Could be an interesting topic. I've got a few pics and stories to relate from my workplace. Feel free to post yours too.

Have you ever complained about a small "bubble" on the side of your tire? I think this guy broke the record with his.

    This guy didn't change his oil very often.

    And here is a story without pictures: Customer walks in and is complaining about his engine making a funny "bloop bloop" noise. He also wants to know how much oil goes into his engine. He says he put 12 liters in and its still not full.

    Thinking he's got a hole in his oil pan I go out and have a look. It turns out that he thought he needed to fill the oil until it reached up to the oil cap!!

    Me: You'll need pads, calipers and rotors.

    Customer: Can you machine the rotors?

    A friend of mine when we were young worked in a service station in the "less than desirable part of town" ran into those pics all the time.

    Brakes weren't even a issue until discs almost spun freely on the hub.
    My equipment sig felt inadequate and deleted itself.
