A self-described former mechanic says he faked hundreds of warranty repairs during his time in the industry, but claims he had a good reason.

Finance Clips (@finance.clips03), a page that reposts viral videos, resurfaced the mechanic’s account of the alleged scheme, in which he claimed to have skipped repairs while still telling warranty companies the work had been completed.

“Ex-mechanic admits to faking repairs over 200 times,” the text overlay reads.

The mechanic recalls one instance when a vehicle returned to the shop after another technician noticed that a part supposedly replaced “clearly wasn’t.”

“He told my boss, and then my boss brought me in,” the mechanic says, claiming he got fired.
