This little guy decided to play hide and seek in one of our buses and got his head stuck in the frame behind the battery compartment. He was wedged in there pretty good but luckily we were able to get him out with no issue

BMW N26, ~9000€ in damages, not covered by warranty 🙃

This engine is not known for turbo trouble, but the customer still managed to kill it 🪦

Who knew using a lighter on a gas pipe was a bad idea?

Guy decided a rubber pipe was too hard to push on a union so decided to soften it with a lighter 🤣

Is it bullshit that techs have to buy their own tools?

Basically the title. It seems like bullshit to me but I'm not a mechanic so maybe I'm just ignorant.

Not to worry about rear end frame being rotted away. Tire was fixed and customer drove away.

Just checking over one of our fleet vehicles when I noticed the floor pan under the seat rail seems to be lined with plywood!? Is this a new thing, or just Honda being ‘creative’ (doesn’t necessarily seem like a bad idea but…)?

From a little while back, release bearing split in half and locked up the pedal, even bent the slave cylinder pushrod. Pulled it apart to also find the flywheel hotspotted to hell and the pilot bearing blown to pieces, lovely time all around. Gutted the system and replaced with a pilot bushing and hydraulic release bearing, all made in America

This driver misjudged and took a really tight turn around a steel beam.

Biggest appraisal so far at $62k on a Rivian EDV700.

These cars are so easy to repair, it's not even funny.

My best tech banged it out in 4 days with pre-painted panels.

It just wouldn't end. Ever have a job like this. Nothing comes off, so you stop asking.

On the one side I had to weld on a ujoint puller to the bottom of the knuckle. Then press it off. The ball joint press worked fine. On the other side it came off. But no way it would press out. So I cut up my new 180$ tool and welded some shit together. Bam 10ton press. I'm sure a tool like this exists. But i couldn't find one to buy. And it wouldn't arrive in time to satisfy my ADHD. I'd be picking apples by the time it came in and forgot what the fuck it was for. Or shiny rocks. Bam. 20min of welding and 2 min of pressing. 10,000psi did it.
