There is nothing mini about a clutch/flywheel job on an '09 Cooper S Turbo. These come from the factory with a dual-mass flywheel that eventually breaks into two pieces and makes some very interesting noises when operating the clutch. Installed a nice performance clutch and solid flywheel from ECS Tuning, and she's running great! (Except the starter died a day after I gave it back to the customer so that’s cool or whatever)

With this 2014 Denali 6.2 I have officially done a camshaft and lifters on every LS style engine. I should get an achievement award or something.

🫤 customer sent her a little too hard into a curb I think. 2017 Tundra with a slightly bent axle. She’s a bit wobbly.

There is something therapeutic about a really brutal dashboard job. 2017 Cadillac XT5 evaporator core. I had to pull the front doors to get dash carrier bolts out.

They got every last CENT out of those brake pads.

Amazon P/S Pump instant death! I installed this customer supplied pump 4 months ago. The pump failed internally and broke the pulley! The pulley took out the tensioner pulley and cracked the P/S reservoir and threw the belt all at the same time! Do you really save money on Chinese parts? I do love some automotive carnage!

Original Honda power steering pump will NOT give up! It chewed through the brake line so the customer lost all brakes and power steering at the same time 😬. I am impressed!

Oh no Mr. timing chain guide! What are you doing down there! 2016 Hyundai 3.3 timing chain could no longer hold on after multiple guides failed and jumped time. Bent a few valves in the process. Change your oil on time!

Hey, you wanna see something REALLY DUMB. 2016 BMW X5 Xdrive oil pan gasket replacement. I built a homemade subframe table for the floor jack and it works perfectly 🤌🏼🤌🏼
