .
As a service writer this is cringe. If the emissions test fails then the tech didn't fix it. It the test rejects then it's fixed but not ready, and like Jose said, you need to drive your damn car! I've seen monitors reset in 20 miles I've seen it take 300.
No way that mechanic found a $400 receipt for a used junkyard intake manifold. Unless he knew someone at the junkyard that would lie and put a bogus price on it.
An intake at a junkyard for a Lamborghini wouldn’t even be 400$ shit for a basic car like 50$
Who said it was for $400? Businesses don't sell parts for what they buy them for.
@@pastathemechanic7536 Exactly!
@@pastathemechanic7536 It's extremely unlikely that you could find a Lambo intake manifold for $400, probably not even for $1000.

Each car has a drive cycle for setting the emissions monitors. I always see the smog test shop trying to explain this to upset and frustrated customers. They think that they could just reset the light with a tool and pass the emissions test. NOPE!!!!
A car is complex and you might start of with one light but keep getting others codes. It is hard to diagnose problems because a code simply tells you where the issue is and you need to check everything. Even then you may end up with another issue. I never understood this until I started working on my car.
I totally agree with you and my 2008 Buick Lucerne I fix one problem and then a check engine light comes on for another problem I put almost $6,000 into that car and how about this the check engine lights still on for another problem I don't think it's major but it's still on
anyone can print a new receipt, the judgement makes no sense
and obviously the plaintiff found a guy who knew how to pass inspection illegally . even though i think the whole inspection requirement is a scam to force people to buy brand new vehicles every ten years .
exactly thank you
Finally, someone looks like they actually dressed for court
Once the problem is fixed, then in order to reset the computer, all you have to do is remove the positive cable from the battery and try to start the car. Then put the positive cable back onto the battery and the computer resets itself. You don’t have to drive it.
The mechanic doesn’t know what he’s talking about
plaintiff should count his blessings - his car runs fine and he actually found someone who passed his vehicle inspection and the only thing wrong is the stupid lite wont go off , so what .
thank you that's exactly how I FEEL its the principal though ,...im not going to lose any sleep over this ,....at the end of the day people with common sense see the real picture
thanks again
Wait how is plantiffs paper that the mechanic wrote not good enough when she's asked before if litigants have paperwork stating something? I'm confused as hell.
also somethimes Judge Milian strongly recommends that ppl SPEAK to each other on the phone, rather than texting.....text makes ppl huffy. Which means that the person has no evidence. Things seem to vary....all the best to you!!

An important thing that's being overlooked is that he was charged factory price for a used valve and the defendant didn't contest or correct him about that 🤔
Sometimes a used part costs more than a new one after being discontinued, like anything that becomes rare and sought after.
@@DonziGT230 True, I get it.
Another fine upload from the greatly appreciated TPC. 🥰🙏🏻
Harvey usually tells us the end result of cases when there are contingencies. 🤷🏽♀️
It's difficult to find reputable people to do the right work on your car if you get into a jam. Most repair shops overcharge at an exorbitant amount when just the smallest things go wrong let alone the bigger things. The plantiff didn't have adequate proof to prevail in this case. But I can understand his frustration.
Speak for yourself. You find reputable mechanics by having friends. I found a mechanic in 2002 who has been working on my vehicles this whole time because a friends husband is a mechanic and recommended them. Hell, when I failed a smog test, a local smog tester gave me the error code, told me "Listen, we've seen this code a lot, it's likely this one thing. You can order the part online for a few dollars and it's an easy fix you can do yourself. Fix the code and we'll retest it for free".
Mechanics, contractors, and other fields, especially in small towns, survive by being good and through word of mouth. So it's weird that you always seem to have this "blue collar workers are all thieves that overcharge everyone" when I have a roofer, a mechanic, a contractor, a landscaper, and a ton of other "guys" that do great jobs without overcharging because repeat business for a lifetime is better than overcharging once and losing a customer. Either you don't have anyone in your life to recommend people, or you think paying someone any amount of money is overcharging.
Thom I get it. You like to talk just to talk and that's ok.
@@adrianprince7266 Just because you're a bitter old man doesn't mean everyone is as jaded and alone as you.
Enjoy your weekend thom. See you on Monday.
They really do overcharge, and sometimes just to diagnose the issue. It's almost worth it to just go to a trade school program to be a mechanic just to work on your own car lol
The plaintiff says he doesn’t want junkyard parts in his car, but the second mechanic told him it was a discontinued dealer part and there is no aftermarket version. So where does he expect a part to come from, the auto parts fairy!
No you can't have the day off just film your part in the mechanics closet please.

I laughed so hard at this 😂🤣
I’m sure he’s the owner
You have to get up pretty early in the morning to get over on this judge!
I gotta be getting ready for a foot appointment but here I am watching The People's Court. Priorities.
I thought of the gas cap too
If the defendant bought a used part it would be no record of the purchase only at the place he got it from.
If a part is no longer available from the dealer ( after 10 years per federal law), there are other sources that dealer parts departments and parts stores use. Intake manifolds are now made of plastic instead of metal. It's a Chrysler - enough said.

An evap code can be various things such as:
1. Purge valve
2. Vent valve
3. Vapor canister
4. Vapor canister leak detector
5. Any of the fuel lines can be cracked loose disconnected leaking fuel or air
6. The gas cap can be loose missing and or bad. Gas caps have gaskets and some cars have a pressurized gas system
7. Bad gas
A nice computer can test these sensors or perform a smoke test🤷♀️
The light being reset, resets the computers. Car needs to drive to relearn the system and once all the systems have ran their test and determined everything is good to go aka ready. Then and only then you'll pass emissions ( for cars 2001 and newer )
and not the sunktion like the Plantiff said when he couldn't explain himself properly😂
Not an EVAP code, the plaintiff said it was a VAP code many times.
@@mexicanspec p0456 is an evap code that was the first code and the second was p0457 both evap codes. 1 of those can be a pressure issue in the evap system
I agree 👍 with the verdict. 🔨
I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND!!!!! Yes. I have receipts but not on me right now. Where did you think you were going? A tea dance? The beach?
Gas caps have a seal. When the small evap code pops up usually it’s due to a gas cap not closed correctly or the seal is bad on the cap and must be replaced.
At the end I was expecting Harvey to inform us whether the mechanic had managed to find the receipt or not, which, if he did, was probably a bogus one anyway from his buddy at the salvage place, because if the part is no longer made it is impossible that he bought a new one...
Nobody said he bought a new part. The mechanic testified he bought a used part.
He said he bought a used part because they didn’t make it anymore
Did the defendant find the receipt or not???? Ugh!!!
So, did he find the receipt?
SUSPENSE BUILT UP😝
Did he find the receipt?
If the issues were not fixed and the car passed emissions. They passed the car illegally, or the Defendant did fix the car and it just needed to be driven so the computer could go through the drive cycle. For the car to go through all the cycles it needs to be driven a certain way.
Sometimes the judge needs to just shut up and listen
The judge reads and familiarizes herself with the cases prior to the show, so she knows if there is information she doesn't need to hear.
The only person I'm not going to say wrong about is the gentleman that asks me about what I'm thinking about the verdict ,
he seen right thru the bs ,....
it all depends on the car, you might have to drive a car days or 100's of miles b4 the monitors reset. and it depends on the driving conditions.
I am sooo glad my car won't speak in code once it's restoration is finished😂😊. (Nothing beats a good 40 year old Volvo 240 wagon😎)

he brought a Receipt yes a copy of a receipt that is totally obvious it was made right on the spot
the ink is flashong of the camera a receipt from Months ago?
The car is never going to get fixed correctly if he keeps picking it up and driving it around and bringing it back. That is what the mechanic should have told him.
@ Harvey .....my car NEVER HAD engine problems for this guy to make it run again,,,
my car was always running .... I was harassing him? I had my car there for a month.....
Mechanic dude is wrong. It's usually not an intake problem.. it's mostly a clogged or broken air tube
Plaintiff is full of it
The Plaintiff should have called his witness right there and then....I think the Defendant is lying....he seems pretty shady to me.....When my step father had his volvo repair shop all receipts pertaining to the customers car was with the work order and written down...diagnosis and what was done was written on the work order as well....I should know I filled all of them and made sure things were stapled to them...We even went as far as if the part came with a warranty we stapled it to the work order and then filled it ABC order for the warranty.....His business was open for 20 plus years and never was brought court for poor service or workmanship....
thank you
Plaintiff sounds sus af....
I SOUND SUSPECT ,...HAHAHAA AFTER ALL THE PROOF I BROUGHT THATS YOUR COMMENT ,....
YOU MUST HAVE NO COMMON SENSE ,,(SOUNDS Like ).....
people pay attention to the car, it's a Chrysler and they suck. small evap leaks are usually gas caps. he has no idea what he is saying trying to explain what was done or not done. he probably got lucky with it passing from having 1 monitor not ran yet, some emission tests can pass with 1 monitor not ready. but you gotta be right there for the test. most likely they cleaned that part and charged him all that money and all they replaced was the gas cap.
Yeah, none of what the defendant was saying made sense. All the monitors stuff is true but I couldn’t understand messing with the intake runners. What’s an intake runner actuator or damper gonna cause an evap leak code? He just threw a used intake on it for no reason… probs had it on the shelf for years from another beater. Then the genius couldn’t even order the right gas cap. The cap has to seal properly… the system uses the engine to put the system under vacuum and watches a pressure sensor to test for leaks. If the gas cap doesn’t seal or if there’s a leak then the system won’t hold the vacuum, the PCM will see that pressure sensor drop and the test fails. If it fails twice then light comes on, if it passes twice the monitor passes and it’s ready for inspection. It sounds like the other tech smoke tested the car and found the leak but it’s hard to say exactly what was done. Some places have a process if you spend X amount trying to fix the problem and couldn’t then you get a waver for the year. Here it’s about $400 worth of parts, doesn’t include labor. It doesn’t sound like they did that though. Maybe the guy put the intake and a used purge valve on it too. Just replaced it with as much ‘new’ stuff still attached. The only reason I can see messing with the intake is if there’s a TSB that says the intake runners fail causing the system to not run the test properly and cause a p0456. Still… the intake doesn’t hold the vacuum, the purge valve does. The test only runs between the purge valve, vent valve, and gas cap. It wouldn’t be able to see a bad intake runner and quantity it as an evap leak.

The plaintiff does seem like he is angry and that is why he is being a punk. and he believes he was scammed. I understand. I still think I was right about the defendant
mechanic is a rip off.
thank you
I get the feeling what we have here is a guy calling himself a mechanic but is basically only a parts replacer who doesn't know how to properly diagnose the problem that set the code and a guy who found someone he could bribe to pass inspection with the light still on.
exactly well said & appreciated
This mechanic is full of BS. The car doesn't have to "set" anything that requires driving a car.
Your wrong. In some states the readiness monitors have to be ready to run the emission inspection. When you manually reset the check engine light the monitors all get reset. This technician is correct every vehicle has a different drive cycle to reset the monitors.
You can clear a code before going to do inspections to pass. Driving a car they’ll come back on if there is an issue
This was literally just proven by the plaintiff himself when he said the other mechanic drove it for 68 miles, so I believe the defendant.
@@pastathemechanic7536 incorrect. If you attempt that when the computer is hooked up for inspection it will say monitor not ready and you can't pass inspection.

If your vehicle is older there is a chance that you can no longer get parts for it, after market or dealer parts. Never, turn down a part from a junk yard, you should be grateful the guy even found a part for you. I've had many parts come from junk yards and if the Defendant padded the bill a little the Plaintiff is still getting his part, new or used. It's like anything that is no longer being manufactured, the Seller can put ANY price on an item they want, whether it seems FAIR or not. You should be happy that you even were able to get the part.
