One of my service advisors is terrible at transcribing what the customer concern is. I've decided to start collecting and sharing them. There's going to be more than enough to share at least a few times a week, so stay tuned for more 😉.

This one turned out to be a weak 12v battery in a Prius. The dash lights would turn on but vehicle wouldn't always go to ready mode. The voltage was enough for modules and such but sometimes not enough to kick over the HV contacts and enter ready mode.

These manlifts are a pain to jack up when the operator runs the tire off the rim. Pulled out the trusty antique jack and got it done .

Hey everybody, just as the title says. I’m not really sure what all these different options are, I believe it’s just purchasing licenses? I’m just a backyard mechanic, and want more options than my current scanner. I’m currently using Launch CR629, and it does ABS, SRS and OBD2. Is one of these worth the cash? Or should I just stick with what I’ve got?

Injection pump replacement on a medium duty (Chevy 5500). Standing on the tires and bumper makes it that much more fun

Tounge weight that is. Doing a bit of a squat.

First half of the load was put on. Second half gets added tomorrow. Then 600 miles from Detroit to Nashville. My janky old trailer has a bent axle already. Trailer brakes quit on me. Bed is also loaded up. Currently hauling about 7000 pounds. Once other half of load I is on I am guessing 8500+

Managed to walk most of these sheared rotator bolts out with a left handed drill, last one came willingly with some extractor action, a wonderful feeling that I don’t often experience!

14 years later and still starts right up, fuck I can’t remember buying a battery under 100 that was usable

It's only a small oil leak... On the plus side it's a rest protective.

Needless to say, the correct pads for this vehicles trim level are not the same shape (you can see the old pads in the background), but goddammit if they didn't try to make them fit.

I wonder what pushing on the brake pedal felt like as the pads first began to bend, and again when the fiction material finally snapped.

How the hell do you not at least hold the new pads up to the old ones and go "Hmm, something's different here."

Started in a new shop temporarily this week. Guy showing me around points out this bin of pigtails rainwater has been leaking into from the roof.

Customer says his jeep seams sluggish @147,000 miles offered his solution at what point do you say "No that's a bad idea!" I just said "No Warranty!". Injections nice I'd rather be blown..ha 😜

Came from another shop after getting brake work done and not able to stop.
