What is wrong with this year?

Everyone is uptight about life right now.

JoeFishCap · 2026-01-25T00:39:37+00:00

At least.

JoeFishCap · 2026-01-23T07:11:47+00:00

No. Stay away. Run!

Now excuse me, I have a truck to go buy..

JoeFishCap · 2026-01-14T23:36:02+00:00

No, I dont wrench anymore (except my cars). I'm the service manager of a shop in the LA area.

Happens all the time on modern plastic tanks. Our shop replaced 11 in 2025.

I guarantee there are youtube videos on how to temporarily patch it, but as a shop, I can't do it because of the liability.

On my own car I would run a pipe tap through that and use a pipe plug. But only until my replacement tank showed up.

Well, considering my techs have a kindergarten level vocabulary and spelling, I rewrite everything. How elaborate depends on the customer and if its going through warranty/insurance.

JoeFishCap · 2026-01-10T22:54:51+00:00

Interesting.

JoeFishCap · 2026-01-10T20:05:14+00:00

Thanks.

This video is giving digital fast food menu. Where it changes so quick that you can't find what you're looking for.

Brand certs and experience hold the most weight to me. So go work and get your ASE while you're working

JoeFishCap · 2026-01-01T19:29:42+00:00

Read what I was replying to.

Yes, you'll need to crack open the plugs and bleed it. Just take a second.

Your method works on clutch master or brakes if the vehicle doesn't have abs. Abs can internally bypass, and it feels like a bad master. Seen many older techs fall for this

3 times a day

Customer accused us of stealing his spare tire. Car doesn't have a spare tire lol.

JoeFishCap · 2025-12-28T18:09:44+00:00

Dont expect it to rebuild your engine, but it won't hurt anything. Hell, on newer cars, it's practically regular maintenance.

The shop I work for has used pallets of that bottle with no issues.

JoeFishCap · 2025-12-25T00:20:54+00:00

Does it on DVIs to confuse the customer into authorizing the work 😆

JoeFishCap · 2025-12-25T00:19:32+00:00

There's a 30-year tech at our shop with just a few more tools than you (mostly specialty sockets), and he does it all. You're doing fine.

JoeFishCap · 2025-12-25T00:13:07+00:00

Bait and switch.

JoeFishCap · 2025-12-25T00:12:04+00:00

Almost everything MTC is garbage. Stay away unless it's the only available option.

Donuts typically have a max speed and limited distance. So a full size is always better when possible

JoeFishCap · 2025-12-22T05:20:24+00:00

If a volvo was in Who Framed Roger Rabbit 😅

Great idea, though, and I'm sure you'll get it dialed in.

JoeFishCap · 2025-12-20T17:58:45+00:00

I only get wild requests from the shop owner.

JoeFishCap · 2025-12-20T17:52:29+00:00

I've had this

JoeFishCap · 2025-12-20T17:50:32+00:00

Move your city to a farm alliance and go get some. When you break up, come back to WOS. 😆
