I got an email from 22 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 2: this individual talking about dealership mechanics and some of the 23 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 2: ins and the outs and the ups and the downs, 24 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 2: and I thought this guy sounds like he'd be interesting 25 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: to talk to, so I reached out to him. I'm 26 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 2: just going to use his first name, Jared. Jared's with us. 27 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: He's out from Vegas way out in Nevada. I think 28 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 2: it is right, Jared, Yes it is. And you know, 29 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 2: tell us about yourself. You were, you were a dealership 30 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 2: mechanic for the better part of twenty years. What was 31 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 2: Jared's story, what was the traveling like? 32 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 3: Well, you know, you you start out with really I 33 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 3: got out of school and started working in dealerships, and 34 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 3: they send you to factory training and you get a 35 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 3: base knowledge and then you you know, you're you're on 36 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,679 Speaker 3: your own with getting a ticket with a complaint. Sometimes 37 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 3: new cars, you can have two three four pages of 38 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 3: complaints and you're not getting paid until you actually fix something, 39 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 3: which was very frustrating as a flight ray mechanic, so 40 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 3: you can spend an hour going through two three four 41 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 3: pages of complaints to determine if they're valid, if the 42 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 3: customer just didn't know how to operate something, you know, 43 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: and then sometimes you find something that only pays a 44 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 3: few tenths to replace, and you spent two hours looking 45 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: at a car, and that's that was kind of dealership 46 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 3: like so until you get familiar with the product and on, 47 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: which is what I did like about a dealership instead 48 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 3: of an independent is you did learn the product, but 49 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: then they change it on you. 50 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: And this was this was twenty years ago, right, I 51 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 2: mean even you've been doing this for a while. So 52 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: explain flat rate real quick for the audience. Flat rate 53 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 2: means that you're paid on what you produced, not necessarily 54 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: a salary. 55 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 3: Correct. So when I got a job, I did not 56 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 3: get paid. I got paid a certain amount of diagnostic time, 57 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 3: which I had to document. So I had to punch 58 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 3: a card for when I started my diagnostic, punch a 59 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 3: card for when I finished my diagnostic, and then punch 60 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 3: a card for what the actual time of the park 61 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: replacement was. And so they paid a specific time for 62 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 3: diagnostic and a specific time for the parts replacement. What 63 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 3: if I. 64 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: What brand car, what brand car line did you start 65 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 2: out on or what brand car line did you have 66 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: the most experienced with? 67 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 3: Jared Volkswagen and AUTI. 68 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 2: Okay, and when you say they paid you diagnostic time, 69 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: what was your you know, what did they allow? Did 70 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: you know, if you took three hours to diagnose something, 71 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 2: were they upset? Did they say we're not paying that? 72 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: Or you know, is it? 73 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 3: They would at times say they're not paying they They 74 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 3: would say, well, you know, on average that gets diagnosed 75 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 3: in a half an hour, so that's all they're going 76 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 3: to pay is a half an hour. 77 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 2: But what if you have that one up too obscure? 78 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 2: You know, the screw went through the wiring harness at 79 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: the factory problem that nobody can find, and it legitimately 80 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 2: takes you three, four or five hours. You've got to 81 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 2: take half the car apart. 82 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 3: Right, and so you would document all that and then 83 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 3: you would try to get paid for it, but you 84 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 3: would have to get authorization from your service manager, who 85 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:32,599 Speaker 3: sometimes would have to get authorization from the district rep 86 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,599 Speaker 3: to cover that diagnostic time, which was often after the 87 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 3: job was completed and maybe two, three, even two weeks 88 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: later before you would find out if you were actually 89 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 3: going to get paid for that time, and if it 90 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 3: was denied by warranty, then you're asking your service manager 91 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 3: to pay for that time, and that often it would 92 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 3: get denied by them as well. 93 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,160 Speaker 2: Our dealerships today, do you think there's still flat rate, right, 94 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: so this system still exists today, Yes it does, and 95 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: you know, we both know, you and I know, and 96 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 2: the audience may not. But this is why mechanics are 97 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: leaving the field or part of the reason flat rate 98 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 2: doesn't work. 99 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 3: Because so towards towards the end of my career, without 100 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 3: a lot of repairs, you were required to call the 101 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 3: technical hotline. So you call a phone number to speak 102 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 3: to a specialist, and a specialist would give you parameters 103 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 3: to work in on how to diagnose something, for verify 104 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 3: a part, and sometimes they would say try an own part, 105 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,839 Speaker 3: but you don't have it known part because it's a 106 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 3: brand new car. So then you have to remove on 107 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 3: from another car to try it to see if it works. 108 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 3: But meanwhile, you're not getting paid for that, because the 109 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 3: warranty department would come up and say, well, the technical 110 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 3: department doesn't authorize time. So yes, they asked you to 111 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 3: do that, but we're not paying you for it. 112 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 2: Wait wait a minute, you're telling me outy the manufacturer 113 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 2: and their tech line is telling you Auty the dealership 114 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,679 Speaker 2: mechanic to swamp parts. That's their diagnosis in some cases. 115 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: In some cases, yes, they would tell you to try 116 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 3: a good part, and you would go to the parks 117 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 3: department and they don't have it. And you know, when 118 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 3: you special order apart, it came plastic wraft inside the box. 119 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 3: It opened the plastic. The parks department didn't want to 120 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 3: take it back, so it was it was. It was 121 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 3: really difficult situation as a mechanic because then you have 122 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 3: to find a car. And that was actually that was 123 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 3: before they became coded, you know. So now a lot 124 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: of the modules are coded with the VIN number and 125 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 3: it so you can't try a part on another car 126 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 3: because you can't burn in the VIN number of the 127 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 3: car you're working on. 128 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: So you left Audi Volkswagen and you went elsewhere. What 129 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 2: other dealerships have you worked for. 130 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 3: I've worked at a Ford dealership. I've worked at a 131 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 3: Chrysler dealership for a short time. That was a mas BMW. 132 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 3: Did they all a little little senate Mercedes? 133 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? Do they all sort of follow the same routine. 134 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: Everything's flat rate. Everything is you got to diagnose it 135 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: in forty five minutes or less or whatever the number is. 136 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 3: And yes, and actually Chrysler was was the worst at 137 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: pay They were they were horrible and this was This 138 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 3: was quite a while ago. This was in the nineties 139 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: where their wiring diagram didn't even match the car, so 140 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 3: you would have to you know, the pin numbers. It 141 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 3: tells you a pin number to check the specific wire, 142 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 3: but that wasn't in that kin box that it said 143 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: it was. It was different, so you would have to 144 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: chase colors instead to see and then go to the 145 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 3: other side to be sure and check continuity to be 146 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 3: sure that was the wire you were looking for. 147 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 2: What did what did it take you to get into 148 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 2: the business? Jared? You know what did it cost? I mean, 149 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 2: you know back in the day you went you went 150 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: to trade school. You came out of high school or 151 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: technical college and went into Yeah. 152 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 3: I was actually one of the first graduating classes of 153 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 3: the Ford Asset Program back in nineteen eighty nine. Was 154 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 3: the student's Automotive Student Service Education training program where you 155 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 3: went to a community college for eight weeks and worked 156 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 3: at a dealer for eight weeks for two years and 157 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 3: got your AA degree and a job. 158 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 2: Do you still have friends in the business. 159 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 3: I do, but since I moved from the East Coast 160 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 3: to Nevada, I don't really keep up. I did work 161 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 3: at a key dealer here in Nevada for a short time. 162 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 2: Is it the same? I mean it just and is 163 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 2: this do you think? You know? Is this why people 164 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 2: can't get their car fix sometimes just because of the 165 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: structure and the way they're set up. 166 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 3: Well, the issue is is that you I believe that 167 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 3: I saw it led to a lot of guys guessing 168 00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 3: you would get the symptom and you would potentially check 169 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 3: the code and then they would just order a part 170 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 3: and wait for the parts to come in so without 171 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 3: verifying it, because it was the quickest way. Because you 172 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 3: don't want to spend much time without getting paid diagnosing 173 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: a car, so you want to move on to get paid. 174 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 2: Right, because the goal is to just bring home a paycheck. Right, 175 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 2: You got to feed the wife and kids at the 176 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: end of the week. So you know, do you think 177 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 2: you would have been trying to think I had to 178 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 2: phrase this, but you know, would a salary position have 179 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 2: been a better offer for you and for the other 180 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 2: text out there that they know they're not under the 181 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: gun so much, but they've got to fix the car, 182 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 2: but at least they can stop and think. 183 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 3: Right. But a lot of dealers were against paying salary 184 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,199 Speaker 3: because they felt that they would lose productivity. So then 185 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 3: you end up milking a car for whatever reason. And 186 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 3: unless somebody's watching you that knows what they're doing, how 187 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 3: do you know how would the service manager know whether 188 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 3: it was legitimate time spent diagnosing a car, replacing a part, 189 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 3: if they were paying a salary, or whether you were 190 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 3: just you know, miaking the job for whatever you you. 191 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 2: Know, full disclosure. When I was talking to Jared in 192 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 2: the beginning of this conversation, this interview all fair, I 193 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 2: asked him, I said, you know, why what made you 194 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 2: write the email and tell everybody what you had said? What? 195 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,719 Speaker 2: What what prompted this conversation? 196 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: Well, you were you were talking about mechan of convening 197 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 3: time to absorb the problem and the sympiment. Think about 198 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 3: it for a minute, and it was true. And so 199 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,200 Speaker 3: that's and that's what I always said, that a good 200 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,679 Speaker 3: mechanic is smarter than a doctor. Because cars, if you 201 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 3: work in a dealership, they're changing even independence you know, 202 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 3: you're working on so many different cars. Things changed so much, 203 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 3: and doctors have been studying the human body for thousands 204 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 3: of years and they still don't know what's going on. 205 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: Jared, I got to run. The clock's gonna grab me. 206 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: It's a pleasure, brother. Anytime you need, anytime you need 207 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 2: to chat, you give us a call back, all right 208 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: and we'll leave it there. Yes, sir, thank you very much. 209 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 2: I'm running ending in the car doctor. We are back 210 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:56,599 Speaker 2: right after this. 211 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,080 Speaker 4: Lets one new you. 212 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: When you get keep Ron's number handy eight five five 213 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 2: five six zero nine nine zero zero for when you 214 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 2: really need advice on your car. Here's Rob and let's 215 00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 2: get right to it. Let's get right to the phones. 216 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 2: Let's let's go to Let's go to Tony in New Hampshire. Tony, 217 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: welcome to the car doctor, sir. How can I help? 218 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 5: Thank you Ron. I've got a twenty twelve Fiat five 219 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 5: hundred C Sport that's now ninety five hundred and some 220 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 5: odd miles and I'm looking to keep it for another 221 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 5: five or ten years. It's going well, but I need 222 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 5: to know what first from certain parts in the car 223 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 5: that I need to do, like let's say the engine, 224 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 5: do you recommend a tune up? Do you recommend an 225 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 5: engine cleaner for the valves? And then the other question 226 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 5: that I've got mixed responses on, is it a timing 227 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 5: chain or a timing belt. 228 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 2: That should be a belt motor. That should be a 229 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: one point four leader. They call that a one point 230 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 2: four leader, and that is a multi air engine. That 231 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 2: was Chrysler or Fiatz, whoever you want to believe made 232 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: the car or original you know, original intention. Now, having 233 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: said that, yes, it is a timing belt, it should 234 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 2: be replaced at this point. It's ten years it's twelve 235 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 2: years old, and you know it's got the mileage on it. 236 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 2: Here here's the commentary. Though. There are special tools involved 237 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 2: in doing that timing belt. There's some sprocket holders, and 238 00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 2: there's some very specific things. So you want to make 239 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 2: sure that the mechanic that doesn't realizes that and either 240 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 2: has the tools or can find them. And you can 241 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: actually find there are cheap versions or less expensive I 242 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,200 Speaker 2: should say it that way, versions of the factory tools available. 243 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 2: I've seen them on Amazon. I've seen them in a 244 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 2: couple of places. I don't know. I've got a Chrysler 245 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: set myself, and I know how accurate they are. I 246 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: don't know the accuracy of them, but it's it's one alternative. 247 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 2: Whereas the Chrysler set. If I remember right when I 248 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 2: purchased it was about four hundred bucks. So you've got 249 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:33,760 Speaker 2: to do a few. You've got to do a few 250 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 2: multi years in order to make it pay for itself. 251 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 5: Okay, no, you know. 252 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 2: Or if the dealer is doing it, if you're just 253 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 2: going to take it to the Fiat dealer, then they'll 254 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 2: have what they'll have what you need. But I like 255 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,160 Speaker 2: the idea of doing a timing belt. I like the idea. 256 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 2: You know, it's twelve years old. We're going to do coolant. 257 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 2: We're going to do whatever's wet. If it's wet, we're 258 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 2: going to change it, right, coolant, transfluid, obviously engineoy, they've 259 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: been doing break fluid all right, drive line fluids, you know, 260 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 2: just go through it. You know, I would like to 261 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 2: see plus a timing belt, plus a regular belt, you know, 262 00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 2: the serpentine belt. I would I would put a thermostat 263 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: in it because the cooling system is going to be open. 264 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 2: You're you're up in New Hampshire. It's I you know, 265 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 2: I don't know what conditions you drive it under. Is 266 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 2: it is it always cold? 267 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:18,319 Speaker 6: Is it? 268 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 5: Well? What I usually do is I stop driving it 269 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 5: once the first snow fall. It is because when we 270 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 5: get snow, it doesn't clear the mountains. 271 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: Okay, So you know, I want to take a look 272 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 2: at the bottom of the radiator, in the front of 273 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 2: the condenser. You know, this is the you want to 274 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 2: keep it another five or ten years. Will you be 275 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 2: able to get some of these parts in five or 276 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 2: ten years or in two years, or can you even 277 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: get them now? Because I've found with the fiats a 278 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 2: lot of things are already disappearing. And you know, it's 279 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 2: you want to make sure you can get what you 280 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 2: need if you want to really enjoy the car. So 281 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 2: you know, we see thermostat issues, we see the cooling 282 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: system seem to be the weaker link. And I think 283 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: in and I won't say New Hampshire is a caustic environment, 284 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 2: but it's a cold environment for sure, you know, more 285 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: so than New Jersey. I think in New Jersey I'd 286 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 2: be more worried about chemicals from the snow getting up 287 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 2: on the radiator and the condenser and causing rod issues 288 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 2: and so forth. But you know, I would want to 289 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 2: go over the car structurally, but I'd want to look 290 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 2: at the radiator. I'd want to know what kind of 291 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 2: shape that's in. You know, definitely spark plugs, definitely, fuel 292 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 2: system cleaning, throttle body to do a you know, throttle 293 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 2: body cleaning and so forth. And you know, just take 294 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: a look at well, let's call them the maintenance, the 295 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: rubber parts, the things that deteriorate, belts, hoses, cabin filter, 296 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 2: air filter. You know, this is the one hundred thousand mile overhaul, 297 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: so to speak. You know, and then while you're at it, 298 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 2: take a look. You know, how old are the tires. 299 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 2: Although I suspect you've probably been doing those all along, 300 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 2: it sounds like you're a maintenance guy, and you know 301 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 2: you've been doing your share of it. So it's it's 302 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 2: there's nothing here that you could tell me about changing that. 303 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 2: You know, I would tell you no, not to It's 304 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 2: it's just good solid maintenance. It's it's time, you know. 305 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: I tell the story all the time about my old 306 00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: four suburban when the trans when it puked, the trans 307 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 2: for lack of a better way to say it, when 308 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 2: the vehicle had fifty five thousand miles on it, that 309 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 2: trends just said goodbye. And I took that as an 310 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: opportunity and I went through the car. I looked it over, everything, 311 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: if it was rusty, if it was corroded, if it 312 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 2: was you know, because it was older, it was I 313 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: think about fifteen yeahs about eighteen. Yeah, it's about seventeen 314 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 2: years old at that time when I did it. You know, 315 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: I took that at the moment like hey can I 316 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 2: still get these parts? And then that's the other thing 317 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 2: to think about, right, you know who services the car? 318 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 2: Is it the dealer or do you have a regular 319 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 2: guy that you go to. Do you have a guy? 320 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 5: I have a FIA dealer that I go to. 321 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 2: Okay, you know, talk to them, what do they see 322 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 2: failing in your environment at this mileage? And then is 323 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: there anything that they'd recommend you put on the shelf, Like, 324 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 2: for example, I put power window regulators from my suburban 325 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 2: on the shelf. They've got a high failure rate. I 326 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 2: hope I never have to use them. But while GM 327 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 2: was still making them, I put a set away. You know, 328 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 2: I've got rotating electrical starter alternator, you know GM stuff 329 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 2: real stuff away. You know, I've got a GM fuel pump. 330 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: I've got you know, a GMAC compressor. Because to me, 331 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 2: if I want to keep something the duration and that's 332 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 2: what you sort of want to do Tony. Yeah, you know, 333 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:35,479 Speaker 2: I want to know that I can get parts for it. 334 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 2: I want to know that I can get quality parts 335 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,679 Speaker 2: for it. And you know, I don't want to be 336 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 2: subjected to the OG. We can't get that anymore. So 337 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 2: I'm not saying buy the whole car twice, but just 338 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 2: think about the things that normal wear and tear. You've 339 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 2: been driving long enough, you know what goes bad on 340 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 2: cars as they age, and to have one on the shelf. 341 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 2: You know what if you don't have a car payment 342 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 2: and you want to keep it going, I think that's 343 00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 2: how you have to approach it. 344 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 5: Understand that. 345 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 2: I think I will do that, you know, I think 346 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 2: that's what I would do. Goofy things, wiper blades. You know, 347 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 2: you don't think like some cars I see, you know, 348 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 2: the silliest things disappear. Wiper blades disappear, and you're you're 349 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 2: you're stuck using something that you don't like in a 350 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 2: particular brand. So look, you got you got the right attitude. 351 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,959 Speaker 2: I think you've got the right approach. But by all means, 352 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 2: you know, and when they go in there to do 353 00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 2: that timing belt, it's going to be timing belt water 354 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 2: pumped detentioners, look it over for you know, any sort 355 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,800 Speaker 2: of leaks and drive it, enjoy it. You know, it's 356 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 2: that for many more years ago. They're fun little cars, Tony, 357 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 2: They're fun little cars. 358 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,120 Speaker 3: All right, kidd, thank you very much. 359 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,000 Speaker 2: You're very welcome. I'm running Eddy in the Car Doctor. 360 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 2: We are back right after this. Don't go. 361 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 3: Well. 362 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,720 Speaker 2: Welcome to another edition of Gasolene Ali. We're down here today. 363 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 2: We're talking to Bill Standy. Bill is the motorsports manager 364 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 2: for Wicks Filters. He is a former engineer for Wicks. 365 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 2: He's got a lifelong love of automobiles and designing and 366 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 2: creating parts. I'm sure it's going to come out in 367 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:43,040 Speaker 2: the interview and we're excited to talk to him. Bill. 368 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir. Happy to have you. 369 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 6: Good Hello sir, how are you doing today? 370 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 2: All right? You know, let's start at the beginning because 371 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 2: I know we're going to talk about NASCAR a little 372 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 2: bit in this conversation and probably a lot of other things. 373 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 2: But you know, you look at as a consumer. For 374 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 2: a consumer to walk into a box store and buy 375 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 2: an air, a fuel or a cabin filter, you know, 376 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 2: to them, it's just something in a box. But there's 377 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,639 Speaker 2: a lot more to it, right, What sort of effort 378 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 2: goes into designing proper filters today for our vehicles. 379 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,640 Speaker 6: You know, one of the things that I've seen over 380 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 6: the years is the concern I have is people may 381 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,680 Speaker 6: go in and buy an expense of synthetic or part 382 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:25,560 Speaker 6: synthetic oil and then buy a low cost oil filter 383 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 6: to go along with that. Now, one of the problems 384 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,120 Speaker 6: with that is, if you're going to spend the money 385 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 6: to buy an expensive oil, you should buy quality filter. 386 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 6: In a lot of cases, we see our competitors advertise 387 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 6: a high efficiency filter. However, particularly efficiency alone is not 388 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 6: a true measure of long term filter performance. There's a 389 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 6: lot of other things that go into design and filter. 390 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 6: At Wick filters, we take a look at the filter 391 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 6: design in multiple categories of performance. We look at capacity, efficiency, 392 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 6: the low restriction, We look at the first strength element colap, 393 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 6: strength bypass, vowel performance and a grain back vowel performance, 394 00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 6: an impulse to the team are all critical filter design 395 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 6: parameters for a street car engine. 396 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: So it's not just it's not just hey, I've got 397 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,640 Speaker 2: to filter that filters out all the dirt, that's all 398 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 2: you need. There's much more to it than that. 399 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 6: Yes, sir, most certainly. 400 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 2: And you know, when you create an oil filter for 401 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,159 Speaker 2: that street car, for that person that wants to go 402 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 2: maybe a higher mileage oil drain interval. You know, maybe 403 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 2: their manufacturers calling for a five or six and they 404 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 2: want to go to ten, or maybe their manufacturers going 405 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 2: for ten and they're using the standard filter. And correct 406 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong, But my understanding is a lot 407 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:40,360 Speaker 2: of the standard filters that manufacturers have may may not 408 00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 2: necessarily meet that higher mileage requirement as well as it could, 409 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,000 Speaker 2: and there's the need for a higher mileage oil filter, right, That. 410 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 6: Is exactly right. The filterraation media has to survive the 411 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 6: life of the oil change, whether it's six thousand miles 412 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,479 Speaker 6: or ten thousand miles, because what happened when that filter 413 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 6: meets its maximum capacity the filter plugs and the filter 414 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 6: may go into bypass and then you're just circulating unfiltered, 415 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 6: contaminated oil through the enginet. 416 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 2: Explain that to the listeners, build because I understand what 417 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 2: you're saying. But when you say the filter goes into bypass, 418 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:16,440 Speaker 2: what happens? 419 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:18,880 Speaker 6: So what happens with the filter is and we see 420 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 6: this many of our competitors advertising just the high efficiency filter, 421 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,719 Speaker 6: we can take out contaminate down in the five to 422 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 6: ten micron range, which is pointing zero zero zero three 423 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 6: inches in diameter. However, if that media is there's not 424 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 6: enough media to capture all the contaminant in the oil, 425 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,119 Speaker 6: the filter plugs, the differential pressure builds up across the 426 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 6: filter and the bypass in the filter or in the 427 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 6: engine block will open, and then you're circulating unfiltered oil 428 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 6: through the engine. So it's like you have no filter 429 00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 6: at all, and. 430 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 2: Then that the problems. Obviously, you're just running dirty oil 431 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 2: through all the engine components and we create engine damage. Wow, 432 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 2: engine wearing. So does this also apply to fuel and 433 00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,240 Speaker 2: air and cabin filters. This whole concept of you know, 434 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: good filtration. Obviously, now we're learning that you know filtration 435 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 2: is not all the same. Maybe is a fair way 436 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:21,719 Speaker 2: to say it. 437 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 6: Now, In the fuel in most cases you would not 438 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 6: have a bypassed valve, but what you may end up 439 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 6: with is a decrease in engine performance, either in fuel 440 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 6: mile engine performance itself. On the cabin air filter side, 441 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 6: in many cases you have cabin air filters. The most 442 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 6: cars that are built today that cabin air filter filters 443 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 6: the air that comes in from the outside, that comes 444 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 6: into the cabin of the vehicle, and that's the air 445 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 6: that you breathe. And if you have a filter that 446 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 6: fells in that situation, you may smell that inside the car. 447 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 6: You may have contaminity being discriviaged inside the vehicle with you. 448 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's an issue, right, if you've got allergies, 449 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 2: if you're if you're prone to reacting to dust and 450 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 2: other contaminants in the air, you want a good clean 451 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 2: cabin filter. And the cabin filter needs to be installed correctly. 452 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 2: I have to point out I take a lot of 453 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 2: filters out at the shop where they're crushed or they're 454 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 2: not installed right because it's a poor quality filter. It 455 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,959 Speaker 2: doesn't fit in the case well, and and that creates 456 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 2: a problem. So filter's got to be installed correctly too. 457 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 2: You know, that's a that's a big deal. 458 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 6: Exactly right. It's got to be a hot quality filter 459 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 6: that's not properly to fit within the parameters of the 460 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:34,439 Speaker 6: air filter box. 461 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 2: Give me thirty seconds on air filters build because my 462 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,199 Speaker 2: question becomes, you know, I actually see and I know 463 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 2: this from hot rotting, that we worry about how air 464 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,040 Speaker 2: used to enter a carburetor. And obviously now with fuel 465 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 2: injection and mass airflow sensors, not all air filters are 466 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 2: the same because the way the pleats are made or 467 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 2: the way the filter is wove together. If I'm using 468 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 2: the right terminology, that affects airflow across the sensor, and 469 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 2: that can lea the engine performance problems. 470 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 6: Right, that's exactly right. When you look at the airflow 471 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 6: across the across the sensor, that affects your fuel knowledge 472 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:14,680 Speaker 6: also the engine performance. You can also contaminate the sensors 473 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,879 Speaker 6: inside the air filter or inside the air box, and 474 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 6: that can create issues for the customers going forward. 475 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 2: So you may think you're getting filtration and protecting the engine, 476 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: but in reality you're not. Or you may be getting filtration, 477 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 2: but you're not getting performance because there's too much turbulence 478 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 2: in the air because of the way the air filter 479 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 2: is designed. 480 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 6: That's exactly right. And then you end up with your 481 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 6: you I got a light on on the dash and 482 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 6: you're headed in to check the light. 483 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 4: Right. 484 00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 2: WITS has been involved with NASCAR for many years. You know, 485 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 2: how did that get started? Because that's not a common 486 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 2: everyday experience. Right, all of a sudden, you're dealing with 487 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 2: NASCAR and all that that's about. 488 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 6: In the nineteen sixties, Petty Enterprises approached the Wicks Filters 489 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,200 Speaker 6: about helping them. These races were going out up to 490 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 6: five hundred miles and they were suffering multiple engine fell 491 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 6: years due to oil contamination. So Petty Enterprise was approached 492 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 6: Wicks Filters and our vice president engineering of that time, 493 00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 6: the gentleman's name is Kingsley Humber. Kingsley worked with Petty 494 00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 6: Enterprise to help solve that problem. And we've been involved 495 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 6: in NASCAR every since. 496 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 2: And you guys are doing quite well at it, right. 497 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 2: You just had a recent team win, a big team 498 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: win down in NASCAR, didn't you. My spies tell me 499 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 2: you had a big time in NASCAR racing, right, Yes, start. 500 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 6: Had a really good time down at Homestead, got an 501 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 6: opportunity to go to Victory Lane. We won the races 502 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 6: down there. It was a lot of fun. 503 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 2: And then in the races that followed in the upcoming weeks, 504 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 2: Wicks was involved in those as well. As always. 505 00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 6: Wicks had ten of the twelve cars and trucks racing 506 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,959 Speaker 6: for the championship down in Phoenix cool beans. Yes, sir, 507 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:55,880 Speaker 6: we win the. 508 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 2: Races all running Wicks filters, so filters. I'm a di wire, 509 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,480 Speaker 2: I'm an automotive di wire. I'm doing a DIY project. 510 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 2: Talk to me about you know why I want to 511 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 2: use a better quality filter in my project? Is there 512 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 2: an advantage to that other than the things we're talking about. 513 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 6: When you use a high quality filter, you can count 514 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,159 Speaker 6: on the filter's going to perform like it's supposed to. 515 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 6: It's going to protect the engine. You're not going to 516 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 6: have the leaks, you're not going to have a ruptured filter. 517 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 6: The vehicle's going to perform to specification, and you're going 518 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 6: to improve your engine life by doing so. 519 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 2: You know, the couple of extra bucks I always explain 520 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 2: to people too, is the money you pay for a 521 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 2: better filter comes back to reward you with longer life 522 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 2: out of the vehicle itself. And look at the price 523 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 2: of vehicles today, Right, We're not protecting three thousand dollar 524 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 2: cars anymore. 525 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 6: That's exactly right. You don't want to put a five 526 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,240 Speaker 6: dollars filter on a ten thousand dollars right. 527 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that doesn't that doesn't work out. You know, Hey, Bill, 528 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 2: we're going to pull over and take a pause. When 529 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 2: we come back, I want to talk a little bit 530 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,359 Speaker 2: about can you, you know, put your thinking cap on. 531 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 2: How are Wis filters engineered? You know it's we've you've 532 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 2: talked about them. I know our listeners have heard me 533 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 2: talk about them over the years. And you know, both 534 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 2: from a performance and an every day automobile. You know 535 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,439 Speaker 2: that Toyota camera that's taken mom to the corner store 536 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,719 Speaker 2: for shopping or taking the kids to school. You know, 537 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 2: why why do I want to you know, why do 538 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 2: I want a Wix filter? How's it engineered? You know? 539 00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 2: To make my car last longer? Maybe you can touch 540 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: on that a little bit and talk a little bit 541 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,480 Speaker 2: about prototyping and things like that. Can you do that 542 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 2: for us? All right? You stay you stay put. I'm 543 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 2: Ronning Any and the Car Doctor here with Bill Stamy. 544 00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 2: He's the motorsports manager for Wix Filters, and as it 545 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 2: turns out, a fountain of information. And we'll both be 546 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 2: back right after this. 547 00:28:44,200 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 4: Don't go away, who's gone? And got hey? 548 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 5: There? 549 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 2: Ronanini and the card Doctor. We're here with Bill Stamy 550 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 2: once again, more sports manager for Wicks Filters. So when 551 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 2: we pulled away and took the pods. It occurred to me, 552 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 2: and this may sound silly, but are there cabin filters 553 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 2: in NASCAR race cars? 554 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,400 Speaker 6: There certainly is. Back in two thousand and we were 555 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,440 Speaker 6: approached by Joe Gibbs Racing to help them with the 556 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 6: problem they're having with their drivers. We have cool suits 557 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 6: and cool helmets. Back in about two thousand, we were 558 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,400 Speaker 6: pressed by Joe Gibbs and one of the things we 559 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 6: wanted to do was improve the air the drivers were breathing. 560 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 6: So we developed a new system with Joe Gibbs raising 561 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 6: that filters out both the particular matter the odors from 562 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 6: the air with the carbon impregnanty media. And we also 563 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 6: took the carbon LOCKDOUD level from two hundred parts down 564 00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 6: to five parts per million. That's what ninety seven percent 565 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,320 Speaker 6: efficiency at removing the carbon oxide. And in fact, we 566 00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 6: receive the US patent for this design and it's currently used. 567 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 6: The grandfather for this design is used on every Cup car, 568 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 6: every Spinity car, and every truck and NASCAR that races 569 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 6: every weekend. 570 00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 2: Well, I guess NASCAR cars do have cabin filters, and 571 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 2: I can understand the need. So you know, Joe Gibbs 572 00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,520 Speaker 2: came to you. Petry came back to you, guys. It 573 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 2: came to you guys in the sixties. You've done a 574 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 2: lot of engineering, whether it's a conventional everyday automobile or 575 00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 2: a race car it's NASCAR something like that. What sort 576 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 2: of engineering goes into that, How do you make the 577 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 2: prototypes and how long does it take to bring something 578 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 2: like it to market or to the racetrack. 579 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 6: One of the advantage you have for being in the 580 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 6: in the filtration industry where you have a good reputation 581 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 6: with the Ford motor companies, the general motors, you have 582 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 6: the opportunity to quote on oe business and build oe filters. 583 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:02,360 Speaker 6: But we also have at WIGS Filters, we benchmark all 584 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 6: of our competitors. We look at all of our competitors air, oil, fuel, 585 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 6: cabin air filters, hydraulic. We take our competitors product and 586 00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 6: we do analysis and we find the best component for 587 00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 6: each of those filters. We take what we learn and 588 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 6: we build that into a WIGS filter. It's not just 589 00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 6: our internal designs. We also look at all of our 590 00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 6: competitors and the oe filters when we're doing a design. 591 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 2: So you're basically taking the best of everybody and making. 592 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,480 Speaker 6: It into one that's exactly right. We benchmark. We benchmark 593 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 6: every single year. 594 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:38,480 Speaker 2: You know, I've always said that that engineer, he designed something, 595 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 2: they put it together to look like it. They do. 596 00:31:41,160 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 2: There's a reason. I recently did an air cabin filter 597 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 2: on a Chrysler minivan and used a WIGS filter of course, 598 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 2: and the outside edge of the filter had pleats in 599 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 2: it where the and the OE did. But a lot 600 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,480 Speaker 2: of the aftermarket replacements never do. And I've often said 601 00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 2: there's a reason those pleats are there, and that's you know, 602 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 2: Wix is doing that. They've got a very good They're 603 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 2: not doing it just because they want to. That's another 604 00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,760 Speaker 2: step in the manufacturing process, and everybody has to realize 605 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 2: they make it a certain way because and they've learned 606 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 2: something somewhere to do just that. So neat stuff before 607 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,480 Speaker 2: we go, Bill, what's the most unusual thing, you know, 608 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 2: the most unusual event Wix has had in racing filter development. 609 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 2: I'm sure there's a couple of stories you could lay 610 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:24,680 Speaker 2: on us. 611 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 6: Yeah, there's some pretty good stories we have. But we're 612 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 6: fortunate enough to work with all the engine builders we 613 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 6: work with, Hendrick Motorsports, earn Our Childre's Engines. At Richard 614 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:37,520 Speaker 6: Childern's Racing we do the raush Yates engines toy it 615 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 6: erasing development and on the on the rash eph engine side, 616 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 6: the really cool engine there is in the one point 617 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,000 Speaker 6: seven million dollars four GD Mark four. That thing has 618 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 6: a twin turbo eight hundred worse power of V six 619 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 6: And then every one of those has a WIGS filter 620 00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 6: on it. So when into given Sunday, every single vehicle 621 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 6: that starts in NASCAR race has a WIGS filter on it. 622 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 6: And then part of that development with all those teams, 623 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 6: obviously you know where the rules books are, you know 624 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:04,480 Speaker 6: where the gray areas are, and you know what you're 625 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 6: not allowed to do. So over the years we have 626 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 6: a few filters done in the NASCAR Museum done in Daytona. Uh, 627 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,280 Speaker 6: in the not so legal section. It's always a lot 628 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 6: of fun to walk through there no longer legal. 629 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 2: Right, I guess maybe something Smoky Eunick wanted, right he 630 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 2: was He was always good for for doing things like 631 00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 2: that as well. You know what's the future of racing 632 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,959 Speaker 2: with with wicks? You know, is it? Is it going 633 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 2: to be? It's an ongoing thing. It's I mean you 634 00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 2: guys are out there protecting million dollar engines. I guess 635 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 2: that gives consumers confidence for their automobiles too. 636 00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,640 Speaker 6: Right, Yes, sir. When you look at a team that 637 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 6: races on a Sunday for a championship, one position can 638 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 6: cost them the entire season, the responsibility for that weighs 639 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:56,400 Speaker 6: heavily on us. We've built that trust in the NASCAR teams, 640 00:33:56,400 --> 00:33:59,360 Speaker 6: in the engine builders, and we're proud of what we've 641 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 6: done there and that they can depend on us. If 642 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 6: it's good enough for NASCAR, it's good enough for your car, right. 643 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 2: And I like that. You know, years ago, it used 644 00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:09,080 Speaker 2: to be what we learned in NASCAR worked its way 645 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:12,480 Speaker 2: down to the everyday streetcar, and it still applies today. 646 00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:18,040 Speaker 2: And it's always been that way, you know. Yeah, you know, 647 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 2: I remember years ago, sort of off topic, but you 648 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 2: know the same thing that the crush zones or the 649 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,720 Speaker 2: crash zones that NASCAR cars developed made their way to original, 650 00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 2: you know, the everyday street cars. The manufacturers took that 651 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,400 Speaker 2: technology and learned from it, and that's why you see, 652 00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 2: you know, cars they get totaled more, but the occupant 653 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,640 Speaker 2: is safer. They survived the crash and that's as a 654 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,120 Speaker 2: result of NASCAR and the research being done there, so 655 00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:45,120 Speaker 2: you know very much everything what you guys are learning 656 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,919 Speaker 2: applies to the Everyday Cars Bill. It's been a pleasure, sir. 657 00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 2: If the listeners are looking for more information, what's the website. 658 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 6: Ww dot whatsfilters dot com. 659 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 2: Cool beans, And I'm sure I always extend this into you. 660 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,680 Speaker 2: It'd be a pleasure strike and twist your arm and 661 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 2: get you to come back at some point in the 662 00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,799 Speaker 2: future and talk some more. I'd be happy to do that, 663 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 2: all right, Bill, thank you very much. I'm Ronning Inning 664 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,360 Speaker 2: and the Car Doctor. We are back right after this. 665 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 2: Don't go away. I ain't every being with them. Another 666 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 2: fast hour of radio just kind of flies by running 667 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,920 Speaker 2: in the Car Doctor here a five five five six 668 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,279 Speaker 2: zero mentioned that real quick eight five five five six 669 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:50,480 Speaker 2: zero nine nine zero zero. The Car Doctor's twenty four 670 00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:52,799 Speaker 2: to seven phone number.
