50 Times Mechanics Were Left Speechless By What Just Rolled Into Their Shop (Best Of All Time)
Frequent readers know that we love to cover the “Just Rolled into the Shop” online group where mechanics share the nonsense folks bring them. So we’ve gathered the best (or worst) examples of cars and other vehicles that might need an exorcism before a mechanic can make any real headway.
So get comfortable as you scroll through, perhaps don’t ignore that check engine light and be sure to upvote your favorite ones. If you have any similar stories of automotive nonsense, feel free to share it in the comments section below.

Just Saved This Lil Guy. I Had To Remove The Front End Of The Vehicle To Do It, But He Is Now Free And Alive And Well

I am not sure that it needed saving. As rabbits can squeese though incredible small holes I suspect he could have got out if no humans was around to stress it. Hope they first tried to leave the car in peace during the night.

Hope the goofy thing lived afterwards. Rabbits are so difficult to keep alive because they will literally just give themselves heart attacks. As a veterinarian from Great British Bake-Off said "They just want to die".
Having a car is a mix of joy and terror. The freedom of driving anywhere anytime, except until a certain sound goes off and you start doing mental calculations on just how much it might cost. Some of these lights that might show up on your dashboard and you wonder just how long the vehicle will stumble on.
Add on top the fact that many mechanics are perhaps not the most honest individuals, and it’s easier to understand why so many people end up driving cars that hardly function properly. One survey found that the majority of Americans are not actually happy with their car service provider, as they feel like issues are overdiagnosed and fixes end up being overcharged.

Someone Came With A Car And This Was In The Trunk. He Said We Can Keep Everything From Inside The Car. I'm Definitely Keeping It
Kevin the Manager 1 year ago
I was 10 or so, and my dad and I were driving from New York to our home in Illinois in his old Volvo (he LOVED old Volvos). It has engine trouble partway home, and we had it taken care of in a small-town shop. I found a gray kitten wandering around the chairs where we were waiting in the garage area. Based on these posts, I should've kept it...

Cats can put themselves in some really weird places. My junior cat recently trapped himself in a kitchen drawer I would have thought was too small for him to stuff himself into in the first place. The hard part was figuring out where in the $%@# he was. Once I managed that feat of intellect, getting him out wasn't bad.

The vast majority of mechanics are not liars. Car owners tend to underestimate just how badly their vehicle is doing. Or perhaps they drive a less commonly found, imported car, which means that any replacement pieces are more expensive then one might think. The real issue, ultimately, is that many drivers simply do not know the first thing about their vehicle and end up being taken advantage of.

Depending on the circumstances, some police departments will check your vehicle for tracking devices for free. About a year ago, someone broke into my car while I was out shopping with my kids. I went inside and called the police. They looked at surveillance footage from the parking lot. Turns out the perpetrator had been tinkering under the hood and body of my car. Police had me drive directly to their forensics building to have someone do a thorough search of my vehicle. They found a small tracking device under my car.

This works for any mammals, (except dead ones) amphibians, and most reptiles. get a bee smoker. Of the type used by beekeepers for when they collect the honey. Alternatively, if you don't have this trouble often, just get a flexible 3/4 inch diameter hose & a horrible smelling cigar. Some people will b***h about the smell, but leave all the doors open & run a shop fan into the interior for 20 - 30 minutes, while lightly spraying a smoke odor air freshener now & then. Additional info when dealing with reptiles. Smoke is bad for their eyes, it has a deleterious effect, moreso than with mammals or insects because of the nictitating membrane.

TIP: Buy the air filters that have the metal screen on the downstream side. I believe the primary purpose is to prevent the paper from being sucked into the engine if the paper fails for some reason - like if it gets wet. But this is another way the paper can fail. One time I changed my filter and found a mouse had chewed a hole like that. But thanks to the metal screen, all of the "fluffy" chewed up bits stayed on the outer side of the filter and didn't get sucked into the engine.

Third Car We've Had Towed In Within A Week For A No Start After Refueling At A Local Gas Station. This Fuel Sample Is About 96% Water
Robert T 1 year ago
It's not fraud. You can't sell fuel containing water, as it won't work as fuel. It usually happens because tanks are underground and rainwater leaks into the tanks due to poor maintenance. They will be 100% liable for any damage to vehicles as a result. I friend of mine had to have many thousands of pounds worth of work done to his brand new performance car after a similar incident. They paid up, but I don't think they expected such a hefty bill.

Humankind has gone insane.

Aircraft. Pilot Landed With His Breaks On
Trisec Tebeakesse 1 year ago
Unlikely. More likely that they landed long and locked up the tires trying not to overrun the end.
martin734 1 year ago
Not that unlikely. It is very easy and fairly common to land with the brakes applied especially with new pilots. Applying a little too much pressure with your toes on the rudder pedal when landing can do this and many small and medium sized aircraft do not have an anti-skid system. Landing with the bakes applied is more common than landing long.
Load More Replies... Lene 1 year ago
I am only learning on BP the difference of breaks and brakes. 😁 English is not my first language and I like learning more. :)
Load More Replies... martin734 1 year ago
Many new pilots do this. The rudder pedal also operates the brakes on most aircraft. Many new pilots are nervous when making their first few landings so they tend to brace against the rudder pedal which can apply the brakes. When I first started flying gliders I used to do this and at first I had to remind myself to use the pedals with my heels so I didn't tilt the pedal and apply the brakes.

Is storing a gun in the glove box or center compartment, with a lot of stuff covering it, out of everyone’s view really that inconvenient? I don’t keep a gun in my car, nor do I have the conceal carry certifications to do so, but I know good and well that THIS is a stupid idea.

My boss bought a brand new RAV4 last year. He picked one the dealer had in stock because he got a really good deal. Boss negotiated a service swap - because that particular car didn't have heated seats, but it did have a locking gun safe in the center console! Swapped the console for a normal one and the service to install/activate the heated seats! In a RAV4! C'mon people!

Just in case there is anyone who doesn't already know this - They make extenders. Air stems come in different lengths and professionals will install the right length.

Why Doesn’t The Heat Work On My Brand New Civic ??

From the O.P:. . . . "So what happened here was, we had a really bad blizzard and customer came in saying that all of their lights were on and the car drove horrible (no heat especially) and when we popped the hood we see this terrific mess of snow like wtf ?? Customer never popped the hood, it was left outside during the storm so looks like it was all the wind that absolutely piled up. And it was PACKED. left it to thaw overnight. Ran normal after everything was dry, no problems since.. a mystery to this day maybe they really did leave the hood open lol idk man"

There are no compulsory annual inspections in my country either. If a car is taken to be serviced, or have tyres changed, and in the opinion of the mechanic, the car is not road-legal then the car can not be driven away.

I saw movement and looked down and saw a kitten just walking around and looking over the side. I got out and was holding on my car so I don't fall off the bridge. Really freaked the lady in front of me when I told her not move her car. The kitten came to me and was really oily. He rode the whole way to the vet with his head shoved into my neck, purring.
