SHE Put Diesel In Her Gas Car---Now What???

[@Cognacvsop1873]

Your shop is like a friend of mine that came from Germany and opened up a Volkswagen shop and was very successful and he explained things just like you do and his wife or supportive like your wife so so you all put me in mind of him but sadly helping somebody on the road it came to a tragic end for him, and there was nobody to carry on his Shop What you and your wife do makes people closer to you a big old family keep up to work

[@celestial4762]

I love hearing Mrs Doctor talking about her feelings. This industry/business we're all in does get caught up in a huge amount of scrutiny. So many customers thinks that after you touch their car, should the dice roll one way and next week something else pops up they are right away to think that "Oh, the last mechanic must have screwed something up." That is a game that has to be played with tact, and should the customer come a hootin' and a hollerin' pointing the finger at you, then I understand the frustration, and in certain times it does come down to firing the customer.

[@pallmall3930]

I say this about mechanics when referring to working in a restaurant.... I don't like food, work around food most of my adult life. Nothing fancy for me, can of Chef Boyardee works for me. In regards to the mechanic analogy, I say the town(love in small town...pop. 1600) mechanic is driving a beater, why because he works on cars for a living and last thing he wants to do when he gets home is "work" on his car. Meaning not driving *$100K car, vehicle is for utility, to help to live, nothing more, nothing less. All that "passion and love" is left at work. Love your channel and love the genuine love on this channel for all things honest. Much love for you and may you live long and prosper 🙏

[@cortezlewis5915]

You should still make a video on this issue because whoever else filled up at that gas station is probably having same issues and might not have resources to fix it. And what if the company don’t wanna help the other that’s in the dark. Big platform go live 💪🏾

I'm just a DIYer and I had my share of trouble removing the passenger side axle on a 2001 Toyota Sienna van. Besides a hand held hammer and long punch, I tried a Snap-on long throw air hammer and a .498 shank Astro (Big Nasty) air hammer. Due to obstructions it was hard to get a good angle. As a last resort I followed a KZbin video and cut a section out of the inner axle and about 3 or 4 hits with a club hammer directly on the end of the axle stub did the trick for me. Of course I didn't forget to remove the retaining ring and small retaining bolt.

[@bigdaddymak1439]

We had a BP refinery in NW Indiana put too much of an additive in their gas 10 years ago and it destroyed people's engines. Mistakes happen its its how they handle it that makes the difference! Hope they take care of her.

Your customer may not need a certified mechanic, but rather a certified attorney. The small claims limit in Georgia is $15K. What's next, demand junkyard instead of new parts? Someone needs to report this to the Georgia Fuel and Measures Division.

I wish I lived closer to you. Im in western washington. I recently financed a 2014 Dodge Journey RT and it has over 100k. It looks in good health and it didn't have any kind of ticking sounds as far as I could hear. Again seems in good health. For the proce it felt worth it as a first "new" vehicle for the family. Wish I had a pentastar guru near me as far as I know. Cheers.

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

That’s ok! I may not live close but you have me here on KZbin! How is the oil cooler looking??? Check that and go ahead and upgrade it to an all aluminum when you can.

[@Truewastelander]

​@@AlexTheCarDoctorI think it's alright, BUT there is a "clear" fluid leak after some driving?, I'm guessing maybe AC related?. Aside from that I think the oil cooler is ok, but my journey is getting looked at on Monday. If possible should I see if the dealer would replace the oil cooler with a aluminum one?, it is a newer dealer and they seem to be trying to be decent with customer care so. I appreciate the response!, bless you and your family.

[@jruerph]

I own a 2003 Jetta TDI Wagon which I love for it’s durability, fuel economy and low operating costs. I saved a young Hispanic women one day from putting diesel in her Honda Civic. I don’t think she could read English and was mimicking me using the green pump. I promptly stopped her and directed her to the pump.

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Did that once on sunbird. Put can of diesel in i thought was gas. Would not start. Disconnected the rubber gas line at tank and ran it out with electric fuel pump. Put real gas in and put a little in intake and it ran.

[@imfloridano5448]

Your shop is a recognized established business which as you stated hubby let the previous ASE registration lapse (EXPERIENCE DOESN'T LAPSE), the gas company will have to still honor the repair. Also the customer can take the fuel to an analysis center to determine the fuel content. The testing facility can draw fuel from the vehicle and by the way they are not ASE certified either. Fight the Power!!!✊🏾

[@JustATakit]

Alex is 100% mechanic. Every good mechanic I have ever seen drive beaters and really don't concern themselves with driving really nice cars daily. Now their spouse's will tend to have nice cars and they themselves may have a nice hot rod or old vehicle they only drive on special occasions. Other than that you'll always see them riding around in some old beater that has hundreds of thousands of miles on them and most likely won't get washed until the next time it rains.

[@Hellcat71782]

That’s because they know how to fix their cars and typically don’t commute long distances to work. I drive 140 miles per day to and from work. It would be irresponsible of me to drive a 250,000 miles per car that far daily. Most mechanics live close to their shop. So they don’t need a nice car to drive to work. Just a nice car for weekends. Understand

People sometimes think that mechanic's can diagnose a vehicles problem within 10 seconds of hearing the car run or based off any ignorant owners half ass explanation of what their car is doing. That might be the case in a lot of situations but not all. Diagnosing vehicles can take minutes or hours and unfortunately days depending on the make model and most importantly the vehicles owner. Owners who have a little knowledge of how cars work and decent communication skills and attitude tend to have better running cars and a good relationship with their mechanic. Those owners who have low to no knowhow about cars and an equal amount of knowhow to communicate tend to either drive beaters or they have plenty of money and buy new vehicles as soon as the warranty expires. So the moral of this story is don't let that mouth bite a chunk out of your ass because it tends to take that chunk out right where your wallet is.

It's not the station's fault; it's whomever delivers their fuel. Now if the station knew their gas was contaminated and didn't shut down, that's a different story.
