So we offered to repair the oil leaks and perform an oil change two weeks ago and they declined even filling the oil. Looks like a connecting rod put a nice little hole in the oil pan. No compression on cylinder 1. Poor little Honda.

Wrist pin failure? Something bad happened and sent a rod through the block. 6.0 powerstoke. Only 137 miles from being out of warranty.

If you zoom in you will see: Spoiled containers of milk An old plastic container of shrimp tails Moldy old takeout food containers
The backseat had to be taken out to get to the rear struts. Total ticket was 12 hours. Tech did not refuse, surprisingly.

this was a lube tech trying to see if he could balance a bent wheel. Had to make him replace the lead though, so he wont be doing that again

Had to bend back the retainers to be snug on the new fuse. Must have required a bit of force to get over the detents.

I was uncrating and PDI’ing a 2018 Raptor 700 and found this gem when installing the battery. I’m positive Yamaha could have come up with something better.

It never ceases to amaze me what repairs people decline. And that Sequoia frame ... Wow.

There are some jobs that I don’t mind people turning down, because I’d do the same thing rather than pay somebody to change my just-starting-to-streak wiper blades. This week isn’t a good example of that, though. That tire is particularly scary.

Yeah it is! Also, that blown up Honda, you would have actually fixed. Obviously that person denied the job because they were cheap/thought they were getting ripped off.

I made the cut!
But I’m not sure if it was out of pity, wanting to recognize an Oppo post, or you actually wanted to highlight the post.
Whatever the reason is, I’m honored. I’m also glad you do this series because apparently, I miss out on a lot of posts.

In regard to the Audi 2.0T, that usually only happens, in my experience at least, when the customer who owns the car never actually wrings the engine out. Or they use the wrong gas or a combination of things. They could also completely prevent it by spending a few hundred dollars on the periodic intake service every competent shop says to do. But nooo! They’d rather spend a shit ton more money on injectors and long ass tear down once their car becomes inoperable.
Idiots.

Hey, I’m allowed to be biased towards Oppos. This MY favorite JRitS posts, after all. Besides, this one definitely stood out. The usual vandalism posts that pop up every once in a while are typically something like “CHEATER” scrawled on a Land Rover.
I made the cut!
Which cut did you make? The seat cushion, the back, or the headrest? ;)

The hose... what? Why?

Maybe this shop purchased a bunch of bulk hose, and sent one of their employees to go fetch it without a truck. I imagine the guy having to unreel all that hose just to make it all fit in one trip.

I think you posted a vandalism one last week, and that made me chuckle, but only because I have to wonder how unbelievably pissed the person who did it must have been. I still disagree with everyone saying they probably deserved it; no deserves that.
