1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,159 Speaker 1: The following program has been pre reported. Ron and Anien 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: I was a little annoyed with a s C because 3 00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: they sent out an email this week talking about doing 4 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: a webinar for mechanics four o'clock on a Friday afternoon. 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: You know that's the witching hour. You don't do anything 6 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: at four o'clock on a Friday after except get the 7 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 1: cars done and go home the car Doctor. If they 8 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: tried hand cranking it and it doesn't move, they're saying 9 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: it seased. You know, at at two hundred thousand miles, 10 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: you start to lay out the dollars you know in 11 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 1: your head. Welcome to the radio home of Ron and 12 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,680 Speaker 1: Anian the Car Doctor, since this is where car owners 13 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. 14 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up 15 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: the phone and call in the garage. Do orders are open? 16 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: But I am here to take your calls at eight 17 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: five five and now he running Welcome aboard. You know, 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: if our first guest this hour, um, how do I 19 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: introduce this gentleman? It's um, I'll say it like this. 20 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: If the card docks have been working on car since 21 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: dirt was invented and God was young. Um, this guy 22 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: was on the other side of the sand box throwing 23 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: dirt right back at me because he was right there 24 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: doing it to Chris Lewis, Director of Training, Automotive Training Group. Chris, 25 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: welcome aboard, sir, Oh, you're very welcome. Listen, it's been 26 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,119 Speaker 1: a while. I think you've you know, we know each other, 27 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: what thirty five years, and I think you've been on 28 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: somewhere along the way, but it's it's been a while, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, 29 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: but I've been on before. Yeah. Um. You know you 30 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: are a director of training for the Automotive Training Group, 31 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: a national training organization for mechanics, and I can't I 32 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: couldn't think of anybody more qualified to come up here 33 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: and talk to us today about well, some of your 34 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: training experiences, but I wanted to center a little bit 35 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 1: about a DOS Advanced Driver Assist Systems because it's fast 36 00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: becoming well my opinion, my perspective, and then we'll get yours. Chris. 37 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: Of course, it's fast becoming, um an industry hot button. 38 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: What is it about that? What can you tell us? Well, 39 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: for us, let's explain what ADS is. Some people might 40 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 1: have heard the terminology I know of some of my 41 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: students have never heard that, but it stands for Advanced 42 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: driver's systems. And the one other thing most people would 43 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: understand it you but the car reverse and is a 44 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: camera so you don't hit anything. Um. Other systems diffamiliar 45 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: with a blind spot detection, like there's a car in 46 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: the lane next to you, did the light goes on 47 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 1: and you merrison to that that effect. And then it gets 48 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: a little more advanced with lane departure warning, adaptive cruise 49 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: control of forward collision warnings. And these systems have been 50 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,679 Speaker 1: around for every bit of ten plus years on cars today. Yeah, 51 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: so absolutely, and you'll see them. You know a lot 52 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: of people think, well, it's it's only on newer cars. 53 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: I think Mercedes had it starting back oh eight oh nine, right, 54 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: wasn't it wasn't it that far back or maybe ten, No, 55 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: it was back that far. It was back that far 56 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: that they've had some version of the system. Um. You know, 57 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: some people want to realize that it's there. Uh, it's 58 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,359 Speaker 1: a part of aid US. But it's a summary is 59 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: the title that the industry has given it for all 60 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: these different things, and even the commercials with a car 61 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: parks itself. It's all based upon the same principles, and 62 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: it's changing the way mechanics have to look at the 63 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 1: repair and the way you want to motive. The consumer's 64 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: gonna look at repair and and everybody wants this, right, well, 65 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 1: a lot of people seem to want it, but now 66 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,839 Speaker 1: the problem is becoming it's it's it's mandatory, absolutely mandatory 67 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: to follow procedures because the least little thing will upset 68 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,560 Speaker 1: the apple cards so to speak. Uh, incorrect wiper blades 69 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,640 Speaker 1: Chris and I. Right, we were talking about this during 70 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: the week before the show when we were talking about 71 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: this show, Right, how can a wiper blade affect an 72 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: aidas system? Alright, So if you put on the wrong 73 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: size wiper blade, and won't mean by that is one 74 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: that's too long, how longer than it should be? And 75 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 1: most people look at their front windshield, um, from the 76 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: outside looking in, they're gonna see it's a camera above 77 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: with their via view mirror amounts and that's looking for 78 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: obstacles in the road. Um, if you're depending on the 79 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: systems you've got, it could have been for collision avoidance. 80 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 1: Who could be adaptive cruise controlled the lane departure that 81 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: camera could be looking at the white lines and could 82 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: be obscured when the wiper is on and the camera's focused, 83 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden it's out of focus and 84 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: then't focus, and then you get a message on the dash. 85 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 1: And that could be a tough diagnosis for a technician 86 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: who didn't realize he just put on a one inch 87 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: too big um wiper and and and maybe it's a 88 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: result of maybe it's not even his fault, but that 89 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:34,239 Speaker 1: brand hasn't held you know, maybe it's a cheap wiper blade. 90 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: Let's say it like that. And yeah, right, the manufacturer 91 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: doesn't follow that exact blueprint from the original equipment. And 92 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: now all of a sudden, Chris, it doesn't have to 93 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: be an inch, right, a quarter of an inch long 94 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: wiper blade. If it's in the white, if it's in 95 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: the camera sweep, the game's over, right. And sometimes it 96 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: doesn't have to quite be in the camera sweep. It 97 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: could be just enough for that camera to be slightly confused. 98 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: And just to give you an idea, when we talk 99 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: about these systems and when technicians have to set these 100 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: things up and make adjustments, we are down to one 101 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: tent of one degree accuracy. Wow. Yeah, yeah, a wiper 102 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: blade can definitely UM. And then there's not a lot 103 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: of common problems with wiper blade. Is just something as 104 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: simple as a wiper blade. UM. One area I think 105 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: that's gonna be more simple for mechanics and technicians is 106 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: when you pull you have sometimes you pull through a 107 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: headlight or were parking bowl, but directional bawl. You might 108 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: have to lower the bumper down a little bit. Behind 109 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: those bumpers could be radar units that if they get disturbed, 110 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 1: they have to be realigned. And and all of a sudden, 111 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,799 Speaker 1: that's simple bulb replacement. That that twenty bulb replacement, whatever 112 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: it might be. If the bumper's got to come down, 113 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: it's obviously a little bit more. But all of a sudden, 114 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: now you're into a calibration procedure that could be a 115 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: couple of three bucks, right yeah. Um. And And the 116 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: point that I know you and I spoke about this 117 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: quite a few times. The point that I'm concerned with 118 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: when I go out and teach this subject is more 119 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: into the tune of let's not be the cause of 120 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,919 Speaker 1: the customers could problem. You know, these are safety systems 121 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 1: are there to help us and keep us safe on 122 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: the road. Um, I don't want us to do a 123 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: simple job, and even a simple wheel alignment. And uh, 124 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: the next thing, you know, one of the safety feature 125 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: isn't working properly. And then I got, you know, I'm 126 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 1: liable for getting it fixed properly or aligned, and I 127 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: might not have the equipment I got to send it out. 128 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: And you know what, the cars have changed. These safety 129 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: systems are pretty cool. Um, they make us safe and 130 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: pay and playing English. I got a lot of these 131 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: features on my new F one fifty. Um, and I 132 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 1: guess that you know, when it's time to do basic work, 133 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: it's just gonna be a little more careful and more educated. Well, 134 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: one of the things you and I have really agreed 135 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: on over and over over the years is we really 136 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 1: take somebody's life in our hands working on their car, 137 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: and there is no place for a short cut. And 138 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: now with the safety systems, to not do proper procedure 139 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 1: is asking for a problem, and we're creating the issue. 140 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: We're defeating what we're trying to do to make something safe. 141 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: Because like you, like you told me, Chris, and you 142 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: know what, I couldn't agree more. It's like you always say, 143 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: it could be your mother in that car, could be 144 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: your grandmother in that car, could be your kids in 145 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: that car. They've got to be safe. Well, it goes 146 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: back to simple break jobs and set of tires. Do 147 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: you want to put on something that's very, very inexpensive 148 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: but it might not stop, um quickly or properly enough. 149 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: God forbid, you need to do a panic of stop. Um, 150 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: the tire is gonna be able to handle a true 151 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: rough road condition. You know, you're more of the tire 152 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: experts than I am, But no, you know, and I 153 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 1: really think that. Then again, this is something you and 154 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: I've talked about a million times. The consumer wants their 155 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: car returned and have safe and reliable to put their 156 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: family in. Um. I mean I remember for years people 157 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: would come in and like July in early August and say, 158 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: can you go over the car and my son's taking 159 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: it off of my daughter's taken it off to college. Yeah, 160 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 1: it's got to be safe. So you know who needs 161 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: that ADS training class, Chris, Because by the numbers, are 162 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: you filling the class? Are you guys? Are you guys 163 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: having good success or is it like pulling teeth? Um? Well, 164 00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: I think training in general is. Sometimes it's more like 165 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: pulling teeth. UM. People don't know what they don't know. 166 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: Meeting technicians. UM. You know, some technicians struggle with their 167 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: diagnostics and even non ADAS systems and they don't realize 168 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: they might be an easier way or a different way. 169 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: We try to say easier or more efficient, which helps 170 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: everybody involved. UM. And a lot of technicians aren't aware 171 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: of what AIDA stands for. And you really can't advertise 172 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: all of these new crazy systems. They a lot of 173 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,319 Speaker 1: people tell us that, well, we don't work on them. 174 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: The customer doesn't come in with a rear camera not working. 175 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: They don't come in with a blind spot in system 176 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,319 Speaker 1: not working. And that's not what it's about. It's about that, 177 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: you know. UM, the accidentally hit a mirror backing out 178 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: of your garage. Everybody has done that and it needs 179 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,319 Speaker 1: a quick, simple mirror. It's a fift team had to 180 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: put it on. But there could be a radar system 181 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,719 Speaker 1: or camera in there working with the blind spot, or 182 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: would be any sort of other safety issue. And if 183 00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 1: it's not dealt with properly by the technician, then will 184 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: that system work? I mean I don't know. And if 185 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: every car is gonna be some little animal. But you know, 186 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: like anything else, technicians need to learn that these cars. 187 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,679 Speaker 1: Technology is changing at unbelievable space. I mean, was another 188 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: half hour from now, they're going to release the four 189 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 1: electric vehicle that's gonna be in everybody's bay soon. Sure, 190 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,679 Speaker 1: you know, let's listen, we talk about how things change 191 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 1: and evolve when we come back. Let's talk about something 192 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: that everybody has to go through usually once in the 193 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 1: life of a vehicle. A windshield replacement. How has that changed? 194 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 1: How could Chris, it's a clear piece of glass. How 195 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 1: could changing a clear piece of glass affect the ADAS system? 196 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: Hold that thought like I can hear it in your 197 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: head already, my my brother. Let me let me pull 198 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: over and take this pause. I'm running aiding in the car. Doctor. 199 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: We're here with Chris Lewis, director of training for a 200 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: t G and we're talking about AIDS. We're glad to 201 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 1: have him, We're glad to have you here with us. 202 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: We'll both be right back after this. Don't go away. 203 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: Got number time right it on the wall so you 204 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: don't forget to call for a car advice done right? 205 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: Eight five five five zero zero zero. Now back to row. Hey, 206 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: let's get on back to Chris Lewis, Director of Training, 207 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: Automotive Training Group. Chris, when we when we pulled away 208 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 1: for the pause, you're we're talking about windshields, right, How 209 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: hard could it be? What? What? What could possibly being 210 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: so involved in replacing a piece of clear glass? And 211 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 1: then along comes ADA Systems, right Advanced driver assist Now 212 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: what happens that? That's a great one because um and 213 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:00,959 Speaker 1: I actually thought this class on Saturday and had a 214 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: couple of service advisors. Small shops don't change the windshield themselves. 215 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: They call it glass company. And number one, when you 216 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: remove the glass, you're gonna have to remove the camera 217 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: from behind it. So okay, it's not the camera goes 218 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: back in. And again we're talking one tent of a 219 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: degree accuracy and some applications, so is it sitting a dent? 220 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: And I'm not a glass expert, but the clarity of 221 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: the glass can make a big difference. And um, not 222 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,200 Speaker 1: me personally, but you know when I do my research 223 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: and I talked to people and people that do this 224 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: on a regular basis, the calibrations, they say that some 225 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: of the ftermarket glass companies have had problems not the 226 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: company itself. The quality of the glass manufacturing is an issue, right, 227 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 1: and they have to go back to oe UM. We've 228 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: got a couple of US case studies and information from 229 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: other mechanics students of ours where like window coatings and tinting. 230 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: You know, somebody like to tint their windows or UM 231 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: some of the code as you can get out there 232 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: so it repels water better when it rains. Thinks of 233 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: that effect have been a little bit of a concern, 234 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,560 Speaker 1: and it's not a problem yet. It's just something that UM. 235 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 1: If I have a vehicle and I have a problem 236 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: with anything with the AID system and it's had a 237 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: recent work on the windshield or any kind of coding 238 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: or tinting, it could be a safety concern. So the 239 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: listeners really have to be aware of if you know, 240 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 1: all of a sudden they're replacing a piece of glass, 241 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: if they've got a camera, if they've got uh certain 242 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,959 Speaker 1: levels of adas, if the if the manufacturer calls for it, 243 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: they've got to do the calibration. We had a call 244 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: about six seven months ago from a listener in Florida 245 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: that I think I told you this story. The woman 246 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 1: had her Subaru had the windshield replaced by the dealer, 247 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: and the dealer said, you know, put, we have to 248 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: do a calibration, and her husband said, no, I don't 249 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: need that. I hate to be this guy because if 250 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 1: you're talking to me a long story short, I explained 251 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,439 Speaker 1: to her that it's got to get calibrated. She had 252 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: the eight system calibrated and called us back the next 253 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 1: week and said, my cars fixed. My husband's in a 254 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 1: lot of trouble. Uh, you know, so you know it's 255 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,960 Speaker 1: it's it's it's different. Everything is different now and even 256 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: using a factory piece of glass, it may require calibration. 257 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: So for the shop that says I don't need as training, 258 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: I don't work on that system. I guess you're not 259 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 1: doing windshields anymore. I guess you're not doingside your mirrors anymore. Right, 260 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 1: you're here, you're limiting what you can do on the car. 261 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: It's everywhere. Sure, I mean we can go into the 262 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: scenario of replacing tires if you go to an oversized 263 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: height wise that control the angle of the radar and 264 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: the camera off um we alignments any major adjustment that's needed, 265 00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,640 Speaker 1: or do we call it trust angle or the tracking 266 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 1: of the vehicle or everybody seeing we're driving on the 267 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: road and looks like the car in front of going crooked, 268 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: the camera radar not pointing in their proper direction. And 269 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 1: this just simply think of A B S many years ago. 270 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: When do you find out if your A B S works? Oh, 271 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 1: usually when you need correct and unfortunately with some of 272 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: the eight our stuff, it could be the same thing 273 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 1: that you're expecting you know to uh, um shift go 274 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: over to you know, switch lanes and you turn the 275 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: directional on and there's no blinking light in your mirror, 276 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: so you think it may be safe, um, because they're 277 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: so used to them blinking like telling you it's safe 278 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 1: and it's not. Um. And you know you said if 279 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: someone never wants to get involved any calibration of the 280 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: shop himself a technician itself, I mean it's fine, it's 281 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: it's a large investment, it's a lot of knowledge, but 282 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: understanding what these systems are and how it affects pretty 283 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 1: much every person working on a car today that you 284 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: said it before, A simple tell light, a simple headlight. Um. 285 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 1: You know, we get into timing chains or radiators or 286 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: incarnation condensers where sometimes you've got to remove the grill 287 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 1: and that's where the radar sits UM windshield we mentioned um. 288 00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: You know, there's just so many little variables and it's 289 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: not a air tactic. But the cars have changed. There 290 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: are a lot safer, they last longer. We have to 291 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: change the mindset from the technician side and the consumer side. Um, 292 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: these systems are here to stay. It's the let's say, 293 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 1: the beginning phases of the self driving vehicle, which is 294 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 1: probably another five to ten, maybe fifteen years down the 295 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: road in my opinion, but this is the start of it. 296 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: So the answer the question, everybody, anybody who works on 297 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: cars should be aware of atis UM and what it 298 00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: really is. And all these system things. Cross traffic alert automatic. 299 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: I mean my F one fifty. If you walk in 300 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: front of my truck, it stops on a dime and 301 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: I ain't even touching the break. That's gonna pedestrians a 302 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: warning and pedestrian avoidance. That's that's a great system, Chris. 303 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: When when a t G, I'm sorry, when when a 304 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 1: t G develops a class, can we talk about that. 305 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: We've got about three minutes left. What what you know? 306 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: This isn't something you sit down and write this class 307 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 1: in two weeks. What does it take. What does it 308 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 1: take to develop a class on all of them, but 309 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: a Dawes in particular. You've been working on this for months. Yeah, 310 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: well technically to let you know how it goes, going 311 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: to give Tim Flannery. He's a a CEO of of 312 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: a t G and he probably spends every bit of 313 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: four to five months doing nothing but researching, um, getting 314 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: his hands on cars. Sometimes he'll go to other shops. Uh, 315 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 1: He'll five known. He flies around the country and go 316 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: to shops and see what they're experiencing and and work 317 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 1: on those cars and and just get a feel of 318 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 1: not just what the car manufacturer says what you can 319 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: read online or google. You might say, UM, this is 320 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: a lot of real world stuff. And then he presented 321 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 1: to them to me. Between the proof reading and UM, 322 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: we kind of split the power point responsibilities. And then 323 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: I go on, I teach you and right now up 324 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: to nine different trainers um. And then the trainer goes 325 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 1: out and tries to verify you. You know what Chris 326 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: told me this or I read this and I'm not 327 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 1: a hundred insurance. Let me go down to John's or 328 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 1: Ron shop and Ron, let's go look at you know 329 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: what I mean, U, It takes a lot because, um, 330 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:05,360 Speaker 1: if what you learn from a t G or our 331 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: books was the same you read online, why would you 332 00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: need us? Right right? Well, that's one thing that a 333 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 1: t G has always done. You've always given the mechanics 334 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 1: the good information, but also real world scenarios and how 335 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,920 Speaker 1: to deal with it. And I think that's really what 336 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: the mechanics are going to need, the technicians will call 337 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 1: them that are going to need today because a DOS 338 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: is everywhere. You know, the fuel injection systems are changing, 339 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 1: the transmissions are changing it. So you've got to look 340 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: at the entire package. And one of the great things 341 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 1: that a t G does is you always break it 342 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: down at the simple terms. We talk about Alms law, right, 343 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: you know we we we can't fix Alms law like 344 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: you and I always say. Guys are still learning about 345 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,480 Speaker 1: O B D two some of them can't spell it, 346 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: and the system has only been out since ninety six. 347 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: What does that six? Yeah? Yeah, twenty five years and 348 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: and they're still learning what's freeze frame and what's mode six? 349 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,719 Speaker 1: Christ is always a pleasure where can the listeners get 350 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 1: more information real quick?

I think it just goes back a 384 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: long time ago, you know when we started fooling with 385 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: a car, with cars we thought would never end, and 386 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 1: it's just gotten to where now they almost they almost 387 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: come to an end with everything being so modern. But 388 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: then guys, you know, just holding onto that old car situation, 389 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: what they had with their dad, just as I did. 390 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 1: And I don't know, just it's just one of them things, 391 00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: you guys, then your blood of what you really enjoy doing, 392 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,200 Speaker 1: you know, having a different idea of a car, the 393 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: things you could do to it. You know, it's just 394 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: it'll never leave. I'm sure it's going to be around forever. 395 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 1: What was your first car, Chuck, the nineteen fifty six 396 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: Ford Victoria. What did you do to it? Do you remember? Yeah? 397 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: It was just one of the things that were three 398 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,159 Speaker 1: twelve so you fool around with two three deuces on it. 399 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: That was your biggest thing, as you know, continental mufflers 400 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff to make sound good. 401 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: It was all that kind of cool stuff. We enjoyed 402 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: and just just really enjoyed at that stuff. You don't 403 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: have your first car, do you? I do, but it's 404 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 1: not the original Victoria and the two four barrels on it. 405 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 1: But I do have it. It's not the original one, 406 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: but I do have a fifty six Ford Victoria. So 407 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 1: is that what the car show is about? People walking 408 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: down memory Lane and seeing that car, that first car, 409 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: maybe that's similar to what they had, and it just 410 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: generates conversation and recall you memories for the Yeah, absolutely 411 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: no doubt about it. You see it every year. The 412 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: World of Car Show has been going on how many 413 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 1: years now, just a thirteenth year doing it, and you 414 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: know we've been very successful at it. For somebody that 415 00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 1: didn't know much about car shows, you get a quick education, right, right. 416 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: And it started out not as just the car show. 417 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: It was another piece of Americana that you guys were 418 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,040 Speaker 1: trying to preserve, right. That was a train station, the 419 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: train station, train station. Yeah. And and why was the 420 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: train station so important? You know, gee, it's just the building, chuck, 421 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,600 Speaker 1: isn't it. Yeah? It is just part of what was 422 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: going on in history at the time of what where 423 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: it all began, you know, a little train station in 424 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: town of Altick. It was just we're a little stole there. 425 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 1: Everybody we'll keep warming in winter time to get their 426 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 1: ticket for the train and things. And then it's just 427 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,200 Speaker 1: a little piece of history. There was a shame to 428 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: see go down the tubes and that's where it was going. 429 00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: Simpler times, right, And uh, you know maybe maybe in 430 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: the crazy world of today, we need simpler times, and 431 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: maybe that's the attraction for the for the train station, 432 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,239 Speaker 1: for the car show, for everything that goes on there, right, 433 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: I believe. So that's why I believe the same way 434 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: you're thinking. It really makes people that's the train station. 435 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: Where it's at the train station, they don't forget it, 436 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: that's for sure. You know, nothing nothing bad happens at 437 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: car shows per se. Right, you know, at your car show, 438 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: you you see more and more families come out, right, 439 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,639 Speaker 1: they bring the kids, and the kids sit there and 440 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: I mean they're they're wide eyed at the chrome on 441 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: the cars. And everybody has a story about where that 442 00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: car came from or what that car means to him. 443 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: And it generates a lot of good bonding for families, right, Oh, absolutely, 444 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 1: And then they talk about they say, oh, yeah, that's 445 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: the kind car my dad had, and this, you know, 446 00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff comes to head about that. 447 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: It just goes on and on about if I had 448 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: that car one time. You know, I remember that car, 449 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 1: and I wish I had that car back, you know. 450 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: And that's the kids go.

It's not everybody's on their 453 00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: phone pushing buttons. No, only to take pictures. That's about. 454 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 1: That's part of the phone at this point in life 455 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: is they take beautiful pictures. Right.

I know, I know, I know. 505 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 1: Chuck has a as as a as a small car collection. 506 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: What's what's new in the car collection this year? What 507 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 1: do you really like? What and why did you buy it? 508 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: I'm just curious and the listeners always seem to want 509 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 1: to know this too. Yeah, all right, Well there was 510 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: two actually, and we actually end up with the whole 511 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 1: Colgan car, which is a viper and what is his car? 512 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: We ended up what it was for the He does 513 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 1: a thing called the fifty Legs for kids that you know, 514 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: he makes these prosthetic legs. So we we just got 515 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 1: into a little idea with that and end up with 516 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: helping him and we got his car. That was one 517 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 1: of the best things that ever could happen in our 518 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: life to help out something that was really worthy. And 519 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: then the other one thing that we have purchased this 520 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 1: year was at Chevy Pick up from one of our 521 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: customers basically that did it from the body off restoration 522 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: and he's had it for like thirty years and he 523 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: didn't want nobody to grab it. He didn't want to 524 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: be just like to see if you can put with 525 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,399 Speaker 1: our collection. And that's what we did. It all the 526 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: fun stuff that we all like to see and enjoy 527 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 1: and drive. Right when you when you started in the 528 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: business truck and you know you've been doing this longer 529 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: than me. You've been in a while, brother, Um did 530 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 1: you you know with with with three twelves and three 531 00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 1: deuces and to four barrels, and how mechanical it was. 532 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: Did you ever think you'd see such an electronic age 533 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,959 Speaker 1: of the automobile? No, No, never did. Actually was one 534 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: of the things just probably as you will now too, 535 00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: that when they all started coming along so that we 536 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 1: don't need that, right, we don't need that. And now 537 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: it's just it's just you can't describe the automobile industry 538 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 1: to anybody, you say, you have to be in it 539 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: and live it. And I think that applies to cruising 540 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: and hot rods as well, right, Yeah, And seeing some 541 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: of that technology became very worthwhile for the cruisers because 542 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 1: it took what went pretty good, now it goes fantastic, 543 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,360 Speaker 1: right right, Hey, listen, Chuck.

But car 574 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 1: showed down there and then you might see the Car 575 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: Doctor sneaking around. You never know who's gonna show up. 576 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 1: I'll be the guy wearing the mask. Ha ha. I 577 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,600 Speaker 1: want to talk about Frank's car. Frank is a listener 578 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: from South Jersey who sent me an email this week. 579 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,960 Speaker 1: Run My nephew has a two thousand, nine miles the 580 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: six with nine thousand miles. He's had all kind of 581 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: problems with check engine lights, key five is not working 582 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 1: in poor guest miles. He took it to a reputable 583 00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: shop here in South Jersey who said they believe the 584 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,320 Speaker 1: problem is in the main computer and they recommended that 585 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: he get rid of the car because even replacing the 586 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: computer doesn't fix them. They told him that they chatted 587 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: with MAZA, who told them that this was a problem 588 00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,959 Speaker 1: on these vehicles and there was no guarantee of a solution. 589 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 1: He called MASA directly and they advised him the diagnosis 590 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: would be six and likely to repair over three thousand 591 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: with no guarantees. As a software developer, this seems so 592 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: odd to me and wrong. It seems that no one 593 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 1: wants to fix the car. I believe that with a 594 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: little work in the direction, it can be fixed. The 595 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,320 Speaker 1: car is very nice and otherwise well taken care of. 596 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 1: What I'm thinking is that the computer could be repaired 597 00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: and put back in the vehicle. Do you have an 598 00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: experience with these vehicles and unreliable computer issues? Also, do 599 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: you do you or have you used any of the 600 00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,400 Speaker 1: repair services such as this one? And he sends me 601 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: a link for a computer repair service. Your guidance would 602 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:43,719 Speaker 1: be appreciative. Thanks, Frank. You know what, Frank, I think 603 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: everybody's taking the wrong approach for diagnosis here. I'd love 604 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: to know what the fault codes were. I'm going to 605 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,959 Speaker 1: assume it's at P zero six hundred, which has got 606 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 1: into be a common mass the sixth fault that is 607 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,520 Speaker 1: an internal error inside the PCM. It puts the vehicle 608 00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: in limpmode. We've seen this a few times. The biggest 609 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: problem you're going to have as the key fobs. If 610 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: the key fobs require programming, that's difficult and after market world, 611 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 1: and that's you need a locksmith license and some various 612 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: other legislation to get through that. But let's talk about 613 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: the problem with the check engine light in the computer. 614 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 1: I don't understand the six diagnosis. I would call another 615 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: MAS the dealer and and ask them, hey, listen, I've 616 00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: got a vehicle with check engine lights, key fobs not 617 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 1: working just like you describe it. What is the diagnosis, 618 00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: where does that start? And what could this possibly be? 619 00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: And I would get a second opinion. Here's a case 620 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: where I would get a second opinion because you've got 621 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,760 Speaker 1: no relationship with any of these guys and you're walking 622 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:40,959 Speaker 1: with this cold hardcore driveability problem. So it's a question 623 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:43,200 Speaker 1: of let's talk to a few more people. I think 624 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,440 Speaker 1: this is a good vehicle to do some research. I 625 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: agree it's twelve years old. I'd be worried about rust 626 00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 1: if there is none. Get a good look at the 627 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,200 Speaker 1: vehicle overall. But I think before you condemn this car 628 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: and just write it off, you need more diagnostic information 629 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,680 Speaker 1: and some more testing before they can make this determination. 630 00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 1: I would ask look think back in memory. Have has 631 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: this car been in the family or has he owned 632 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: it since new? Could you possibly be dealing with a 633 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: wiring harness issue I've seen that affect these computers and 634 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: create the P zero six. Could you be dealing with 635 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,200 Speaker 1: a wiring harness issue from an accident that wasn't properly 636 00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: repaired and that might lead you down the wrong path 637 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: as far as getting the computer repaired. Listen, it's worth 638 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: to try. Provided you get to that point in the diagnosis. 639 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 1: Keep in mind this could also be a problem with 640 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: PCM or engine computer connectors. That's a that's a problem 641 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 1: or a person a possibility as well. Call me back 642 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: or you know, call me with information or send me 643 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: an email back. We can go over this further. Ifew 644 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:42,719 Speaker 1: and need more help, Glad to do what I can 645 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:47,160 Speaker 1: for you. Zero Ronning of the Car Doctor. I'll be 646 00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:55,080 Speaker 1: back right after this. Welcome back Ron the car Doctor, 647 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,239 Speaker 1: winding things down this hour. A recent report came out 648 00:32:58,280 --> 00:32:59,800 Speaker 1: at the beginning of the month from the Federal Trade 649 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,640 Speaker 1: can Mission. The FTC jumped in uh talking about the 650 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,479 Speaker 1: right to repair. It seems that all the claims are 651 00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,239 Speaker 1: not all the claims, but some of the claims by 652 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,840 Speaker 1: the automotive aftermarket have been true. Look at that that 653 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:17,480 Speaker 1: the automotive manufacturers are creating monopolies and monopolizing and restricting 654 00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: repairs by not providing correct and enough information. And I 655 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 1: hear rumors from time to time of different manufacturers that 656 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: aren't following the guidelines. But this article went on to 657 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: point out, let's see the report summarize the problems that 658 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 1: consumers are facing from a variety of monopolizing manufacturers that 659 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,719 Speaker 1: restrict independent repair and repair by consumers through product designs 660 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:41,720 Speaker 1: that complicator prevent repair, unavailability of parts and repair information, 661 00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: designs that make independent repairs less safe, policies or statements 662 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,000 Speaker 1: that steer consumers to manufacture repair networks and application of 663 00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,840 Speaker 1: patent rights, and enforcement of trademarks, software locks, firmware updates. 664 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,280 Speaker 1: In other words, they're starting to list, they're starting to 665 00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,840 Speaker 1: see the issues that are being created. You know, the 666 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: sad part is if the independent automotive repair shop, and 667 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,480 Speaker 1: I admit it, I'm one of those guys, and I'm 668 00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,960 Speaker 1: coming to the end of the game. No, no time soon, 669 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:12,799 Speaker 1: I hope, because I enjoyed too much of having too 670 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:14,960 Speaker 1: much fun fixing cars, and I'm gonna keep going as 671 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 1: long as the big guy lets me. And the point becomes, 672 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 1: if independent repair shops like myself and like so many 673 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,879 Speaker 1: of those out there, we're gone. You wouldn't be able 674 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:28,560 Speaker 1: to get your car fixed because there's just no way 675 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:31,840 Speaker 1: the dealer network could support the volume of vehicles that 676 00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: will need repair. I've had cases where family vehicles are 677 00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:40,439 Speaker 1: going into dealerships under warranty and it's a three week 678 00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:44,640 Speaker 1: wait to get an appointment because they're backlogged. And you 679 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: sit there and I say to myself and sometimes, you 680 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 1: know what, it's auto repair is like dating. Sometimes dating 681 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 1: that next girl teaches you that you're better off where 682 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: you are. Um Becres says, no always greener as I 683 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: like to say, But auto repair is just a very complicated, 684 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,839 Speaker 1: involved process. I would think the manufacturers would get more 685 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: provided they share the information at a at a level 686 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 1: that everybody can relate to and make work and improve 687 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,440 Speaker 1: their product image in the aftermarket, and not so much 688 00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: that they're the bad guys where to come from the FTC. 689 00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 1: Good job, guys, I'm glad you're on top of the 690 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: right to repair. That wraps it up for this week, 691 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: until the next time I'm running eating the car doctor 692 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,600 Speaker 1: reminding you this time, like every time, good mechanics aren't expensive, 693 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,279 Speaker 1: they're priceless.
