That's disgusting! I would have refused to work on that vehicle.
I guess the steering wheel plastic, the floor mat and the seat plastic coverings were for the protection of the mechanic...not for the cleanliness of the vehicle. what a mess!

I've worked on a few trucks that were that bad. I've had used tampons fall out of sleepers, I've had **** jugs crash thru windshields when the cab was tilted, I've had my share of animal hair packed into a/c evaporators, not to mention general garbage and smelly clothes. I've seen garbage trucks that are cleaner.

I've refused to work on vehicle like that before.
I've told the service manager that there is no way I'm working on it until it has been cleaned out. He agreed. Garbage is one thing but loaded diapers and food that is crawling on the floor is too much.
We had our local M type restaurant garbage van in to get fixed. Before any of us would work on it we sent it to our carwash. The guys there refused to get in it so they just opened the doors and started steam cleaning the inside of it, dash, seats etc
It's a good thing one of their driver kids wrote the van off before it started coming back with major electrical problems

i've seen much worse than that when i worked at a gm garage. Cars with chips and candy and pop spilled ALL over the inside. Look like a bunch of retarted kids just went nuts in there. Absolutly disgusting.
Then these people would just nonchalantly ask you to do work on the interior of the car.

Reminds me of a car that belonged to an Iranian flight student we had on base back when the Iranians took the hostages in 1979. We had nick-named him 'Animal' (it fit all to well). He fell in love with fast food from Hardy's and Micky D's, and just tossed the leftovers into the back of his old Caddy. When they finally sent them back to Iran, the car was parked in the BOQ parking lot, the food stinking and rotting in the Florida heat and humidity. The bags of uneaten food were tossed in the back of the car, and it was about as full as it could get!
Poor guys living in the BOQ were about gagged out from the smell, yet the base CO wouldn't touch the car, afraid it might create an 'International Inccident' since the Iranian liason officer was still on base. I was on base security at that time, and we were stopped repeatedly by the guys living there complaining of the stench. All we could do was suggest (under our breath) they very quietly go buy some marshmallows, a gallon of gas, and have a bonfire! Car finally disappeared, no idea where it went, nor what happened to it.
