A simple oil change turned into a major headache after the mechanic apprentice accidentally dropped a bolt in the wrong place.
The video, posted on TikTok by Norm, who owns an auto repair shop, shows how he was absolutely stunned as he walked through the shop and spotted his apprentice working on a car.
He noticed that the dashboard had been completely removed. Curious, he walked over to her and saw she was inside the stripped interior.
When he asked what she was doing, she explained that she had dropped a bolt and that, apparently, this was the only way to retrieve it.
“There’s never a dull moment when working with apprentices!” Norm wrote in the caption of the clip, which has already racked up over 8,000 views and numerous comments from amused viewers.
“I died when she said she dropped a bolt,” one commenter admitted. “Hey, at least she took the initiative to fix it. I’ve seen many apprentices who wouldn’t do anything,” another added.
“Poor girl sweating so much. Better her than me!” joked a third. “Ah yes, the mysterious dropped bolt… Still haven’t found the one for that air filter retainer,” shared another.
