if it was me i would have offerd to buy the truck from him for cheap since " it needed a bunch of tranny work " , but i can be a dick when an idiot i know has a vehicle i have wanted since i was old enough to identify cars ( i was able to do that by first grade , make , model and approximate year ) and i am 18 now

i'd do the same thing if some of my buddys werent rich enough to get it brought to a mechanic to fix the "problem"

 

[Mudhound]

Got one that came in last night. Complaint is that the engine has a serious loss of power/ doesn't want to idle. Okay, I'll look at it in the AM. I looked at it this morning, and sure enough, it doesn't want to idle unless you step on the gas. Then it just kind of goes "uh. uh. uh. uh." Hmm. Clogged cat? Nope. I called the gut and asked him where he had been lately. He said " over at a friends house." Been there before? "Nope" Whats' the driveway like? "Whats' that got to do with my car?" Answer the question, please. "Very rough." Okay, come get it Tuesday. "Really?" Yeah, the end of the exhast system has been smashed FLAT. As in F_L_A_T. I have to replace the last 2 FEET of the system. What did you drive this thing over? "Well, there IS a big hump in the middle of the driveway going all the way up to the house." Idiot. You DON'T drive a freaking Civic up a driveway that has trucks with 31-36" tires go up it year around, including in the rain, snow, etc... Oh, and you "might" want to look for another fueltank, as this one is crushed, too.

I have problems with that before.

Older one. Customer went to Iraq for over 6 months. Comes back and gets his car serviced for an oil change. When I popped the hood, I found that a bird has made an entire nest out of the engine compartment. All you can see was a nest of straw and grass, no engine. After about 30 mins of tearing it out, I could finally do an oil change.

Another one with birds. Doing an oil change for a customer. On my usual inspection. Open up the air box to find a bird's nest inside. Told the customer that they will need a new air filter and that if they would like to keep the bird's nest.

Every had a car sit long enough that nature claims it. One of my co-worker drives an old Chevy. But doesn't take care of it. Some reason, a family of sparrows decided it was good idea to start a family up inside the exhuast pipe. Tom drives the car to work and we hear chripping. Looked inside the tailpipe and we can see the little ones. Luckily, the tail pipe had so many rust holes, it didn't affixuate the little guys.

Had a kid come in the shop the other day with the 3.8 v6 mustangs. He was complaining that his mustang sounded like crud with flowmasters and couldn't keep up with mustangs he tried to race. I tried to keep a straight face and explain to him those were 8 cylinders and he had a six cylinder. Punch line... He asked how much for two more cylinders. Had to teach an automotive lesson at work lol

Exactly. One of my girlfriends friends told me her dad bought her a corvette, I was in shock. She proceed to talk about it and ten minutes later told me it was a 1995.. PONTIAC THUNDERBIRD CORVETTE. I twitched a little, then asked her to describe what it looked like, she said she had a picture of it on her phone..

..it was a 1995 Pontiac Firebird with a T tops. She thought corvette and convertible meant the same thing. I told her she's an idiot and walked away.

Always have that problem with the exhaust systems on snowmobiles up here. Let them sit over the Summer and the Chipmunks love to store acorns in there. Was at the Jeep dealer getting some work done on mine when I heard the tech talking to a woman explaining what her problem was. He pointed to a pile of "stuff" he took out of her intake, it was about half of a rag mop that some critter had used for a next.

I had a guy pull the motor out of his race car all pissed off sayin that the motor blew up, he refused to let me or my boss come out and look at it in his shop before he pulled it out. The motor was a built Chevy 406 in a dirt track car, when this type of motor goes it REALLY GOES, most that do come in blown up have holes in the oil pans at least. He brought it in, he had set one of the rockers wrong and it popped off the pushrod, 15 minutes and i had him on his way feeling like an idiot!!!

 

[tony314]

When I used to work for Firestone we had a guy come in complaining on a loud horrific smashing noise as he put it.Well, we walked out to look at the car and bring it in and noticed all the tires were sitting all funny. Looked closer and noticed 3 out of the 4 rims only had 2 lug nuts and 1 rim only had 1. We asked him why he only had 7 lug luts total and he said he was painting the lug nuts and rims chrome and lost the others so he put on what he could find and JB welded the rest of the threads.

So we went over the car and his bill to replace all the rims, lug nuts,rotors,brakes, tires and so forth came out to a little over 4 grand. We showed him the bill and he asked if we could throw some proper chrome rims on and picked the rims he wanted out of a mag. and he signed the RO. He came back a week later and decided to pull the race card on an $8,000 bill and refused to pay and called the police on us lol. The cops showed up and he started arguing with them . They decided to search his car and found 30 pounds of pot hidden under the back seat in a home made compartment lmao.

P.S. We found the remaining lug nuts under the seat in a paper bag.
