    knew a mechanic that called these cars an 'Itchy Bitchy'

    I definitely wouldn't have declined. I'd of had you swap it with the right rear. Less jiggly and out of sight out of mind.

    Is there a time when you have told a customer they cannot drive their car out of the shop?

    full falcon au 1998 ??

    This cars tires are bald and not good inside. He may have wanted used tires but the rear tires are in good shape .Cheapness gets you nowhere.

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars GARY OSBORNE says:

    I might understand if it was a $2000 repair but a tire is about as cheap as one can expect. He probably will go out and look for another used tire for 40 bucks. Recommend Craig’s list. I bet he can find a decent 20 year old tire somewhere that will separate again in the first 100 miles.

    The tire basically has a hernia.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Turteru Gamer says:

    I see this happen way too often. Tell the customer they need a new tire and they just can't seem to fathom the thought that their tire is junk. Always asking why the tire is no longer serviceable but then you tell them why and they deny all of it. Had one example, customer came in with a BMW 328i with Run-flat type tires and one was blown out. Customer asked how it could happen and so I told them they either hit a pothole or a curb. The guy immediately denied hitting anything and demanded we replace it for free and that it was a "manufacturer" defect and it just blew randomly. These tires are meant to be driven on flat for only a short period of time as they take the place of the spare tire. Customers just being cheap and didn't want to spend money

    that 'itsi-bitsi' haa a severe nervous twitch…lol

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bruce Woods says:

    In Australia this wouldn’t be allowed out of the shop

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian Davies says:

    In the UK, a defect like this that threatens safety, the mechanic by law couldn't release to the customer in receiving condition, no waiver to sign.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Barry Thomas says:

    So you are letting an unroadworthy car back onto the road ?

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Bland says:

    Wow. Declined service. What a knucklehead.

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Taylor says:

    Wow. Looking at the front tires it looks like the driver enjoys going well past the sell-by date on his tire treads. 🙂 Maybe (if it's a front-wheel-drive car) he likes to do burnouts at the light. 😛

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Koskie says:

    Wow. Just wow.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eric Scaillet says:

    Why not just put the spare on….

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paulo Forged says:

    This type of customer needs reporting to the vehicle standards agency. If every garage like yours had backup of the law and were allowed to detain until fixed then you could price match the cheaper quote and at least gain the sale and work. Ultimately sending the customer out back onto the road safe and ensuring others safety also.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars JayBee says:

    That tire is pretty worn out .. The back tires were in good condition tho … Why isn't the passenger side turning it's a front wheel drive car

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aether togoddy says:

    why is the other tire not moving?

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ViolentLotus says:

    I had a tire do this many years ago. Little 93 Nissan Sentra. I was shocked that a tire problem could cause such a problem. Stopped into Sears the day it started, rolled out with four new tires. It was so inexpensive to get tires on that little car. I even got the decent ones. Should have done it way before that day, though.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Real Green Monsta says:

    Seems completely normal for a Mitsubishi

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sweet68Camaro says:

    Those tires were bald to Begin with

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Whittaker says:

    Your in the No state inspection state there is a lot worse out and about you

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Noränd says:

    -Sir your car is unsafe to drive.
    -Ok perfect just wanted to make sure, don't touch anything.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mark Shillinglaw says:

    Can you not stop the customer from driving it as it’s dangerous

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joseph bradshaw says:

    It’s easier to spot a bad tire with a high spot just by looking for the most bald part of the tire. Usually it happens on nearly the sidewalls or right on.

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff Stanhope says:

    Subscribed. Not because you asked me to, but because you are a great mechanic.

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vuli says:

    this is new precaution sistem, so you dont fall a sleep while driving.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sempa says:

    Well… Had basically the same problem with my E46
    But the shake was even more violent
    Turned out
    Front left brake kaliper was seized
    Overheated the rotor and warped it
    Was nasty
    And not that cheap
    Needed new pads and rotors anyways

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars genconex says:

    Probably just going to roll dirty after slapping the spare donut tire on it.

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Patriot70 says:

    The guy really wanted to fix the car as long as it only costs $3. Now he'll have to go sit and wait again wherever he ends up buying a tire and will only save $3.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Chessell says:

    I get the feeling that you have been ‘discovered’ and are now being used as free diagnosis by the sociopaths that seem to be on the upswing in our society. Love your videos. May the Lord bless you with more people who revere your talents through the complete job!

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Southpawsgarage says:

    TAPPY TAPPY….LOL…

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vivian Parslow says:

    An egg head with his matching tyre.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars PecanPir8t says:

    Amazing – I know others have said it's possible the customer thought they could get a better deal on a tire replacement somewhere else, but it feels so moot when you're already paying labor costs… Good educational/instructional for those who haven't seen separation before :thumbsup:

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Phil Spear says:

    Hope you charged him good for your time.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Superfluous Prepper says:

    People pay for a diagnostic service then get someone else to fix it cheap and with cheap parts. I see it all the time.

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Raymond Holley says:

    He's going to go buy him a $25 used Tire if you're worried that much about it you could have lower the air pressure in the tire and put it on the back it would have been safer

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Kay says:

    I am now part of the experiment

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Darryl Shaw says:

    Great view on the tire Ray.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doug Loughren says:

    That is horrendous that this is allowed to leave a shop in that condition. This could be that vehicle that will kill someone because of their negligence.
    There should be a governing body in place that a garage could report this to.

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doyle Holloway says:

    did you check the right front tire??

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TheRealMrRoboto says:

    Literally unsub because you asked.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars B A says:

    Probably went to a discount tire shop that also does the free alignment.
    Can't blame them there.

    Some people have Jelly for brains! In my own experience I had several blocks of tread delaminate, The tyre service guy showed me the issue. They were ditched IMMEDIATLY!

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars randy beard says:

    It really Grips my Butt knowing that many people Drive with worn-out tires and many more Dangerous Conditions concerning their vehicles–meeting you or your Love Ones down the same Highway…
