Video descriptions:
0:00 Intro
0:04 Customer States "truck shakes at highway speeds"
0:22 Customer States "there's a shake when at low speeds"
0:30 Surprisingly the oil was somewhat clean the filter really did its job
0:42 The customer said they hit a "hub cap" in the road and their car launched 3ft in the air. They wanted us to tell them what was damaged as the car stopped driving
1:03 Not the first time I've seen someone drill flares into the washer fluid
1:14 Customer States "I have no brakes, the pedal goes straight to the floor"
1:28 Customer States "hit a parked car and now their car doesn't drive, just sounds angry"
1:35 Bit of excess movement for this little piston
1:41 I wonder how long they were cranking it before the fuel pump gave up
1:52 Classic GM bodies vs salt
2:03 Either that or it wanted some air cooling instead
2:09 Apparently quite a common issue for these as there's no temp light for the coolant
2:20 Customer had a blow out while on the highway where the tread ripped off
2:25 Mechanic went to do some carbon cleaning on their cars intake manifold and found these cracked
2:38 Customer States "I think my tie rod is bent or something"
2:43 Let us know what this noise is in the comments below
3:16 Super dangerous if it wasn't latched as they catch on the wind fly up and smash the windscreen
3:34 Outro

Well, to be fair, that hubcap was still attached to the wheel, hub, and axle.

[ShawnHCorey]

0:43 "Customer states, 'I hit a hubcap.'" Attached to a tank.

[Kromaatikse]

3:00 The sound is a three-phase IGBT inverter. A lot of hybrid cars now use a three-phase motor as a combination of HV battery charger, electric drive, and engine starter. Either the engine is locked up or the computer thinks it is.

[eddievanbasten]

Hubcap? Think it must’ve been Captain America’s shield.

[vinnyivanov]

That sound on the honda is the electronic throttle body cycling, I bet it just has a dead battery that doesn't have enough oomf to start the car but still powers up things here and there.

[DeltaWhiskeyBravo]

Maybe just maybe, hitting the hubcap meant a manhole cover. Regardless we're dealing with stupid drivers here.

[cjgordon]

It baffles me how many people don't change their oil

[Denny_L]

Sounds like electronic throttle tries to calibrate itself

[xavieuhr]

i will never forget the one time a customer we had drove his honda oddysey into our shop with only 1 out of the 6 pistons firing. i have no idea how he managed to drive 15 min to our shop

[jonathanfairchild]

Mystery sound could be the electronic throttle body. My Subaru does this if you just leave it in run without starting it. The throttle is trying to maintain a position. If you move the gas pedal the throttle whine will vary. I suspect the servo is bad but still works for now. Sounds just like that. You can’t hear it when it’s running so typical it’s not noticeable

[deanmeyer]

I said “change your oil every 3 months or 3, 000 miles, not 3 years or 30, 000 miles!”

[morganpethis]

"fly up and smash the windscreen" That's the first time in almost 40 years of life I've ever heard a windshield called a windscreen.

[cameronwhite]

2:44-3:14 I'll bet that starter is shot or your battery is weak. Had that happen to me on a 91 caprice. Same sound, dead spot in starter motor

[FastSS]

Starter solenoid sounds like it's causing a dead short when engaged as you hear what sounds like electrical sparking after the mechanical clunk.

[xorbe]

EarthDreams no start is probably just electronic TB noise + dead battery. We are used to this in the motorcycle forums every Spring.

[benjaminfinlay]

@2:43 Not a mechanic - just your average joe - but it sounds like the starter's _trying_ to turn theengine over, but failing. And it's putting so much force into it it's _skipping, _ so that engine is _well and truly_ locked up.

[stevefick]

At 3:00, probably a loose battery cable. My son's CR-V did the same thing until I found the culprit. Loose positive battery cable.

[philventura]

I think the mystery noise is the starter engaging on a locked up motor. Or it's the laughing noises that other guy said😂

[catfood]

That motor not starting making the weird sound sounds either hydrolocked or seized.

[mikefoehr]

That noise is the sound of desperation
