Defendant sounds like the "terms and conditions" guy you hear at the end of a car commercial :P

It’s so refreshing as a former state licensed shop owner, technician, and inspector that the judge called it 109% the way it was. Yahoo.

defendant should have a side hustle as an auctioneer

I'm not gonna lie, I didn't understand majority of what the defendant was saying either. 😂

He said, "It's a receipt for the work I've done". Him and his alley mechanic buddy "rebuilt" that engine! Lying A*s!!!

That kid most likely over revved his engine by missing a gear while racing someone. Even his girlfriend looked like she knew it was shady.

It wasn’t even that the defendant was talking fast that was the problem. It was the fact that he was mumbling and barely opening his mouth lol

Couldn't wait to abuse his new engine, and only after he damaged his engine did he realized he should have broken it in first. I bet he blew it at 4000+ rpm's, so he claimed they were responsible?

Conducting a state inspection would not blow an engine....period. The kid did sloppy work and blew the engine himself.

Judge, I had the same guy who fixed my ears work on my engine. Case dismissed.

Show the receipts for the re-build. Plaintiff is running a scam.

Defendant coughed without covering his mouth…automatically should’ve lost! 😷🗣

Is the defendant related to Dr. Frasier Crane?

The minute he said Subaru wrx I know he’s lying

Oh that's meth up lying like that!!🙄

Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolates. Amen

You could tell the plaintiff was lieing from the first word. That story was so rehearsed and robotic he was probably planning this long in advance.

I'm a mechanic who used to own my own shop. A customer had an Astro van that I diagnosed with leaky intake manifold gaskets (very common). Even though I recommended he fix it right away he waited almost a year to bring it in to get it fixed. He was going on vacation for 2 weeks and left it with me. The morning after he left it I started it and pulled it from the parking lot in front to the first bay in the shop, about 75 feet. It sounded and drove normally. I replaced the gaskets, cleaned the valley area under the intake during that process and then drained the terrible sludged up oil from the crankcase and replaced it and the oil filter with new stuff as well as the coolant. I went to start the engine to do a test drive and final check so it would be ready for his return in almost 2 weeks. The engine would not crank. I thought the battery was weak but it wouldn't crank with a jump start. I thought maybe the starter had just failed so I installed a new starter and still it would not crank. I then took a socket and long ratchet and put on the front crank bolt and tried to turn the engine. It was stuck. When the customer came back I told him what had happened. He initially blamed me. I offered to tear the engine down and find the cause and I was fully insured so if it was my fault insurance would cover it 100%. He agreed and I removed the engine and tore it down to find the bearings and cylinder walls were all scored up (ruined) from the antifreeze seeping into the crankcase for a year. The customer returned and inspected everything. He also admitted that he had researched antifreeze damage in the crankcase after leaving and he wasn't surprised and he no longer blamed me. I'm glad he was smart enough to find an answer without having to go to court.

That man was going 56000RPMs a minute jeeeeezzzz lmfaooo

That car's ECU has a rev limiter, I'm shocked the defendant didn't know or didn't think to bring it up. The only way to over-rev it is if it has a manual transmission and you down shift at a speed that's too high for the gear selected.

He fix the car engine himself

Ok, so I totally thought from the pic on this video that the defendant was Frasier!

Defendant is wrong, the judge rocks

This is an easy one to figure out. Dude’s trying to build himself a little STI. It was probably all Mikey Moused together cause he wanted to finally drive it but needed it inspected for tags. Some fresh UTI student ‘oh I learned that in school’ does a garage engine build. I been there myself… except the engine I built didn’t grenade like his 😆

If the Subaru was a Imprezza wagon or STI It would be worth it. Ppl think oh it’s an 02 but age is irrelevant sometimes because it’s plenty of new cars that are horrible

defendant is such a robot

please dont let that boy and that girl make any babies

No one could of told me he drove an Impreza, he looks just like a kid that would.

It only makes sense to rebuild a Subaru to a person who loves Subaru, such as myself. Badass cars aren't for everyone

Never never install a rebuild engine in any used car, red lights 🔴🔴🔴 this was a setup and his buddy told him to pick any garage for a free motor…

Not only did the plaintiff blow his motor, he blew his earlobes out also! 😂😂😂😂

he tried it....😆

He blew it on multiple occasions haha.

The defendant was INCAPABLE of slowing his speech, how hard is that?...

Blower? Hardly know 'er!

His mate did a bad job and he wanted to saddle this guy with a fake claim to fix it.

Judge Milian ....YOU DONT NEED TO SAY SORRY IM TALKING!... i think you can tell them too bad u didnt hear me as i was talking!

The kid looks like Pacino in Panic in Needle Park

He spent more on the engine, allegedly, then the car is worth. Total scam.

The plaintiff reminds me of Boots from Dora.

Dudes story has holes in it .....like those stupid gauges in his ears!

Turbo charged, the kid races most likely he was too hard on it too soon and spun a bearing. or as the cam sensors were off the cam timing was off and on a dual overhead cam that is doomsday you can't vavles hitting the pistons

“Alls I did…” 😂

He took the car to some alley mechanic who didn't know what he was doing. I guess he is just out almost five grand.

Subaru boxer engines are notorious for being blown by modifications. The plaintiff is crooked and the defendant is crooked too.

even the plaintiff girlfriend knows it is a scam and cant face the judge .

Probably didn't allow the crankshaft time to break in, or timing belt tensioners failed.

It was so easy to rebuild engines and swap engines back in the 70,s. These engines these days,,,oh hell no. Give me a good ole muscle car anyway.

He needs to go to his friend and sue him for the money... if a true friend he will rebuild it with out labor charge. If he bought used parts or new the part could have been bad. I've been there before

i dnt knw anyone who would drop off their car for a inspection thats like the simplest thing to just wait in lobby nd see them do the inspection lol

Try to get the guy with a licensed business to pay for a blown motor that an unlicensed friend rebuilt🤔 Sounds legit 😅🤣😂 Don't they have a staff that screens the cases to be heard? Damn they air fair and hotel for a 9min segment, and it wasn't even that good. On the plus side, that mechanic talked so fast because, he knew his shit, and time is money for him.

Why would he need to take his car in 4 days post inspection?

Plaintiff is a con artist.

I'm sure he's an honest guy but I wouldn't trust my mechanic if he talked that fast. Seems Luke he's trying to get things past you without you knowing or understanding what he's saying

I hate the way the defendant is talking

I spent 8k rebuilding a 2000 Acura Integra motor. I put bigger and better parts all throughout. Subaru box motors love blowing up lol. Notorious issue. Dude probably did a bad job rebuilding the motor the first time lol

Usually rebuilt engines have warranty’s. What this man have to do with anything

The defendant was irritating. I hate speed talkers...

Sounds like defendant needs to lay off the cocaine before coming to court. Wow he speaks extremely fast, to the point of not being able to be understood. Hope he watches this to see it for himself. It’s horrible

Not saying this to be rude but what was the purpose of him taking it to be inspected? Smog? His own personal desire to have it inspected? Anyone have an idea of why he would take a car with an engine that was built 4 days prior and hes says was running fine for inspection?

He ain't speaking fast he's mumbling!!

I do feel sorry for the plantif he genuinely doesn't realise his friend built a shonky engine

If "passing a state inspection" blows your engine...your car shouldn't be on the road. Isn't that the point of a state inspection? That car is so bad that the state-licensed inspectors looked at it and "lol hell no."

Why did nobody in court ask the following: "Why did you drop off a perfectly running car that just had an engine rebuilt to get it inspected?" Seriously, nobody does this unless the car had a problem. If it had a problem, you take it back to the guy who just got done with it 4 days ago. So clearly, the plaintiff is just one of those JDM ricer subie bois who paid for a shit build and got what he paid for.

One of those times when you know in the first 30 seconds how it's gonna go. Subaru bro with his bug-eye Scoob with a new build wound the piss out of it and dumped it at the shop hoping it'd pop on their time and their dime. Also, gotta love when you can look at the bro, the judge asks the make of the car, and you know it's going to be Subaru before he even says it.

This guy is a liar my guess is he tried to rebuild the engine himself or one of his dumb mates did the job, as a mechanic of 35 years I have seen all this before.

subaru engines are called a zero tolerance engine.. meaning it has to be assembled with everything lined up and set up exact or the engine will basically eat itself..the shade tree mechanic that did his ears didn't know that .. the plaintiff didn't know that and that's why the mechanic was smiling and laughing. he knows it.. that engine's computer has a rev limiter and restricts fuel to prevent over revving ..if he dumps a gear at too fast it will blow but other than that ,it's built to prevent that.

Plaintiff's case is so nebulous I rather think he got the "invoice" after he realized the engine was blown. It seems doubtful, given the state of the invoice -- no "PAID" stamp, no business name -- that his mechanic friend actually bothered with one until it became useful for court.

the business owner's smile makes me think he knows more about this than he's sharing

Yea well deserved, a 2002 Subaru Impreza goes for tops 4500. I know cause im selling mine now.

I believe the defendant blow the engine.

Who knows.

Plus the guy is not into blowing a engine

For the love of God, someone buy that girl a brush.

4000 rpm might be the point at which the valves clash with the pistonsand will bend/break because the valve timing is wrong. bad rebuild. that engine should easily take 5500 rpm with zero issues.

The Defendant speaks at a bad tone, (I think it's called.). And he barely moves his jaw OR his lips... I would not want to have a conversation with him about a car, a dog, *what day of the week it is,* nothing .... he's just too weird!

Both sides are clowns 🤡

What?

Why did they even hear this case? He had nothing!!! $5000 for an engine for a 20-year-old car? It's not a classic and we don't even know if he even got a new engine! Stupid.

I'm here just to tell all of you about your car's warranty. 🤓

The defendant seems to have a problem talking tech to a non-tech person. Needs to figure out how to de-jargonize his descriptions for mere mortals.

I suspect whoever did the rebuild was little more than an amateur, and the owner did some I’ll advised “test driving”.

No way any engine on most cars is worth rebuilding DYI bcuz its way too complicated and requires extreme tolerances. A Turbo? They over-stress the engine. NEVER buy a used turbo. Blue book value max damages.

2nd ‼️‼️‼️Let there be ORDER

This is tough but actually it’s the kids fault either way , assuming the kid didn’t blow it himself which most people agree he did, why the fuck would you drop it off at a shop where they are going to road test it before it’s been well n truely broken in, even if his worker did take over 4000rmp that’s pretty easy when you’re testing it especially for a small capacity engine.

I would think that the plaintiff’s credibility was ruined because of the way he looks.

The blondes hair though???? Something up with defendants. I get a sketchy feeling all overall 🤷‍♀️✌

2002 imprezza, cheap boy racer car look at him, he definately blew his car up playing boy racer

A 2002 Subaru is a piece of garbage and not worth putting an engine in

He speeds talk so his customers don't know what the hell he's saying.

The guy doesn’t even really talk fast, he’s just not even fully pronouncing the words LOL his mouth doesn’t even open lol literally talking through a grimace 😂

It's a Suebaru.

People are judging the plaintiff but yet it didn't make since what the defendant was saying either... I'm starting to wonder if he wasn't telling the truth..

Both come across as untrustworthy. Plaintiff did have a bad engine job done if motor breaks down after 4 days. But he cannot prove if it was defendant or himself who did it and had terrible paperwork. Defendant just is the type who fasttalks and specialist words, so that he may be sell extra services to people with little to normal knowledge about car mechanics.

yep wanna be street racer has has backyard bobby rebuild an engine and boom, sounds about right. Dude next time spend that money on getting your girl friend something to eat.

The plaintiff tried to sneak in that he got his engine rebuilt at "Star Motors". He totally lied bc he knew his story was weak even if it was true. Everything was contingent on the fact that his engine was recently rebuilt and who did it. He was gonna gloss over the fact that his friend isn't a real mechanic without a real shop...

He looks high or he’s about to cry & my goodness his girlfriend could of at least brushed her hair 🤦‍♀️ good lord

I believe the plaintiff but he didn't have proof to back it up. Defendant was trying to trip up the judge by rambling and is ecstatic that he got away with it.

If you’re going to speak as fast as an auctioneer, pronunciation is crucial. Definitely not cute or funny.

The defendant still talked way too fast and mumbled his words together. His mouth moves faster than his brain does
