dennis03+FollowCar Mechanics Say They Would Never Do These Things to Their Own Cars 🤔😮According to mechanics, there are some bad car habits they always avoid. I checked my own car and found I was damaging it 🙄 See if you've done any of these: 1️⃣ Use aftermarket parts. Cheaper parts might seem fine at first, but they can cause bigger, more expensive problems later. So never use them if OEM is available. 2️⃣ Using the wrong type of coolants or fuels. This can lead to strange issues that are costly to fix. So always stick to the fuel, coolant, and oil recommended by the manufacturer if you can. 3️⃣ For products that claim to stop leaks. Stay away from them. These are usually just temporary fixes and often cause more damage. 4️⃣ Modifying your car's exterior without considering climate -- For example, vinyl wraps can crack and peel quickly in sunny areas. 5️⃣ Car Mechanics would never layer a rubber floor mat that doesn’t fit properly on the driver’s side. It can jam the pedals and cause dangerous situations. I thought I was careful with my car... but now I realize I’ve done at least one of these. Have you made any of these mistakes? 😵 #CarCare #MechanicTips #AutoMaintenance #CarRepair #Cars 10827Share
James Smith+FollowMechanic Spills: Cars That Drain Your WalletA mechanic just dropped some brutal truths about which cars are secretly money pits. BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and VW? Gorgeous, but get ready for sky-high repair bills. US brands like Ford and Jeep? Loads of cheap parts and recalls. Even some Asian favorites like Nissan and Hyundai aren’t safe—think exploding transmissions and self-destructing engines. His picks? Stick with Toyota or Honda for reliability and low costs. Oh, and don’t fall for those fancy dealership services—they’re mostly upsells you don’t need! #CarAdvice #MechanicTips #CarShopping #Cars00Share
MellowMarlin+FollowMechanic Says I Need a New Rim—Is This Legit or a Scam?Last week, I took my car in for a flat tire, expecting a quick patch job. Instead, the mechanic told me I needed a whole new rim! I felt uneasy—was I being upsold, or was this really necessary? After some research and a second opinion, I learned that if a rim is bent or cracked, patching the tire won’t solve the problem. But sometimes, a simple repair is all you need. If you’re ever unsure, ask to see the damage and get another opinion. Have you ever felt pressured into unnecessary repairs?
