Real Photos Shared By Auto Mechanics to Prove the Strangest Things They’ve Seen on the Job

Mechanics see all types of things throughout their day, and many of their stories are nothing short of unbelievable.

But there are some instances when they encounter weird and unexplained things like wild animals inside engines, supernatural occurrences, and cars pumped full of bullets, just to name a few!

These mechanics shared some pretty crazy stories of some of the weirdest and sometimes the most adorable things they saw on the job. Even the most experienced drivers sometimes let their maintenance lights flicker for a few weeks too long, and that is the least of these mechanics’ problems.

A Car Full of Bullet Holes

Mechanics deal with all kinds of intricate car jobs. Sometimes they have to spend hours bending, twisting, wrenching, and figuring out a problem for weeks on end. Other times they can fix the issue within a few hours. But one thing’s for sure! They know how to handle the inner workings of a car.

But that doesn’t mean their days are anything but interesting. Take this mechanic who works at a rental company and was present when the cops brought back one of their vehicles loaded with bullet holes.

Pull On String to Unstick Accelerator Pedal

This mechanic gasped when they opened the driver’s side door and saw this note, a string, and a ruler attached to the steering wheel. It’s a good thing he read the note.

If he hadn’t, he would have driven into a wall when he drove the car inside one of the shop’s bays because the accelerator pedal kept getting stuck to the floor. Gotta give the customer kudos though for MacGyvering it.

The Prius Owner That Knows Its Limits

This car owner knows that his Prius is environmentally friendly because it’s a hybrid. That means that it won’t release as many harmful emissions into the atmosphere because it uses battery power before the gas in the tank.

But the owner knew that Prius cars get a bad rap for not being the most efficient vehicles on the road, so the mechanic just laughed when they saw what was on the back of the bumper.

The Flapping Noise From the Driver’s Side

Mechanics often laugh at the complaints that customers make when they bring in their cars to the shop. One customer claimed that she heard a flapping noise coming from the driver’s side.

It was obvious to the mechanic that the flapping sound was coming from the American flag attached to the passenger side window whenever the wind blew on it.
