post-repair high-five

Refers to da hearty/relieved palms-slap dat two laborers exchange when a device actually operates properly again after they've been feverishly/trepidatiously working to repair it.
My buddy and I had thoroughly cleaned the battery-terminals on my car, topped off the water in the battery's cells and wire-brushed its posts, and then carefully re-connected everything again; we totally gave each other a post-repair high-five afterwards when the engine whirled right over.

smash repairs

The Australian version of "body shop"; the place you go to get your car fixed after a crash.

Australia has a high density of these "smash repairs," comparable to the US and Europe, despite the auto industry being dead as shit. This is because it compensates by having a surplus of hoons, drunk drivers and wannabe supercar racers who need someone to unfuck their second-hand Holden Commodore after they tried to tag-team every Give Way sign in the suburb with it.

Smash repairs are staffed by panelbeaters, one of the many breeds of tradie. The hoons that aren't also dole bludgers will then continue the cycle by seeking work there, as it's not as boring as being a brickie, but not as scary as being a sparkie or boilermaker.
"I'll be a bit late home, Shaz; I'm dropping Baz off at the smash repairs so he can pick up his V8."

2-valve Regenerative Repair System

The built in autonomous self-repair system that exists inside the motor of a 2-valve 4.6L DOHC Ford V8 motor.
I hit a puddle and water got into my motor, causing an engine tick and a triple misfire, but after a week or two, the 2-valve Regenerative Repair System kicked in and the tick is gone and all 8 cylinders are firing normally.

Murphy's Law of Post-repair Reassembly

"A device that you're repairing will operate **absolutely perfectly** while you have it taken apart to work on it, but then when you get it all put back together and have all the cabinet-screws re-inserted, THAT'S when the device will decide not to work again."
To lessen the chance of getting "bitten" by Murphy's Law of Post-repair Reassembly, one should double-check everything on a refurbished device before putting it back together again.

Wilkes-Barre Repair Job

The Wilkes-Barre Repair Job is when a car has different colored parts. For example; the hood of the car is black, while the rest of the frame is shit green. Bonus points if multiple parts of the car are different colors.
Jim: “Dude, that car is a piece of shit. It looks like it’s hardly able to run.”

Fred: “I know, you can tell by the Wilkes-Barre Repair Job. The door is brown, the bumper is red, and the car is white. Surprised it still turns on.”
