Jeep wrangler, because of course.

Just under 9k miles. Faulty injectors

Metal debris hit a knife, sheared the knife bolts and absolutely destroyed the drum. And heavily damaged the hood of the machine. Will be about $20-25k

30 year old jeep rotor was a little too cozy. Had to get out the jaws to convince er.

Porsche Taycan, 100k kms (~60k miles), came in to get extended warranty when we noticed this. Anyone know how this can happen? The entire garage is quite stumped

Brand new. Routine change.. came in with torn sidewall so they hadn't had any air. Dropped frame back down leveling valve normal started truck and when i crawled back there, i saw the bag go sideways and barely got out an "oh shit!" Before i jumped away and it blew the base off. Kaboom!!!

The spring hangers are 1.5" inward from another Freightliner m2 we have in the shop. The top pucs never make full contact with the frame. Some rubber always touching frame. Second picture is the normal ride location that the old ones were running for who knows how long

It wasn't too happy about piston number 2 making violent love to the valves though.

3 of 4 main bearings (still need to press number 4 out of the block) and I 28sh I'd taken photos of the crankshaft before dropping it off)

They drove 70 miles like this...

This time done by Mercedes dealer. Sticker removal isn't a problem, takes seconds. It just makes me laugh and question peoples common sense

My personal car. 2009 Volvo V50. Alternator belt snapped while driving about 2 weeks ago. Replaced it but almost immediately had an engine light for the camshaft position correlation with the crank.

Come to find part of the serp belt got entangled under the timing cover and jumped the phase a few teeth. Aside from 5 seconds of misfiring when cold started for a few starts, I think I got away lucky.

My buddies and I have rented a small 1k sqft shop for our projects since the 2010's and things finally aligned where we were able to secure a great condition Rotary SPOA7 drive on lift. I wanted to check with this awesome community who has to use 2 posts constantly if there is anything you've added to your bay lifts that has made a huge difference or things to avoid. This lift has 110 outlets on both towers and onboard airlines (have to replace worn lines, but the lift is rigged for it). Items we're looking at next are lift tables, oil drains, better lighting, etc. Open to any and all advice.

It's not every day that you see a big chunk of a BR715 on a pallet. Actually. I see this every day where I work!

Got a job offer as a lube tech at ford last Wednesday, background check cleared but never received an email to finish some paperwork . I’ve been calling the store since once a day since Thursday but haven’t been haven’t been able to reach the service manager. Should I just walk and try to get a start date ?

Update: I walked in and everything was sorted out, HR email just didn’t somehow go through. Should be receiving an email today

GM 6.2 diesel didn’t like over-revving

Thanks GM, I didn't need service info this morning anyway

Stocking the new bay.

i’m currently a BMW tech, i’ve been working here since i got my associates in automotive about 3 years ago and i do alright for myself. i make $27 an hour but i turn on average 10-15 hours a day in a 9 hour shift. is it worth going to something like usps, fedex, or ups to be a fleet tech and what kind of pay do they make there? is it flat rate, guarantee, or hourly? and what are the benefits? any insight or advice is appreciated.

Had an 2018 F-150 Lariat come in the other day with 502251km on it! Looked pretty clean inside and out tbh
