On You Tube, there is an entire channel devoted to that topic.
I think that most mechanics will be able to appreciate seeing the bizarre problems (mostly caused by the car’s owner… ) on vehicles that “just rolled in”. Enjoy!

Certainly. The sad thing is that as many of the funny/stupid things have come from other shops!
Another shop towed in a Mustang for me to get running. They said it was flooded and couldn’t figure it out. Sure! How hard can it be to install some dry spark plugs and diagnose a no start?
Turns out “flooded” meant car was stolen and found nose down in the river, with muddy water up to and including the ECM.

Obviouslyou don’t know much.
Those tires also dig into deep snow from the sides.
That new brake pad also creates additional friction, copying what is done on railroad wheels.
I am not a pro mechanic but that is a book I would buy.

I just replace the four wheel drive switch in my truck. My brain is imagining me totally screwing up, having the truck towed to dealer for a $$$$ repair. It took me five minutes, works perfectly.

Isn’t there a common-sense saying that goes something like “If something can go wrong, it will”? … lol … If this saying is accurate, bad news, b/c there are certainly a lot of ways to make a mistake during car repairs.
For some reason we do the 3rd on that list more then we should on here it seems…

That list left off one VERY important thing . . .
Last time I checked, people crave steak and potatoes, chips, soda and candy bars
People don’t crave lettuce, water and carrots

- Clearly a manufacturing defect. The sidewall bubbles should be equal sized all the way around.
- Obviously, they mounted a right-side pad on the left side wheel.
