These videos are meant to be educational and funny, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
0:00 Intro
0:05 The mechanic said the customer told them that he had receipts for the oil changes but they haven't seen any of them. Either way, the engine will be getting replaced. This 2020 Mercedes-Benz sprinter van has 60000 miles/96560km.
0:21 The manufacturer and shop couldn't find any evidence of this actually happening so the claim was denied. When a customer claims that an issue like this happened the manufacturer will send somebody out to investigate the issue as they take claims like this very seriously.
0:34 The get-back whip is actually what it sounds like. The whip caused the customer's concern.
0:45 Repairs declined for rear brakes, rotors and calipers.
0:58 The engine needed to be replaced. The AUDI R8 was towed away.
1:14 The transmission needed to be replaced after it broke down 2 miles away from the shop.
1:28 The vehicle overheated and caused the cylinder head to warp as the engine got extremely hot.
1:42 The JB weld and beer can didn't fix the issue. The mechanic cleaned off the transmission fluid leak prior to taking the photos.
1:52 No extra info.
2:02 Brake lines were rusted (common older GM issue) so the customer used the parking brake to stop.
2:20 The undercarriage had 80 pounds/36 kg of dirt underneath, which was cleaned up by the technician.
2:30 5.7L Hemi so it has 16 spark plugs. All were gapped incorrectly. The technician installed new plugs, gapped them correctly, fixed the wiring and replaced the bad fuel injector and it now runs perfectly. The mechanic thinks that the customer did this.
2:44 This Dodge RAM 1500 was towed away.
2:52 The technician was okay and the shop replaced the airbags.
2:58 No extra info.
3:07 Outro. Thanks for watching!

I have been a Mechanic for 35+ years now, and I am so glad that I can pull vehicles off the road, if they refuse important repairs. I know most Mechanics aren't able to do that, which is a shame. Hell, I have had customers "threaten" to call the cops, so I dial them up on my phone. The cops are always pissed off that these people are trying to drive their death traps on the road, and side with me. Have a great day, Sir! o7 And God Bless!

Ok, don't know if you read any of my comments, but I have a laugh for you. I was staying in one of my fathers houses with his mother after I got out of the navy and worked security at a refinery, I was married at the time. But wife was in Florida. Well a female cousin decided she wanted to work security and got a job at a Goodyear warehouse about 30 miles from the house mentioned. So on a night off the phone rings and mamaw answered it as she always did. I'm sitting there one ear on the TV and one on the phone call and mamaw asking cousin about her car. Turns out cousin told mamaw she would not be home because her car was broken down, termites ate her radiator. The worse part was when her car actually broke down and mamaw asked me to go get her. Well in the house, her bedroom was across the hallway from mine. So I go down and pick her up and the entire 30 miles back to mamaws all she talked about made me sick. All she talked about was my room was across from hers and how much she wanted at night after mamaw was asleep was to crawl into my bed naked and give me what my wife could not. I brushed her off and she never entered my bedroom. She later married a man who was well into his 80's even though she was 30'ish. Sorry, humor and sickness in the same story.

I once made it 14,000 miles on a single oil change in my Pontiac Vibe. At the oil change place, the guy was telling me all about how dirty it was going to be. The oil was *still clear*, and had the viscosity of water. Surprised the hell out of the tech. They flushed it and service went normal. Gotta love a good Toyota engine. I went 198000 miles and the only part i ever had to replace was the water pump cause the bearings went, and the electric fan motor, for the same reason. Miss that car.

[@DC9Douglas]

Commercial trucks with (aftermarket) secondary oil filter systems on them have gone several hundred thousand miles without an oil change and without any damage or noticeable wear.

Could definitely do a compilation of all the long oil changes intervals we’ve seen. There’s been lots 😅

[@johnlowe37]

The whole "bungee cord on the parking brake release thing" wouldn't be so scary if it were something the owner did just so the vehicle could be limped into the shop - but the voice-over says it had been that way "for some time".

[@ouch1011]

That, and those Chevy trucks use tiny drum brakes that sit inside the rear brake rotors for the parking brake. They are smaller than the drum brakes that you would find on a 90s Honda Civic, only on the rear axle, and definitely not designed to stop the vehicle.

[@sylviaisgod6947]

I had a friend do the same thing back in the '80s with his 78 Monte Carlo. His brakes went out so he put a pair of vice grips on the parking brake release and used the parking brake for stopping. It worked for about a week. Then he got to a serious accident totaling his Monte Carlo. No brakes, no insurance. Cost him dearly.

Try in any car. Floor accelerator and press the brake moderately at the same time. The car will stop in no time. This is always people who intend to brake, but hit the accelerator instead.

Because now they can go down to Elcheapo Auto Parts, buy the part and do it themselves.

That last clip of the yellow car. My first ship was an LST home ported in San Diego and every 6 months we were deployed overseas for 6 months. One of the benefits was that if a ship had room a service member could have the ship take their car from stateside to their overseas duty station on the ship and for free. Well an officer was transferred to Hawaii and had his car put on my ship as Hawaii would be our first stop. So My ship had a ramp that would extend onto the pier like a tongue and a ramp that lowered onto the tank deck. This car was something like an MG Midget size but cannot recall what it was.. So we drive it up the bow ramp and into the tank deck and griped it down, no problem. We get to Hawaii and time to offload and what happens? The officers car sat so low it could not clear the ramp from the tank deck to the main deck and onto the bow ramp to get to the pier, where the officer was waiting. Several attempts and methods were of no use, it sat too low. So one of the enlisted guys gets in the car and backs up halfway down the tank deck. He then hits the gas and off he goes toward the tank deck ramp and gets the car on the ramp and drives it to the main deck, to the bow ramp and onto the pier where the officer is waiting. BUT,,,,, there's always a but. The navy is not responsible for any damage. When the car hit the tank deck ramp it was so low that the ramp tore up the oil pan and did other damage to the underside. Remember those ramps were designed to support tanks. Down the bow ramp the enlisted drives the car, trailing oil and other fluids all the way. Stops and parks in front of the officer, hands him the keys and walks back on the ship. All the while the officer throwing a fit about the damage to his car.

Couple months back the switch from winter tires to summer tires was due. Wanted to do this myself, no biggie. As I was starting to lift up the car, I heared crunching in the spot, where the jack is supposed to be placed. I took a look and it didn't look good. Went to a local shop for switching the wheels AND told them, they need to check for rust. They billed me for the rust check and said, everything was dandy. Okay. I had a bad feeling about this shop. So servicing the car and having another rust check done, I went to a shop 600 kilometers away (being part of a long trip, visiting friends across country). In that shop, the responsible mechanic almost got a heart attack, there were huge holes in my undercarriage. that alone needed a fix for 1,000 bucks. And it had a few other issues, which are cleared now. It was a good decision to not use that local shop for works on my vehicle. Who knows, what kind of sloppy work they would have done. I should actually sue them for billing me for something, that they either didn't do, or gave me an absolutely wrong result about, basically lying to me for whatever reason. Moral for me: Put extra effort into my car maintenance, to get it this long distance to the trustworthy shop.

Y’know… when I hear “customer declined repairs” it’s not necessarily that alone which makes me cringe because obviously not everyone has the cash to cover sudden extras that they weren’t perhaps anticipating… But it’s the fact that most of the ones that decline then just casually drive off or think that they can just ignore the issue… if everyone was just towing their shit away and parking it up at home until they can afford to fix the issues then fair enough - I’ve done that with my Mini. But if it’s something serious like your fucking brakes are nonexistent, your tyres or wheels are fucked or your chassis is rusted through and you just shrug and drive off, then your financial situation is irrelevant because now you’re gambling with people’s lives. Not to mention how fucking stupid it is going to a professional and then just deciding “nah fam, don’t fix that engine problem, I don’t need it” and driving away after said professional has just told you that your car has a serious issue that needs fixing. It’s like going to a doctor to get a lump scanned only to decline treatment when they tell you it’s a tumour that you need to get removed now while it’s still an option. The end cost of ignoring the problem almost always costs a lot more than just getting it fixed at the time. Don’t be a prick, either take it off the road until you can afford to fix it or else just fucking get it fixed…

Made me day thenk you for all your hard work

[@csjrogerson2377]

I had that in the UK when I purchased a 2nd hand car. I asked for a service to be done and I marked the oil filter when nobody was looking. The service was never done but the parts had been taken from the store. The mechanic was using the ports to do services at home for a fee using parts from the garage. He got sacked, I got the service and a new set of tires for free.

[@ngsomeguy]

Never take your vehicle to a Mercedes dealer. Their inflated pricing alone should be enough of a turn off. They wanted to charge me $1200 for a serpentine belt replacement and 4 spark plugs (both were still good), $300 for an oil change as well. I just bought a pump for $20 and do it all myself for a fraction of the cost.

2:58 know the guy in the red shirt in the background is shooting a video, but at first I thought he was just standing back there chugging a beer. Either way, the utter lack of reaction when the other guy smashed his car into the trailer gave me a chuckle! 😆

I don't understand the timing belt guy 🤷‍♂ Why pay a shop to check your timing belt, then when they tell you its about to fall off, decline the repair 🤦‍♂

So they can take it to "another shop"

[@jon27d]

As someone who does a lot of my own work on my vehicles I do wonder if some of these where the customer declines repairs is just the customer trying to get the problem diagnosed correctly before they start swapping parts out. I hope these mechanics are charging for diagnosing the problem in these cases

Timing belt is about to fall off.. Customer declines repair... That timing belt is going to be a lot cheaper to fix then having the engine replaced when it finally breaks and trashes the pistons.

I especially like that not only was a transmission case patched with a beer can and JB Weld, but it was patched over a pressurized feed to one of the clutches. Some people can’t be helped.

[@DopravniPoradce]

2:58 *ROFL* That same thing happened to my friend's friend mechanic in a Volvo shop while he was working on XC60. He didn't "bump" the sensor. It happens, when you work in the area and the sensor is in the way and you unscrew it and put it aside while turning it upside down while not having disconnected battery and not waited sufficient time for the condensators to discharge. He was in a shock an in a huge debt at the same time. XC60 has A LOT of airbags. 😀

I feel like any time a mechanic finds stuff like those mercedes brakes, tires that are completely bald, frame that is falling apart, they should be required to call the cops and prevent the car from being driven away.

One if the dealerships I owned for fairly near aonther dealership for a different manufacturer. In the trade locally this other dealership was a cause of concern as we heard all sorts of weird and wonderful tales regarding it's practices. One of which was that it had hire cars, never serviced them, then when these hire cars got to 80,000 km, they wound the odometer back to maybe 25,000 km and sold it as a one owmer car. Then one day I had one of these ex-hire cars into our workshop. The mechanic called me down to look at it. When he'd removed the valve cover he found it was literally soild carbonised oil, still in the shape of the valve cover which came off like a jelly mould. The vehicle was showing 29,000 KM. I spoke to the customer who refused to believe me, told me to "Put it back together and I do not expect a bill!!" So that is precisely what happened. That guy could not believe he had been fooled by the dealership that sold him the heap of ex-hire car garbage. About 6 months later the other dealership was caught ... The tax inspectors started the fun, followed by the police with the directors and others being charged with fraud plus much else. Within another 3 months it was gone for good. {Gallic shrug}
