They thought they ran over accident debris... turns out it may have been a person....

(No people were harmed in the creation of this post)

This vehicle was one of the very first vehicles that had the FAKRA issue and HONDA told us to replace both the dash harness and the body harness because we couldn’t complete the newest recall

20 hours of warranty time :)

They also completely destroyed the main harness boot. They repaired some wires but I had to run a new cable for the front camera. What a mess.

Honestly, I never seen this type of custom made truck before but looks very cool. I was lucky technician to service it. If y’all have ever seen this truck on road before, leave comments down below.

Not 100% sure on what happened, but GFL had one of their trucks towed in because “it stopped moving”. This is what was inside the power divider. It appears the power is no longer being divided, but rather the gears themselves. I personally think someone tried locking the diff while the wheels were slipping at high speeds when loaded. What’s y’all’s take?

To be clearly honest, I don’t think this was no pothole. Must have drove over or hit something on road to cause this impact damage to control arm.

Customer was notified that car is not safe to drive and bring it to body shop for possible frame damage. Customer had car towed away weeks later. I bet customers insurance would immediately written car off as repairs would exceed car value.

Sound on

Behold, the automotive genius that is Firestone.

MIL brought her car, 2013 Nissan Juke, to a tire shop near her for a bad starter, they won't do more than plugs on cars, so they recommend she bring it to Firestone.

Firestone replaces the starter, but she said that it's running horribly afterwards. WHY she left that place with the car messed up is beyond me still.

I go and pick it up to bring it to my garage and look at it. It's running like total rat ass, unreal how someone could claim this was repaired, thing barely idled and I swore it was going to die on me in the 5 mile ride home.

Codes show CYL 1 misfire. Change plugs and swap coils, CYL 1 misfire remains, it doesn't move. Few vac lines are shit, changed them, no difference. Check compression, extremely even across all 4 cylinders, so it's not a valve stuck open from carbon deposits.

I figure it's the fuel injector. They had to crack off the intake manifold and fuel rail to change the starter, so I figured they borked something or forgot to plug it an injector.

Instead of tearing into it, I order 4 replacement Bosche DI injectors for it, all the necessary fuel rail fittings and o-rings, intake manifold gasket, turbo inlet gasket, everything that could break when I tear into this, since I wanted it to be one and done.

Get everything off, remove the TB, get the intake loose, and this is what I find....

I sat there cursing in disbelief for like the next 10 minutes straight.

Absolutely unreal. I have no idea how this rag straight up did NOT catch on fire, it reeked of gas and was obviously seeing combustion as evidence by the carbon build up on it.

I'm at a loss about what to do next. The initial urge is to go down there and flip my shit, but I doubt that gets anywhere. They definitely replaced the starter, I figure asking for a refund on the labor is more than fair.

I've only read about this shit, have never seen something like this with my own eyes. Does anyone else have tales of fixing the fuckups of other mechanics?

Customer brought in their Camry this morning saying it probably just needs spark plugs, but they’ve also been adding coolant. I could see the writing on the wall, pulled plugs and cranked motor geyser achieved.

They’re just sitting there, mocking me…. Should I?

…you don’t say

Curtis Gemini 12D coffee machine with a pretty bad water level sensor leak. The sensor itself was super corroded, letting water seep through and calcium to build up over time.

2nd pic is a side-by-side of how friggin dirty this machine was.

This fine GM product has the desired fluid injection to keep the pistons cool on several cylinders we looked at. Also thought we saw parts of the turbo floating around there too. Customer checking on possible warranty

Its my car dw

all of this to put the spare back in the trunk. out of spite i threw it all back in in the most disrespectful way. every empty water bottle, every used napkin and face mask, every old newspaper. i’m so mad right now
