Mechanic apparently broke my car?
I took my car to the repair shop for a tune just to be sure since i dont trust myself. I drove it there without any problems and now when I picked it up it revs nicely on neutral, the temp isnt high, I have oil in the engine but the car dies when I try to move. I can barely make it go a meter or two by riding the clutch on really high revs. Ive checked the handbrake. Any suggestions?

Any help?

well if i had to guess, you have no oil, make sure your oil bolt on the bottom of the pan is tight, and give it a fill

The mechanic does more harm than good. It's supposed to make you learn to tune it yourself. When I brought my car to him it came out of his shop running SUPER lean and the fan belt was loose and fell off.

Sorry for the bad news. He does a nice job of the alignment and bodywork though!

Yeah, I saved and quit a few times and all of the sudden it worked. Didnt add any fluids or tighten any bolts. No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clue what the problem was. Yeah, the tune was not exactly spot on once I got it moving again. Gotta try to tune it myslelf.

no ♥♥♥♥ on the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ mechanic. Had him do all bodywork and THEN tune my engine.

Came back and all of a suddent a piston decided to fly out my engine block when i came to pick it up. Like wtf. Now i have to cough up close to 5k since we dont have acess to individual parts atm. whats the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ point then?!

Maybe that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ untightened your oil pan bolt. Check the engine, the guy has a strange habit of untightening random bolts.

Don't bring your satsuma to that mechanic. You just waste time and money. You can do everything better urself.
