    Car Mechanics Are Sharing Pics Of Crazy Things They Come Across As Proof They Really Happened

    There are over 285 million registered vehicles in the US and this number alone explains why we need many auto mechanics. But here’s a fact: not all car owners know everything about cars. And there’s no shame in that. Besides, you don’t need to become an automotive engineer to drive a car. As long as you have basic knowledge and fundamental skills such as changing a flat tire, checking engine oil and other vehicle fluids, checking the brakes and making sure the headlights and taillights are working. However, more complicated car problems can unexpectedly occur from time to time.

    Most of the time the problem is beyond our capacity to pull off a successful DIY repair. Why is the engine sputtering? What makes the brake system squeak? Why is the steering wheel shaking? If you can’t pinpoint the source of the problem, don’t play Mr. Know-It-All and just take your vehicle to the mechanics. As most of the time you can make the problem worse if you leave it. With that said, you can just imagine how many people are bringing their cars into a garage on a daily basis.

     

    Mechanics share the funniest things they’ve encountered on the job

     

    “Hood Opens. Hood Is Layed Down Immediately. Tech Exclaims ‘Oh Hell No.'”

    And with that, we can only assume that these workers have dealt with all types of customers and vehicles including the absolutely stupid ones. Since mechanics are trained to study all mechanical parts of the vehicle, they are able to diagnose the problem right away and analyze the cause. But sometimes, they can get the biggest surprise by discovering that the vehicle failure is caused by none other than the car owner. A customer complaining of an engine failure just to find out that a possum has built its home under the hood. Or a customer complaining of a flapping noise while driving just to find out that the noise is coming from a flag installed on the driver’s side.
