Jims Auto Repair

I went on thursday to do a gas tank repair on a 1957 ford ranchero. It started off good simple replacement of gas tank then put new one on and im done. nope this ranchero wanted the original, new gas tank was a universal fit smaller in size as the original. had to check original with pressure and see if it was leaking it wasnt so i went back to customers house and removed the new one replaced it with original check for leaks everything was alright job was done took me three days, problem with car it was leaking gasoline.

went on sunday with my nephew to do a clutch job on an s10 chevy when we took it apart the clutch was exploded in pieces. the throwout bearing damaged. rear main seal leaking.I told my nephew diagnose it further see what else is broken he told me i think you should look at this uncle the tranny broke i think. So i check it sure enough theres alot of play on the input shaft I tell him it needs a rebuild. he says ok. he tells the customer all the work needed to fix the truck. the customer says just put the clutch back on the the truck. I tell my nephew theres no gaurantee on the work .they turn the truck on after putting it back together surprise same noise it had when it came in the shop guess what its not gonna last long customer drives it away and thats that. people i cant figure them out. good job next

sorry for not posting.. well let me tell you who showed up at my door yesterday the guy who i did the honda vtech motor swap in. well karma a bitch he failed to pay my bill in full and now he comes to me seeing if i want to buy the honda accord from him. I ask him why he wants to sell it to me. his reply I got rear ended in it. so i ask him how much for it do you want. he answers 1500 dollars. in my head i laugh this is too funny. he burns me on payment now he wants 1500 dollars for a broke car yeah right. he goes on telling me my insurance will only give me 500 dollars for the car. i said why he says it has a salvage title. anyone knows here in the good ole united states of america salvage title means 500 dollars for a unfixble wreck. I tell him ill let him know hehe when hell freezes over. gotta love karma
