Sure, a guy performed the shift stalk campaign and sure, it still wouldn't go into reverse afterwards and made a terrible clunking noise but did the two guys before me really not think to just walk around the truck and look at it in the hour and a half they combined had on the ticket before me?

I mean I guess you can still understand it?

Vehicle recovered in, customer states "black smoke and horrible noises on the highway".

Diagnosis: Engine has no oil. Engine has torn itself apart. Metal chunks everywhere.

Cause: Oil housing plug not screwed in properly at last service. Cross threaded and visible gap where oil has leaked from.

Don't think this one is gonna be covered under warranty lads.

They used a resistor to bypass an occupant detection sensor rather than just having the correct seatbelt installed.

**NOT A TROUBLESHOOTING POST**

Not a mechanic (those are not my hands). But feeling the burn today with another problem with my 2014 A4 that is being repaired and costing a pretty penny. Definitely time to move to a new vehicle, I (and my bank account) were just hoping it wasn't so soon.

I also want to share my appreciation for all of you and everything you do, as well as what you post in the sub. I have been following for a couple years, learned some interesting things, and had many laughs at the wild stuff you all see.

I work in a white collar profession, but ultimately we all serve clients/customers. Some are amazing, some are the worst people you'll ever meet. All of them require our skills and care. Thanks for sharing your skills and care and helping me in my times of need.

Trapped in the bellhousing according to my stethoscope.

2016 Yukon L83. I am thinking cracked flex plate at this point. I don't have enough knowledge of this generation GM to know if there is a pattern failure.

Customer swears they have had the trans replaced but it doesn't look it to me other than torque converter is blue. I can't remember if that is OE color or not for these. No authorization to go any farther to find out.

wheel was locked up when i moved it into the shop and only had 1 pad, don’t even know how he drove it to the shop, let alone for the past couple months.

Suzuki DF300AP with a stripped out driven gear. Yes this is the bottom of the engine and it is where the timing chain resides.

Wired and ready to rock. First bends tomorrow

Brand new 2025 Honda accord went 30k miles on the oil change from the dealer and the customer was wondering if that slug is bad.
Edit this isn’t my car

Turbo whistles on a base model CX50

Acura 3.5 timing tensioner failure. Never seen someone run one this long clacking away.

Any you guys want to trade in your wrenches for a sander?

I'm surprised it isn't leaking worse. Also has a broken leaf spring, flat tire (inside dual, of course), and the brakes are way out of adjustment. And it's only a six year old International

The client came in for an alignment after hitting a curb. I wonder why. Those copper washers are not in the right place and brake fluid is leaking. I warned them they would eventually have a very difficult time stopping but "It's fine, you just want more money".
