An auto repair shop owner has shown how much vermin can damage vehicles if the problem goes unaddressed by using his customer\u2019s car as a shocking example.<\/p>\n
The TikTok video, uploaded by Concept 3 Performance, a Santa Fe Springs, California-based garage, has amassed over 310,000 views since its upload on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Concept 3 Performance\u2019s (@concept3performance) TikTok clip starts with one of the repair shop\u2019s employees asking William Chang, the garage\u2019s owner, what\u2019s wrong with the car he\u2019s working on.<\/p>\n
Chang replies: \u201cI think this one is self-explanatory.\u201d<\/p>\n
Next, the video\u2019s camera operator pans toward the vehicle\u2019s open hood, revealing a massive amount of nuts hoarded within the engine bay.<\/p>\n

They love engine bay insulation and chewing wires [shown during the clip\u2019s conclusion].\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/24\/590x\/secondary\/williamchangunderside-5015780.jpg?r=1697488180628\")
