Funniest Repair Orders you've seen?

[SGTDHS]

Not a repair order but I had someone come ask me to disconnect their header because they wanted their Jeep to sound cool. So I did lol

I've heard open headers on a Trans Am. NOT fun...

Oh, here's something hilarious, if you know bikes...

Friend of mine has just learned to ride. Her bf doesn't, but is one of those guys that pretends to know a bunch about cars, etc. He's acts like a know-it-all.

Anyways, my friend's Ninja won't turn over, even though it's got a full tank. She tries and tries, but can't get it to work. She asks me to come look at it. The bf says it's spark plugs, fuel, choke, carbs...so I look at other measures.

After about 5 minutes of rechecking those items he told me to look at, I looked at the fuel petcock. It was closed off! I throw the petcock to open, crank it, and it fires right up. The bf looked at the bike, looked at the ground, turned, and walked back into the apartment. He still doesn't talk cars with me since. Good. I'm tired of his bullshit.

I guess somehow it got bumped and she didn't know that there was a fuel shutoff valve for servicing or reserve fuel.

I got a call from a guy I worked with to come run him some gas because he had been riding a bike he was fixing for another guy we worked with. Here Pete had been riding 20 miles each way to work and back, for 3 days, on the reserve tank, without realizing it. He ran out on the way to deliver it.

I've forgotten to open the petcock on a bike before and stalled out in the middle of an intersection...pretty embarrassing having to push the bike off the road

Sent from the road while ignoring traffic

Ha! That's sucks! 120 miles will just about do it.

LOL Did that exact same thing once at a light. Had to rolled it off about 5 feet to the right on the shoulder. Embarrassing, indeed.

I was helping a friend of mine with his ranger to put some 33's on it. With that said, his brother came up with his Dakota and he said it was making a squeaking noise inside his cab. Turns out it was a book wedged in his seat lmao.

My Buddy had a body shop repair a Dodge (can't remember the model) for their customer, and part of the process involved replacing the trans cooler. They told my Buddy that they repaired it and delivered it to the customer. The customer called shortly after and said the car no longer moves. Turns out that Dodge has a one way valve to prevent drainback on some models, and the body shop hooked the lines up backwards.

Holy Hell, that sucks! Costly mistake, too. I'm guessing the customer got a new tranny after that.

My neighbor asked if I could put a fuel pump on their explorer as they could not afford a dealer priced repair. I said sure... Then they said they didn't have money for a fuel pump either. I guess that truck is still sitting in their driveway because I turned and ran.

Yes indeed. It was an absolute loss.

Got one the other day. "Please remove excess piping from ceiling in supply area. Piping does not go to any hose stations or chemical/sanitary lines. Starts at capped /locked valve in corner of room."

I got on the lift and looked at the pipes they wanted me to remove. They're the sprinklers.

-_-

I think that one just won the "Darwin" award. What did they want to do with the pipes? Turn them in for the scrap value?

S-

 

[UrbanRedneckKid]

Should have done it, then "accidentally" caused a fire...

 

[koda6966]

No, we don't get a penny for scrap metal there. It was "unsanitary" because the pipes were so high in the air that they could not "clean" the dust off them.

So they need to go buy a ladder is what I am hearing.
