Reddit’s Just Rolled into the Shop is a veritable cornucopia of the many wonders and oddities of shop lyfe. You never know what’s gonna roll in. Here’s what caught my eye this week.
6.6 duramax.
He rolled up with smoke pouring out from under the hood, got out calmly and walked inside and was just standing there for a minute before somebody asked him if he needed help and he was like yeah I think my car is on fire or something, service advisor comes hauling ass into the shop yelling for a fire extinguisher so we all run out front and the engine bay is just a ball of flames higher than the roof of the car.
He had it towed away, more than likely a total loss.
Parking is hard.
It’s almost like there should be warning lights or something for this.
Free undercoating?
...he had somebody drive him home.
Oh snap
He stated that is brakes are overheating because it was so hard to stop....
It’s a 67 cutlass with a 455
I heard the shop forman yell “I’m not fucking working on this!” from across the shop just after he popped the hood.

It made it 120k miles before this so it might’ve just shit out however I heard the service writer is having to speak with the “owners” mother about repairing it so that might give some insight on what kinda person drives it.
I got yer suspension of disbelief right here...
They sound like shit on the truck. Im sure on a 5-700lb wheel and tire combo they work. Boy were they useless on this truck. He didn’t want us to balance his new Michelins but we told him if he wanted any type of warranty on them we were going to.
Guy is paying extra money to have us pull pan and inspect the bearings sounds like he’s gonna have us rebuild it
Cam sprocket. It’s made out of a fiber / resin material.
