Having a car means going to the mechanic regularly. Granted, if you know your way around an engine (or have a friend who does), visits to the auto shop might be few and far between. Otherwise, experts recommend regular checks every 12 months. Still, 56% of car owners delay essential repairs to save money.
Many auto mechanics have seen what happens when people don't take good care of their cars. When a car is in an absolute state, it often ends up in the "Just Rolled Into The Shop" subreddit. It's a place for mechanics to share the most ridiculous and unbelievable cases that arrive at their garages and vent about the challenges of their work. Below, you'll find the funniest and most infuriating cases they've seen, and maybe be inspired to take a little better care of your set of wheels from here on out!
