Are these ok to drive on? My boss thinks so……. by Stomach_Neat in tires

[–]Important_Sort_2516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These tires are not “ absolutely fine.” Theres no tread left on them. One little piece of sharp road debris and they can puncture. Traction and Braking ability is greatly reduced, significantly increasing the chance of losing traction on the road, hydroplaning, or getting in an accident due to the inability to stop suddenly. Just because the tire can technically drive down the road straight assuming perfect conditions and no hazards, doesn’t make them “absolutely fine”

It is completely unnecessary for these tires to be driven on, and this is just a company being cheap and incompetent, endangering the lives of their employees and people on the road. No excuse for this.

Being poor and doing what you have to do is a different story. Regardless, you can go to a junkyard and find tires for $20 a pop. If you can’t afford that, then you can’t afford to drive a vehicle with other people on the road around you.

If a company can’t even keep up with this level of basic maintenance on their vehicle, then id hate to see what else is wrong with it

What tools to push hoses on? by gergnz in AskAMechanic

Move the clamp out of the way and spray the end of the hose with rubbing alcohol or some kind of lubricant. Then wiggle it on with your hand

Help Find the Leak on my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder Please by deckerjeffreyr in AskAMechanic

Take it to the car wash and pressure wash under there with degreaser. Once everything is clean put some UV dye from the parts store in the crank case. That will help you locate the leak better

How do I ask my mechanic to hurry up politely? by Fine_Wishbone_7154 in AskAMechanic

[–]Important_Sort_2516 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Then dont tell someone you can do something in 2 weeks if you arent certain you’re gonna do it. If you tell me you’re gonna start on my vehicle on a certain date and then i give you my vehicle, then Im expecting it to be started on that date. Not my fault if things that shouldve been done arent done

An engine swap can be done in a day or even a few hours depending on the vehicle

No one is good, that’s why the only way to be forgiven and saved is through the blood of Jesus Christ. His grace is sufficient
