    It sounds like a mobile app or knockoff GoPro style action cam might work better. That way you can point it out the side if needed and the audio quality is likely to be much better than a dash cam.

    For budget dash cams, I’ve had good experience with the 70mai brand. Keep in mind that on most dash cams, if you get one without a screen, you will probably have to install their app to change settings.







  • Yeah, I’m sorry that happened. But literally no one, even the shadiest shop, is doing that intentionally. Laziness and using air tools, probably. Trying to save a buck by using the original crush washer and just tightening it down harder, also likely. Intentionally over tightening so you have to come back to them; extremely unlikely.

    After we finally got it off we both agreed on one thing, neither of us are bringing our vehicles back to that shop again. That was over 10 years ago now and I’m still holding true to my word fuck them I’ll drive the extra 20 minutes to another shop

    That’s exactly what you should do if you’re not happy with the service. But be prepared to wait to get into a decent mechanic. The ones that provide shitty service are able to stay in business because there is always someone in a hurry. And this is why I say they aren’t intentionally over torquing your drain bolt. They don’t give a shit if you come back on not; there’s plenty others waiting.

    I’m glad my professional wrenching isn’t in the automotive field any more.
