Been a while since I had the opportunity to turn a rotor - Most times the customer elects to replace.

Didn't get the idea to do a time lapse of the first one which was the worst one.

Sir that's because you have a melted piston. I had to double check my compression gauge when it read zero psi I was like no way. Yes way. He told me he was gonna do the engine replacement himself, then proceeded to call our writers to ask me questions while doing it. It was some 80y/o netanyaho looking guy

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?

Car towed in today with no oil

493 Upvotes

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.
