Car Mechanics Are Sharing Pics Of Insane Things They Find In The Cars

Car Mechanics

There are more than 285 million registered vehicles in the US and this number alone tells us why we need many auto mechanics. But here’s a fact: not all car owners know everything about cars. Besides, you don’t need to become an automotive engineer to drive a car. As long as you have a basic understanding and basic 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. Most of the time the problem is beyond our capacity to do a successful DIY repair. Why is the engine makes this noise? What makes the brake system squeal? Why is the steering wheel vibrating? 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 guess how many people are taking their cars into a workshop on a daily basis.

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.
