I actually believe it. I have seen that kind of crap happen to other people's vehicles at certain shops. People can be lazy and be horrible at their job or a shop can be extremely cheap.

I have one: customer came in for a basic lube. Our service tech (a master service tech, btw) rotated his tires, changed his oil and filter in about 30 minutes. This was like a vascular surgeon being asked to take a basic blood tap from a patient. The customer received his car then called the police stating that we stole his wheels and neglected his oil change because no one can do such a service in such a time. Customer had custom wheels and claims that we replaced them with factory wheels. He drove a Toyota FRS. The police came, investigated the security cameras then customer proceeded to pull a male karen for longer than the servicing took to complete. Police left and the guy stood sulking for another 10 minutes glaring at ALL of us; like we were mobsters or something. Then he left. This was one of my favorite things working at a servicing department: so freakin' entertaining :D lol

Had a similar situation. It was near closing time, and guy was on his phone, and ignored us when we asked if he wanted anything other than an oil change. We were done in less than 9 minutes, and he accused us of not even doing anything but charging him for the service just the same. Showed him the fresh oil, said I'd dipped his dipstick in a bottle of fresh oil, not the engine. I was like, "Really? I was standing two feet away from you. You *watched* me check it, wipe it, check it again and walk it over to you."

GET OFF THE ROAD

Friendly reminder that semi truck tires are not to be messed with. Use a proper inflation cage when airing up an unknown tire. Even if it just came off of a truck fully inflated. Keep your distance and don't be anywhere near the trajectory of the tire if it were to blow. I've had 3 blow in close proximity to me. Each one restrained. Scares new techs when they hear it for the first time. One of the first things we teach them is the sounds to listen for. But even then sometimes they blow without warning.

​@@bluezitrone9731 If the tire had been previously on a truck, many things could lead to failure and blow. The most common cause for explosion in my experience is when a driver continued to drive on a flat tire for several miles. This causes what's known as a zipper blowout. The steel cords inside the tire get stressed as they're being manipulated in a way outside of their intended behavior. They will bend and twist until the air pressure inside the tire becomes too great to hold it back and ultimately blows. Tires that are old, dry-rotting, cuts in the sidewall, etc can also lead to failure. It's important to inspect tires for scuffs, cuts, bruises, darkening, hissing, and weird noises. These are all warning signs that a tire could blow. You'll often hear the sound of rubber bands snapping or popcorn when those steel cords start to break internally. You may only get a second or two at most of warning before a tire blows. Sometimes they can also just go instantly without warning. The air valves are usually not near the tire so air can be shut off from a distance if you do hear signs. Sometimes you can even see the sides start to bubble out. But for the safety of other techs, I tend to let them blow if it is safe to do so, while in a cage, with no one near it. A few months ago we even heard one start to go, stopped the air, and grabbed the two new techs we had and let them blow up. Good learning experience.

@@yahiravila3639 I had one late last year I had just walked away from it, about 70psi and it went without a warning. A few weeks after that one, another blew without any warning while I was standing next to the cage. Thankfully it was a zipper and blew on the side I wasn't standing on. I would have broken my leg at minimum with how hard that one went. I've only had 1 brand new tire blow. A few virgin tires and a few recaps.

My mom worked at a hospital, and one day she called me because she heard a cat in her car and she didn't want to move it. I found a kitten in the wheel well, but I had to remove a wheel and fender well to get it out. I didn't want to leave him in a parking lot, so I started the car and left him inside while I put the car back together. The little sucker climbed way up inside the dash because it was still scared, I had to remove a bunch of duct work to get him out of there. I named him Trouble.

For whatever reason I felt like I needed to hit the gas cause if not the rear right tire on his trailer would blow sending shit through my windshield at her. No idea why I thought this. So I do and as soon as I pass by that tire, it explodes and sheds apart sending it right where I was and would have gone where I thought..

All the little ice cubes would fall out of the grill, and we were good for another 20-25 miles, which took about a hour.

Thankfully most guardrails these days are designed to deflect on impact, and all the older ones that have an inadequate bend and buffer system on them are being replaced. Minimum these days is the fully rounded buffer that's deflected about 45-90 degrees to the side already, while preferably an attenuator device or a flat push pad that deflects the guardrail internally should be used

The other tyre fitters used to laugh at me for using the safety cage and standing behind the brick wall when inflating split rims, the last two videos are why I always did this! One fellow I worked with used to squat on top of the wheel while inflating it, with the safety rim facing towards him.

Best part is that there's no reason to use disk brakes on the back of a daily driver Civic. The vast majority of the braking is done by the front brakes and the drums are more than adequate. If you are overheating the rear drums, you're doing something you shouldn't be doing even with disk brakes.

@@Crosshair84 that’s absolutely true. “Golden era” Hondas from the 80’s and 90’s in particular are pretty meticulously engineered and it goes without saying weight bias etc are taken into consideration during the design process. However: Honda also made cars, such as the Civic Si, which executed the same such meticulous design which had rear disc brakes. I suppose the idea is that if you do a “swap” of a powertrain of a civic base model to one from a Civic Si or Acura Integra you may as well follow up with a likewise brake upgrade. Example if you have a 99 Civic DX and you put a b16a from the 99 Civic Si into it, you’ve added almost 60 horsepower, as well as adding about a hundred pounds under the hood. Adding the larger front brakes, rear disc brakes and larger wheels from the Civic Si makes sense.
