What Mechanics See Under the Car Will Surprise You

Ever had a look under your car? Perhaps not.

Few car owners take the time to look under their car to examine the condition. If there is an issue with the exhaust, suspension, or steering systems, it must be taken to an auto repair shop in Dunwoody, GA with heavy machines where automobiles are hung in the air. Someone has full access to the underside of your car often, and obviously, not you!

Have you thought of it before? Don't freak.

Mechanics in Chamblee, GA can vividly tell and show you videos of what will surprise you the most. And they are found squarely under your car.

Many are scared of this discovery, and they asked this question: are these bizarre and surprising things found under brand new automobiles or the fairly used and resold cars? 

Guess what - they are found in both, but more are found under the fairly used and resold cars the more. However, the occurrences are more of cars parked for a long time at a place, and cars used for long-distance movement.

It is solely the prerogative of the mechanic to inform you of any bizarre or unexpected findings below your car, as they are not under any obligation to do so. After all, most car owners don't wait for their cars to be fixed.

Here are a few things seen by mechanics during auto repair, some will make you laugh, while others will shock you.

Adult Toys

Although not actually found underneath the car, many mechanics have bumped into compartments in the car only to find jaw-breaking sizes of toys of different sizes and shapes carefully tucked in somewhere. In one of the cases, a young priest on exchange studies owns the car. 

Money!

When we say money, we mean crisp bunches of cash craftily hidden inside a compartment under the car. The ingenuity exerted to hide such volumes of cash highly suggests that it was the proceeds of illegal businesses. The information found in such packages was coded or in local languages. Thus, who owns or keeps them remains a puzzle.

Dangerous weapons

Just like cash, weapons like substances used in making explosives, pocket knives, rifles of diverse kinds, revolvers, and assorted bullets. The compartments housing these objects were thoughtfully done. 

Illicit Drugs 

Sometimes, illicit drugs are also found in cars. Where illicit drugs were found under the car are specially created with locks that are not easily noticed. Corrosion under the car usually gave them out.

Other Valuables 

Costly earrings, necklaces, and finger jewelry have been found in unexpected places under the car. They are believed to have slipped off the purses or pockets of the owners or occupants of that car, who couldn't find it. They became prized treasures found by the mechanic.

Animals are not Left-out

It's seeing animals abode in the engine compartment built with leaves and grasses. Snakes and rodents are in high numbers. Also, remnants of dead animals that crawled in for safety or warmth are found.

Maybe you have to map out time to thoroughly examine a used car before purchasing. If the police found some of those items, you may go behind bars for something you knew nothing about. However, Wright Car Care is there for you. We enjoy helping car owners evaluate the underneath of their cars. Who knows, something could be there. Call us today.

What Our Happy Customers Are Saying

My experience with Wrights Car Care was probably the best car repair experience I could ask for. The last thing that you want to worry about while putting yourself through college is whether or not you can trust the people working on your car.  Wrights Car Care was very honest about exactly what the problems were with my vehicle and which issues needed to be addressed immediately and which ones could wait.  I have had no issues with any of the repairs I have had. They really have the customer's best interest in mind and it shows!

Susan Knippenberg

have been going to Wright's for numerous years and David has always been honest and helpful and concerned about each customer and their circumstances.  They always give detailed reports about what needs to be fixed and even a time frame if it can wait a while or needs immediate attention.  I really appreciate that personal attention.

Marcia Werner

This place is absolute gold. We moved to the neighborhood 3 years ago, and they have been our go-to car place for every issue, large or small, ever since. It's like bringing my car to a trusted and knowledgeable family member. They have done everything from major repairs to minor tune-ups for us, and we have never been dissatisfied. Twice I have brought my car not sure what was going on, and it turned out to be a small enough issue that they fixed it on the spot for no charge! Honest, competent, quick, fair, and kind. You can't do better.

Amy Robertson

Wrights car care rocks!! I had a car issue with a quick timeline to get back to college. David got me in and out quickly, with the part I needed, and didn't try to sell me something I didn't. You cannot beat the kindness and service I experienced!! We have gone to Wrights Car Care before, and this is why we keep going back. THANK YOU!!
