0:00 Intro - Click show more under the video to read more.
0:05 Dodge Ram 1500. The lift arms were not placed correctly underneath the truck. As well the hydraulic lift is rather sketchy to use. I'm surprised some shops still use them.
0:15 The spring compressor was not tight enough when he was removing the nut to remove the strut. Fortunately, nobody or vehicles were injured.
0:27 Engine and transmission sitting on an old tire tipped over leaking out a ton of oil. That won't be fun to clean!
0:47 The mechanic surprisingly did not have a concussion or injuries. He went to his local doctor's office to get checked out and was fine.
1:05 "I cannot disclose the name of but they ended up splicing their cameras into the factory radio harness which is on the same network as the instrument cluster. Every time his camera requested a signal it would take down the network thus losing the instrument cluster."
1:27 Whoever sold this truck to the customer is going to be in trouble. The customer bought it used from a dealership that was not a GM dealership so he brought it into this GM dealership as he thought it would be warranty.
1:47 "On the transits, the majority of them are/come with dual batteries which fit horizontally in that tray. The single battery models use the same size tray but Ford got really lazy on the transit so instead of remaking the battery box, they just give you 2 blocks of foam to "position" the battery properly. These foam pieces are often overlooked when a shop that doesn't work on these vehicles changes the battery & mixes up or misplaces the blocks."
2:09 Be aware of your surroundings when welding.
2:19 The lube tech did not close the valve to the oil drum when draining the old oil out of the drum. So when shop air was hooked up to the oil drum it went everywhere.
2:27 The power steering line was replaced by the other mechanic.
2:40 The technician didn't disconnect the battery before working on this truck and saw sparks flying and fell on his back. He was okay.
1:46 A new alternator fixed the issue.
3:01 No info.
3:12 The technician said his boss doesn't get the lifts fixed or serviced and they are in terrible shape.
3:19 As mentioned the shop replaced the transmission pan and an O2 sensor that was covered in transmission fluid.
3:35 Pay attention when you drill! There was water inside the cab of the truck that started to have a mildew smell over time.
3:49 All along that connector that was corroded was the issue. The customer's vehicle most likely did not need an engine.
4:09 He's not sure what the apprentice was thinking that he completely forgot to position the drain tray.
4:17 All the gear oil leaked out causing damage to the rear differential.
4:57 They are not sure who originally left the adapter compression tester in the spark plug hole but that was the issue the whole time!
5:14 No extra info.
5:48 Exhaust hoses are used in shops to vent the exhaust gases outside when running a vehicle in the shop.
5:57 This could have been really bad! He's lucky it didn't hit the glass door or fire extinguisher.
6:14 The technician said those differentials take a while to fully drain out, that's why you still see around 100 ML drain out. It was not fully drained out by the other shop.
6:27 Drove from Texas to the New Jersey area.
6:39 No extra info.
6:52 The customer showed receipts that this was done at another shop.
7:01 Needed 1 CV axle.
7:14 Pay attention at work and don't look at your phone while lowering down a vehicle.
7:21 Diesel VW. The mechanic wanted to drain the oil out of the glow plug holes so the engine wouldn't try and run away.
7:39 Blocks of wood to chalk the front wheels did not work.
7:48 Bumper, core support, r fender shoved into the door, fuel tank, fuel line, and rocker panels were damaged.
8:08 No info.
8:21 No info.
8:41 Have you done this before?
8:56 Outro. Thanks for watching!

What's the worst thing you've done as a mechanic/technician in the work place?

I'm seriously impressed with the ability to wire all the buttons to the horn.

[katelights]

the every button is the horn trick would be hilarious as a prank

[abelreyna]

Downright criminal what some of these shops do to customers.

[Note_Creator]

That mechanic almost went to snap on heaven trying to catch that car.

[MrSloika]

Mistakes and accidents happen to the best of us. What's inexcusable is the rip-off mechanics like the guy who tried to sell a new trans because of a busted CV joint.

[aarontaylor]

The horn beeping with all those buttons and switches were hilarious 😂😅

[TheDisgruntledMechanic]

I really have a problem with shops/dealerships that don't do what they say they did and worse yet had no idea what they were actually doing and really messed stuff up!!

[corychristensen]

I was a mechanic for 15yrs until my accident. Thank you for showing the ridiculous stuff that happens in a shop that I know too well.

[jacobszymczak]

Every button tied into the horn sounds like something Top Gear would do to each other on a road trip

150 PSI. I was a 16 inch gunnersmate on the battleship Missouri. After we fired the 16 inch guns, they were blown out with 150 PSI. This was to blow any burning debris out of the muzzle so next round of powder did not ignite. If we heard air hissing from any pipe, we never ran our hand along to find the leak. We grabbed a wooden broom handle and ran that along the pipe. Better to saw the handle in two than saw some hand parts off.

Im a mechanic myself. (1 year out of aprenticeship) and i often think back at stuff i did, wich i would have done so much better now (organizing wires repairing wires etc, just cosmetical stuff and nothing drastic i think). I come to realize how much i am still learning everyday by watching your videos and other car stuff on youtube and just from learning from mistakes i am making

Always keep improving fellow mechanics

0:30 the shop: "oh, we decided to give you a complimentary oil change, too!"

[fdavidmiller]

He “Dodged the Ram”. lol I see what you did there. 😜

[randomgamer-stie]

25 years now without having a car fall off a rack. Happened to a coworker while I was 5 feet away. Don't be careless & take your time setting the lift.

[bennyb.]

Oh and also, on welding and brake clean: DONT WELD THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN SPRAYED WITH BRAKE CLEAN. Welding arcs will heat brake clean to the point that it breaks down into phosgene gas. One little wiff and you'll have permanent debilitating brain damage

Many years ago, the family station wagon was a regular in the service bays of a local gas station. They gave us an inadvertent discount by, at different times, leaving 2 screwdrivers, several shop rags, a small pair of pliers, a large pair of pliers, a Grip-Tite wrench, and a pair of vise grip pliers under the hood. They also once changed the air filter and forgot to bolt the lid back down, so when investigating the new rattle beneath the hood Dad found the entire air filter unit sitting at an angle off to one side of the engine. Years later, after religiously bringing it in to the dealer for regular rune-ups & all required repairs, my folks sold their 1st generation Ford Taurus to a family member who lived in another state (they charged him something like $10). When my relative took the car in for his state's required inspection, they discovered that every single piece of hardware under the hood was factory original, even though we'd been charged over the intervening few years for multiple belts, a new water pump, and two new alternators...

[davidp]

2:56 Obviously some customers aren't smart when it comes to taking care of their cars, but it's stuff like this that makes me mistrust car repair places. Spray painting the existing part to make it look new and charging for a "new" unit...that's pronounced "fraud".

[thomasfletcher]

Can't wait for the " my car sounds like " episode ! Gonna be EPIC ! 🤣🤣

[Runco]

Several good examples why I NEVER take my car to a shop and learned to be my own mechanic. Finding a GOOD mechanic is like winning the lottery.
