A car mechanicsโ job is to perform maintenance work on vehicles to keep them safe and road-worthy. Itโs a fulfilling job especially if you love tinkering with car parts. However, there are just some clients who came in with the most hilarious and absurd problems with their vehicles.
Here are 50 photos of hilarious things car mechanics have to deal with.
From cute puppies to a cloverleaf, the list just kept getting weirder and weirder.
1) Donโt forget to honk
One of the fears of being a driver is when your kid accidentally falls out of the car. One driver made sure that he is informed when one of his kid falls out. Letโs just hope that when someone honks, itโs not his child falling from the car.
