Well, there was this customer who thought his car was haunted. Every time he started it, there was a spooky noise. Turns out, a mouse had made a nest in the engine and was moving around. Another story is about a customer who filled his windshield washer fluid with vodka by mistake. When he tried to clean the windshield, the whole car smelled like a bar.
A customer drove his truck to the mechanic shop. He complained that his truck was shaking violently. After inspection, the mechanic discovered that the customer had put on tires that were completely the wrong size for the vehicle. He had bought them super cheap without realizing they were not for his truck.
Mechanics using counterfeit parts is also a common horror story. A customer believes they are getting quality parts for their vehicle but later finds out that the mechanic used fake parts which can lead to further problems down the road. Also, some mechanics might not be honest about the work they've actually done. They might claim to have replaced certain parts when they really haven't.
There was a customer who left her car at a mechanic shop for a brake repair. When she got it back, the brakes were still not working properly. She found out later that the mechanic had used sub - standard parts. She had to take it to another mechanic and pay double to get it fixed right.
Sure. One funny mechanic story is about a mechanic who accidentally put a car's steering wheel on backwards during a prank on his apprentice. When the apprentice tried to test drive the car, he was so confused and couldn't figure out why the car wasn't turning the way it should.
A mechanic had a customer who insisted that his car smelled like a bakery. After a long search, the mechanic found a half - eaten muffin stuck in the heating ducts. The customer had no idea how it got there. This story always makes me laugh when I think about it.
There was this mechanic who was working on an old truck. When he opened the hood, a family of squirrels ran out. They had been using the engine compartment as their winter home, with a whole stash of nuts in there. It took him a while to clean up the mess and get the truck running properly.
A mechanic was working on a small plane. He had just greased some parts and was about to test it. But when he started the engine, the grease somehow got onto his face. He looked like a clown with all that grease smeared all over. His colleagues couldn't stop laughing when they saw him.
Once, I saw a customer at Walmart trying to fit an enormous inflatable pool into a tiny shopping cart. The pool was half the size of the cart and sticking out all over. He just kept pushing it around, knocking things over, with this determined look on his face.
In a clothing store, a customer tried on a really bright and flamboyant shirt. He then started doing a little dance in the fitting room and when he came out, he pretended to be a fashion model on a runway. Everyone in the store was laughing. He ended up buying the shirt, saying it made him feel like a superstar.
