The motor carriages we use for day-to-day commute known as ‘cars’ have become a necessity. We rely on these cars greatly while we also expect them to work tirelessly without any maintenance for years. These metal companions of ours require love and care from time and time, for which they require expert mechanics- not everybody is a master at fixing everything.
It often happens that the car might only need a cleanup but we’re unable to diagnose the real problem, that’s because a usual person has very little knowledge about the whole setup of the vehicle. However, there are moments when people desperately drive off to the mechanic not even knowing which hour of the day it is because they are in dire need of help fixing their car.
There’s a subreddit community of mechanics r/JustRolledIntoTheShop where they all gather up to share the craziest car encounters they come across. They sure are hilarious! Some of them are actually pretty obvious and stupid, lol

Most of you might be relating to many of the situations listed above in some way at least. A recent study of 2,000 American car owners, proved that not less than a quarter of this figure had a clear idea that they are taking a fault along in their car while hitting the road.
In another study, the basic vehicle knowledge of people was tested. The results were alarming, as they showed that 68 percent of them were testing their odds. All of them claimed that their vehicle had something wrong with them for sure. 36 percent of those studied confessed they don’t know the first thing about fixing a flat tire
26. “The Only Worthwhile Lift Kit Instructions”
