Somehow I'm thinking that's same guy who came in there claiming to not have clue how to change his oil and way trying to figure out some way to remove and refill it through the dipstick tube.

Some places do that now.

For something like the engine that is a retarded way to do it.

I also maintain that the only fill port on a transmission being the dipstick tube is equally retarded. Filling a fluid through the same tube you use to check the level is just flat out dumb.

I completely agree with the transmission thing.

And that guy with the cobra is a dumbass

so yesterday i am insulating my garage door when i get a call from my wife at work saying she can not turn over her car a 1994 taurus. since i was in the garage i didnt hear the ringing of the phone just the beep of the answer machine. calling her back at her work is nearly impossible so i just i drop what i was doing grab some tools,my cell phone, my keys to my b2 which has a ranger key, and battle rush hour traffic.

search all over the parking lot looking for her car and cannot find it. go in the walmart and search for her (dept manager) no dice, some one said she left so i call home and she answers. i am like wtf.... turns out she stole my keys and my keys have the black key for the ranger and the taurus is the all metal key and after 2 trips out to her car after work she finally figured it out. was the reason i couldnt find my keys.

Take both of your keys to a locksmith. Have them cut 1 key, one side for your Ranger, the other side for the BII. Then you only have to carry 1 key for both vehicles.

My brother had a guy come in a couple weeks ago because he just bought an old van and it didn't have OD.

Turns out them pesky C6's never had OD.

I got one the other day for an oil change on a 2011 suzuki sx4? The oil filter is nicely tucked between the exhaust manifold, the cooling fan, and the AC compressor. Checked our repair programs for oil filter removal and couldnt find anything. Internet searches say best way is bend the AC lines out of the way, or remove the fan.

Had one today where a girl thought her transmission was failing, released parking brake and drove fine lol.

One of my friends from highschool went on trip for FFA for a speech competition, the school car was also the drivers ed car so it had the extra brake on the other side (It was a 2009 500/Taurus) Everytime they would leave somewhere he would put his foot on the brake before the teacher got in, she was convinved the car wasn't gonna make it the 60 mile trip. He got caught when they left McDonalds and she had her foot on the brake when he hit it too.

Got one the other day, f250 came in "thump over bumps at high speed". Boss test drove it and confirmed the complaint and said it was coming from behind the drivers seat. So I pull it in and roll under it on my creeper for a quick onceover. Everything is where it should be and tight, look in the bed and sure enough there is a big piece of chain laying on a rubber mat up in the front.

We had a lady who came in complaining that her AC just stopped working in the camry that she bought new.. After looking at for a half of a second we realized she never had AC.. She brought the car back in a few days later and she said that she thought her blinker was going out because it was flashing fast. Her entire headlight assembly had been stolen on her drivers side and she never knew it!

Also in high school we convinced a girl that she was low on, I kid you not "Blinker Fluid"! but to be fair we convinced the same girl there was such a thing as diet donuts..

Probably mentioned earlier, but I always like when people would pull into the shop after filling up with gas, complaining that their car was running funny. Go out remove the gas cap, put it back on "square", customer would leave happy. Usually did this for free (small town shop).

So my car club's (well, I don't have a car, I'm just one of the team mechanics for the show/shine/drag events and general help for any member that needs it for free*) president has a '02 Nissan Altima 4-banger that recently had a no start condition. It's been down a few weeks, I was unaware of any issues, until I noticed it on facebook. The local garage, S&S Enterprises, diagnosed it as a blown headgasket, and he ALMOST sold the car for $1000. I decided to go take a look at it, he is the president and a long time friend of mine, after all. I cleaned the MAF since it was dirtier than my last girlfriend, but I didn't think that would help, since the car should at least start even without one. Well, after a while, I got to googling around the internet, and found the cars have shoddy crank and cam sensors. That wasn't it, as his wife had just changed those herself (yes, she did it alone, no help, such a keeper) a few months ago, plus there was no CEL. I then found the PCV was dirty, dirty, dirty. And stuck. I didn't think that was it, but cleaning it wouldn't hurt anything. Low and behold, the bastard runs. Blown engine my butt.

That crank sensor is kinda a pain in the a$$ to change.
