The first car you said that cylinder one blew up. In the 80s I worked for a shop that also did towing I towed in a dodge Colt with a grapefruit sized hole in the block he asked what happened so I said the engine blew up he was an old guy from Mass. Well about 6 months later I received a call from the Mass FBI asking about the car I told him the engine blew up and he asked what I meant so I explained to him what had happened and he says well the owner had called and said someone had placed a bomb in his engine we both got a good laugh out of that. True story

The wiper will shake like that if you scratch under the bumper.

7:40 - You can tell he saw them first crystal clear drips and was like "I should get the camera for this bs" lmao

"a '22 yukon that runs bad and smokes" I had one of those in the form of a wife for a while.

Broken transfer case....Customer states: I can drive my Tahoe in 4WD anytime I want! $4,000 later.... 2WD is fine!

I've seen a lot of bad work, but where in this world did those cars with the brake problems come from? I seriously almost felt bad for some of these people who owns these vehicles. Seriously unreal, Thanks for sharing. 👍👍👍

I am no mechanic at all but I still work on my own truck. And only do so after I've read and watched close to 10 hours of footage on how to do it. Like I did my brakes not too long ago and a shop said I needed new ones.......The rotors where changed as well and are not factory standard some mechanics can rip you off others are truthful

That's some scary shit knowing these idiots might be coming towards you on the road!

Any mechanic that is surprised by using a screwdriver for a key is both very young and lives in a nice area.

Some people should not even be allowed near ANYTHING mechanical.

I don't need maintenance, I would rather pay 5 times as much for repairs.

A co worker brought in a dirt bike he purchased from a "friend", who said it hit a rock and made a hole in the bottom of crankcase. Asked me to repair it, I turned it upside down to look at hole, noticed the end of connecting rod dangling from crankshaft. Fun times.

It continues to amaze me what the real mechanics go through on a daily basis when customers fix their own vehicles or wait until the automobile they are driving fall apart then bring it in for repairs. Do people even understand how long mechanics go to school for fixing these extremely perplexing auto's people are driving today? Next time you get your vehicle fixed make sure to thank the mechanics for keeping you safe and fixing your automobile right the first time. Stop trying to fix your own vehicle, let the professionals do it right. 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Most mechanics are top notch and have worked for many years doing it right. If you like your mechanic, ask for the same person every time. If you don't like the way your auto was fixed shop around. Thank again!!!!

I've seen under so many of these VW buses, they slap on pretty paint and ask 40k

They drive beside you. Scary :D

The purpose of a spark plug is to shine a light at the piston so it doesn't hit it's head! The purpose of a starter is to trick the engine into starting then just rides along! 😆

12:10 - *throwout bearing*. :D

15:06 these are the standart lifting points on every Suzuki Vitara

2:35 c'mon lock the steering and find a longer lever to avoid injury to the back.

10:06 Guess it’s Ford swapped into a Silverado!!! Blasphemy lol can 💯 guarantee that’s a ford thermostat housing. Know that junk Intake from anywhere have replaced countless over years!!!! Love the videos just had a double take on that clip!!!

Just stop and think about this for a second: there are cars and trucks EXACTLY these on the roads right next to you.

4:13 "Used, in Like-New Condition. No offers, i know what i got."

That clutch went all the way.😊

Proves how important repurchase inspections are❗👍✌😁

0:46 that wiper mod... slaps 😆

3:40 shitbox owners never fail to impress me with their ingenuity

The scary thing at 2:50 was that the pads were brand new.

What happened to having a used car looked over by a mechanic BEFORE purchasing it? 😳

There's a really good reason the individual fluids exist. If ATF fixed everything, we wouldn't have about 60 different fluid types. 🤦‍♀️

There was a repair shop where I grew I’m that had a clutch with all the clutch material gone hanging on the wall. They didn’t know how that car drove in either.

"Ahhh, you can put brake fluid in your crank case! S**t's all the same, anyway!"

The screw driver in the ignition was the funniest thing I've ever seen

2:09 - i am sure my clutch as worn out as that one 😂 :,)

It's all fun and games until a customer plays with the yellow wires for the air bags.

0:55 That's how rats' tails move when they were shot. Poor car 🤣

2:22 Saves him the slice of bread!

The rock on the brakes got me once

How the hell do you not at the very least look under the car and check if there's rust or not? It only requires using your eyes, That NPC life just brainlessly wandering through life somehow amazes me.

0:47 scratching that one spot on your dog that gets their leg going.🤣

Flintstone mobile Reminds me of going car shopping

It looks that sometimes people drive while cars can drive 😁

0:54 Well, looks like one wiper is getting some from the other wiper

I'm not a Mek-in-nick But god bless you people for what you do. But some of these had ME wide eyed like WTF. Thanks for Sharing

Dude that last one is my worst nightmare

My first car had big holes in the floor too. I fixed them with the sheet metal froM the backs of discarded stoves. That squealing noise from the clutch is the throw out bearing, not the pilot bearing. The Suzuki lifting points are ‘just’ welded on. Uh bruh, the whole body of the car is just welded together.

"turns out they overfilled it by 2 GALLONS"

4:04 basically every quick lube

Most of the super rusty cars must be from up north,love working on my truck down south, all the parts come off with ease

*0:46** Check out Eddie Rabbitt's hit "I Love a Rainy Night" there's a line;* 🎶🎵 *"windshield wipers slappin' out the tempo, keepin' perfect rhythm..."* 🎵🎶

Insane!!!!

This might be unfounded fear but I worry where humanity is going with this. You know, the saying 'someone knows just enough to dangerous'

10:20 I had a parts shop tell me to spray brake cleaner in the diaphragm of my egr valve to clean it. That would have destroyed it most likely. Parts shop people can only be trusted so much

im watching these as my bmw drips oil in the drive way😔

"this was going to be a 16 year old's car" bro my first car was like that too. lift the passenger carpet and you see straight to fuel lines and ground, and the only support towards the end were the passenger doors. lasted 3 years, welded some sheet metal in to cover it one weekend, and head gasket blew out and blew the engine the week after

The vw bus was the least sketchy one of the bunch.

0:46 A car with Parkinsons. Didn't think mechanical things could get that disease, but apparently I was wrong.

The VW Bus owner just spray painted over the rust to try and cover it up 😂 😂

"LIKE" button torqued to manufacturer's recommended specification. "CLICK"

This explains why so many Americans drive through red lights and stop signs lose controls and crash 😂😂

2:10 "It's starting to slip." OMG! I guess so!

I love how "small rock" is used the preferred pronoun is "fucking boulder"

Love your Music BoA, Alpha Music!

You know what’s said as a twenty year certificate tech I’ve seen more shady work come out of dealerships then quick lubes !

@0:46 the car is shivering. it is cold :)

I’m not a mechanic…..but I’m also not an idiot. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Who put 3 gallons of oil in their car 😂

There was nothing wrong with that air filter. Such a bad mechanic. 😂

The window plays the bagpipes

Being a mechanic in the US must be a hell of a job. There went a lot stupidity into some of these 😂

In va we have a state inspection system it was .50 cent when it started now it's still only twenty dollars now total steering suspension brakes the entire car including ps leaks even air filters and people complain about the 20 dollar charge but it takes about 25 to 30 minutes per inspection and if you do too many too fast the state police shut you down and investigate WHY your doing more than they think your capable of under the rules now in place and instead of 6 months it's now 1 year

@Mechanical Nightmare @2:02 I had a friend who had a small red Yaris who he got brand new from a car shop and while he was taking me for a ride it started to make a loud Reeeeeee noise when he sped up followed by several loud bangs we rang up to get a tow truck and took his car to the Mechanic and told him what happened. When he took the clutch off the metal plates fell out and onto the ground meaning they’ve broke off their mounts and the bearings had no grease and were extremely rusty explaining the loud Reeeeeee noise another thing the Mechanic noticed is there was a groove in the pad where the clutch was engaged meaning one of the plates was bent or broken along with a fracture in the clutch housing caused by the clutch plates breaking off. But there’s a happy ending to this story he got the clutch and bearings replaced and he also sued the car shop he got his car from for the rusty bearings and broken clutch plate

It's the not a yearly roadworthiness test in the US? Seems like a lot of these cars couldn't possibly get as bad as they are in a year and would be forced to do repairs or scrap if they failed the test. Most countries have one, in the UK is called the MOT (Ministry Of Transport test)

1:22 Perfect, the kid can learn to weld and have a decent car at 18.

10:10 Ford coils on a Silverado, interesting.

Brake fluid is cheaper than transmission fluid what the f*** and I've never heard of that

The windshield wiper had a inch

8:57 The lugnuts arent even tight, thats a major exageration right there, the bearing is not as bad as theyre making it seem

The death bus...wtf.

I don't understand how anyone overfills their engine oil. Even when I was young and dumb at 17 years old and had my first car, I knew how many quarts of oil the engine took.

Sorry if it’s been explained before but your logo has a bicycle chainring in the center of it. Did you do mtb videos before or was it just a cool look? Not complaining or criticizing it’s just always made me curious

1:20 that's what cardboard is for....

You can use atf for power steering, not brakes lmao.

Don't seem to see many Honda's on these videos hmmmmmm🤩🥰😍🤩

At 0:46 they didn’t put the wipers back on right after changing the battery.

7:08 rest in pieces grand marquee

1:00 is got an itch it can’t reach

Memo too self ......Never buy a second hand car in the USA 😂😂😂

It's amazing that people will drive around with their brakes screaming until they wear a rotor down to nothing.,

Mechanic states tou should get your brain checked 😭

Can you change my exhaust oil

4:30 On this side of the puddle that's an "American restoration". First impression looks matter, rest...less so.

PSA... Turn your phone....

8:45 how do you overfill by 8L?!?!

10:07. Silverado? I see a ford engine

I get that there are a lot of dumb people out there who should never touch a wrench, but for every dumb customer there is an equally dumb “professional” mechanic, and of the 2 the cocky know it all mechanic who thinks he can never fuck up is worse, don’t get me wrong there are some great mechanics who really know their shit, but they are generally not the cocky ones who think they walk on water

What in the BLUE HELL is goin' ON HERE?

A few of these were old ones

"You can use ATF instead of brake fluid..." Why? Brake fluid is incredibly cheap, ATF not so much. So why?

I'm suprised anyone is stil alive in the US , there probebly should be 100 times more accidents on the road, God forbid

This is every car in Detroit. Seriously all broke shit. No car inspection or emissions laws.
