TikToker goes viral with dashcam footage of Toyota mechanics \u201cfrying\u201d their car TikTok: 86moeTikTok footage uploaded by \u201986moe\u2019 has taken off, with dashcam footage showing Toyota mechanics abusing their car when taken in for a standard service. Dodgy mechanics are a concern for everyone, from complete motorheads to inexperienced vehicle owner.s What happens to your precious car when it\u2019s out of sight is a mystery to most. Shining light on the poor workmanship of an Autonation Toyota in Leesburg Virgina, a newly viral TikTok video exposes a series of issues recorded on a dashcam when mechanics thought no one was watching. The TikTok shows the Autonation workers speeding the car around an empty lot, damaging the clutch of the manual vehicle, and even openly admitting \u201cI feel so bad for this car right now.\u201d In the video, you repeatedly hear the unseen mechanic driving 86moe\u2019s car bemoaning driving a manual. \u201cIt\u2019s a manual. I got good enough at the manual\u2026\u201d the technician says before unconfidently petering out of speech. Captions explain that the mechanic is \u2018frying the clutch\u2019 when reversing it. A term that refers to keeping the clutch half-engaged while driving. Literally grinding the gears of the car and causing damage to the inner workings of the manual mechanism. Further text commentary from 86moe accuses the Autonation worker of \u2018dumping the clutch\u2019 and stalling the vehicle. As this occurs you hear the driver say \u201coh that hurt. oh my god, that did not feel good at all.\u201d In the comments section of the TikTok, 86moe lets loose that since posting the allegedly shoddy dealerships\u2019 work that \u201cToyota called begging me to take the video down.\u201d A request that 86moe has clearly denied. https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@86moe\/video\/7092099863327886634?is_copy_url=1&is_from_webapp=v1&refer=embed&referer_url=httpswww.dailydot.com&referer_video_id=7092099863327886634 Viewers agreed with 86moe that the car was not being treated with the professional care you\u2019d expect from experienced car handlers One user even recommended taking the video \u201cto the highest person at Toyota. That\u2019s not okay at all.\u201d It wasn\u2019t all accusations against the Autonation however, with the argument being put forth that clutches are hardworking pieces of machinery \u201cmade to be used and abused for 150,000 miles.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
