There are times when all you need is an oil change, and you’re good to go. But on the other hand, you know the stars aren’t aligned when your car begins to act strange.
When that happens, don’t wait. Get it to the shop ASAP because you don’t want to wait until this happens, lol.
1. This Surprise
“Hood opens. Hood is layed [ sic ] down immediately. Tech exclaims — Oh HELL NO.”
Oh my goodness, haha. When was the last time somebody opened up the hood of this car? It must’ve been a while, huh? I don’t blame this tech at all.
2. And This Double Suprise
This is what happens when the car you’re about to service comes with two subwoofers, lol. Get it? It’s my attempt to make a joke? I hope you liked it. But seriously, I would take these guys home with me.
3. These Baby Tires
“Customer bought wheels and tires online. After advising multiple times that the tires are too small for his SUV he insisted for us to put them on.”
Oh, yeah. That totally fits. I wonder if this guy just rolled out like this.
4. This Exhaust Issue
Can you check my exhaust— it sounds funny?
Haha, you can say that again. Am I right? Somehow I don’t think this is the kind of fix-up that will hold up very much. But I guess in a pinch, it will do, huh?
5. And This Exhaust Fix
If you’re a cash-strapped student and find yourself with a leaky exhaust pipe, this fix here might suffice. Don’t quote me on it, though. I wouldn’t want to get you in trouble, haha. Okay? Now, go.
6. This Sad One
Well, this rolled into the shop, and as sad as it is to say — I think it’s time to put a fork in that one. What do you say? I think this car has seen better days.
7. This Rare Occurrence
So I’m not a mechanic, therefore, I wouldn’t have noticed anything strange here. But apparently, this is quite the rare occurrence to see a rotor with a groove from a ball bearing. Have you seen something like this before?
8. This Unexpected Passenger
I bet auto shops see a lot of unusual things when the cars get dropped off. I’m just not sure if this is something the tech should have been expecting or not. What do you think, haha?
9. This Bird’s Nest
Seriously, how do people not realize there are animals living in their cars? Huh? I just don’t get that. Don’t you ever look under the hood? If you did, you might’ve discovered this. I feel bad for this mama bird.
10. This Reason Why “The Car Won’t Start”
Who knew there was such a thing that starts your car, huh? Ha, ha. Well, the good news is that once this part is fixed, it will be good as new. So don’t worry about it.
11. This End Of The Line
“Sister-in-law told me in August her car was making a high pitch noise in the back. She finally dropped it off yesterday.”
Um, I don’t think there’s a prayer in this world that could save that car.
12. This Lesson Learned
“You mean those little flat thingies that came in the box were important?”
“Starter from a chevy small block. Custom exhaust made it a real bitch to get the starter in, thought I was ok to not worry about the shims. I’m guessing this failure was because the clearance was too tight. Flywheel seems ok, but yeah. Lesson learned.”

13. This Obvious Sign Of Trouble
“I think my friend was due for new pads and rotors.”
What do you think? Is it a wise choice or not? Would you push your luck and ride on that or get on it ASAP?
14. This Not So Funny Situation
Quick, here’s a joke for you.
Customer stated he needed a punctured tire repaired. What did the mechanic tell him? That he was screwed, lol.
I know this isn’t a laughing moment, but I just couldn’t help it.
15. This Reality
If you’re a parent, I bet you totally get it. After all, aren’t all parents just winging it anyway? Well, if you can relate to this honk one time, if you can’t, don’t honk at all, lol.
16. This Car In Dire Straits
If you don’t think a car shop is essential, tell that to the guy who drove in like that. I bet he’ll tell you otherwise. Oh my goodness. I wonder how long he had to drive like that.
17. This Tire Situation
When your tires are so worn out that you can see your own reflection in them, you know it’s time to change them, no? Apparently, this car shop customer refused on a rainy day, mind you. Wow!
18. This Explosive Situation
Okay, first of all, how did this tire not explode by now? And second of all, who can somebody drive on it at all? I’m so confused and at the same time baffled by this, haha.
Wow, just when I thought I couldn’t see any worse car pics, then these showed up.
What do you think? Should they attempt to fix the issue here or call it a day, haha? Are you the type of person who takes care of your car, or are you a free-for-all kind of guy or gal?
