31
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: it's everything is being recalled. And just as we were

32
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: about to go to air today, YNDA recalls four hundred

33
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: and seventy thousand US sonatas to fixed engine debris defect.

34
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: And I was reading this and I was talking to

35
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: my engineer, Tom Ray about it, and I said, Tom, read,

36
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: read the recall, and it says Hunday's recalling and replacing

37
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: the engines in nearly half a million Sonata Sedans in

38
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: the US because of a manufacturing defect that could cause

39
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: them to stall. The recall covers four hundred and seventy

40
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: thousand vehicles made between December eleventh, two thousand nine and

41
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: April twelve, twelve at the company's Alabama assembly plant equipped

42
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: with the two or two point four leader engine. A

43
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: document published by the new U. S. National Highway Traffic

44
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: Safety Administration states that metallic debris may remain in the

45
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: crankshaft area, restricting oil flow. Engine failure would result in

46
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: a vehicle stole, increasing the risk of a crash in

47
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: h t S. A said, and my comment to Tom was,

48
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: if we've got restrictive oil in there, and the car

49
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: was made two thousand nine through two thousand twelve, that's

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: four years ago at the at the earliest, how does

51
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 1: it take this long to work at way through that

52
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: it's not there by now the engine would have seen

53
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: I could see if this was, you know, the first

54
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: three months often, but we're going back seven years. Tom,

55
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: you wanted to say something to me, how many cars,

56
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: how many engines could have seized by this time? I mean,

57
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: if this is this is an ongoing problem that it

58
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 1: forced to recall, they almost have known about this a

59
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: while back. Well, And you know, the interesting thing about

60
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: recalls that that I always consider is it's always interesting

61
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: to note how they recall things that are eight years old,

62
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: ten years old, fifteen years old, because the liability is gone,

63
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: but then they don't have to fix it. And they

64
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: don't have to fix it. And here's the best part.

65
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: You know, I think the favorite of an auto manufacturer

66
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: for a recall is to recall something that is seven

67
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: years old. That's the sweet spot. Seven years old. The

68
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: wife takes the car in the husband's you know, at work. Hey, honey,

69
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: I'm here getting the car recalled. Gee, you know, my

70
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: car is kind of beat up in all this one's

71
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: shiny and new. Maybe we'll buy a new car, you know.

72
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: Or maybe it's the other way around. I want to

73
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: be politically incorrect here. Maybe it's the husband and the

74
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: wife's work and whatever, but you get the point. Um.

75
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: You know, sometimes I think they drum up recoils because

76
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: they're they're trying to drum up car sales. But be aware, listeners,

77
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: that recoils are big business. Right now. The car companies

78
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: are taking a beating, and you're gonna see changes in

79
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 1: the way cars are sold and brought the market in

80
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: this country in the coming years, depending on who gets

81
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: to be president. And um, it's just to throw that

82
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: in there, and I'll make this a political show Trump,

83
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: but um, we'll we'll see where that goes. Let's kick

84
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: the garage doors open. This hour. Let's go start with

85
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: Robin Farrell in New Jersey nine to night, Mercury, Grand Marquee, Robert.

86
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car, doctor, sir, how can I help?

87
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: Welcome to you? Run? They had a like I put

88
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: a battery in while ago. Then I'm driving along maybe

89
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: a day or two later, and the car starts shaking.

90
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,799
Speaker 1: All the dashboard lights go on, the car dies. I can't.

91
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: I won't even one turnover anymore. He did something. He says, well,

92
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: you got you must have an alarm in this system

93
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: and this car. Somehow I got no key fiber on them,

94
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: bought the car second hand? What is this little red

95
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: flashing light that's near the inspection sticker on the dashboard?

96
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: That scared? I don't know what the heck it is?

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: And that's part of the problem. Well you're not well

98
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: you have a red light blinking? Rob Is that what

99
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 1: you're saying? Um? Is it? Does it look like the

100
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: engine overheat light? Whatsoard? Right? Right? Oh? That Oh, that's

101
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: the okay, you're talking about the path system. That's the

102
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: anti theft light that's supposed to be that's normal, that's

103
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: part of the anti theft. That's that's passive passive anti

104
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: theft system PATS. That's what that is. That's supposed to

105
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: blink and do what it's supposed to do. That's normal,

106
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: that's part of the system. Aware. No, nothing you should

107
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: be aware of. There's actually a way to decipher that.

108
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 1: I believe if it stays on solid, it's in the

109
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: theft mode. If it blinks, it's normal. But that's just

110
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: telling you that the system is active and probably has

111
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: nothing to do with whatever is going on here. The

112
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: first place to start with this would be, you know,

113
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: vital signs, scanner for codes, check system fuel pressure, watch volume,

114
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: look at fuel cleanliness, make sure the charging systems doing

115
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: what it's supposed to do. Was the battery replaced as maintenance,

116
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: rob or was there something else specific that it went

117
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: in for. Uh No, it was just a maintenance three

118
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: or four years old, right, okay? And what does he

119
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: what does he say is the cause? That's something to

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: do with the He said, you must have some kind

121
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: of um alarm system on here. So right away I

122
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: looked at this blink, I'm light, that's the problem. I

123
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 1: had the same thing going forward. If my battery needs it,

124
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: you're saying that, worry about that passive right pats that

125
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: that blinking light is factory part of the car. That's

126
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: the factory alarm system. Do you have an owner's manual

127
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: in the car? Rob, Yeah, but I don't remember seeing anything. Okay,

128
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: if you, if you, if you go in and look

129
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: at it, it'll either be under PATS P A t

130
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 1: S or security features or anti theft and you can

131
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: read up on it or Google and it will explain

132
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: what that light means, how that light specifically works for

133
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: your vehicle. But you know, going back to the original problem,

134
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: you know, the battery. The car died, it was towed in.

135
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: I would be mindful is there something else going on here?

136
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: I don't think it's battery related, but you know, without

137
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: going through vital signs and checking out some of the

138
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: specifics I talked about, it's hard to say I would

139
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: be cautious where I would drive that car until you

140
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: get your sea legs back and you get comfortable with

141
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: it again. All right, sir, good luck to you, and

142
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: I'm here if you need me, Bob in Michigan. How

143
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 1: can I help you in your two thousand three Catillac CTS?

144
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I've got this uh CTS Cadillact but

145
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: miles on it and all of a sudden, I mean

146
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: it is literally possessed, like driving down the road. The well,

147
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: how it first started out was like a passenger warning,

148
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: passenger warning, you know, light came on in a little

149
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: beat beat beat, and tried to you know, reset it,

150
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: you know whenen' reset. And the next thing I know,

151
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: that's going from the passenger windows to the back windows.

152
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: And now the lights are going on and off. And

153
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: I just don't have any idea of what it is.

154
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: What what sort of fold codes are in the system?

155
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: Bob scanning, I don't know. Okay, here's why. Here's why

156
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: you want to scan a car. This is a perfect

157
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,119
Speaker 1: example of a car that needs to be scanned before

158
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 1: you go anywhere else. You see any warning lights on

159
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: the dashboard other than the passenger door and the other

160
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: things that everything on the I guess the main dashes,

161
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, nothing's coming up at all. And do you

162
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: know why? I can tell you why, but I want,

163
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: I want, I want to make you think for a second,

164
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: just just say I guess electrical problem. Well, well, and

165
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: here's start a module or something. I don't know. Here's

166
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: my point, A check engine light only comes on if

167
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 1: the vehicle is exceed eating one and a half times

168
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: the federal emissions level. All right, So everybody makes the mistake,

169
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: they'll they'll they'll have a problem like this, and they

170
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: won't think to scan it for codes because there's no

171
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: warning light on. If there's a problem in the body

172
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: module or in any of one of the other two

173
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: dozen computers that run this vehicle, there's no there's there's

174
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: there's probably not a warning light to turn it on

175
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 1: at the dashboard. Yeah, there's one for the A B S,

176
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: and there's one for anti theft, and there's one for

177
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: a few of the others. But if there's a fault

178
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: in the body module, which controls windows and lights or

179
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: the headlights acting goofy okay, then you know what, the

180
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: body module has no way to communicate to the driver

181
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: have I've got a problem. So the first the first place,

182
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: the mechanic or the technician, whatever flavor you prefer to

183
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: call your guy that's working on the car today, is

184
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 1: gonna start is doing what we call a system scan.

185
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: Hook up a scan tool, let it go through all

186
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: the modules. Just like you walked into the emergency room

187
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: at the Heart at the hospital. Heart blood, blood pressure,

188
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: heart rate, you know, uh, vital signs, taking your vitals.

189
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: That's what you need to take, and then you'll have

190
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: a direction. I'd be willing to bet there's gonna be

191
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: a few communication faults in this vehicle, a couple of

192
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: you codes and maybe some specific ones giving you a direction.

193
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: But until you do that, there's an awful lot of

194
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: places to throw the darts at this car. Without being

195
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: much more specific than that, Well, there are modules there.

196
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: How many how many phones do you have? How many

197
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: phones do you have in your house? Bob? Okay, guess what?

198
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: So does the car? There's modules all over that car,

199
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: so it's it's not something and I would I would

200
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: tell you not to even dream about going near one,

201
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: to touch one, to wiggle one, to manipulate one, because

202
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: it could be in the wiring harness around the tail

203
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: lights and the modules up front around the dashboard. You know,

204
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: the first thing you want to do in a case

205
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 1: like this is used the manufacturer's diagnostics what they gave you.

206
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: Plugging a scan tool and let it go out and

207
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: pull P O L L. Talk to all them Jules

208
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,719
Speaker 1: and say, okay, who's here. It's kind of like when

209
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: you have everybody over for family dinner. Do you have

210
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 1: family dinners? Right? Everybody shows up and you take attendance.

211
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: You gotta take attendance. Who's awake, who's paying attention, who's complaining,

212
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 1: who's got a fault code? And then you'll have a

213
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 1: direction to go because you won't get any other warning

214
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,839
Speaker 1: on the dashboard for this particular problem. All right, sir,

215
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: you do that, You pull me back if you need

216
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: to email me fault codes during the week ron at

217
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Car Doctor Show dot com and I'll be glad to

218
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: send you some information or come on the air again.

219
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it on there. I'm sure the listeners

220
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: are curious to hear how this turns out. I appreciate

221
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: the call Bob ron and naming the card Doc zero zero,

222

00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: one with the wind and hangers and the ham welcome back.

224
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: Why don't they need in the car doctor? Thanks? Mr Ray.

225
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: I enjoyed hearing that. I told Tom at the beginning

226
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: of the show, I wanted to hear a little bit

227
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 1: of top gun and I got it. How do you

228
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: like that looking at it? That's jumping up to deck.

229
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: There you go. So, UM, I guess being the guy

230
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 1: on the radio kind of you get some benefit from this. Um.

231
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: Can I get a ham and Swiss on rye with

232
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of mustard for lunch? That? Yeah? Okay,

00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: And I want to eat. I want to eat three

00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 1: meals a day. I want to live indoors. I'm just

240
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a really see guy. Let's let's go

241
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: over and talk to Barbara and banger Main two thousand

242
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: six Toyota, Barbara, welcome to the car doctor. We're hungry,

243
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: but we're working hard today. What can I do for you? Hi? Um,

244
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: this is kind of taken on to you to your

245
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: report last week when you mentioned about the oil problem

246
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: with the rapt fours. I purchased a RAPT four two

247
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: thousand six limited, and I was kind of a saga.

248
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: I'm trying to I want to be sure to give

249
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 1: you all the info. Take take a deep breath. It's okay, okay,

250
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: it has It had a hundred fifty thousand, three d

251
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 1: eight seven miles on it, and the car facts reports

252
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: said that it was serviced at a hundred forty five thousand,

253
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: eight hundred ninety miles, and I'm thinking later, I said,

254
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: that's about nine thousand miles ago unless they did something

255
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: at the dealership and and record it on carfax. UM.

256
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: The sticker when I purchased it said it pasted inspection

257
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: and the next oil change was due a hundred and

258
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:15,239
Speaker 1: fifty thousand. Well, the next part of the saga um.

259
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks after I purchased that the flickering

260
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: light went on, and so I thought, well, maybe the

261
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: mechanic forgot to set something or so, because it's at

262
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty thousands, so where about five To make

263
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: a long story short, I took disregards the flickering light

264
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: for a little bit, and then the third week I

265
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: took it in and, um, the my my mechanics, let

266
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: it usually go to He said, you don't have any oil.

267
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: Y're down for four and a half quarts. You have

268
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: like about two tablespoons of oil. So let me ask

269
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: what's your what's your recourse with the place that you

270
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: bought it from. Well, my thought is they are aware

271
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: of the problem. I was going to finish the rest

272
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: of the saga and and and I was thinking, I'm

273
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: really thinking of taking the car back. Um. The guy

274
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: seems really the sales manager seems very agreeable. I mean,

275
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: not agreeable to exchange a point, but he's been getting

276
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: my letters and my feedback. Um. The next day, after

277
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: after they replaced the four and a half quarts of oil,

278
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 1: I had a coupon from Triple A to take it

279
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: in for an alignment. I thought, I'll use that since

280
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,480
Speaker 1: I have the car. The car tires had just been rotated,

281
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: and the Triple A mechanics said, we got a problem here.

282
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: He said, you've got a hole in the right rear

283
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: rocker panel, a large hole, and this car should never

284
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: pass inspection. I thought, oh, this is good. Now I've

285
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 1: got oil rocker panel. So UM. A couple of days

286
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: later I to get down to the dealership and they

287
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: repaired the rusted large hole, and they repaired the other

288
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: side on the right, on the left rear. But the

289
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: the sales manager said, the mechanics said that it was

290
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: put on the lift wrong, and I thought, well, question

291
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: about that rust is rust. So so listen, I don't

292
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: want to cut you short, bar, but the clock is

293
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna tak us. Your question to me about the oil

294
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: consumption is what? Um, Well, he ordered the rings, he said,

295
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: but there's been a month. This Friday will be a

296
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: month since I've been waiting for any rings. He said

297
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: that that Toyota does have a problem. It gave me

298
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: two quarts of oil, and my thought is because it's

299
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: it's always been low when I've taken in the last

300
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. My my thought is, and he knows

301
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 1: how I feel, I'd like to exchange the car. So

302
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: here's the here, Well, here's the deal. U. Yeah, Toyota

303
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: has a problem. I mean, the only other thing that

304
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: cos oil consumption on raft four is a is a

305
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: PCV valve issue or a PCV a breather system issue.

306
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: But if Toyota is identified it as rings, then I

307
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: can safely assume maybe that they've checked the PCV to

308
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: crank case ventilation system to make sure it's working. That

309
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: being said, I probably hear this story half a dozen

310
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: times a week about people waiting for Toyota's with can't

311
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: get pistons, can't get rings, can't get parts because so

312
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: many of them are on this recoil oil well, not recall,

313
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: but this oil consumption issue that they're having. So from

314
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:40,199
Speaker 1: my seat here, if you can get out of this car,

315
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: because I think this is your question, Should you get

316
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: out of this car? Is at a fair fair? Yeah? Um,

317
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: if you can get out of this car and find

318
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: something comparable that doesn't you know, dent your budget. Now

319
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: is the moment. What bothers me the most about everything

320
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: you said to me is that the car had an

321
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: oil chain sticker on it, that it was serviced, that

322
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 1: about the next sticker was one fifty that hadn't been done,

323
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 1: and the car has one fifty nine I think you said,

324
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 1: or oh it had it had one fifty when I

325
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: bought it and it didn't. It said that the next

326
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: oil change was due, but I didn't know if there

327
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: any change had been made in between that if it

328
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: wasn't reported right, So it sounds to me like this

329
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: might be a good car to get out of. UM.

330
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: One thing going forward, make sure you get you know

331
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: that they're gonna do rings and any as far as

332
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: the exchange, make sure you get it in writing so

333
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 1: that you're not standing there waiting three months from now

334
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they say, what rings,

335
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: We don't know anything about it. Start to put things

336
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,919
Speaker 1: in writing between yourselves and you'll be much better off

337
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: in the long run. Good lucky you, Barbara. Hey, rich

338
00:18:46,840 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: Dwyer Canan is coming up next. Don't go away, ye hey,

339
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 1: welcome back. While eating in the Car Doctor, you know,

340
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: there's an awful lot going on in the automotive world,

341
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 1: and there's companies changing in terms of products, but there

342
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: are companies that are changing product in the sense of

343
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 1: acquiring other companies, and I call it expanding technologies. And

344
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: they're they're they're they're so big and their product is

345
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 1: so good and their processes are so good that they're

346
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 1: going to extend this out to other brands. And we're

347
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: seeing it happen to one of the Car Doctor's favorites,

348
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,639
Speaker 1: cane In, and we thought we would talk with rich Dwire,

349
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: our good friend over at cane In, about what's going

350
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: on over there. And we've got them with us here

351
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 1: this afternoon. Rich Welcome back to the Car Doctor. Sir, Hey,

352
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 1: good afternoon, run. How are you doing I'm doing good man.

353
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's it's a it's a great afternoon

354
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: to be sitting here doing radio talking to everybody. It's

355
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: great here in California. Hot, you know. And I see

356
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: we had a little rain, but we don't have that

357
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: I see on Facebook with that little MG midgety yours

358
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: that that thing little scooches around naturally, I'm sure that

359
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: has a cane in filter. Oh yeah, you bet it does.

360
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: Yes it does, Yes, it does. kN N has been

361
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,280
Speaker 1: busy lately. You guys are acquiring a bunch of different

362
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: companies the past couple of years, and I wanted to

363
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: talk about that because I've gotten some questions about you

364
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: know why, and you know, what's exactly Canan's take on that. So,

365
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: you know, tell me, tell the listeners what advantages this

366
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: canon actually get by purchasing companies with similar products well

367
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: and and acquiring these companies. What we what we're what

368
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 1: we are able to do is we're able to you know,

369
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 1: buy the company, bring it into kN N with the

370
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:43,120
Speaker 1: purchasing power, the advertising, everything that Canan does and does

371
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: very very well, we're able to grow that company's and

372
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: each one of these companies air Raid recently, Specter a

373
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: few years ago, and a e M about six years ago. UM,

374
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: we will bring them in. They all had a very

375
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: loyal following, a very loyal customer base, and so we

376
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: bring them in. And now we're able to invest in

377
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: the companies through our own outlets, so we have more

378
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: outlets for the product. We we build parts very well

379
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: at CA and then we have a very modern facility

380
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: where I think right around a little over six thousand

381
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: square feet under roof right now you have and you're all,

382
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: I s O nine thousand. We're heading that direction. We're

383
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 1: not there yet, but that is what we're doing, and

384
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: that's going to aid these companies also. And you can

385
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: see that because I've taken the virtual tour at the

386
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 1: website dot com and it's it's it's it's like a hospital. Uh,

387
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's really it's it's really really impressive what

388
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: you've got going on. They're very proud of it. We're

389
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: we're very proud of it. And when Google decided to

390
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: do that virtual tour that that was really cool. Good

391
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: way to get the visibility out there so people can

392
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: see what can and really is are you guys after

393
00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,040
Speaker 1: specific technology? Rich other specific technology gains or manufacturing. And

394
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: if it's by buying these other companies with light products,

395
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,520
Speaker 1: well not necessarily uh as relates to manufacturing because as

396
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: you well know, K and N, we design our own machines,

397
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 1: we design our own tooling, and we you know, we

398
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: we very vertically integrated. But what we're able to do

399
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: with these companies, and we've retained a lot of their

400
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 1: engineering personnel and people that were involved in designing the

401
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: products under their previous ownership, we're able to bring them

402
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: in and each one of them had their own way

403
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: of approaching an application on a vehicle or something. And

404
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 1: you can see that, um that K and N in

405
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 1: take kits that we make for let's say a Chevy

406
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: Silverado air raids, their approach was different. A E M

407
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: S is different and specters is different. And by bringing

408
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: in those people, I mean it's it's different eyes looking

409
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: at the same problem and coming up with different solutions.

410
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: Then that really that really adds a out of strength

411
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 1: to your design and engineering groups when you have that.

412
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: So do you think the brands are going to stay

413
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 1: the brands? I mean, Canan is planning to keep those

414
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 1: brands as they are or You're going to integrate them

415
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: everything into the cane in line and make everything one

416
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: oh no, no, no, We're air Raid will always be

417
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 1: air Raid. A M will be a E M, Specter

418
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,159
Speaker 1: will be Specter, and K and N will be K

419
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: and N and they will all retain that logo the

420
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:35,479
Speaker 1: designed so the products will always look have that same

421
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: unique attraction to the consumer that they always did. You know,

422
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 1: we wouldn't want to lose that because that's that's what

423
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: people would expect us to do, because that's happened so

424
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: often in the business. Do you buy your competitor, fold

425
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,800
Speaker 1: your competitor, and then you you hope that they all

426
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: come to you. Now, we want to retain that loyalty

427
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: and we want to grow that loyalty. So you're sort

428
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: of you you're sort of competing with yourselves your right.

429
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: I mean you look at the quality fit, finished, respector

430
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 1: air Raid and a M and it's also good. It's

431
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,959
Speaker 1: you know, this is kind of like playing poker with yourself.

432
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: How do you how do you raise your hand and

433
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: how do you out draw the other guy. It's got

434
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: to make some interesting sales meetings. Um, But you know

435
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 1: what if you think about it when you own those companies,

436
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: does it really doesn't really matter if Ron and any

437
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: and goes out and buys an air Raid product or

438
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 1: or buys a k and In product, or buy a

439
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: Spector product or buys an A E M product, it

440
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,919
Speaker 1: doesn't really matter because it just the money goes in

441
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: a in a different pocket, in the same pair of pants.

442
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: Speak and and so that is by growing that loyalty

443
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: to air Raid, it just brings in revenue to us,

444
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: you know. And and what we can do then is

445
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: we make products like the oil filters and things like that,

446
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: all the different products that we offer. By bringing them

447
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: into the fold and as they interact with us, we

448
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: can in do some the products from our other divisions

449
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: at the same time. You know. It's you know, if

450
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: you if you if we would have bought air Rate

451
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 1: and folded it up and dumped it, you know, where

452
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: would the consumer, you know, where would the consumer go?

453
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 1: He might come to you, he might not, you know.

454
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 1: So by by doing that, we retain that that group,

455
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 1: that pool of customers that are so very loyal. And

456
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 1: I guess and I guess the other perk is if

457
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: if any one of those companies isn't already they are

458
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: now cane in quality level, cane in practical application, cane

459
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: in their their cane in. Theyre fathered by cane in

460
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: so to speak. So it's going to become canean quality design, right,

461
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: and so they will You'll see a better uh, you'll

462
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: see an increase in the consistency of the quality of

463
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: the product. The products will develop quicker because you know,

464
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: Canan's got a lot of power. It's a big company,

465
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: so we can develop product quicker. We can do better advertising,

466
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: we can introduce uh, the different brands in in outlets

467
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: that maybe they weren't in before. Cane in worldwide, I

468
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 1: mean all over the world. So now air raid or

469
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,399
Speaker 1: a e M which might have real strong local market,

470
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 1: but it gets weaker as you go into other areas.

471
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: They may not have been strong in Canada, may not

472
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 1: have been strong in South America. Well now they will

473
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 1: be because they're all part of kN N. Now are

474
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: they are they providing different coverage rich might might somebody

475
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: find an air intake system inspect or air raid that

476
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 1: they may not find it Knean or vice versa. What

477
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: they will find is not necessarily I mean very few

478
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: cases where they will have an application that we don't,

479
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,959
Speaker 1: but they will see the product looking differently. Like if

480
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: you go on k and filters dot com and you

481
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: plug in your vehicle on you know, on that web page,

482
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: what will come up is all the products that can

483
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: in makes for that vehicle, be it air Aid or

484
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: or are other brands. It's going to get more and

485
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: more towards that, and so they'll be able to see

486
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 1: the differences, you know. So they might they might be

487
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: looking for a kid in intake for their kitten, and

488
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: they'll go, wait a second, I really like that that

489
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: air Raid kits a little bit more. But I really

490
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 1: like the designer that heat shield or the it's different

491
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: right exactly exactly. Um, last two questions. Warranty because I

492
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 1: know Knn's got a great warranty. How do the other

493
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,120
Speaker 1: brand warranties compare. Well, Yeah, like you say around boy,

494
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 1: Cann's just got this like platinum card warranty system. Um

495
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:42,120
Speaker 1: the other brands. A E M has a lifetime warranty

496
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:47,680
Speaker 1: on its uh uh intakes and filters air Rate. The

497
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: air filters by themselves, those are guaranteed for life. The

498
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: intakes and all the other products that that air Raid

499
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: offers are for one year from day to purchase. Inspector

500
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: is an inn dy days from day to purchase. This

501
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 1: is the warranty programs that they've always had and were

502
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: retaining that my group, which is warranty. Any problems that

503
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: come up with the product come through us. And as

504
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,440

551
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: talk to you in our next segment here about what

552
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: makes a good repair shop, because it's not something that

553
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: just happened overnight. What do I mean? Hello and welcome,

554
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: by the way, running any of the car Doctor, thanks

555
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: for coming back. Two thousand one. Lexus rolled into a

556
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: repair shop on the other side of town from the

557
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 1: shop this week and it was in for normal service

558
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: that needed maintenance, timing, belt, oil change, couple of their

559
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: odds and ends, And when they got done, the vehicle

560
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 1: stability control light was on and it turns out, long

561
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: story short, that the YR sensor which way the car.

562
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 1: The noses up or down, back is up or down,

563
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 1: yaw okay position, lateral horizontal position. There's a your sensor

564
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: on a two thousand one Lexus LS four thirty for

565
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: stability control, and it went out of calibration. It had

566
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: to be reset. The shop had purchased a snap on

567
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 1: scan tool. Their top of the line scan tool didn't

568
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: do it doesn't have the ability to reset your sensor.

569
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: And in researching it, I found that you could jump

570
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: or two pins in the O B D two connector.

571
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 1: And you know this type of method when you're trying

572
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: to repair something as akin to you know, jumper the wires,

573
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: rub your belly, pat your head, stand on one foot,

574
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 1: hope which way the wind's blown, and maybe the light

575
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: goes out. There's nothing like having a scan tool that

576
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: actually works. The same shop also worked on a two

577
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: thousand eleven out of the week before and they had

578
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,960
Speaker 1: to do an oil light reset and they couldn't do

579
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: it with their snap on either. And I said to

580
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: the owner as we're talking, we're not competitors. We're both

581
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 1: just trying to make a living. Um. You know, you've

582
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: got to get more than one scan tool. And he's

583
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: getting acclimated to this. He realizes this and uh, you know,

584
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: when he brought it to me, I said, I don't know.

585
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure there's eighteen scan tools here. I'm sure there's

586
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:54,760
Speaker 1: something that will work on this. And I actually had

587
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: factory tool dealer level tool for that Lexus Toyota that

588
00:32:58,440 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: I knew would do it, but I was curious to

589
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 1: see what aftermarket tools would do it. Out of all

590
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: the scan tools I had, the Launch tools. You hear

591
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: me talk about Launch, here's another reason to talk about

592
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: Launch again. Um, And this is what I think I

593
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: like about Launched so much is that their stuff just

594
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: flat out works and it was a third the price

595
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: of the snap on and as a professional tool to

596
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 1: launch X four thirty one and the Pad two, they

597
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: have another one out the pad to their Android based system. Um,

598
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: they work. And I guess the point of this is

599
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: short little segment, is that a repair shop is only

600
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: as good as their scan tool today. And one of

601
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 1: the questions I want you to ask your next mechanic

602
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 1: when you're interviewing them, what kind of scan tool do

603
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: you have? And also how many scan tools do you

604
00:33:40,760 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: have and what's its capability? Because if they can't talk

605
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: to your car and deal with it on an electronic level.

606
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,840
Speaker 1: They really can't service it. Somewhere along the way, there's

607
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:50,719
Speaker 1: gonna be a bump in the road, just thinking out

608
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: loud A five zero nine zero zero. By the way,

609
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: more information at launched take usa dot com. I'm sorry

610
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:15,680

00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,359
Speaker 1: Let's go over and talk to Bernie in Maine two

614
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: thousand two, DODGS, Dakota. That cuts out, Bernie, how can

615
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: I help you? Hey? Hi, Well, I get a question

616
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: keeping a junket. Um, that's the character I think we

617
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: talked a. Uh. If the air condition is on, you

618
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 1: turn on the headlights, the wipe is going. UM. If

619
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: you shut off the lights, uh, and the airs turned off,

620
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: the wipers don't go on. Uh. I got all kinds

621
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: of problems that goes around all right here and turn

622
00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 1: it dies. Well, let's fix Let's let's fix that first, Bernie. Um.

623
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: Because the headlights switch I've seen before. I've seen issues

624
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: with negative battery cables both at the block and the

625
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: battery when they're dirty. The headlights switch makes the electrical

626
00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: system do some funny things, and it might be a

627
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: problem with the headlights switch itself. But let's talk about

628
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 1: the dying on right hand turn problem first. When it

629
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: when it? Is it only on right hand turns? Or

630
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: is it when you turn the wheel to the right. Uh?

631
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: You know that's it's not happening all the time. That's

632
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: the problem. It's very intimate and spitting out, spitting out

633
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: an spitting out any fault codes, no codes whatsoever. The

634
00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 1: pressure field pressure is normal? Okay? When it when it?

635
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:51,280
Speaker 1: When it dies, does it restart right away? Right away?

636
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: Ask your mechanic to take a look at and consider

637
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: problems with the crank position sensor. If he taps on it,

638
00:35:58,239 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: does it die? Can you get it to cut out

639
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: that way? And possibly maybe we could wire in a

640
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: one bulb to the injectors and take a look at

641
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 1: the injectors that they're being pulsed properly. Conversation for another day.

642
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Bernie, the clock is gonna grab me. I'm

643
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: run any of the car. Doctor. The mechanics aren't expensive,

644
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: they're priceless.
