UM. I didn't know it 37 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: was there as an option, but Tom Ray, my chief engineer, 38 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: is going to set the website up with podcasting, so 39 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: you can subscribe to podcast if you want to take 40 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 1: MP three's right off the website, and UM, you can 41 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: kind of do it that way as well. I wonder 42 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: if manufacturers are really playing the game square in terms 43 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,600 Speaker 1: of the way they treat recalls. We had a two 44 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: thousand seven Honda Element come into the shop this week 45 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: at our automotive and these spenometer needles were falling off, 46 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: s penometer and uh temperature gauge needles were falling off. 47 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: And there was actually a recall in a campaign that 48 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: they put a time limit on. And I'm trying to 49 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: figure out how did they actually do that where they 50 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: come up with the time limit, where they came up 51 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: with the time limit and UM allowed that to happen. 52 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 1: I couldn't figure that out. And it was interesting to 53 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: note that it ended two years ago, but the needles 54 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: are still falling off the car, and it's to me, 55 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 1: a recall like that shouldn't be shouldn't be allowed. It 56 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 1: shouldn't really be a problem. Yeah, I Ron Haron.

This happened this week at the shop. 107 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: You and I actually have a lot in common. And 108 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,799 Speaker 1: yeah in that you know how you know that story 109 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: about you on TV Miracle on thirty fourth Street where 110 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: they where they right, remember that and how that ended 111 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: with yeah, I remember that you looked good to you 112 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 1: a little little too much makeup.

It's 168 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: the beginning to like chrisness, go take a look at 169 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 1: the five and ten listening this again, what do you 170 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 1: think I could do this instead of radio No Hunt, 171 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,640 Speaker 1: Tom Road and the car Doctor here up. Tom's got 172 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: a comment like, yeah, I kind of figured, you know, 173 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: But listen, God gave me the ability to do one 174 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: thing right and most of the time else I just 175 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 1: fixed cars. So let's get on over and start answering 176 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,599 Speaker 1: some questions. At zero nine nine zero zero, let's go 177 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 1: over and talk to Andy Westwood, New Jersey. Andy, you're 178 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: wund with the car doctor. How can I help? Sir? Um? 179 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: First of all, I'd like to state I know absolutely 180 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: nothing about cars. Is you're gonna be able to tell 181 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: from my question? Okay? Um, okay. I do a lot 182 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: of driving fromont on mountainous roads, so any time I 183 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: take a car in for maintenance, I always asked them 184 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: to check the brakes. So I have a two thousand, 185 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: fourteen gmc Acadia and I had twenty three thousand miles, 186 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: and I went in and I asked them to check 187 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: for breaks the brakes, and they told me everything's fine, 188 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: and then twenty five thousand miles the breaks started to 189 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 1: go out. And this happened. This is the second time 190 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: it happened to me. It also happened with the two 191 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: thousand nine Accurate m d X where I went in 192 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: for an oral change. I asked them to check the brakes. 193 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 1: They said fine, and then I had to have my 194 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: card toad from the thru Way. So my question is, 195 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: is it absolutely useless for me to ask a mechanic 196 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: to check the brakes because it's not an exact science, 197 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: or are they incompetent? Well, I have to answer. I 198 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,439 Speaker 1: have to answer that question by asking a question. When 199 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: they checked the brakes, First of all, how are they 200 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: doing it? And the second part of the question is, 201 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 1: and I'll hope you answer this when you say the 202 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: cakes went out, they went out. How they were grinding 203 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: metal on metal with the GMC they were grinding and 204 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: the car was shimmying. Uh and uh, how to get 205 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: rotors and pads. On the Accura it did the same thing. 206 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: But then my foot went all the way down to 207 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,200 Speaker 1: the end and the brakes just kind of got We're out. Okay, Okay, 208 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 1: So let's talk about the Accurate for a minute. It 209 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: sounds like on the Accura you lost hydraulic pressure somewhere 210 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 1: along the way, either hydraulic line failed or the brake 211 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 1: pad was so badly warned that the brake piston caliper 212 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 1: popped out or it lost fluid or something hydraulic happened. Alright, 213 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: even on a vehicle where the brakes go metal on metal, 214 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: and that expression comes from the fact that you're now 215 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: riding on the metal backing portion of the pad against 216 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 1: the metal portion of the road or hence metal on metal, uh, 217 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: you know, makes a grinding sound. You won't lose the 218 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: brake pedal unless it's so low that or it's so 219 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: far out that the piston can actually come out of 220 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,960 Speaker 1: the aliber, which in extreme situations I've seen. To answer 221 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: the question are they incompetent, the question I have is 222 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: when they say the brakes are good, do they measure them? 223 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: Do they physically give you a dimension? And the reason 224 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: I asked that is a brake pad, a new brake 225 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:25,959 Speaker 1: pad is about ten millimeters thick, all right, andy, And 226 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 1: what we have and and as they wear, you know, 227 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,959 Speaker 1: it's it's a measurement thing. So when we measure breaks, 228 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 1: and the way I was taught to measure breaks, it's 229 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: measurement and there's actually a set of gauges accepted by 230 00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: the industry eight to ten um, you know, five to seven, 231 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 1: three to four and so on. When brake pads get 232 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 1: down around the two millimeter mark, three millimeter mark, it's 233 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: time to put brakes on the car. And if they're 234 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: just saying, yeah, the brakes are good, what's the measurement 235 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: and and and how are they checking them? Are they 236 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 1: Are they physically pulling the wheels down down, looking at 237 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: the inner and outer pad, are they Because a lot 238 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: of cars today the wheel designers so that you could 239 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: actually look through the wheel, see the brake pads sitting 240 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: against the rotor, and you can look at the outer pad, 241 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: looking at the outer pad all the way around. Is great, 242 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: But that's only half the brake system. There's a whole 243 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: another brake pad on the inside. There's two pads per wheel. 244 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: So if they're not physically pulling the wheel and making 245 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: a measurement, they're they're doing you a disservice or worth 246 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: Yet they're stealing your money if they're charging you for this. 247 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: If this is a formal brake inspection and they're not 248 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: doing the job right, they're incompetent at that point. But 249 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: there's there's not a lot of reasons I can come 250 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: up with. If someone is to measure brake pads and say, Andy, 251 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: you've got four to five millimeters on all the brake 252 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: pads all the way around the vehicle, and two thousand 253 00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: miles later the brakes go metal on metal. There better 254 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 1: be a brake caliper on that bill, or there better 255 00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,719 Speaker 1: be a stuck caliper on that bill. There's got to 256 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: be a reason why that break war out over almost 257 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 1: fifty of itself in less than two thousand miles, where 258 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: the first of it took three thousand. I'll use the 259 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: mileage on the GMC. Does that make sense? Yeah? So 260 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 1: could I just sign this up? If they do the 261 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 1: if they do the inspection correctly by measuring, it should 262 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: be a pretty good absolutely, absolutely, and and all and 263 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: all vehicles, you know, once of even a new vehicle. 264 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick it. I'm gonna stick to my guns 265 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 1: and say it like this, Every vehicle should have the 266 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: brakes inspected once a year. And I can and I 267 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,320 Speaker 1: can make the argument if you drive thirty thousand miles 268 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: a year, or if you drive two thousand miles a year, 269 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 1: if you drive two thousand miles a year. A proper 270 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: break inspection is going to include to make sure the 271 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: calipers are free and moving. And if you're driving thirty 272 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: thousand miles a year, it's gonna be that. And how 273 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: thick are the brake pads? So brakes are just something 274 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: we depend on. It's like looking at your tires. It 275 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: should be tires and brakes once a year. Everything should 276 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 1: get inspected regardless. Excellent. Alright, you're very welcome. You more, 277 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: You're very welcome to take good care of Let's get 278 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: over to talk to Frank mount A from New York, 279 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: I think that is, and some questions about a new 280 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: car purchase. Frank, you'reround with the car doctor. How can 281 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: I help? Hi? Ron, I'm looking at a Mini Coopers 282 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: and I just wanted to know your opinion of the car. 283 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: And then I wanted to know what you think about 284 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: buying an extended warranty on the vehicle. What did joan before? Frank? 285 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,920 Speaker 1: I and BMW's and cheery Chevy. Okay, so what's the 286 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: Mini Cooper replacing the BMW or the Chevy Um. To 287 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: be honest with you, it's a it's a toy car. Convertible, 288 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: So it's going to be a play toy, all right, 289 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: who's gonna Who's gonna fix it? Um? So I have 290 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: two things. I the gentleman that fixes my BMWs. Uh, 291 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: he also will fix mini and the dealership. Okay, then 292 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 1: you know minis are an okay car line. The problem 293 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:03,360 Speaker 1: comes with repairing them. They are specific, they are very proprietary, 294 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: They don't release a lot of information to the outside, 295 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: and you do need a dealer level scan tool realistically 296 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: to work on them. Uh. You know, we see a 297 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 1: few Minis passed through the shop and it's a learning 298 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: curve every time one comes in because we don't see 299 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: enough of them, and what we see of them. And 300 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: having conversations with some of the BMW guys and talking 301 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: to them and what they work on and what they've 302 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 1: seen is yeah, they're they're very specific and very proprietary. 303 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: One conversation I had with one of the BMW specialists 304 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: in the area recently was about many and his comment 305 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: to me was everyone thinks that they are a mini 306 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: BMW No pun intended, and he said what people don't 307 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: realize is they're made in England and they're really not 308 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: that great of a car. In terms of engineering, there's 309 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: nothing like a BMW, which I thought was interesting and 310 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: I and I share that with you just because you're 311 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: gonna purchase one. I'm not saying too or not. Uh. 312 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: You know, my rule is, by something you like, when 313 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,720 Speaker 1: it breaks, you won't mind fixing it, and if you've 314 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: got the right guy fixing it, you're okay. Uh. That 315 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 1: being that being said, you're still buying a six year 316 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: old car, regardless of mileedge. I don't care if it's 317 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: got thirty thousand miles on it or three or a 318 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: thousand miles on it. You're still buying a six year 319 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: old car. So yeah, then the conversation comes up about 320 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: the extended warranty. How good is the extended warranty and 321 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: what does it really cover? You know, if if if 322 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: it covers if the engine falls out, of the transmission 323 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: blows up. You know, that's great, But that's not what 324 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,879 Speaker 1: I'm looking for. I'm looking for the extended warranty that 325 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,960 Speaker 1: really truly covers the electronics in the car, because those 326 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: are the things that tend to become the problem un 327 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 1: used vehicles, especially electronic vehicles today, and that's where the 328 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: money is, you know, I I don't want or think 329 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: an extended warranty policy is going to cover breaks and 330 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 1: tires or struts. You know, a vehicle like that, you 331 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: couldn't have probably upgrade the suspension system anyway, and uh, 332 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: you know, make it a little bit of a speechter. 333 00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 1: People tend to do that, a little bit of performance. 334 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 1: And I understand all that you're looking for the cataclysmic 335 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,439 Speaker 1: failure in the electronics arena as well as Heaven forbid, 336 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 1: the engine fails, the trans fails and so forth. You know, 337 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: it's it's just that type of a car. It is, 338 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,199 Speaker 1: in my opinion, a mini BMW, even though maybe the 339 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: quality level isn't there. Does that make sense? Yeah? Okay, um, 340 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: you know, just remember you're buying something you like. What's 341 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: my number one rule? By something you'll like. When it breaks, 342 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: you want mind fixing it? So but um, yeah, go ahead, 343 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 1: why not? And you know the other side of that 344 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 1: conversation becomes, Frank, life's too short. Enjoy yourself and buy 345 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: yourself a nice little car. All right, Frank, you're still 346 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: there's Frank Gohn. Frank's gun. I guess okay, Hey, Merry Christmas, Frank, 347 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 1: and we hope you enjoy that car. I'm ronning any 348 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: in the car Doctor and UM, I hope you're enjoying 349 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: your car. If not, give me a quality five zero zero. 350 00:18:55,320 --> 00:19:15,359 Speaker 1: We'll be back right after this.

We are live Saturday afternoons to 363 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,359 Speaker 1: the four pm Eastern time, and we go over the 364 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 1: network as well as we go out on the lays 365 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,119 Speaker 1: to some of the affiliates, some of them rely on, 366 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: some of them on delay. But um, you can get 367 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: in line by calling zero zero and I'll be glad 368 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: to talk to you about your car problem and we 369 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: can help you solve it and get your car back 370 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,959 Speaker 1: on the road and out on its way. Let's go 371 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,720 Speaker 1: on our way. Let's go over and talk to Tom 372 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: west Nyack, New York Camaro and UM thinking about purchasing 373 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: it and wants to talk about magnetic ride control. Tom, 374 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: it looks like santathing to bring you a new toy. 375 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor. Good sir, what's going on. 376 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: I'm thinking about the two thousands of sixteen Camaro and 377 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: one of the major options is magnetic ride control. They 378 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: put on events, they put on a lot of the 379 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: Cadillacs from n g M models, yep. And I was 380 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 1: just wondering, Um, if you're familiar with it and as 381 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: it really worked the sevent have you have you driven 382 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 1: a car? Have you driven one with and without it? 383 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: Frank Tom, I'm sorry. The camaro is are just starting 384 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: to hit the right But I mean, if you've driven 385 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: any other GM product with and without it, it's a 386 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 1: staggering difference. It really is. Uh, you know it is. 387 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: You're right. It is on the higher line Cadillacts, it 388 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: is on the you know, it is on the vets. 389 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 1: And there's a lot of good things about magnetic ride control. 390 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: But guess what the bad thing is? There is one 391 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: bad thing. Yeah, when it breaks. The bad thing is 392 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:30,840 Speaker 1: when it breaks. Boy is it expensive? And and and 393 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: that's an issue. But you know, listen, you know what 394 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: if if we didn't play with cards as kids, and 395 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: you know, you know, play with hot rods and put 396 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: two fours and all the other things we all did 397 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: as as as kids playing with hot rods on cars 398 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: aware of what happens when they break, then you know what, 399 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 1: this is just like a bigger car with a bigger toy, 400 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,159 Speaker 1: and it's just more money. What's the difference? Um I 401 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,000 Speaker 1: I think it would kind of make you happy. I 402 00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: think it would be that much of a difference. Only 403 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: you can decide that. But yeah, the cost of replacement 404 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 1: parts does get to be expensive. Of course, the first 405 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,080 Speaker 1: question becomes how long are you gonna keep the car? 406 00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: I'm talking seven eight years out. This is gonna be 407 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: garage cap sunny day only. This is this is the 408 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:21,199 Speaker 1: toy to three or if that? Um My, my biggest 409 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: concern with that was does the system itself mind sitting 410 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,639 Speaker 1: around that long without being used? Is that detrimental to 411 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 1: the system? Or should I just keep it simple? I 412 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: don't think that sitting around is any more detrimental to 413 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 1: that system than it is to the rest of the car. However, 414 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: that being said, all right, you know, if this, if 415 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: this car really is gonna be longevity, if if this 416 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 1: is gonna be eight, nine, ten years from now, the 417 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: one thought that comes to my mind is parts, you know. 418 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: But then again, we're gonna talk about parts on anything. 419 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: On it's a giant pinball machine. Is an awful lot 420 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 1: of electronics there, and you know, there's no way to 421 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 1: predict what eight years out is gonna look like in 422 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: terms of electronic module availability and in terms of what 423 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to go out and buy. So 424 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: part of me says, keep it simple. Part of me says, 425 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: drive it three years. If you really like the car 426 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: with you know, buy it without magnetic ride control. Drive 427 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,440 Speaker 1: it for three years. If you really liked the car, 428 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 1: in three years, will have gotten the bugs out of it, 429 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,200 Speaker 1: because I'm sure first year magnetic ride control on anything, 430 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,480 Speaker 1: you know, even if they don't have the technology around 431 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,880 Speaker 1: for a while, I'm sure there's gonna be something. Uh, 432 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,640 Speaker 1: you know, It's like buying that car the first time, 433 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: the first model year it's out you you know, you 434 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: kind of want to shy away from that, you know, 435 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: maybe you want in three years technology. Oh yeah, absolutely, 436 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 1: it's it's been on. We've got a customer with a 437 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: Corvette that comes into the shop with it um and 438 00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: I believe he's got a two thousand five or six memory, 439 00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: serves me correct, But it's it's just that, you know, 440 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: again they're moving into a different model year. What sort 441 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: of issues might they come up with? And you know 442 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: that's it's like you said, it's not cheap and do 443 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: you want to do you want to be the guinea pig? 444 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 1: You know. So it's just a mileage or time. Let's 445 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: saying three thousand miles a year, ten thousand, ten years, 446 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: there's only thirty thousand miles. Would time be detrimental to 447 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: the system because I think Tom, I think I think 448 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 1: time because there's still gonna be rubber components involved in 449 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,160 Speaker 1: any kind of a shock absorber, So you know, at 450 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: that point, rubber is still going to become the issue. 451 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: You know, but then again, rubber is going to become 452 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 1: the component. You know, ten years from now, that ten 453 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: year old modern day car, you wonder what it's gonna 454 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 1: look like there's a vast difference. And I was having 455 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: this conversation with an engineer this week from GM as 456 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: a matter of fact, in that there is a vast 457 00:24:57,119 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 1: difference from the two thousand five model a year car 458 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: of any manufacturer, most manufacturers, as he pointed out, versus 459 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: a car in terms of the technology that's in it, 460 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:11,880 Speaker 1: it's just huge. It's it's that two thousand five car 461 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: is so much more mechanical versus And the analogy that 462 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: I drew to him as I said, I've got a 463 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 1: nineties seven Ford Ranger. That's the little shop truck. Now 464 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 1: that's a computerized vehicle, but it's pretty simple and basic. 465 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 1: And I said that nineties seven compared to the two 466 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 1: thousand five. He said, and he picked up the conversation. 467 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: He said, right, he said, is like the difference between 468 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,440 Speaker 1: the two thousand five and it's it's just so far 469 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 1: ahead of it. That really is such an advanced vehicle 470 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 1: that the electronics are so heavily laden into it that 471 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 1: you know, you have to ask yourself what's it gonna 472 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 1: look like five six years from now. Um, My concern 473 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: on all of this tom magnetic ride control and everything else, 474 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: as side is I wonder if we're slowly shooting ourselves 475 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: in the foot be because to keep the technology available 476 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 1: in terms of spare parts on anything made in the 477 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 1: last three years, you know, the cost to warehouse and 478 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: and and replicate module after module and electronic pieces after 479 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 1: electronic piece. What's that gonna cost? And is it going 480 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 1: to be available? And you know, our our cars slowly 481 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: dooming themselves. There's so much technology that you just can't 482 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,680 Speaker 1: possibly how's the repair information for it? That the only 483 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: time will tell. So you know, part of me says 484 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: you have to buy it with and part of me says, 485 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: keep it simple. You'll probably enjoy the card just as much. 486 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, keep it around, you know, cheaper 487 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 1: and simpler. Um. So that would be probably my vote 488 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 1: at this point. So alright, sir, we're good luck to 489 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 1: you and and and enjoy your right have a good Christmas. 490 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 1: You're very welcome. Um. Yeah, it's a tough call. It's 491 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: something you know, we we deal with every day. I 492 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,480 Speaker 1: was just saying this to someone this morning. We talked 493 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: about technology and this time of year, it's time to 494 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: ramp the shop up and get ready for next year. 495 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:04,280 Speaker 1: And you know, already in the last four months we've 496 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 1: spent between laptops and replacing a couple of factory scan tools, 497 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 1: dealer level scan tools for Ford in Toyota and a 498 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,919 Speaker 1: few others, and um, I'm not done yet. It's going 499 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: to be an expensive end a year and it's it's 500 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,240 Speaker 1: just keeping up with the technology. And I don't have 501 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: to go through this every year anymore because we've we've 502 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: we've got so many things established, but you know, just 503 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: upgrading things. And it's not unlikely it's been twelve to 504 00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,199 Speaker 1: fifteen thousand dollars in a year just to keep the 505 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: shop current if you want to work at dealer level, 506 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: and it's getting very expensive. And I say to myself, 507 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,399 Speaker 1: if it's getting expensive for the tooling, then what's happening 508 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,679 Speaker 1: with the cars? And at what point do we slowly 509 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: kind of you know, push ourselves out of the out 510 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: of the way. And it's, uh, it's it's gonna be 511 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,440 Speaker 1: interesting to watch. I know, Uh, I know, I'm looking 512 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 1: at the next couple of years saying where's all this going? 513 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,440 Speaker 1: Because you the consumer ultimately pay the price tag to 514 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: fix cars um in terms of UM in terms of 515 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: the cost of the repair, and that's whether it's done 516 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 1: at a dealer or an independent. So something to watch. 517 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,120 Speaker 1: Eight five zero nine zero zero Nat in the Car Doctor, 518 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: We're back right after this.

I apologize to the folks 545 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: out there to Nova. We've got some of their products 546 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: in the shop as well, and we use those two 547 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 1: so in Nova dot Com, I double N O V 548 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: A UM email. I just put a brand new Hunday 549 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: sonat I RAN and I've got a couple of questions 550 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 1: about service intervals. I'm going with what my dealer recommends, 551 00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: and that's the severe use of schedule. Oil changes every 552 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,200 Speaker 1: thirty seven miles, cooling plugs and transmission at sixty After that, 553 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,800 Speaker 1: cooling gets changed every thirty Does this seem right to you? 554 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna answer these as I go along. UM, yeah, 555 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: that's reasonable. I like the I like the oil change interval. Uh. 556 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: The one thing I would change on oil is maybe 557 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:26,760 Speaker 1: go to a synthetic I think, you know, I like 558 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 1: synthetic oil if we're looking for the real deal long 559 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: term lands and this is from Lands by the way, Um, 560 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: synthetic oil, uh is the way to go trans service 561 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:40,320 Speaker 1: at sixty If that's a cvt UM maybe, But if 562 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: it's regular fluid, I think sixties a little long in 563 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,360 Speaker 1: the tooth, and I would be changing trans fluid every thirty. 564 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: It's simple enough to do. It should be a drain 565 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: and fill and there's a sight plug in that transmission, 566 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: so it's not that big a deal. I like to 567 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,240 Speaker 1: do trans fluid a little early simply because we seem 568 00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 1: to have the technology as a as an industry that 569 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,360 Speaker 1: can get any engine up the three thousand milesles with 570 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: proper oil changes, you know. And that's that's what quality 571 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 1: oils will about Penns Oil Synthetics nothing better. Um. You 572 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,640 Speaker 1: know you hear me talk about it all the time. 573 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: Find more Penns Oil Synthetics dot com. And in terms 574 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 1: of the quality of their motor oil. But um, we 575 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: have issues with trans fluid, and I think changing trans 576 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:20,240 Speaker 1: fluid at the thirty thousand mile mark we're better off. 577 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: In the case of synthetic I'll go to fifty. But 578 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: after that, I'm saying, why wait, the price of the 579 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: trans is really too much. Also, Lands continues because the 580 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,560 Speaker 1: engine is g d I gas Line Direct Injection Day 581 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: recommends a gas treatment and from what I read online, 582 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 1: their gas treatment to Chevron fuel system Cleaner. Yeah. Probably 583 00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:40,000 Speaker 1: g d I engines are prone to carbon build up. 584 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,320 Speaker 1: He says. Using top tier helps with using a higher octane. 585 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,720 Speaker 1: Help what can I do to avoid these problems? Um? 586 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:48,880 Speaker 1: By the way, octane fuel is something that's going away. 587 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,960 Speaker 1: You know, high octane fuel is going to lose its 588 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 1: detergency factor. Um in a short period of time. They 589 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: say by e P A mandate is going to pull 590 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: octane out of UH the or the deterre and editors 591 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,160 Speaker 1: out of the higher octane, which is gonna be really 592 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,080 Speaker 1: interesting and it's gonna make the need for carbon cleaning 593 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 1: that much more important. UM. So, if you want to 594 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 1: read more about that and you want to do guest 595 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,240 Speaker 1: lean treatment fuel system cleaning, what I just said, go 596 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: look up b G fuel System products and um see 597 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: what they have to say, and see what they talk about, 598 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,160 Speaker 1: and take a look at that. You can solve that 599 00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,080 Speaker 1: as well. Top tier does help the cars knew I've 600 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: only got eighteen our miles on the keep in the 601 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: room for a while. Um.
