[@roadrunner8488]

I've had my own air conditioning shop for many years and Ive seen a number of these condensers come in and mostly I find that it's a customer that likes to wash the car himself with high pressure and especially the radiators, it still baffles me how many people you cannot explain to that high pressure hurts the radiator.

[@MihaelTurina]

Well shit, I always wash my car at the self service carwash, and now I'm concerned about this.

[@Prozerge]

ya i took one look and thought they use a pressure washer on it

[@annehaight9963]

I work in car rental and yes, pressure washers can cause a lot of damage if used incorrectly. They can damage the window/door seals, trim, and engine components behind the front grill (such as this condenser). If there are any nicks in the paint, the pressure washer can get under them and start taking the paint off the car. I have seen a few like this, especially on flexible bumpers. A pressure washer jet can also do a lot of damage to a person. It can cut right through a regular shoe. I always wear work boots with a composite toe shield.

She said okay and would bring it over the next day. When she brought it to my house the next day....she stopped at the gas station literally 2 blocks from my house and filled the tank. I had to pull the bed instead. It's been 10 years, and my forehead still hurts from that facepalm.

Oh, hey. Thank you for the comprehensive description of each video. I have never seen a brake disc explode like that either. Side story: Back in the 90s my mother drove our 1967 VE Valiant sedan (Australia) from home down to the city for a week. She drove all over the city and visited friends and family etc and then came back. It was an 1800 km (1100ml) round trip not including driving all over the city. She was a quarter mile from our town, and slowing to the 50kmh/35mph speed limit when the front left wheel locked up. Thankfully she was a skilled driver and got the car to a safe stop. Upon inspection it was found that the mechanic who'd replaced the pads the day before she left didn't tighten the brake caliper properly. Imagine if it happened on the highway doing 70mph while passing a semi? My father, a diesel fitter/mechanic popped down to the workshop and had a few 'words' to the mechanic responsible. He was an apprentice, so dad didn't knock him out, just explained in strong terms how important it is to double-check your work because your work may mean the difference between life and death for a customer.

[@ekummel]

We had a Jeep Cherokee where the disk brake was made from two dissimilar metals. The hub was made from one type of metal and it was welded to the rotor which was made of a different type of metal. This caused each type to heat up and cool down at different rates which eventually caused the welds to separate. So eventually, the hub which was bolted in place with the wheel was no longer connected to the rotor which was connected with the brake pads. Applying the brakes eventually did nothing to slow the Jeep down. I replaced the rotors, then later found a service bulletin about this. Sent Jeep my costs to repair (backyard mechanic) and they reimbursed me! This was my wife's car so I was kind of scared when I found that out.

[@panzerveps]

I was that mechanic last year. No excuse. I just fucked up. Rear right caliper, forgot to tighten the fasteners. Probably because of some distraction. Customer suddenly lost brake pressure when the caliper fell off the carrier and piston was driven all the way out. No one was hurt, and I got to keep my job.

One time I was driving home when a tire with wheel fell out of a truck bed while crossing an interstate overpass. It fell to the surface street below and headed up the curved off-ramp I was driving on. There wasn’t a way to protect my car because the ramp had no shoulders, just ditches on both sides. The best I could do is line up the corner of my Civic so it bounced away to the side instead of into my windshield, and also protect the cars behind me. It worked. My car took limited damage and wheel went into the ditch.

[@Maniac3020]

I had the fifth one happen to my radiator. Driving on the highway on a hot day almost overheated my engine, but as soon as I slowed down, the temp dropped. No wonder, it was missing half the fins. Turns out, the metal fins fell off if you poked them, they had the consistency of soggy cardboard. Replaced the radiator myself, no problems with it since.

[@thomashowlett8295]

I've replaced multiple radiators and condensers with missing fins like this in areas where they salt the roads in the winter with corrosive chemicals. It just rots the aluminum fins right off. Another issue is with pressure washer damage, not missing fins, but the high pressure water folds the fins over, blocking the airflow. Using a tool called a fin comb, and a lot of time, you can usually straighten the fins out.

On the exploding rotor, that wasn't a defect in the rotor. If you look at the pieces of the rotor, some of the edges look rusty. Pay attention to the curved piece the mechanic picks up and moves. Before he moves it, the edge facing him is extremely rusty. That crack had been there a while. The rotor probably cracked due to heat and metal fatigue, rust got in it, which eventually weakened the metal enough that centrifugal forces separated the rotor. Violently.

It is crazy how when, people find out just how bad their car truck is ,they not only don't get it fixed but contenuie to drive them. Loves the cars at the end of each video. Liked.Shared. All my best.

[@Christophersanchez1326]

I have witnessed flying tires that have come out of nowhere. Then see the vehicle it came from grinding a path on the blacktop. 🤓

[@JustRolledIn]

Glad I haven't witnessed it in person yet lol

[@brantmcfarland517]

WOW!! That was too close. If that wheel would have hit them people, that would have hurt. Thanks for sharing my friend.

[@dumpjeep]

I was passenger in an early Saab 9³ that had the transmission break and send all the oil through the hole in case with nothing but a ping and no abuse was going on at the time. It maybe felt like we ran over a half inch diameter branch in the road, thats what it felt like to me. Almost nothing felt/heard from inside the vehicle. So in my experience its totally feasible that the customer was being truthful.

My "low fuel" story... Brought my '99 Intrigue in for the THIRD complaint of mild shudder when turning left into a parking space. Mild shudder is intermittent but only happens when parking. When I handed the keys to the Service Writer, the car had 1/4 tank. (Vehicle purchased at 27,7xx miles, problem began around 43-45k) I called in the afternoon, after not hearing from them, to ask what had transpired. I was rudely informed that I "didn't leave the tech enough gas to test drive the vehicle." I barked back, "The problem only happens when turning left into a parking space. You have a massive empty parking lot behind the service bays. You have 1/4 tank to simply make a whole bunch of low-speed left turns on your property. What is the issue here?" I picked up my car - not even looked at - and returned another day. And now... The rest of the story. (RIP Paul Harvey) The day of the 4th visit, the tech who looked at my car the first two times - not the 3rd time with the low fuel excuse - asked to ride in the car with me to see if I could duplicate the complaint. Sure! He hopped in, I started the car, backed it out of a parking space, and he says, "Rico (head service writer) says you think it's the rack. Why do you think it's the rack?" I mention similar symptoms to the '98 recall for power steering racks, similar to the symptoms of the bad rack in the 1984 Skylark I traded in to buy the Intrigue, and I said "It wouldn't be unheard-of for a few of those bad racks to be on early-99s." "Oh, I don't want to replace the rack if it's not the problem." "Well, I'm under warranty, the rack is covered, and I have zero deductible." The tech laughs, and I begin to turn left - at about 3 mph - into a left-hand parking space, and the car shudders. Symptom appears on first attempt, with me driving, and tech in car. (I should have bought a lottery ticket with that luck!) New rack was installed, and I drove 130-140k on the replacement rack with no shudder since. Didn't need 1/4 tank of gas to prove the problem existed... That tech ended up being "my" tech, he would take my car every time I came in to the dealership, even for LOF. I felt honored, because he was an excellent tech.

[@timkis64]

perhaps the shops involved should have a clause in their work orders that allow for a 30% stupidity surcharge on the bill.

[@phillipg9345]

Had a 2500/3500 diesel customer once, "When it's hot it does bla bla". Dead of winter, below zero, brought it in with the fuel light on.

[@anonymous-ts5ih]

What’s also scary: the same customers are allowed to own firearm weapons. These people are not able to bear the responsibility to have a roadsafe vehicle and lack common sense. I doubt they can even operate a deadly weapon safely.

[@erueru2014]

But that weapon is all the "freedom" they have left

[@anonymous-ts5ih]

@@erueru2014 must be pretty poor minded to define freedom with a bit of deadly metall

[@njinthemj52]

That guy's guinea pig loves wheels. It sounded super excited 😊

[@joshriver75]

I don't know why anyone would ever want a steering wheel cover??? They should be illegal imo

[@sven-erikviira1872]

3:15 - Damn, that spool up time!

[@rubenp4298]

The never ending supply of these kinds of videos amazes me

[@Mercmad]

1:25 .that is a result of car detailers using Acidic mag wheel cleaner to quickly wash bugs from a condenser . It destroys mirrors too .I see it every day .

[@andrewmoore7416]

Seen quite a few of these now...not claiming to be a mechanical genius but seriously, some of these are hilariously unbelievable also love the little bits you put in at the end...great viewing, love it!

[@KenBober]

The bald tires lol, if I didn't know any better I would say that was my buddy in his benz. I warned him a year ago to get new rear tires. He did a few weeks ago when they kept going flat.

[@poopool_Q]

That condenser is crazy. I've never seen that either

[@calvint_rallycross]

Ive been a tech since about 2013. It was definitely a first for me.... 220k miles btw.

[@poopool_Q]

@@calvint_rallycross I've been working on Hondas for around 20 years. I've seen some "rare" things. Like my crank pulley separate from itself, a spark plug electrode fall/wear off, and steering bearings (shaft inside the steering box) fall apart but this is different, something new for the list I suppose. I wonder how that even happens. My first thought was damage but it doesn't look like it took a hit 🤔

[@edwardashley6688]

That must’ve been one hell of a “ding” that the customer heard!! I’m thinking it was probably more of a “clunk-crunch, rattle-clank”, then maybe a few “dings” as parts hit the road!!

[@filanfyretracker]

yeah they say ding and I think of the clip popping out of an M1 Garand not what looks like a transfer case suffering Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly.

[@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS]

Please excuse me, for I am Late... however I spent this morning swapping my pinholed plastic single core radiator for a 3 core aluminum TIG welded unit... just waiting for the upper hose. Only $156 from Ebay but no provisions for steering cooler so I relocated it in front of the bumper dam above the license plate! I think it's solid!

[@fredy.aleksander]

olha !!! um opala no final do video, com um niva tambem hahahahah

[@r1learner178]

Ha ha, I have seen that air conditioner radiator with fins missing like that - the owner was really proud of his high powered pressure washer.

[@potdragon8091]

That tire certainly "Just Rolled In"! 🤪

[@RipRoaringGarage]

Also, its a good day, when you come back in for the day, after FINALLY diagnosing a problem on the car..and then you find a Just Rolled In!

[@jimkavalier2831]

Set of tandem trailer wheels ended up in neighbor's corn field earlier this spring, someone picked them up, wasn't the neighbor, was out quite a ways.... lol Love the videos sir! Thanks

[@JustRolledIn]

Holy cow lol. Would have loved to seen that camera footage.

[@furyofbongos]

3:15 - that tire sure made a funny sound as it flew by.

[@richardp5920]

AC condenser one: somebody used a pressure washer to blast bugs off the grill, and mangled the fins in the process

[@lordkreigs1978]

That was my very first thought too.

[@Ivan-pi6ur]

That "ding" is an understatement

[@IxodesPersulcatus]

"They had it towed home and hadn't driven it since" - now that's what you want to hear! Good to see that there are drivers with some sense.

[@blackicee8836]

The last one with the girl freckin out song tho!😆😆😆

[@willb5744]

I’d recognize that Buick wheel anywhere! Super premium option.

[@charlesgallagher1376]

The flying tire made me flinch.

[@mrbeastchocolate]

That squeal in slow motion was really funny
