My purpose in life is to now listen to this man say VE-HI-CLE

You’re running a business, being sued, & didn’t think you needed any paperwork for court? 😒

The second I saw the defendant walk in there without evidence I knew it was over for him🤦🏽‍♀️

The plaintiff said “vehicle” so many times that the word has ceased to have any meaning for me.

Stopping by to say God bless you all❤💐

The defendant brought his own statement😂🤣😂😂🤣 I'm hella weak💀💀💀💀

Defendant Accused of: Not fixing things ... Aight, i'ma sue my husband

Drinking game: take a shot every time the plaintiff says "vehicle"

a common Judge Judy statement/comment, "where did you think you were coming to today, the beach?" (for the litigants who don't bring any documentation).

Judge tried so hard not to laugh when he said "Who is this knuckle head talking trash" 🤣

These two have never been to court! It's like pulling teeth to get the info! This would drive me NUTS!

Their accents are making me crave homemade biscuits and sweet tea.

He said “ve-hi-cle” soooooo many times 😂😂

Take a shot every time the plaintiff says vehicle. You'll be out of booze before he's out of vehicles.

As a mechanic, I can legit see this happening. It is really expensive fixing AC and if you don't replace the whole system on an old car, you run the risk of parts gradually going bad or sometimes going bad shortly after old parts are replaced. That being said, it looks pretty bad that he has no paperwork, texts, etc. to support his side of the lawsuit.

The defendant didn't give a damn about anything...

The mechanic is the most unprofessional businessman I HAVE EVER SEEN WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW HIM TO EVEN PUT GAS IN YOUR CAR? 💯

A lot of times when you replace a part on an older vehicle, the old parts can't keep up with it & start to fail.

"Vee- hii-cle"😂😂😂

Harvey if you are that unwell take the damn day off all we need is Doug at the end anyway

The defendant is the reason why some people don’t trust mechanics.

This guy’s just one of those customers. He’s just stupid enough to let you overcharge him for something, but just smart enough to not let you get away with it.

This guy should be held in contempt for having NOTHING. He is a business owner. He should have records

I would be so mad if I finally get to be in the audience and had to sit through this boring ass case

He sounds so much older than he looks lol. I was just listening without watching at first and I was expecting to see an 80 year old man saying ve-hic-le like that and talking about pulling a “blade” 😩😂

the judge don't understand car repairs, people do spend hundreds of dollars on old cars. its cheaper than having a car note for the next 5 years.

I do not feel the defendant was trying to scam him in any way. But I do feel he's not as skilled of a mechanic to handle more detailed repairs like this one. Other than he seems like a good and genuine guy overall.

The new mechanic is wrong. The clutch will not engage if the freon is low. He does not need to replace the new compressor with another new compressor. By the way I'm a mechanic over 20 years

YAY. A NEW ONE!!!

The judge looked so irritated when she asked, “is there anything else you wanna tell me?” 😂😂😂 @11:35

Did he pull his statement out from his back pocket?!

The plaintiffs voice sounds older than his face looks. If that makes sense

Why does the plaintiff say 'vehicle' so funny?🤭and why did he say it 893 times?!🤷‍♀️

😂😂😂 once I saw the defendant come in no paperwork just as jolly as he want to be I knew it was over for him 🙅🏾‍♀️

This is typical of many auto repair shops. I've been in the automotive repair business for a long time and I know what can happen. The auto AC business should be handled by AC specialist, especially on older VE-HI-CLES, lol. The mechanic here did not write up a work order, first mistake. The first thing to do as a shop owner is write a work order as a diagnostic. After you've found the culprit or culprits, you inform the car owner what you have found without hands on getting into the job. Then you write down the cost on all parts and labor. Very important to stipulate in writing that if you happen to find any additional related items that need to be replaced, that you will stop the repairs, notify the owner and address the related issue. Make sure they understands and agree before signing the work order. Obviously there will be additional cost but you're giving the car owner the option. Otherwise, you won't have a leg to stand on when your standing in front of Judge Marilyn Milian...

I've dealt with AC problems myself on cars in the past. The mechanic is right when he says that the AC system is pressurized... so with a fresh compressor, that now puts pressure on seals and hoses that up to that point had not been under pressure for a while and may have dried out due to lack of lubrication. Therefore they in turn can leak now that they are again under pressure. So I understand his position here but am unimpressed with his business acumen. The plaintiff pretty much got a free ride here . The O-rings are fairly cheap and all it would essentially be now is a couple hours of labor and a freon recharge.

when he dun came for the VEEE hickle lol. love these cases.

To replace everything on that a/c system would be more than the car was worth.

As a mechanic I would never have done a air conditioner compressor on a 17 year old car

Omg,it's Mayberry all over again Andy and Barney.If he had said vehicle one more time🤣🤠 country folk.

Yeah $1,500 is a lot for air conditioning problems and then it not be fixed

Thank you for finally exposing these mechanics doing this for years and dealerships are the worst I rather you give me a ridiculous Price with everything that I need to fix versus you charging me each time the problem is they go together

Never take your car to a mechanic to fix the AC.... always take it to a shop that fixes only car AC systems or you will get this as your result.

Working on ac in a vehicle has to many "ifs" especially in a vehicle 🤔 Side note; vehicle is the word for the day😉

You can tell the judge know nothing about old cars and fixing stuff on them and it making other things mess up 🤦🏾

When a defendant walks in with no paperwork they are either so sure they are right or they are ill prepared for being sued. In this case he was ill prepared and it cost him.

I love the way the plaintiff talks. It makes me feel like I’m watching Gunsmoke, or Andy Griffith. 😂😂

man, Covid and downtime really getting to Harvey during this one

"the flower of it's youth". Lmao she's hilarious.

This happens all the time with closed systems. The defendant could have saved himself with a little documentation to verify what he was explaining

They both seem like nice people. idk why, but I like them both.

Let's play the drinking game every time he say veeeehicclee drink

Sounds like he was blowing a lot of hot air

I don’t understand why she does ‘rough justice’ when other people don’t have evidence, she says that’s ‘you’re problem’. And that defendant shouldn’t assume the plaintiff would provide evidence for him (when they talked in the hallway).

I had a same situation with the AC compressor except I was going to the dealership and yes you have to watch them cause all you get is the back n forth the run around as I call it, after coming back the 3rd time I had to get some base in my voice to let them know enough is enough n if they couldn’t fix it I’m taking my business else where low n behold they finally found out what the problem was, long story short watch everyone.

Lord, pullin out blades! Are we doing a Michael Jackson video? 🤣🤣🤣 🎵🎵🎶BEAT IT!🎶🎵🎵🎶

I like the defendant. He has a calm tone and nature about him

I worked in a small dealership for a few years in the 80s. Every car that came in with AC issues needed a new compressor, even if an O ring would fix a leak. We would even clean the old compressors and paint them to reinstall as new. Same with alternators. I got out of the mechanic biz because if this. Sad that this still goes on.

Judge trying not to laugh at him saying V E H I C L E

I swear the commentator does it for me with the spicy 🌶

I like the way the plaintiff talks I like his accent 🥰😘

If he says ve-hee-cle one mo time I’m gonna lose it lol

Old cars are like that. You fix one thing and something else goes. It's just the way it is. The car was "stressed" being so old. Once the new pump with high pressure replaced the old weak pump. More leakes started by weak and dried out seals. The only solution is replacing every component in the system or buy a newer car. Case closed.

I was watching this on the app from my TV, but within a minute of the episode, I KNEW I had to hit these comments! Y'all didn't disappoint! 😂👏🏾💜✨

Wfh made him look ever older that he did before 😂😂

He didn't like that gun question 😂

Why am I up at 2am still watching these court cases…I have a new addiction

“Who was running at you, Knucklehead?” 😂😂😂

I mean, how was he supposed to know that he was supposed to bring paperwork to court?🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Dudes a theif. He took advantage of that kind man. I wish the Judge would just give the max.

My dad's an ASE master tech with 30+ years experience. The best thing you can do is notify the customer on a quote/repair order of any repair they've requested, any problems that could occur as a result of the repair (because that's a thing) and any/all costs that could be expected. Most people want to fix their cars as cheaply as possible. If you own an old car because buying a new one is expensive, you're going to spend as much, if not more money keeping the old one on the road and in good condition. Lesson of the day is, if you maintain your vehicle well, find a mechanic you trust, and don't try fixing your own stuff (if you're unqualified) to save money, you'll at least know what you've got and what to expect.

Harvey looks very sick in this one.

2 weeks for a mechanic to see your car? I would just walk away and find some one else.

This exact same thing happened to me, took it 3 times, leak the 2nd and then they had to remove the dashboard, but because it was still under warranty, they said no. Eventually I had my dad do it for waaaaaay less. Some mechanics, even the car dealership mechanics, have no idea what they’re doing

You can tell they're from the South. "Yes, ma'am" every 5 minutes. 😊

Lol the litigant said the word vehicle a lot.

One of those half ass mechanics doing a half ass job for a full price.($1500), and I'm glad know how to work my own car.

He had to think about the gun question at the end lol... he must have lots of problems there.

DOUG: Do you get involved in situations where you need your gun very often? DEFENDANT: … no. 😂

Plaintiff sounds like the water boy “that’s some quality H2O”

I’ve found that it helps to use the recirculation function to keep my Durango cool, rather than to constantly trying to cool hot Texas air.

It DOES take many hours when they have to take the dash apart. I had a plugged heater core and the heater/a/c doors wouldn't open. They quoted me $2K to fix it. This was 5 years ago.

I really really really love the way the plaintiff say vehicle...VeHHHicle....hahahaha

"I thought she had all the documents from him"..... LOL yeah buddy she sure did have them all... thats what court is you BOTH bring your side of the story into court lol the last thing you EVER wanna do is rely on the other person to bring in documents hahahahaha

gee harvey you looking kind of rough there

Oh my goodness, this is actually painful to watch! What is with these two it's like their brains are stuck in molasses?!

I was glad when Doug said "good brand, good car". I also understand the Plaintiff's anger when knuckle head put in some bad words about the car. Lexus ES 300 is a monstrous luxury car that lasts forever if taken care of.

Plaintiff is very fond of the word VEHICLE

A mechanic does not work on air conditioners a mechanic works on a car, you have to take it to an a/c specialist who specializes in ac"s that's what I do

He should have known that the seals were going to go bad from the leak test you have to do after the service is done. Not doing one can result in a huge huge fine. Most mechanics I know are paranoid about that. He may have been able to charge for the extra seals and even the cost of going into the dash. A compressor run without 134a may possibly be destroyed if the oil also leaks. It can happen but not always (I’m a certified parts specialist)

Compressors have a low pressure switch to keep them from burning up if they get too low on freon the clutch will not kick in the compressor

This is sad because they both seem like nice people

This drove me crazy... The judge is stuck on having the plaintiff break down each and every word of the story - "what do you mean by charging toward you? What do you mean by getting in between you?". Then the plaintiff takes forever telling the story and says the word vehicle about 57 times 😒🙄. My nerves!

"I grabbed my pistol, but there is no need for violence..." ummm then why grab a gun?

VEEE-HICK--ELL....twelve times said!!! lol

Plantiff kinda sounds like Bobby Boucher in water boy lmaooooo

lol, this case turns THUG really quick after the car problem discussion, haha, let's take it outside!

I have no idea what the heck happened in this case, the only thing I can remember is the word "veehuhcle"

LoL that no at the end with the smile was a cute fib

O rings dry out and crack over time, especially if they are no longer under pressure. So when the new unit was installed they would have blown. The mechanic was right to say they weren't a problem before the new unit was installed, BUT he should have known this would be an issue and either replace them anyway, or let the guy know it's possible this could happen and if so to call back and he'd sort it out for him. Just needed explaining clearly to the fella. Poor business sense.
