Driver parks garage closed: The owner's reaction is tough!

England - Andy Arnott is a passionate car mechanic. In his workshop north of London, the Brit revamps old cars. If anyone gets in his way, he can't take a joke!

Or maybe he does? Arnott certainly tackles problems in his own way. His most recent solution earned the Englishman around 2.8 million views on TikTok .

There, Arnott uploaded a video showing a white Mercedes that had been repeatedly parked right in front of the Brit's garage and was blocking the entrance.

As Newsweek reported, Arnott had already spoken to the owner several times and warned him not to dare park there again! But last Friday it happened again.

So what to do? Quite simply! The mechanic quickly got into his forklift truck, took the wrong parker "on the horns" and parked the Benz elsewhere. But not just anywhere.

For one night, the white Mercedes stood on a platter, unable to move forwards or backwards.

Car mechanic Andy Arnott received a lot of applause for his action

Andy Arnott looks grim. If you take a look at his Facebook page, it becomes clear that the Englishman actually seems to be a jolly fellow.

Arnott parked the Mercedes on a green container, effectively activating the immobilizer without ever having sat in the Benz himself or having the ignition key.

More than 250,000 TikTok users gave the Englishman a like under his video. And how could it be otherwise, the internet community had a great time with the idiosyncratic mechanic's action.

On Saturday, Arnott finally showed mercy, brought the Mercedes back onto the road from its exile and handed it over to its owner. The Brit assured his followers that the car had not been damaged by the action.

From now on, the area in front of his garage should remain car-free!
