Not a repair order. Just the tech my shop replaced (with me).

He had his car towed in with two flat tires. He asked what he should do. They gave him 3 options, air up the tires with the portable tank and drive it in, jack up the vehicle to remove tires and fix them, or to just drive it how it was over to his bay.
Later that day, he backed a customers car into the bay door. They fired him then. Funny enough he went to UTI.

Another UTI story.
Kid brings in his SRT4 Neon or something. A 4 cyl car. He wants to check his plugs. Brings his car in before dinner break, around 5ish. Before we left (give or take 2.5 hours later) he is rushing to put the plugs back in. The teacher is yelling over his shoulder about how "if he was in a shop, this exact thing would be happening. It shouldn't take this long to check spark plugs in a 4 cyl engine. Can you work under this kind of pressure?". He said "This is harder than it looks", while the whole class laughed at him as he rushed to put the engine cover on before the 5 minute bell rang.

See who is becoming (or trying to be) the new mechanics in shops? Nothing but the "best".

I haven't seen any good ones lately.

I had a truck come into the shop overseas, the ticket read "pintle upside down" i returned the ticket saying "pintle designed for use with upside down trailer"

A driver came in after replacing an outer dual, the inner was very very worn, his complaint was the inner tire wasn't as tall as the outer. I told him to water it and make sure it gets plenty of sunshine. He did. 2 days later he came in the shop and got a new tire.

Another good one "trailer brakes inop" all 6 were caged. "caging bolt installed and functioning normally"

The correct response: "Get the shop labor rate guide out and let me know what the RR time is for a set of plugs. If I beat the time? Then SHUT UP".

Let's see that bone head pull that stunt on something like...a Pontiac Fierro (sp) with the transverse V6 in the butt end of the car.

Yeah..that one takes a while to pull the plugs, we used to suggest just replacement while they are already out.

S-

My neighbor asked me to look at his blazer a while back. Told me he had a leak somewhere in his brake system. Sure enough it was dripping brake fluid from right in front of the rear tire so i looked at it and it was coming from right out of the frame... He had a bottle of brake fluid tipped over in the back of his car leaking right through the floor onto the ground.

 

[kcm1582]

Wow that's a new one.

 

[koda6966]

I'm surprised that it leaked through. I had blood sloshing around in the spare tire hold of a car once, didn't leak out.

 

[rockin86ranger]

blood is thicker than brake fluid, or maybe it was water.

Either way i want to here that story

 

[kcm1582]

Agreed. I gotta hear that one.

 

[Rose2300]

Not a repair order but the other day I had To educate an O'reilly's employee on what a Turbo muffler was (He thought it made the car go faster hahahah)

It's not THAT much thicker.

And it's not a really awesome story, just had three freshly gutted deer stuffed in the trunk, and one that didn't get gutted until we got home 10-15 minutes later that was a real bleeder.
