Best Shop Jokes

i had one guy run to a parts store to pick up sparkplugs and carb rebuild kit for a diesel. he came back and said they could not find those in the books or computer.

or you could go with a piston return spring how else does the piston come back up? or the classic muffler bearings.    and btw i have a 6x9 hole saw! they are funky things

I like waiting till someone is installing a flip down screen (Especially if they are new) wait till they are about done, Tell them that they have a phone call or something then take some screws cut the head off them and use rubber cement to glue the rest to the top of the car....

When they get back in the shop have like two or 3 other people standing there just staring and muttering about what he/she did to the car....Last guy I did this to was freaking out for like half an hour....

There are also the Skyhooks, and Lugnut gaskets

Making the World A Louder Place

I once programmed a spare remote to a salesguy's remote start (it so happened to be a used unit he bought from the manager).  We would remote start it every couple hours.  We told him that we thought he had a frozen coil spring in the remote start unit, that was most likely caused by the brain sitting out in the rain before he got the unit (it was winter in Ohio so everything was frozen).  We seriously about had the guy in tears. 

Don't forget the old trick of hooking the horn to the brake signal.  Thats a classic.

I actually took the time to improve that prank by building a control unit that would keep track of how many times the brake pedal was pushed.  On the 10th press it would randomly select one of four patterns to honk the horn.  The unit would also pick one of the four patterns if the brake was held down for longer then 45 seconds.  This was installed on a Store managers car at CC.  It was an instant classic!

back when i was an installer, there was this kid whod come in everyday and loiter around the store. probly like once a month, hed have a do something small to his car. one of our installers, todd, would get really annoyed with the kid cause hed come in every day, ask an hours worth of questions and leave.

ill never forget the day todd had to work on his car. todd comes up to the front and tells the kid "man, we cant work on our car anymore. not only is your gweebo disk bad, but the caniveling pin is loose too. your going to have to take it somewhere else. we dont stock those parts."

he had the kid calling around to see who could fix gweebo disks and caniveling pins
