Sunroof Drains, Honest Oil Changes & a Flash-Fixed Buick
Quick hits this week: why sunroof drains are “house gutters” for your car, the oil-change must-dos most shops skip (clean work, proper torque, new crush washers), and a Chevy 2500 6.6L gas wi... more
The $49 Bagel Test — Why a Real Oil Change Costs What It Costs
Bagels don’t get price complaints—but oil changes do. Ron compares a $49 North Jersey bagel run to the true value of a proper oil change: factory drain-plug gaskets, under-car inspectio... more

Been listening for over ten years. Ron is great and has great info but the ads have gotten brutal and their length keeps getting longer. It went from 2 minutes to now 5 minutes per ad break.
…It is a show for modern mechanics. It isn’t for an old guy with old knowledge on old cars who was a wannabe shade-tree mechanic. If you aren’t prepared to talk OBDII or the upcoming OBDIII specs and scanners along with other advanced diagnostic tools and methods, you won’t keep up.

Last podcast was 51 minutes with 18 minutes of commercials. I heart has some annoying ones too!
Listening on broadcast radio and podcast for many years.
I do most of my own car repairs, this is both out of necessity and choice. I am perpetually poor and I like to make sure the job is done right. Ron is extremely accessible and provides the amount of guidance and pep talk that I need to tackle these automotive tasks in my driveway. As far as I can tell this is the only car show whose host actively operates their own auto repair business and STILL WORKS ON CARS for a living.
