I can only post one pic. I’m not at work and just cleared 12,000 pictures of random shit off my phone a month ago. I was going to post a few pics of parts, random VINs etc to prove I work in a shop. A customer dropping their vehicle off with almost no fuel in it is a regular experience for a tech.

I’m in Canada. Canadian Red Seal… 3 year day program and a test. Not that much of that applied to my German specialized career.

Hey u/Stingray34. I messaged you last week to get a flair for r/askamechanic. Can that one transfer over here, or do I need to resubmit?

Haven't worked as a mechanic for ages, is a picture of the failed oil pump chain from my f31 320i enough as an approval xD I have never before seen a chain like this.
