1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Ron and Anians. You ever wonder how they make it

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: so that when you go into reverse, that's when the

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: camera turns on, because otherwise you would be kind of

4
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: need you can turn the camera and look at the

5
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: guy behind your tailgating you, so it would be uh,

6
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, make you like a supply car of silence.

7
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: The Car Doctor a simple backup camera. Look at what

00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: years ago, sixty years ago, nineteen sixty nine. Look at

10
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: that technology. Look how far we've come. We probably can't

11
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,239
Speaker 1: get that back for the moon anymore, but we sure

12
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,680

Speaker 1: the time. We're trying to be there for you. UM.

37
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: I was listening to the radio this week. I listened

38
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: to the radio sometimes and it kind of blew my mind.

39
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: This this commercial. I've asked Tom to queue it up

40
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: because I wanted to start the show here with us today. Tom,

41
00:01:50,000 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: would you would you run that commercial? With instant acceleration

42
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 1: Electric cars are more fun to drive and more affordable

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: than ever. Electric cars are here, plug into the present

44
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: and the end of that commercial was sponsored right tom.

45
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: It didn't have it in the clip, but it was

46
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: sponsored by Volkswagen. Sponsored by Volkswagen, and it's actually a

47
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: TV commercial. And and the car that they're saying is

48
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: the car, the electric car is a Chevy. There's no

49
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: Volkswagon in the spot. So it made no sense to me.

50
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 1: And I sat there and I said, wow, how can

51
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: the company that brought us the ever poll looting beyond

52
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: the legal limit diesel come up with what? Now? This

53
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: is their penance? Is this like Catholic school? You got caught,

54
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: so you have to do seven hell Mary's and run

55
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: a commercial on radio and TV to promote electric cars

56
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: for a clean environment? Is that what they're up to here?

57
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: I don't understand. And where do the claims and the

58
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: commercial come from. You know, they talk about it's the

59
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: future and the cleaner running electric car and better for

60
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: the environment electric car? Has that been established? Have we

61
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: acknowledged that? Are we? Are they saying that we've we've

62
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: agreed that the electric car right now and it's present

63
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: shape and form is the way to go. I haven't.

64
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: I don't agree with that. I don't believe that. I

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: think that there's a place for it. I don't know

66
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: that it's the be all and end all, but I

67
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: I fear commercials like this because how many people are

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: gonna have the presence of mind to sit and look

69
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: for the answers. How many people are gonna sit there

70
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: and say, well, that electricity has to come from somewhere,

71
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: and where do we generate the electricity to charge that

72
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: vehicle back up? And what does it take for a

73
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: power grid to support you know, how many people live

74
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: in the Tri State area, how many millions of people

75
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: live here? If we all plugged in at once, what

76
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: would happens of the grid? What was that? There was

77
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: a TV show in the sixties, I think it was

78
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: I think it was a talk show host in the

79
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 1: sixties and the seventies that said everybody needed to go

80
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: to their bathroom and flush their toilet at once, and

81
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: they saw a pressure drop of water pressure drop in

82
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: the regions such that it was devastating the effect the

83
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: number of toilets that got flushed all at once. And

84
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: he was trying to demonstrate the point of if everybody

85
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,479
Speaker 1: jumped into the pool all at once and whenever. The

86
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: topic of the day was I vaguely remember this as

87
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: a kid. If everybody plugged an electric car in all

88
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: at once, if we ran out, which we don't because

89
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 1: we don't have the manufacturing capacity, not only just to

90
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: manufacture all the cars, but the supporting grid, the internal

91
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: structure to hey, everybody's got an outlet that will accept

92
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: that electric car and allow it to charge up. Can't

93
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: do it. You know, everybody wants a generator now right,

94
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: everybody's going on generator. All the generators are being installed.

95
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: My my, my friend Mike Kicki, who does generator installs.

96
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: He did the one for the studio here and we

97
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: talked all it time. He said, Ron, I've got generator

98
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: work signed up for the next two and a half

99
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 1: three years. He said, it just it just doesn't stop.

100
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: And he goes, there aren't enough people to install generators,

101
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 1: and it just goes on and on and on and

102
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: and the problem we're gonna run into slowly is all

103
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: the generators run off the natural gas grid, and we've

104
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: got to make sure the natural gas grid can support

105
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 1: the generators or we're gonna just you know, it's like

106
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: a vicious cycle. We're creating a problem. Electric cars, are

107
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: they the answer? Are they going to be the final solution. Um,

108
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think that the final solution

109
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: from Volkswagen. I can tell you that because if they

110
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: make an electric car the way they made a diesel,

111
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: were doomed and and and how Chevy and Volkswagen got

112
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: into cahoots together, I wonder Chevy even well, Chevy mustn't

113
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: know that they're doing it. But it just caught me

114
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: as I actually called Tom Wednesday morning when I heard it,

115
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: and I said, you know, we need to get a

116
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: serious XM channel because I gotta say a few choice

117
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: words about some of these people are doing and I

118
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: just can't do it on family radio. But um, that's

119
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: my opening rant. Just listen to that commercial, Listen to

120
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: the world, you know, can it really be? I was

121
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: at the Chevy dealer and we're gonna have Bill Brunner

122
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: Um from Paramus Chevy on in the next hour talking.

123
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: He's the general manager PREMI Chever. We're gonna have them.

124
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about the car industry and how it's changed.

125
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: And you know, I was down there about a month

126
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: ago buying a new truck, and the salesman were showing

127
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 1: me the Chevy vault Um and the Bolt right, the

128
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: electric cars that they've got, and you know, they're forty

129
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: thou dollar cars. You know, it's it's forty g s.

130
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: I'm not knocking, and I think they're a great, great car.

131
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: I think you know, we're on But it's not that

132
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: they're they're ten thousand dollars that you're saving all this

133
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: money versus a gas vehicle. And there's still gonna be maintenance,

134
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: it's still gonna require a very specialized technician to work

135
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 1: on it. And you know, there's there are some shortcomings

136
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: of it because if it's it's it's technology, it's not

137
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: perfected yet. I just don't see it. You know. Last

138
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: week we went up to uh the Boston area where

139
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: our daughter is going to school and uh, you know,

140
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: for her birthday. So we went and walked around them

141
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: all to kill some time. They had a Tesla store

142
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: for a hundred and forty seven thousand dollars. YouTube can

143
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,280
Speaker 1: have an electric car, right, and you know for a

144
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: hundred forty seven thousand dollars, I can put a kitchen

145
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: in a bathroom in my house. Um, you know which

146
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: which am I going to use? More? You know which

147
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: is gonna be more reliable, and which is gonna go

148
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: up in value? And what's gonna happen. I brought this

149
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: up before. We're in the Northeast. We have a big snowstorm.

150
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 1: We have no power here at the house. How do

151
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: I charge my car? Well, solar, that'll be the next thing, exactly.

152
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: So we're gonna take America, um a superpower. We're gonna

153
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: turn this into a third world country where will be

154
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: dependent upon solar energy and and and electric vehicles because

155
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna gonna use gas and oil because we're running

156
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: out of it. Sure we are. Um, yeah, I I

157
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: just listen to these commercials. Folks. You gotta you know,

158
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get political here, but you've really got

159
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 1: to pay attention to what they're saying. And you've got

160
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: to stop to think, I don't care what you buy.

161
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: Sooner or later it's gonna break and you know who's

162
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: gonna fix it. There's limitations to technology. Okay, I'm better now,

163
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: let's get over. Talk to Dan in Bristol, Connecticut. Dan,

164
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,119
Speaker 1: I'm done, thank you, sir. How can I help? Sorry?

165
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 1: What's going on? UM? I thought about a two thousand

166
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: and sixteen Chevy cruise and it's her first car, and

167
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: the navigation system decides to tell her every time she

168
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: trained uh goes to a do new road, it tells

169
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: her the what the speed limit is? Um, it's fine,

170
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: but it's annoying, so she wants to cut it off

171
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: or she wants to get here of the car. And

172
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: she just boughted two weeks ago, and an audible warning, Dan,

173
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: you know so it's audible it says I'm sorry. Um,

174
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna say so every time she goes from

175
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: a fifty five to a sixty or a thirty five

176
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: speed limit is YadA YadA, yuh. Um, she's correct. She's

177
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: looked through settings on the navigation system. She doesn't have

178
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: a navigation setting on the top. Well, then what's making dealership?

179
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: The dealership doesn't know how to shut it off either.

180
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: They thought it was the um the satellite radio thing,

181
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: but she doesn't have an account there, so they're not

182
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: sure how to shut it off. Well, wait a minut.

183
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: It she she has navigation or she doesn't have navigation.

184
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: She doesn't have navigation, does not She tried to look

185
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: to look through the books, look through the all the

186
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: settings on the on the car and nothing's there that

187
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: says it's navigational settings. So we're a little dumbfounded on

188
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 1: how it's looking. Yeah, I'm kind of I'm kind of

189
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 1: dumbfounded too. So where's the sound coming from? And I

190
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 1: guess that's the question. Speakers, the radio sneakers. I'm not

191
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: sure we're it's actually coming from. But even the dealership

192
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: didn't know where it was coming from. So did she

193
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: buy this car? Used? Yes, you know, I'm gonna say,

194
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm gonna say that there's there's but there's

195
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: gotta be. If it's not factory, then where were the

196
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: add on being? How does the module hide in that? Yet? Tom?

197
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: Is it possible that in the radio the radio is

198
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: set up to pick up traffic information? Uh, and that's

199
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 1: where it's coming from, because some radios are equipped to

200
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: do that and it is transmit on certain stations. Is

201
00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: it was that the old R d S systems, Well

202
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 1: it's partially rd S and now they've moved it over

203
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: to HD radio side, so it's a combination of the two.

204
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: So I wonder if there is but there's You've you've

205
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:16,599
Speaker 1: been through radio settings, Dan, and there's nothing there. I

206
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: don't believe she has um, but that's something else to

207
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: look into. Can you email me the vin sure? I wanna?

208
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: I want to see email me the seventeen digit vin

209
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:29,719
Speaker 1: rona car doctor show dot com. I want to look

210
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 1: up the owner's manual for that car, and and and

211
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: and see what I can find. Um, but there's got

212
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: to be a settings button somewhere. Um, I can't believe

213
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: that that's not you. I can't believe that you can't

214
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: turn that off. Um, that just doesn't I've never heard

215
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: of this. So but you know this is a technology, right, Um, yeah,

216
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: this is technology, you know. I feel ship didn't even

217
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: know how to do it. So that's that's the other

218
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 1: concern that I had it. I didn't even know how

219
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: to do it right. Well, and you know how many

220
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: people have complained about it. You wonder how many bulle

221
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: it turns it on. I'll tell you They've got some

222
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: really obscure things inside vehicle settings now and in in

223
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: in in the new Ford Explorer and the new Chevy Pickup.

224
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: I look at some of the settings and things that

225
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: will do the Uh. The Chevy Pickup actually has a

226
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: setting that when I turned the truck off, it prompts

227
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: me to look in the back seat, you know, looking

228
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: looking into your seat before I exit the vehicle, because

229
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, the concern was did you leave your groceries,

230
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: your kids, your dog? Um, you know, and and the salesman,

231
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: as he put it, he goes nobody ever turns that

232
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: off for some reason. I'm like, I turned that off.

233
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: I U, I can figure out if I got something

234
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: in the back seat. Oh, I gotta tell you, I

235
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: don't know if it works. Because the first night I

236
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: had the truph, I went out to eat, I left

237
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 1: the leftovers in the back of the truck. I forgot

238
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: to take them out, so I ignored it because I'm

239
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: not even used to seeing it. Um. So you wonder

240
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 1: how good technology is Send me the VN dan Uh.

241
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: There's that that that doesn't make any sense. There's gotta

242
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: be an answer to that. We gotta go through the

243
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 1: owner's manual. All right, thank you so much. Thank you.

253
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: we've gotten so many questions over the over the years

254
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: about body collision collision repairs, in particular the one Jesse

255

Speaker 1: from California. With the j we're gonna just talk a

256
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: little bit about finding a good collision repair facility and

257
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:49,839
Speaker 1: what to look for and to make sure it's right.

258
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: And I'm trying to woo Gerald. I want to get

Speaker 1: him back because I want to talk specifically about Jesse's

260
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: problem in California. We discussed it briefly when we talked

261
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: on the phone in our Injuctory phone called later in

262

Speaker 1: to know, he's sharp buried lots of all it's lots

264
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: of knowledge their second generation owners. So we're looking forward

265
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: to that down around the bottom of the hour. Let's

266
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: get right now over to Mark in Hartford, Connecticut, oh

267
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: four Chevy Silverado. Mark. Welcome to the colarad, Welcome to

268
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: the Welcome to the Colorado. Welcome to the car doctor

269
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: mark hour you sir, how you doing all right? Thank you?

270
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: What's going on? All right? So? Oh four Silverado six

271
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: point oh, I just picked it up. Two days after

272
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: getting the vehicle, I get an engine like, come on,

273
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: it's actually flashing. So I investigate that misfire and it's

274
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 1: detecting raw fuel being dumped into the catalytic converter. So

275
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: bring it back, put it on. A scan tool has

276
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 1: a random misfire at shown cylinder's one in five. They

277
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: replaced plugs and wires. That didn't solve the problem. They

278
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,119
Speaker 1: replaced the two coil packs on the on the misfired

279
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: cylinders that didn't do that didn't fix it. A smoke

280
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: tested the intake and the EVAP replaced the map air

281
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: fuel sensor. And I'm still getting this, but it's really intermittent,

282
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: and it only happens. I only get the flashing engine

283
00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,319
Speaker 1: light over seventy miles in our seventy seventy two miles

284
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: an hour. It will come on only at a coast,

285
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: and that's about pms. And if I'm just kind of

286
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: on and off the gas to keep that seventy two speed,

287
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: it'll flash the engine light? Who who? Who's Who's day?

288
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: Is this a dealer or used car lot or this

289
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: is the dealer not not a Chevy dealer, but yes,

290
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: the lot that I bought the car from. There they

291
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: have been doing the work. I've had my mechanic kind

292
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: of double check the code make sure that's all that

293
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: was going wrong with it. And he ran it on

294
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: his machine and looked at it and it's a very

295
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: low missfire. I'm only get a couple of thousand missfires

296
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,240
Speaker 1: on both of these these Uh, both of these cylinders.

297
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: How many miles? How many miles are on this one?

298
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,880
Speaker 1: One thirty when I picked it up and I have

299
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: one thirty one? Now, okay, so now we know why

300
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 1: it was traded in. Um, yeah, you always wonder, right,

301
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: So you know, misfire is a misfire. It doesn't necessarily

302
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: have to be ignition. It can be you know, and

303
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: I say this all the time, it can be. I

304
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: always look at the example and point out, you know,

305
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: you ever use a snowblower, a leaf or a lawnmower. Uh,

306
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: if you leave the choke on too long, the engine

307
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: starts to run rough right, you know that's a that's

308
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: a rich fuel condition misfire. If you have a warrant

309
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 1: spark plug, that's an ignition misfire. If it has a

310
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: burnt valve, that's a mechanical misfire. So you know, it's

311
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: the same thing on an automobile, just you've got eight

312
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: cylinders instead of one. So they've sounds like they've gone

313
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: through the ignition. They guessed and through a bunch of

314
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: parts at it for that and that didn't do it.

315
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: So now it's you know, is it fuel? Is it?

316
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: I liked what they did with smoking the intake? Is it?

317
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: Is it? You know, a vacuum leak somehow affecting UH

318
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: an issue, although generally vacuum leaks aren't gonna get picked

319
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: up all vital. But smoking the intake isn't a bad idea.

320
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 1: These have a These have a tendency to go through

321
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: intakes and gas. It's rather so that's not the worst idea.

322
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 1: One of the things I'd like somebody to do is

323
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: go through what we call crankshaft variation. Learn this particular

324
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: generation oh two, oh three, oh four, oh five, you know,

325
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 1: had an issue where it would lose its ability to

326
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: know crankshaft position. And so you went through a crankshaft

327
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 1: learned procedure which has to be done with a scan tool.

328
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: All right, not every scan tool has it. The factory

329
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: Tech two does. I'm not sure if a snap on

330
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: or a launcher and O t C will, But it's

331
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: it's it's just a procedure that goes through under special

332
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: functions that will allow the person to reindex or relearn

333
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 1: the crank in relation to the cam and the and

334
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: and the rest of the vehicle, so that it's it's

335
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: it's bicycles prockets are in the right place at the

336
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: right time. You follow and and and and and before

337
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: I go anywhere else with this, although I think you

338
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: do have some sort of a problem because you're seeing

339
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: a lashing light. Although crankshaft learned, crankshaft out of index

340
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: will cause uh, you know, an engine performance problem. My

341
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: next step because I don't like to spend money on

342
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: parts unless I know what I'm doing. You know that

343
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: I've actually got a affirm like, yeah, this is bad.

344
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: I don't like throwing parts of the car. UM. I

345
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: want to do the easy stuff first. UM, I would

346
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: look for bulletins of which I don't know. I know

347
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: there's a bunch, but there are a lot of them

348
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: are gonna point towards crank learn um, but I would

349
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: do a crank learned procedure. I would verify, you know,

350
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: when it happens, which two cylinders are being affected. Is

351
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: it consistently those two cylinders? And if it is, I

352
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: would not rule out the possibility of carbon deposits. And

353
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, do I have a valvetrain valve spring issue.

354
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: The fact that it happens at seventy two yeah, the

355
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: fact that it happened seventy two miles an hour coasting,

356
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: you know, when you're when you're kind of backpedaling as

357
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: I as I think of it, I would look more

358
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: towards you know, I would double check my crank learn

359
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: and look more towards software and then think a little

360
00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 1: bit about carbon deposit issues before I went and started

361
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: spending a bunch of money on other things. So do that.

362
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: Let them do crank learn if they need more information,

363
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: telling the email me Ronic Car Doctor Show dot com

364
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: and I'll be glad to help in any way I

365
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: can and keep me posted more. Good luck to you, hey,

366
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: coming up next, Gerald Whickland car collision questions answered right

367
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 1: after this stay tuned. When the family car needs some fixing,

368
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: there's only two things that really matter, getting the right

369
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 1: part and getting some good advice. It's a pretty safe

370
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: bet that, with over a million parts in stock, pet

371
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 1: Boys has the right part right now. The pet Boys

372
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: Pros are extensively trained to find the right part for

373
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 1: just about any car truck. Better yet, these pros can

374
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,360
Speaker 1: also handle the entire installation or service needed. It's always

375
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: good to have options and know the pep Boys Pros

376
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: have it covered either way. Hey, Ron, and even the

377
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, we're back. You know, bodywork repair. Collision repairs

378
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: seems to be a big topic of late and it

379
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: seems to be growing more and more. The the collision

380
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 1: side of the industry is starting to grow as the

381
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: mechanical side is starting to grow, and they're they're kind

382
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: of melting together and judging by your calls over the

383
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 1: last couple of years, we thought it would be a

384
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,399
Speaker 1: good timely conversation to to incorporate collision here on the

385
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: Car Doctor and explain to you just what some of

386
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 1: the basics are when you're when you're doing things like

387
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: choosing a collision repair shop. So we've reached out to

388
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: one of the industry's best. It's Gerald Wickland. He is

389
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: the owner of car Star Wickland and Liberty, Missouri. And

390
00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: Gerald's here with us today. We're glad to have him aboard. Gerald,

391
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Car Doctor. Thanks for taking the time today,

392
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: Thanks for having me. Um, car Star, you were the

393
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: you were the first car star Star so to speak.

394
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: Back in nine correct, yes, literal whole came to my

395
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: dad with an ideas says, uh, what do you think

396
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: about starting a franchise with training and execution of super

397
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:07,439
Speaker 1: fantastic repairs. And that being said, uh, that ends up

398
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: being the first franchisity of car Star And now we

399
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: have a little fifteen in kan City metro area. Car

400
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: Star Wickland is celebrating fifty years in business. From what

401
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:24,119
Speaker 1: I understand, Yeah, nineteen seventy actually started out as the

402
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: body shop and now fifty years later we're still the

403
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: body shop of Liberty. So it's it's not your first

404
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: day at the rodeo by any stretch of the imagination. Um.

405
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: Now we have three generations of the car Star now. Yeah. Um,

406
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: So you know when you're when when people say to you, hey,

407
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find a collision shop as I'm sure

408
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: you're you know, sitting around the family barbecue or at

409
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: different events, and people say, I'm looking for a collision

410
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: repair shop, and I live in you know, I live

411
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 1: in Kansas, I live in Wisconsin, I live in you know.

412
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 1: What do I look for? What? What? What do drivers

413
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 1: look for when they're choosing a collision repair shop. Well,

414
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: first of all, go online and check out the reviews.

415
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: You want to make sure that when you go in

416
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: there it's clean. Call for an appointment, ask for a

417
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: shop tour. A lot of shops don't want you back

418
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 1: in their back shop because they have too much to hide.

419
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: And we're an open door. I mean, you just come

420
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: in and and we're gonna look over the car, walk

421
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 1: around it with you. Make sure we catch all the damage,

422
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 1: explain the damage even while we're writing it on a

423
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: big screen, and explain all the little parts. And make

424
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: sure you understand the terminology that is used on the

425
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: damage report, because sometimes they're using our an, I, D,

426
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: and R all kinds of urns that doesn't make sense

427
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: to the consumer. And it speaks spelled out and playing

428
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: English so that anybody can understand. Once once somebody picks

429
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 1: a repair shop, a collision repair shop. Once that decision

430
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: gets made, are there are there other things to consider

431
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: before you actually drop the car off on the repair

432
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: process starts. Oh, make sure that you're clear on the

433
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: damage report and make sure that uh uh that all

434
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 1: the damage is being repaired and you understand what the

435
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: insurance commies. Part of that is if there's an insurance

436
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: compy involved, um, I guess and and understand what's actually

437
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: being fixed. Right. You know, if if the mirror on

438
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: the right side was broken prior to the accident, um,

439
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,200
Speaker 1: and that damages on the left side, don't expect the

440
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 1: right side damage to get resolved automatically unless you mentioned

441
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 1: it and you're gonna obviously pay for that. Yeah, but

442
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,439
Speaker 1: also pay attention to any rattles. A lot of times

443
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: the cars hits are hard on the front end that

444
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: the mumbler system and engines moved and there might be

445
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: a vibration and engine there might be a exhausted is

446
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: uh bumping up against the frame or unibody. So all

447
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 1: those things that we have to consider when we're doing

448
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 1: a damage analysis and repair of the vehicle. You know,

449
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 1: I know when people um come to the to the shop,

450
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: Gerald and we're talking to Gerald Winckland, owner of car

451
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: Star Wickland and a little bit of Missouri for those

452
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: of you just tuning in. Um, you know Gerald, I

453
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: know when people come to the shop to pick up

454
00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: their cars the end of the day, we've done brace,

455
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: we've done service. It takes ten fifteen minutes to kind

456
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: of get him out the door, and you know, so

457
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: they understand what we did. Is that the same at

458
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: collision or his collision, just an in and out process.

459
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: What happens. Well, the last thing I want to do

460
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: is just hand the keys and say there, there's your

461
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,119
Speaker 1: car out there. I want to make sure, even before

462
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: they signed the check or any last minute paperwork, that

463
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 1: I walk around the car, explain the damage report in

464
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: a way that they can understand, walk around the vehicle completely.

465
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: I even had a car one time the customer was

466
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: in a hurry. He picks up his card had been

467
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: repaired just in the right rear buffer, and he got

468
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 1: a couple of days later he never walked around the

469
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,479
Speaker 1: car himself and noticed damage in the same exact spot

470
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 1: and accused me of not repairing his vehicle. So you

471
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: always want to walk around it. You want to make

472
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 1: sure that Uh, it's very clear what was done. And

473
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: if there's any questions or there's a wheel line and done,

474
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: make sure you got a copy of the wheel suspects

475
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,959
Speaker 1: so that way you have it in your paperwork in

476
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 1: case you need further down the road you have tire

477
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: wear or something, you can address those with another mechanic

478
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: or take it back to the shop. You can always

479
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 1: bring it back to us and I'll drive it and

480
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 1: explain and educate the customer. A lot of customers don't

481
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,760
Speaker 1: understand road crown where the water drains off to the

482
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: road to the right or left, and how it's the

483
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: cargo drift after the alignment, and and and what effects

484
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: that has on on on the way the car handles. Sure, yeah,

485
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: we get into that conversation too. Um. You know somebody

486
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: comes in and and picks up their vehicle or they're

487
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 1: they're getting ready to approve the repair. Actually, uh, they've

488
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: they've brought it into you. And you know, Gerald says, okay,

489
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: it's five thousand dollars to fix this, and but g Gerald,

490
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: the guy around the corner was was four thousand dollars.

491
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 1: And you know, you look at the list and the

492
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 1: list of the parts are the same. What's going to

493
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:51,040
Speaker 1: be different in those two estimates? Why is there a

494
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: thousand dollars difference? Is there's some difference in the parts. Maybe, Uh,

495
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: sometimes it's a different kind of parts. And make sure

496
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 1: you understand is that a used part or a aftermarket

497
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 1: part as in a cap of certified part, or is

498
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: it being repaired and not replaced. It might be the

499
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,439
Speaker 1: same amount of lines, but one shops electing to repair

500
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: a part as opposed to replacing it. Uh. We're not

501
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: real big into repairing headlights because it's hard to get

502
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: them back to pre accident condition. And that still with

503
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: my goal. Yeah, and I guess you know, when you

504
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: pick the car up, you want to walk around look at, um,

505
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: what gaps in the doors and does the paint match

506
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff. Well, yeah, I mean the

507
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: cars aren't built perfect from the factory. But yet if

508
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: you look at the gaps on the left front fender,

509
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: uh the upper and the lower part, and check their

510
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: right front fenders, it's not the same. Start asking why

511
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: and make them explain it. Do you do you think

512
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 1: it's okay to use a body shop without a spray booth.

513
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: I have to throw that one into our conversation that

514
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 1: I love to sell that. Yeah, that's not legal in

515
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 1: the in city metro area. Um, you know, we've been

516
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: using water born paint for years just to be cognizance of,

517
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: uh the environment, and uh it's not exactly the fastest,

518
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: but uh it definitely comes up with something is environmentally secure,

519
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: good well and environmentally secure. And also you know the

520
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 1: way they're painting cars out of the factory today is

521
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: is M water. It's so technical, I guess is the

522
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: way I want to think of it. And you really

523
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: need that clean environment. You really need a spray booth

524
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,480
Speaker 1: to paint cars today. It's not like twenty years ago. Yeah,

525
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: and then from the factory they're using the water born painting.

526
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: We have to in the aftermarket out here in the industry,

527
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: we have to use something that can match what the O.

528
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: E M does and it has to be blended. Today's

529
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: paints are not designed to just paint offender and then

530
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,479
Speaker 1: put it on. It's designed to be blended to use

531
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 1: the paint matches we get. We get cars to come

532
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: in and they're might be ten codes for the same

533
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,640
Speaker 1: color that was made on that car. They're out there.

534
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean, there'll be ten different cars out there with

535
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: a different color, and so we have to figure out

536
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: which one was used on that particular vehicle and match. Yeah,

537
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: I can understand that. Talk a little bit about car

538
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: Star before I let you go, Gerald, if you could,

539
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: you know, you go to car Star Wickland. You're you're

540
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,359
Speaker 1: in Liberty, Missouri, somebody you fix a car, or maybe

541
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: somebody in California uses a car Star facility out there,

542
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: and then somebody shows up at Gerald's door. Hey, I

543
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: had this fixed out in California, and you know, now

544
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: I've got a problem three months later. Is there a

545
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 1: Is there a nationwide benefit to go into a car

546
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: Star shop like that? Absolutely? We give a lifetime guarantee

569
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 1: Richard and main oh ate Silverado four wheel drive and

570
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: some morning on the dashboard. Richard, welcome to the Car Doctor.

571
00:28:58,080 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: How can I help, sir? How you going today? Cuts

572
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: or what's going on? Yeah? I have a No. Eight

573
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: Silverado Trucks full wheel drive and when I got it,

574
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: it had to the wheels were all rushed in the

575
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: paint with chipping, so I got some finale wheels off

576
00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 1: an old GMC and the monitors that monitor the tire pressure.

577
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 1: They are all crowd in the moment and was all

578
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: oxidized together. So I took them all out. And now

579
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: every time when I stopped my vehicle, I get a

580
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: service tie monitor system on the on the dashboard, like

581
00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: one of the only way I could just take that

582
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: use or something. Nope, Nope, it's tied in. It's it's

583
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: it's it's either tied in through the BCM or one

584
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 1: of the restraint control modules, depending upon how GM optioned

585
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: it out. Uh, no way to deal with it other

586
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: than put sensors back in it. That's it. The only

587
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: about the only thing you can do to modify t

588
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: pms on some of the GM products. And you know

589
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: that's where all the car companies are. And this is

590
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 1: the results of the federal government. This isn't. This isn't.

591
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: This isn't. The car companies, the car our companies were

592
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: mandated by the government beginning and model year two thousand

593
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: and eight to put tire pressure monitoring systems in largely

594
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: because of the problems that the Ford Explorers had way

595
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 1: back twenty years ago, and there were other vehicles where

596
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: they you know, alleged low tire inflation caused the accidents

597
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 1: and instability. I could, I can tell you the argument

598
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: against that, but that's my own theory, and I'm not

599
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: really I generally don't bring it up. Um, but suffice

600
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: it to say that it's there because of that, and

601
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: the only way you're gonna get rid of it, I

602
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 1: know of no workarounds. Um you know, it's a piece

603
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: of tape over the dashboard, but you know, um, yeah,

604
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: it's and yeah, and the problem is, you know, the

605
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 1: problem is, Richard, You've got to get used to it.

606
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: I know it's hard, it's it's listen. I'm I'm more

607
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: on you know, not in money. I'm you know, the

608
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: baby boom on something, you know, in my seventies and

609
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: night I'm a petcil and paper and the race the guy,

610
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 1: and I hate technology to the end of it. Brother.

611
00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: I always walked on my own vehicle. Brother, I get it.

612
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:03,640
Speaker 1: I'm right behind you. I'm you know, I graduated high

613
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: school in seventy four. You can do the math and

614
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: figure out how old I am. And yeah, you know

615
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: it's um yeah, let's see sixty five sixty five Corvette

616
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: three ninety four and a quarter side pipes. Yeah, those

617
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: were the car we're you know, I had a sixty

618
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 1: seven side. And you know, if we if we talk

619
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,320
Speaker 1: like that with the kids today, they'll go, what you have?

620
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 1: What as the kid today? If they've ever dimmed the

621
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: headlights for the left butt and they look at you

622
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 1: get three hits? Well, ask your kid to tell a

623
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 1: kid today you're gonna get your tires rotated and they say,

624
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: don't you do that when you drive the car? Um,

625
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: you know it's that we shouldn't pick on the kids today.

626
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's it's they they just they're just

627
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: not We've just got to educate them and I And

628
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: then again, I don't know, Richard, Maybe we're just a

629
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: couple of old cadres and maybe we just really don't

630
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: matter anymore. I don't know. I asked, what I think happen?

631
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 1: The technology is passing us? Yeah, it's and that's okay.

632
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: All I have to do is I just have to

633
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: hit the the I'm gonna reset button and it goes

634
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 1: out every time comes on. I just thought, no, it's

635
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:11,160
Speaker 1: it's gonna it's gonna be all tied together, sir. I'm sorry. Um,

636
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: I know of no programming option. Like I was gonna say,

637
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: the only thing you could do to an OH eight

638
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: and I did it to mine. I had a way.

639
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 1: I had an O eight Silverados. I could go with

640
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: the scan tool and I could lower the warning where

641
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 1: the tire pressure would come on. But I don't believe

642
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: zero was one of the warnings. Um, so I think

643
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,600
Speaker 1: I think you're stuck with it. So all right, all right,

644
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: I'll keep listening to do off and say, you know,

645
00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: technology you can go with where they want to go.

646
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate and listen. You keep listening to keep very

647
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 1: You're welcome, Richard. You take good care. Technology is a

648
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 1: tough deal, folks. We just we're just not going to

649
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: get away from it. And um it's just it just

650
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 1: keeps coming at us. That's listen and think of it

651
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,800
Speaker 1: like this. We're only in the infancy, all right. We

652
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: are only in the infancy. I wonder where it's gonna

653
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: be a hundred years from now. Somebody who telling me

654
00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 1: the other day they have apps now, and I guess

655
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm probably old saying this, but there are apps for

656
00:32:57,600 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: your phone that can take your phones can take your

657
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: blood pressure. Yeah, I tom shaking and said yes, so

658
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: I so just imagine where it's gonna be. Uh Yet

659
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: I'm waiting for my start direct transporter. Well, you know

660
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: they say there was an article and I've talked about

661
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 1: this now. It's got to be fifteen years ago that

662
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 1: some physicists in Sweden transported a pencil from one end

663
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: of the table to the other. They they they de

664
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: energized it and re energized it. And I looked into it.

665
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: I swear to God, this is the truth, all right.

666
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: And I talked to a friend of mine who's a physicist,

667
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: and he said the problem is at the submolecular level,

668
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: there are too many characteristics that what if we change

669
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: things and made you into an idiot? And I said, yeah,

670
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: but think of all the idiots we could turn into

671
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: normal people. And that's when he said to me, yeah,

672
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: we'll never do it because it would take far too long,

673
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: because there's far too many of them than the roar

674
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: of us. And I left it there. I'm rononading in

675
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: the car. Doctor, We're coming back. Don't go away. We'll

676
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: just put that white suit of way by the way.

677
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, where is um running in the car? Doctor?

678
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: We're back? Where is uh? Mr Mr discotheq. Um, is

679
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: he still mourning the Giants? I don't know what he's

00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: doing today. He's um, he's not here. No, I know,

681
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: you just got to pick him up. No oh no,

682
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: I know it wasn't my turn. Well, yeah, you know,

683
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: I was wondering because in the break room there's that

684
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: extra sandwich. Well, that's okay. Do you want do you

685

00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: My wife will half supper for us when I get home. Okay,

687
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: I was just just wondering. Um. But yeah, I notice.

688
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: I think Tony's UM. I don't know. Maybe he's mourning.

689
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,240
Speaker 1: Maybe he's mourning the giants. Um. Did you see the article?

690
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: By the way, we're not gonna talk cars for Actually,

691
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: he might be sick because the Red Sox made it

692
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: into the World Series. I could understand why would be

693
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: sick about that? Um being a being a being a

694
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: Red Sox Yankees fan that he is. Um. Uh, I

695
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: don't want to talk about that. UM. I want to

696
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: talk about this mass that I worked on this week,

697
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 1: real quick. Um comes a point where you have to

698
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 1: is the word exude common sense? I think it's kind

699
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: of like what Kenny Roger said, you gotta know when

700
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: to hold them, and you gotta know when to fold them.

701
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:13,800
Speaker 1: It was an O eight Mas the c X nine

702
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: that had a water leak to the point of the

703
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: inside of the windshield. Looked like the shower all right.

704
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,479
Speaker 1: It was just soaking wet every morning. But that isn't

705
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: what the car was there for. The car was there

706
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 1: because it allegedly had a misfire and a stutter on

707
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 1: the road. After I diagnosed that and it came out

708
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,800
Speaker 1: the well, it could be transmission, it could be admission,

709
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: it could be this, it could be that. Between that,

710
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,800
Speaker 1: the water leak, the wiper blades, the brakes, and everything

711
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 1: else the car needed. I said, hey, it's time to go.

712
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: You gotta know when to fold them. You gotta know

713
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 1: when to hold them. I'm running any of the car. Doctor,

714
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 1: and mechanics aren't expensive. They're priceless. Let's see you
