He's he's 169 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,839 Speaker 1: got more people believing in them, and therefore he's got 170 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: more stops to make. And you know the rule, if 171 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: you don't believe in Santy, you get calling your stocking. 172 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 1: Now we want to know, do you get a chance 173 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,600 Speaker 1: to look in the toy bag.

Tom. 176 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: All right, if you believe that it's gonna be there, 177 00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 1: it'll be there. Giants win. Um well, I don't want 178 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: to say this, Tony, but while I was looking at 179 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: the bottom of the bag, I started thinking of you 180 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: and Tom because I missed you, and I started thinking, 181 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: you know, what could I bring them for next year? 182 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: So I started thinking about the Giants because I know 183 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: how much you guys love them, And I started thinking 184 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: about the Giants win next year, and I started to 185 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,679 Speaker 1: see the image of Super Bowl. And then then Santa 186 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: came back into the rooms, had a close the bag 187 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: real quick, cause I working on the slagh.

Hey, hey, Ron and the Car Doctor, we 205 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: are back. You know, we talk an awful lot about tuning, 206 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: and in the old days we did it. You know, carburetors, 207 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: remember those, Well, maybe some of you can, maybe some 208 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: of you don't know what it is, but carburetors were 209 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 1: that mixing device that set on top of the engine. 210 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,840 Speaker 1: Everybody went out there with their trusty, handy dandy pocket 211 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 1: screw driver and gave a little and you know, adjusted 212 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 1: screws and played and tuned the engine. Well we do 213 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: that today electronically. And as a matter of fact, you've 214 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: heard me talk about the O H Silverado I drive 215 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 1: and how I took the cold bog out of it 216 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 1: using an electronic tune or I happen to use one 217 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: from the folks over at Diablo Sport, and I thought 218 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: it would be a great time to bring them around 219 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: and reach out and talk about at this time of 220 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,040 Speaker 1: year as we're all heading into the holidays, and maybe 221 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: talk a little bit about some you know, early gift 222 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,839 Speaker 1: ideas or maybe some late gift ideas depending on your perspective. 223 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: But um, in any event, I've reached out and I've 224 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: talked to uh. Matt Parker from Diablo Sport is the 225 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: Alblo Sport category manager and he's here with us today 226 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: on the car Doctor. Matt, Welcome to board. Yeah, thanks 227 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 1: for having me. Um, you know, for those that don't 228 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 1: know and maybe they're new they're just tuning into the show, 229 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: or they they haven't heard me talk about it before. 230 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: When we talk about a vehicle tuning system, what is it, Well, 231 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: vehicle tuners or programmers as they're sometimes called. They're basically 232 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 1: devices that rewrite or modify the calibration within the vehicle 233 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: t engine computer. Um you know. Those calibration changes can 234 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: either increase horsepower, improve my leage potential, or make special 235 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: changes to account for hardware modifications or personal driving preferences. 236 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: So we really go in there and customize it, uh 237 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: to to build you a better driving experience for you, 238 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 1: and uh you know, give you options to customize it 239 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: to your needs. Tuners have changed a lot though over 240 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: the years, right, I mean, I guess as as as 241 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: windows changes, as computers change, there's been a lot of 242 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 1: changes to tuners from you know, from today to a 243 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,320 Speaker 1: year ago, from today to five years ago. What sort 244 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: of changes have have have you guys seen and created? 245 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,440 Speaker 1: For sure, we we've seen a lot. Um you know. 246 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: Once upon a time, most tuning products were physical plug 247 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: in chips that uh you know had a specific tune 248 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: that was designed and no adjustment, no customization, um you know, 249 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: and realistically we've kind of taken that to a whole 250 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,679 Speaker 1: new level. We've got products like our new Trinity to 251 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: that is a five inch capacity of touch screen, So 252 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: it's kind of like having a really nice cell phone 253 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: style display on your dash that gives you swipe functionality 254 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: and all of the gauges, monitoring, and data bogging that 255 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: you could could ever hope for UM way beyond what's 256 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 1: your factory cluster is able to give you UM and 257 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: that's all built into one device. So you've got monitoring, 258 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: data logging, their diagnostics so you can re even clear 259 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: trouble codes. You know. We've even got cool stuff like 260 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: performance tests where you can, you know, get like a 261 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: tree out there and head out to an open area 262 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:22,439 Speaker 1: and do a nice uh you know, zero a six 263 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: yer quarter mile test. UM. So there's there's a whole 264 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 1: different realm of technology now with these vehicles and the 265 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 1: advancements they've made, So with our products, we can match 266 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: that and really give you a lot more custom customizable 267 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: options than than you had in the past. But it's 268 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: it's more than just power and horsepower and such, right man, 269 00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's there's other changes that you guys 270 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: have ed you know there are other features in a 271 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: tune or now Yeah, definitely. Uh. You know, our tuning 272 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: products are great for building power, and you know that's 273 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: what we are. We're a performance company. But we do 274 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: know that we have a lot of different customers with 275 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: different needs. So we have products at uh you know, 276 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: will help your car get down the track or help 277 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: your tow rig and get up the next mountain pass, 278 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,439 Speaker 1: you know, without so much load on the motor. And 279 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: we improve drive ability, like I said, better towing, better 280 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: fuel economy, or even the ability to do single purpose 281 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: like reading cleared trouble codes or adjust your sphenometer for 282 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: aftermarket tires. Uh. You know, there's a whole lot of 283 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: different features built into our product. Oh. As a matter 284 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: of fact, you know you'll actually also give the ability 285 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: to change gear ratios um in the rear acle to 286 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: correct for a spienometer too, right, Yes, definitely, if you 287 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: physically change the gears, we allow you to calibrate for 288 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: that change to get your sphenometer back. And and then 289 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 1: many vehicles, your ship points are based off a mile 290 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 1: per hour, so having that back accurate will will help 291 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: you know, correct your shifting just by itself. So one 292 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: of the things I never understood, and I've looked at 293 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: I kind of get it. But how does a tuner 294 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: improve fuel economy? Wouldn't it seemed like the manufacturer can 295 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: make as much fuel economy as he could out of 296 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: the car and make if they happy. But yet tuners 297 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: do improve fuel economy? How do you guys do it? Well? 298 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 1: You know, we we get to be a little more 299 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 1: specific in our tunes where you know, the O E 300 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: M calibrations have to account for everything. They have to 301 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: have a tune that is very specific for you know, 302 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: that can meet anyone's needs, whether they're at you know, 303 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 1: five thousand elevation, at sea level, where it's hot or cold, um, 304 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: you know, and so they have to be extremely generic. 305 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 1: Where we can get a little bit more specific and 306 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 1: release tunes that have a specific purpose in mind. You know. 307 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: So in many of our products will have a performance 308 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: tune suited for a particular octane, or we'll have a 309 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,359 Speaker 1: towing tune or an economy tune um that are specifically 310 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 1: designed for that purpose. Now you know how we do that, 311 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: you know, that's in the calibration files, and we do 312 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,280 Speaker 1: different things depending upon the vehicle. UM. You know, in 313 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: some applications. We're going to be advancing timing, leaning out 314 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: the fuel mixture to make a little more power, which 315 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: you know, if you're not heavy into the throttle, will 316 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: increase your economy just naturally, um, you know, which basically 317 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 1: allows for more efficient use of the fuel. Um. And 318 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 1: we even have products that will produce strow offensitivity, so 319 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: it's a little easier to uh, you know, stay out 320 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: of that right pedal. Uh and uh you know, be 321 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 1: a little easier in your throttle curve, which of course 322 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: will improve your economy by itself. Always a good thing 323 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,480 Speaker 1: to be able to kind of control yourself a little bit, 324 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: right And yeah, indeed. Um, So let me ask you 325 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: this does a tuner you know, I modify, I do 326 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: my software change, I I modify the engine. I make 327 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: it run you know, better fuel economy, more power. Am 328 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 1: I affecting longevity and performance or overalls? You know? Is 329 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: one trading for the other? Well, actually that's a great question, um. 330 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: And the way I'd answer that is tell you we 331 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 1: test on stock vehicles only, so you know, we don't 332 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: say we can build power on some car that is 333 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: built and has un specified upgrades to make it handle 334 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 1: the power. You know, we we test on stock vehicles 335 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,320 Speaker 1: because we want to ensure that our tunes work perfectly 336 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: with stock equipment. UM. We also design our calibrations within 337 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: basically the stock component ranges so that we can make 338 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: sure that they'll work for a wide variety of people, UM, 339 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: and keep our tunes within the you know, the maximums 340 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: and men's uh for those components. So we really are 341 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: designing our products to make sure that they, if anything, 342 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 1: will improve your longevity. UM. You know in some of 343 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 1: the vehicles we see a lot of people will be 344 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: will we reply and tell us that, you know, hey, 345 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: my vehicles shifts a lot smoother now, UM, my power 346 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: curve feels more responsive, but also you know, more predictable. Um, 347 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 1: because we we really are designing it to improve your 348 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: driving experience. And you know that that wouldn't we wouldn't 349 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: be accomplishing our goal if we were going to make 350 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,800 Speaker 1: your your vehicle, uh, you know, decrease its longevity and uh, 351 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: you know, be less efficient. I guess in the old days, 352 00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: when we said we were going to tune a car, 353 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,679 Speaker 1: we tuned it to make get run better and and 354 00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:04,640 Speaker 1: last longer. And you're really basically doing the same thing 355 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 1: you're just doing it electronically for sure. And and you know, 356 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, you know, back in the day you 357 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 1: had your your screw driver and your carburetor, you got 358 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 1: to make one change, you know, to a fuel mixture. 359 00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 1: Now we get to make changes in many different ways 360 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: with timing duration, you know, on DEFEL applications, for example, 361 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: we're messing with the pulse width and and how the 362 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: injectors fire.

Hey, hey, listeners, 390 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 1: welcome back on any of the Car Doctor. You know 391 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: we were talking and you've heard me say this before. 392 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 1: We were talking about it a little bit before in 393 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 1: the hour, I think, or maybe in a previous show 394 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: about the quality of parts. I had a car two 395 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: weeks ago in the shop. UM a vehicle about five 396 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,680 Speaker 1: six years old. It was a GM product and they 397 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 1: had an air filter in it the first time customer in. 398 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 1: It had to check engine light on first time in, 399 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: and it had an air filter in it that had 400 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: created some issues. It was setting some lean fuel trim faults, 401 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: and it had a mass airflow sensor issue pending, and 402 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 1: it really was kind of confused. This car didn't really 403 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: know what it wanted to do. It just knew it 404 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: was six. So it ended up on my doorstep. And 405 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: when I got into it and did the diagnosis, I 406 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: found that the uh, there's no easy way to say, 407 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 1: at the white box, the cheaper air filter that the 408 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,959 Speaker 1: vehicle owner had put in it trying to do some maintenance, 409 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: which is great, you know, doing maintenance on your car, 410 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: but he used the poor quality part. The wire mesh 411 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: actually collapsed and it allowed air to bypass around the filter, 412 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: and it started to collect leaves and debris on the 413 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: mass airflow center because the other mistake he made was 414 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: he didn't clean out the air box when he put 415 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: the air filter in it, and you know, all the 416 00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,679 Speaker 1: leaves and everything collect there. And I said, gee, what 417 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,600 Speaker 1: a great example of the value of of of of 418 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: using a good part. And I kind of wanted to 419 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: demonstrate that a little bit and share some knowledge with you. 420 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: So I reached out to the folks over at Bosch Automotive. 421 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: Marcela yes A is going to join us now and 422 00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,680 Speaker 1: UM he's a senior product manager over there for energy 423 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 1: systems and filtration of Bosch Automotive. We're glad to have 424 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: him here on the car. Doctor Marcella, Welcome aboard. How 425 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: are you today, sir? I'm good. How are you? I'm good? UM, 426 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: you know react to that? How often do you see that? 427 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: I mean, that's gotta be I must be preaching to 428 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: the choir. Yeah, absolutely, I mean we we see this 429 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: all the time. And this is really why why we 430 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,639 Speaker 1: really recommend to go with UM. You know, a trusted 431 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 1: brand in automotive parts. And I'm not talking about Boss 432 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: I'm I'm talking about trusted brands that have also connections 433 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: to the OE manufacturers. When we developed parts for the 434 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: OE tide of things, UM, there are quality processes and 435 00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, validation processes that are really extensive, and that's 436 00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 1: a make sure that the quality of each part that 437 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: goes out UM is where it needs to be. UM 438 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: our aftermarket parts oftentimes come from the same production line 439 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: as the OE part and that's why we think we 440 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,199 Speaker 1: have good quality parts out there, and there are other 441 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: brands that do that too, but you really want to 442 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: make sure you buy a part and where you can 443 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: be sure that you're getting that quality. You're you're too humble. Um, 444 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 1: Bosch has relationships with the O S. I mean, let's 445 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: face it, you you've guys got relationships with vehicle manufacturers. 446 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,920 Speaker 1: Who doesn't know who Bosch is? Um? You know what's 447 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: it like? You know when a when a vehicle manufacturer 448 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,440 Speaker 1: comes to Bosh and says, we want you to make 449 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: filters for this next model. You know, what are some 450 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 1: of the things that you have to go through to 451 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: to develop that product. Yeah, it's a whole techlist and 452 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: it usually takes, you know, up to a year to 453 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: go on through all these processes. They want to know 454 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: exactly what our plant looks like. They do audits on 455 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: our plans. Um, we give them control plans, design forums, 456 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: we give them out drawings or tests, certification as we 457 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: go to external third party labs and that test all 458 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: parts on all these things. Let me do this with 459 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 1: really all vehicle manufacturers out there. We're still proud to 460 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: say and there's really no car on the on the 461 00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,360 Speaker 1: street without Boss and um, we're still the number one 462 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 1: supplier in the market. So UM, you know, we have 463 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,879 Speaker 1: great relationships with all of them, and UM they have 464 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: great expectations to us, rightfully so and UM we're happy 465 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: to work with them and happy to bring those parts 466 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: also to the outer market.

UM. For someone that's you know, maybe not 469 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 1: car savvy enough to know what to change, but they 470 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: know they want to do something. Uh, you know, what 471 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: are some of the things that come to mind in 472 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 1: terms of the maintenance items that consumers can do today 473 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: to take care of the car and maybe save some 474 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: money in the long run. Sure, and especially going into 475 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: the winner season, we recommend to go into your driver's 476 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: seat and see what you can switch on and switch 477 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 1: off and check from their Those are really the the 478 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: easiest things or items to have a quick check on, 479 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: starting with for example, light bulbs. Right if you're driving 480 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: it nice, especially in the around of time, there's a 481 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: lot more driving time in the dark. You want to 482 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: make sure that they're working properly, that they're bright enough 483 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 1: so you can see you can see the road. Secondly, 484 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: wiper blay it's switch on the wiperway it.

Also the batteries 487 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 1: right start your engine, see how long it takes time 488 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: to crank and um whether the battery still has the 489 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: full strength or should potentially be parventively changed. Also the 490 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: filters UM kind of hard to check from your driver's seat. 491 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: But UM, switch on your h FAG you know, UM, 492 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: smell on it. See if there's any any weird smell 493 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: coming out of your UM your h VAX system. And 494 00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 1: that's wheally something Also in O without time and there's 495 00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,880 Speaker 1: more salt on the street, more dirt on the street. UM, 496 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: that's being posted in your cabin air photo bolts and 497 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 1: your engine air filter. UM. And you want to make 498 00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: sure you have parts in there that protect your engine 499 00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: and protect you and your health. The four bees right, bulbs, batteries, 500 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: breatheability and I forgot one? Which which one that I forget? 501 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 1: Play right? Yeah? The four bees? UM, and I guess 502 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,359 Speaker 1: it's it's safe to say, you know my rule of 503 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: thumb is if somebody's driving a car it's five years 504 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: old and they haven't put a battery in it, chances 505 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: are they're coming due for it at this point, you know, 506 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: if they haven't, if they haven't done an air in 507 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: a cabin filter in thirty thousand miles, the chances are 508 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 1: they're coming do for it right absolutely. I mean cabin 509 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: air filters and engine air photos. We recommend to exchange 510 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: every twelve miles UM. The battery lifetime is about five 511 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: to six years, depending on what kind of battery battery 512 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: you have. A GM batteries tend to be a little 513 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: longer UM. Flooded batteries between four and five UM. So 514 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: definitely think about that and make sure you if you 515 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: don't get stranded on the road. Um. We talked about batteries. 516 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: Here's the number one question we're getting this year. I 517 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 1: think it's a good time to bring it up. Battery resets. 518 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: You know, you're you're you're changing your you change a battery. 519 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: What sort of issues are you seeing or are you 520 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 1: concerned about? Um, you know, for for people changing batteries 521 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: today because of the electronics on cars. Yeah, there are 522 00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,879 Speaker 1: a couple of concerns and number one concern for us 523 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: is that sometimes you need a special code that you 524 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: need to put them to the car, and those codes 525 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,199 Speaker 1: are not shared by the vehicle manufacturers, they're not public, 526 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,360 Speaker 1: they're not shared by the Battery Council International or anything UM, 527 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: so sometimes you will have to go into a dealership 528 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: to obtain such a code. UM. What we do can 529 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: say is UM, most of the times, if you're changing 530 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: a battery and you're staying with the same cp A rating, 531 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 1: the same capacity, and you know the same specifications of 532 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: the battery you're charging, algorithm in the car doesn't need 533 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 1: to change, and that reset UM is not really doing anything. 534 00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: It's just telling the car that there's a new battery 535 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,919 Speaker 1: in it. UM and then then it's doable. But a 536 00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: lot of times you will need a special code and 537 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: that's typically only obtain m at you know, professional maintenance shops. Right. 538 00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: And then I suppose there's issues they have to be 539 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 1: aware of. Warranty they've got to be aware of. Uh, 540 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: you know, batteries just seem to be there's the start 541 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: of everything today and what you buy is going to 542 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: be reflected in warranty, roadside and and and so forth, 543 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: and that's that's really what the consumers have to be 544 00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: aware of also, so they know how to deal with 545 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 1: that should they have a problem. Right absolutely, And you 546 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 1: know we we try on our batteries to add a 547 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 1: little bit of value with a roadside of sistance program 548 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: that comes with most of our batteries. So if you 549 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,919 Speaker 1: get if you get stranted, you know, for for any reason, um, 550 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 1: you can call them up and you get a toll 551 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,720 Speaker 1: for free. UM. Things like that. Of course, warranty on 552 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,880 Speaker 1: on the battery you have up to four years warrantye 553 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: now on a GM batteries, UM. Some go with a 554 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: pro rad warranty even longer. UM. So there's some value 555 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: added their at their and you want to make sure 556 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: you keep your receipt and keep that in your car 557 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: so you can potentially get a warranty replacement. Interesting. Hey, Marcella, 558 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull over and take a pause. There's a 559 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: lot of information here. I don't want to rush this. UM. 560 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: Let me just pull over and take a pause and 561 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: we'll come right back to it. We're talking to Marcella, 562 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: yes a from Bosch Automotive. I'm Ronnating of the car 563 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 1: doctor will be back right after this, Hey, Ronnading the 564 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: car doctor. I am back. I am here today with Marcella. 565 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: Yes a. He is from Bosch Automotive. He's a senior 566 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 1: product manager over there and the energy systems and filtration. 567 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:28,480 Speaker 1: But let's sit down and talk to this guy for 568 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: about three hours about filters. I'm sure he's got some stories, 569 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: but more importantly, we're talking about vehicle maintenance and things 570 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,080 Speaker 1: you need to be aware of. We're going into winter. Um, 571 00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: you know the issues with taking care of the car, 572 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: so we can take care of you, as we say, 573 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: not to be cliche, but it's the truth. And Marcel, 574 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: before we took the pause, Um, you touched on something 575 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: you mentioned roadside assistance. I can't really stress that enough 576 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 1: about how important that is that consumers look for a 577 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: battery with the roadside assistance program because uh, never know 578 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,239 Speaker 1: when and if you're gonna have a problem and how 579 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: that's going to affect you, but that roadside assistance will 580 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: will really kind of come out and help them should 581 00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:10,040 Speaker 1: they have an issue. Correct, and you talk about that 582 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: for a minute, Yeah, absolutely, And we we don't only 583 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: only have that on batteries within Boss for example, we 584 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,400 Speaker 1: also do it on some of our stars and alternators, 585 00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:21,400 Speaker 1: and it's freely the program that helps UM the end 586 00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 1: consumers to be you know, free of any worry. UM. 587 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: If there is an issue, if your car doesn't start anymore, 588 00:29:27,520 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 1: or if your engine shuts down or whatever, it doesn't 589 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: have to be the battery. You know, it's a road 590 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: to assistance for the entire car. If you get stranded 591 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,880 Speaker 1: anywhere and you can call them up, they'll they'll go 592 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: there and they'll pick you up and tell you to 593 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: the next workshop and make sure the car gets fixed. UM. 594 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: And that's all UM free of charge, if you bought 595 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: the battery or if you bought the program with any 596 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: type of part UM from us. And I'm sure that's 597 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: that's done on other UM brands as well. Yeah it is, 598 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: and but it's a it's a it's a good point 599 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 1: people need to look for programs today, UM, because if 600 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 1: you're looking for a quality part, there's usually a program 601 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,479 Speaker 1: associated with it. Having been in the business, I can 602 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: tell you that that's the absolute truth. I see that 603 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: all the time. UM. I want to just touch real quick. 604 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: We've got about three minutes. Headlights. Headlights are an issue. 605 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 1: You know, it's getting darker faster winter months. Uh. You know, 606 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: I see some cars have really bright lights, some cars 607 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 1: have really dim lights, and you know, is there something 608 00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: they can do so that they maintain bulb you know, brightness, 609 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: luminosity and they're not caught short in the dark. Yeah. 610 00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: So the problem with light bulbs is they don't die 611 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: you know, overnight. They die gradually and they become darker 612 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: over time. And you typically a driver, you don't really 613 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 1: notice because you're using them every day and it's not 614 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 1: as significant from day to day. But what you really 615 00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: want to do is drive at night and you have 616 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 1: your lights on, and if you don't feel one hundred 617 00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 1: percent comfortable with what you're seeing, going the shop and 618 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 1: get the light bulbs exchange. You know, it's not a 619 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: uge investment, and you want to exchange both the driver's 620 00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: side and passengers side on at the same time, so 621 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 1: you don't have any friends and brightness. Um, but at 622 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,320 Speaker 1: the critical safety item we re recommend um take no 623 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,600 Speaker 1: chances and if you're not hunter, present, comfortable, go ahead 624 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 1: and change them. And I'll tell you another reason why 625 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 1: they want to change both headlights at the same time 626 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: because on on a lot of cars today to do 627 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:19,239 Speaker 1: headlight bulbs. Sometimes you take the front bumper off. You know, 628 00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:21,600 Speaker 1: if you take the front bumper off for one, just 629 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: do two would get it over with because to take 630 00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 1: that bumper off again in six months is very expensive 631 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: and crazy and unnecessary. Um. Finally, you know, the person's 632 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,680 Speaker 1: got a car zero to fifty thou miles. We maintain 633 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 1: it this way. Now that car gets to be a 634 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: hundred thousand miles, it gets to be what I consider 635 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: high mileage a little bit different, right, Can you talk 636 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 1: a little bit about high mileage maintenance items. It's a 637 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: little bit different just because your system and your powertrain system, 638 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 1: your you know, brake system, they have a lot of 639 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: miles on them already. So you want to make sure 640 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 1: that there's no additional wear and tear coming on your 641 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: vehicles so you sold last as long as possible. So 642 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 1: I think the old of the car. You know, people 643 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: tend to say, well, it's not worth as much animore, 644 00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 1: so I'm putting in cheaper parts. But that's really the 645 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 1: wrong way to go the old of the car. You 646 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: really want to make sure you get quality parts in there. 647 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: You make sure you pick the parts. For example, in 648 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,720 Speaker 1: oil filter, it's made for a higher mileage um. That's 649 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:20,000 Speaker 1: typically a higher efficiency oil filter just so less contaminants 650 00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 1: get into the system. And you know, at that additional 651 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,480 Speaker 1: wear and tear, you want to reduce that wear and 652 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: tear at that point as much as possible. You know, 653 00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 1: we say here on the Car Doctor, if you want 654 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 1: to convince yourself about putting money into the old car, 655 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: go out in price a new one that'll curry you overnight. 656 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,440 Speaker 1: So it happens right away.

Merry Christmas. 695 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 1: It was the night before Christmas and all through the 696 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,880 Speaker 1: dark not a car was still broken. All the plugs 697 00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:30,799 Speaker 1: had their spark, the wrenches were stashed all snug in 698 00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: their boxes. While me by myself was having Christmas party leftovers, 699 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: some bagels and lockses went out from the lot. There 700 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 1: rose such a clatter. I sprang to my feet and yelled, hey, 701 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,960 Speaker 1: what's the matter? Now? What to my bloodshot tired eyes 702 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,839 Speaker 1: should appear? But some crazy old guy went sleigh with reindeer. 703 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:50,799 Speaker 1: I went and I cried, oh great, just one more. 704 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:52,719 Speaker 1: I'd rather sit back, have a cup of tea and 705 00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 1: some s'mores. He approached the front door with a smile 706 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: so bright. I quickly unlocked it and turned back on 707 00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: the office light. Excuse me, kind of servant, I'm having 708 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,960 Speaker 1: some trouble. The left runner on my sleigh has started 709 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,600 Speaker 1: to wobble. The balance is wrong and it pulls to 710 00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: the right. The reindeer are working too hard this cold night. 711 00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: I have so much to do and no time left 712 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:13,960 Speaker 1: to do it. Do you think that it could well 713 00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,440 Speaker 1: please get right to it without saying a word. I 714 00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,800 Speaker 1: went to work right away to bed the alignment machine 715 00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:23,000 Speaker 1: and no specs for a sledgh. Meanwhile, the reindeer were 716 00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,440 Speaker 1: prancing around that root up in common with a couple 717 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:29,320 Speaker 1: of clowns. In a matter of moments time one point 718 00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: two the runner was straight in the alignment done too. 719 00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,919 Speaker 1: I helped them load up all the presents but one. 720 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 1: He left it to pay me for cash, and he 721 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 1: had none. I hope it's from snap on a half 722 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,920 Speaker 1: inch drive air gun. He started the slave by merely 723 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: calling their names on dash Er and Dancer, Donner and Blitzen. 724 00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 1: Get up up your butts, Rudolph comment Vixen. It started 725 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 1: to idle and float in the air. Then Rudolph led 726 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,600 Speaker 1: up the sky with his nose extraordinary, and I heard 727 00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 1: him exclaim this could have been quite a mess. The 728 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:05,360 Speaker 1: car doctor rings true. The mechanics aren't expensive, they're really priceless. 729 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:25,600 Speaker 1: Marry b and the your chrissss be wa
