First day in the shop 30 years ago the guy I was shadowing made me ask all the other techs for an aluminum magnet to pick up a part...I was so young and dumb I had no idea why everyone was laughing. Good times😂

The guy that was trying to cut the front of the vehicle off is mind blowing that’s something you do to your vehicle not a customers vehicle.

The dude spraying soapy water on a tire not mounted on a rim and inflated. Derp

Lots of great stories from my decades as a mechanic. The air samples were always the funniest.

They guy trying to wash his hands at the sink was the best, I laughed so hard.

Yes, a bottle of compression, a tin of striped paint, waiting at the parts counter for 1/2 hr to collect a 'long stand' for a John Deere tractor. To name a few.

I've got a story for y'all. So I was a lube tech at a GM shop and i was like 3-4 months in on the racks, and late one evening we have a customer tow in his big old suburban that he had partially driven into a ditch. He was an older gentleman and he was polite in asking us to take a look at the damage and let him know what all we find. So I get tasked with bringing the vehicle in and without thinking I hopped in and drove it onto my rack, and the vehicle had a wobble to it. I get out and see a massive gouge in not only the shop floor, but also in the asphalt leading into the shop because in my hurry to get the vehicle into the shop, I failed to see that the gentleman had hit the ditch hard enough to split the wheel in half and partially bend his brake caliper out of shape. Fortunately there wasn't any more damage that wasn't there before but I was the dumb Lubie that decided to rush his job than make sure that the vehicle was even safe to drive into the shop. So lesson here for anyone going into the shop and they get a vehicle that came in on a tow truck: ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE VEHICLE CAN BE MOVED BEFORE MOVING IT! Hope this story made some folks laugh, Y'all have a good one.

We use to say "some people's kids" in the shop while shaking our heads in disappointment 😂

When I was in the Army, I sent the new guy to the stores for a fallopian tube for a Land Rover

The screw in the battery, already seen it, wonderful when it happens nearby 😂

It's videos like this that give me reassurance that I'm not that dumb....most days.

How do you get two brakes? Haha!

This is the best compilation I've seen of these yet, fantastic video.

Yeah, nothing beats cutting off the front end of a vehicle to get to the radiator.

[Donald_Shaw]

And this is exactly why I hate bring my car in for service.

Watching this as a young apprentice not only makes me laugh, but it also gives me an idea of what NOT to do 😂

There are to many fails to list, but my favorites were the washing hands one and the very last one with the dolly. Me and my wife were both asking if the dolly person was high lol.
