Every mechanic knows the phrase:
It was just a noise.
But those four words can lead to some of the most ridiculous, frustrating, and unforgettable moments in the garage.
In this collection of real shop stories, Jason Night shares the hilarious, bizarre, and all-too-relatable situations that happen behind the service bay doors every day.
Inside you'll find stories about:
- The oil change that turned into a fountain
- The lug nut that absolutely refused to die
- The battery that was installed backwards
- The customer who fixed everything with duct tape
- The tire that was somehow installed backwards
...and many more moments every car guy has lived through.
If you've ever worked in a shop, turned a wrench, or tried to diagnose a mysterious noise that just started yesterday, this book will feel painfully familiar.
Sometimes the problem is simple.
Sometimes the problem is the customer.
Either way, the stories are unforgettable.
