Auto Workshop Trips Will Never Be the Same! Mechanics Share Crazy On-the-Job Stories
Getting Down to Business
Sometimes, putting yourself first is essential, but this mechanic proved to be genuinely dedicated to getting the job done, no matter what. During an engine swap on a Ford F150, he abruptly left the job unattended, leaving the customers and coworkers hanging for an hour.
He continued his work right away when he returned, although it seemed like he was having some trouble. On questioning, he revealed that he’d just gotten his wisdom tooth extracted. It’s impressive that he could return to work quickly after the procedure.
Closet on the Road
It’s easy to make a habit of collecting clutter. Who needs a waste can when you leave empty packets in your vehicle? This customer had the same idea. When this owner brought in their vehicle with coolant issues, the mechanic faced a car filled to the brim with garbage.
The front seat was barely visible under the mountain of debris. Thankfully, a kind-hearted mechanic took care of the job, or else this hazard of an automobile would be running wild on the roads.
Finding Dory
Stopping an automobile is usually a silent affair, but if there’s a noise, it’s usually a screeching sound. This man’s rear brakes had a distinctive way of communication, though. When he explained the situation to the maintenance specialists, they couldn’t help but laugh.
The vehicle must be in serious need of repair if it resorted to reaching out for help in a fishy manner. The mechanics seemed to have a heap of work cut out for them. Hopefully, the car runs swimmingly after the trip to the workshop.
Breakfast On Wheels
A lot of people have a policy of keeping food away from automobiles. It’s undoubtedly a good practice. After all, no one wants spilled drinks in their leather seats. This person apparently had different ideals, as they decided to have breakfast while working on their vehicle.
Perhaps they thought cereal would make an excellent home remedy for their car, saving them some money. Instead of fixing the problem, they ended up with a soggy and unappetizing breakfast. But hey, at least they’re creative.
Shine Bright Like a Diamond
When learning to drive, knowing how to take care of your vehicle is essential. Tires are one of the main things that should be checked regularly. Apparently, this woman was unaware of that fact. Her tires were excessively worn out.
Despite the mechanic’s warning, the car owner was stubborn about replacing the dangerous tires. The mechanic snapped a rare selfie in the reflective tire before convincing the owner to get new tires. The shiny, worn tires may have looked cool, but they would have been treacherous to drive on.

Till Death Do Us Part
Everyone has that one trusty thing that could surpass all hardships, or so they’d like to believe. So it wouldn’t make sense to replace it. This man thought the same about his vehicle. He assumed that his ride could endure the rocky roads.
Finally, the owner brought the car after speeding around for three days. Unsurprisingly, he was unaware of the whereabouts of his spare tire. It’s a coincidence that the mechanic pulled out a completely new spare from the trunk.
Dad Humor at Its Finest
Parents can have a sarcastic sense of humor. After all, dealing with little kids every day requires some out-of-the-box jokes. This parent is no different. The sticker will surely make many people smile, especially fellow parents.
Of course, the decal must be taken with a grain of salt. No guardian in their right mind would be irresponsible enough that their kids get in such danger. But the original purpose of the joke was achieved, as the mechanic found it funny and shared it on social media for everyone to enjoy.
Don’t Mind Me
Dealing with an issue can be easy if an experienced individual looks over your shoulder. The required training doesn’t need to be from a past job; just staring at the mechanic while he does his work can count as experience too!
This pup (with her boundless knowledge) kept an eye on the task entrusted to her by the owner; make sure the car got fixed. Who in their right mind would ever think of duping a furry companion? Not this mechanic, that’s for sure.
An Invoice to Remember
A correct analysis can save technicians from many headaches. But it can be problematic when a customer fails to convey their issue correctly. Not for this mechanic, though, as he took this opportunity to unleash his comedic skills.
In the diagnostic report for a service invoice, the worker let his creativity loose. A “herky-jerky” steering in a car sounds like a disaster in the making. Hopefully, the owner won’t have to face this problem again after the excellent service received..
In Case of Emergency, Pull the String
There are many situations where things get stuck in an unfortunate position, and the only way to proceed is by pulling some strings. However, this man took the saying way too seriously, as he attached a rope to his malfunctioning accelerator.
The mechanics couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw the makeshift remedy. Indeed everyone was thankful that this car was finally in the repair shop instead of wreaking havoc on the roads. Kudos to the owner for putting up a sign, though.
