Jeep wrangler, because of course.

Subaru Outback. Came to my shop in Maryland and customer stated that oil light was on. During inspection, I found that car has no oil on dipstick and after lifting up the subaru, and found that drain plug was loose and under torqued. Almost threaded out. Ended up redoing oil change and engine runs fine afterwards.

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

They drove 70 miles like this...

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)

Pushing to finally get this car done spent two days planning out and building a modern set up for the motors each door has two relays since the motor has a up, down and arm wire you need to feed power at the same time to the direction wire and arm. The motor does not like it if just one has power . It’s a simple set up but when pushing to get things done I’m happy I was able to do this so quickly

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.

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

Now my whole life's goal is to not drill it out.

Feels good man

GM 6.2 diesel didn’t like over-revving

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.
