We've been talking a lot, you and 17 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: I about repairs, expensive repairs, and how repairs get done. 18 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 2: A couple of shows ago. That's sixteen thousand dollars Transmission Story, 19 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 2: which is a real story that really happened. That's from 20 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 2: the Bays. That's from the shop. This is the story 21 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 2: that just won't go away. It's the darnedest thing. Now 22 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: I've got a backtrack for a second. Okay, a lot 23 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 2: of you ask I bump into you from time to time, 24 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: people that know me, people that don't know me, that 25 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 2: figure out who I am, and they say, you know, 26 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 2: what's it like prepping to do the show? And I, 27 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 2: you know, how many hours a week does it take 28 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 2: you to do the show? And I, you know, I 29 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: used to say literally nothing because it really is literally nothing. 30 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: And then I realized, I'm prepping to do the show 31 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: five days a week, twelve hours a day. Because I 32 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 2: do this right, We're turning wrenches every day, so you know, 33 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 2: prep time becomes I don't know, sixty hours to produce too, 34 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: which is which is a pretty bad ratio. But you know, 35 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 2: we chuckle along the way. We laugh a lot. Danny says, 36 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: you know, when and if I ever retire or fall over. 37 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: He doesn't know what he's going to do, because he said, 38 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: being a greeter at Walmart's going to be boring compared 39 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 2: to what he does. Now. It's just, uh, it's it's 40 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 2: it's just a crazy job. But you know, the stories 41 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: are real, the things really happen. You know, I prep 42 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,239 Speaker 2: to do the show different ways, and I want to 43 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,959 Speaker 2: tell you about today, okay, because you and I are close. 44 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 2: We get together like this every week and it's important 45 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: to me to be here with you. So today I 46 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 2: had to go get my eyeglasses my frames repaired. And 47 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: it's down in East broth Of for New Jersey, and 48 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 2: it just consequently happens to be across the street, well 49 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: sort of across the street from the meadow Lands, you know, 50 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 2: Giant Stadium, whatever you want to call it, New York 51 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 2: New Jersey Stadium, the place where they're going to hold 52 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: the World Cup tonight here in the New York City area. 53 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: So there's there's all kinds of pandemonium going on. There's 54 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 2: every other car is a black limousine. There's there's you know, ambulances, 55 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: there's police, there's trap, there's bumper to bumper, There's all 56 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 2: kinds of things going on. I'm just trying to navigate 57 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 2: through it and get to where I gotta go. But 58 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: the one reason, the other reason I like to go 59 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: to East Rutherford now is right next to just past 60 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 2: where I turn off for the eye doctor. And this 61 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 2: is how my day really started. It's really just you 62 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,440 Speaker 2: gotta be me. You gotta chuckle at this. I decided 63 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go see my billboard. There's a billboard of 64 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,679 Speaker 2: me up down there in Route seventeen south and East 65 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 2: r Rutherford Lenhurst, right next to the quality Ford Dealer 66 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 2: in the Luke Oil gas station, across the street from 67 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: the Burger King. So I make the U turn to 68 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: come around the back of the Burger King, and I'm 69 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 2: sitting at the traffic light and yep, bang, there it 70 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 2: is digital billboard up. I pop. It's kind of surreal 71 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: and it sort of makes you giggle if you're paying 72 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 2: attention to see yourself up on a billboard. I still 73 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 2: can't believe. I can't believe I really do radio, but 74 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: you know I do. I have to tell you. I 75 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: was telling Tom before the show today. It took every 76 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: ounce of my willpower because I was sitting next to somebody. 77 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: I was on the right, he was on the left, 78 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,400 Speaker 2: and he's looking up and you can't help but see 79 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: the billboard. You'd have to be driving with your eyes 80 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: closed not to see it. And there's my kisser right 81 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 2: four feet high, just staring down at you. It took 82 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 2: every bit of willpower not to roll down the window 83 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: with a suburban and say, pardon me, do you have 84 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: any gray poupon? You know, I just it was that moment, 85 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: and you don't get those moments in life, and it 86 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: just it made me giggle, and I think you got 87 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 2: to giggle a little bit, especially when you fixed car 88 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 2: sixty hours a week. So you know, I got my 89 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 2: eyeglasses and I came back and I didn't roll down 90 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 2: the window. I didn't want to scare the guy. With 91 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: my luck, I would have scared the guy. He would 92 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: have stepped on the gas hit the car in front 93 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: of him, and I would have caused an accident. And 94 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 2: I could see that happening too, because strange things like 95 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 2: that have happened also. And I didn't think anything about 96 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: the celebrity for the moment. I figured, well, you know, 97 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,200 Speaker 2: this is just this is just a normal part of life, 98 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 2: you know. For me, I get recognized and it's okay, 99 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 2: and I'm happy. I shake your hand, you know, I 100 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: kissed the babies. I tell you stories and whatever you 101 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: want to do. I answer car questions usually. So I 102 00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: came home and I decided that before we do the 103 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: show today. I was going to take blackout for a ride, 104 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 2: you know, take the fifty five Chevy out for a ride. 105 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 2: Why not. It's a beautiful day here in New Jersey. 106 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: We had those crazy thunderstorms last night, and I looked 107 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: at my watch and I said, well, it's quarter to twelve. 108 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 2: I got two hours to show time, you know, because 109 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 2: we're live Saturdays two to four eastern. Ah, you know 110 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 2: what the heck. I grabbed the missus and we jumped 111 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 2: in the car and we ran down to the deli 112 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 2: and you know, got a couple of sandwiches and drove 113 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: over to this quiet little park in White Coough, New 114 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 2: Jersey and had lunch. Well, I forgot what an attraction 115 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: of black fifty five Chevy can be because when we 116 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 2: came out, there was a couple of people standing around 117 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 2: it looking at the car, you know, and I just, 118 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 2: I don't know. To me, it's just an old car. 119 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 2: I just I parked at windows down. I left it unlocked, 120 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: like it was sort of a nice sight. But I 121 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 2: wasn't really worried about it. And you know, here I 122 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 2: am prepping for the show in my head, and you 123 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 2: have your doubts, you know, doing it for this long? 124 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: Have you been on the stage too long? And you know, 125 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 2: somebody once said in show business and you never want 126 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: to stay on long. You want to leave people looking 127 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 2: for more. And I know I tell you guys these 128 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: stories about car doctor sightings, and you know, my wife 129 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,720 Speaker 2: has never experienced it. And I'm talking to this one 130 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 2: older gentleman and he's looking at me and he's listening 131 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 2: to me. He's asking me about the car and how 132 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 2: do you tell the difference between a fifty five Chevy 133 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: bel Air? What model is this? Two ten? The chrome 134 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,479 Speaker 2: where it goes? And then finally he looks at me 135 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 2: and he goes, I know who you are. You know 136 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,440 Speaker 2: that moment when they caught you doing something in school 137 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 2: and the principal came up and said Ananian and your 138 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,839 Speaker 2: stomach sinks. Yeah, it's sort of like that. You're like, 139 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:40,040 Speaker 2: uh oh. He says, I know who you are. And 140 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 2: he turns to his wife in the car and do 141 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 2: you know who this is? And it wasn't the name recognition, 142 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 2: he got it. He heard the voice, he said, he said, 143 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 2: there's only one person this can be black fifty five 144 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 2: Chevy New Jersey. The voice, the way you explain things 145 00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 2: and this is the important part, he said, you can retire. 146 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 2: He said, one of the things we love about you 147 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 2: is the way you explain things. And he said, you 148 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 2: take it from up here, he's holding his hand way 149 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 2: above his head, and you bring it down to eye level. 150 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: I never really thought about it like that, he brought up. 151 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: He said, you know, a couple of weeks ago, you 152 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: were talking about the sixteen thousand dollars transmission, and here's 153 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: your tie in right, here's the tie in back, like 154 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: this transmission story just won't go away. This was the 155 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 2: story about the person who went to the dealership. It 156 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 2: was a sixteen thousand dollars transmission and they didn't want 157 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: to do that, and they went to another dealer and 158 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 2: it was an eight thousand dollars transmission. It was that 159 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 2: twenty twenty one Chevy Tahoe that had one hundred thousand 160 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: miles on and it was puke in the trans and 161 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,360 Speaker 2: we went through it, and you know, is it worth fixing? 162 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: Should I buy another one? And as I said to him, 163 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 2: as I, and this is what the gentleman. I forgot 164 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: to get his name. I'm embarrassed. I was so overwhelmed. 165 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,400 Speaker 2: I forgot to find out his first name. So when 166 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: he hears this, hey dude in the park, that was 167 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: really nice to meet you. The day. I had a 168 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: good time, you know. He said. The way you you know, 169 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: keep it real. He says, you keep it simple. He said, 170 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 2: you make me want to maintain my car. You know. 171 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 2: He said, I just got rid of my eight camera 172 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: with two hundred and fifteen thousand miles. And I looked 173 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: at him and he said, yep, just broken in. So 174 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 2: he knows the language. He knows what I'm going to say. Uh, 175 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: you know, and we shook hands and he said, you know, 176 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 2: that sixteen thousand dollars transmission story really hit home because 177 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 2: you're either going to have car repair bills or payments. 178 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: And he said, it's the truth. He said, I only 179 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: got rid of my camera because it was hard getting 180 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 2: in and out of He's got a problem with one 181 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 2: of his legs. But you know what the best part 182 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 2: about this morning was prepping for the show. You know 183 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,599 Speaker 2: what the absolute best part was. And I appreciate the 184 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,960 Speaker 2: luxury you're giving me of telling you this story. I 185 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 2: got to open the door to the hot rod sit 186 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: in because my wife was sitting in the car. Let's 187 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 2: listening to it from right, and she just looked at 188 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 2: me and she said, now, this is after forty three 189 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: years of being married forty four I forget. She just 190 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 2: looked at me and said, you know, now I understand 191 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 2: what you're talking about. A car doctor's sighting and there 192 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 2: it is slightly It just you just I'm telling you, 193 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,680 Speaker 2: it's you got to be me.

The sixteen thousand 196 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 2: dollars transmission. It's fixing a whole lot more than just 197 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 2: a car. Eight five five five six nine nine zero zero. 198 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 2: I'm running any in the car doctor. I'll be back 199 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 2: right after this. Hey, let's go to Let's go to Nebraska. 200 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 2: Let's go close to Terry. Terry, what's going on? 201 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 3: Hey, good afternoon, Ron. How are you doing today, sir? 202 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: I am doing great, sir. How can I help you? 203 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 3: My wife and I have a twenty twenty one Toyota 204 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 3: Highlander and it's if I remember correctly, it has a 205 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 3: three point five V six. It doesn't have hardly any 206 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 3: miles on it, like maybe eighteen thousand miles. We don't obviously, 207 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 3: we don't drive it hardly at all. Right, Anyway, I 208 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 3: read in a lot of the forums that these vehicles 209 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 3: have transmission issues, and we haven't had any issues yet, 210 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 3: probably just because of the low miles and stuff. But 211 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 3: I don't know, how would you handle a vehicle like this. 212 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 3: Would you keep it and just see what happens, or 213 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 3: would you trade it off or I'm kind of just 214 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 3: wondering what you would think on it? Do you like? 215 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 2: So this is a V six normally aspirated, meaning there's 216 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 2: no turbo charger on this engine. 217 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,319 Speaker 3: That's right, And that's that's why I wanted to get 218 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 3: one before and this before. 219 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: They Yeah, this just makes it so attractive. I'm waiting 220 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 2: for the day when the automobile industry wakes up and 221 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 2: at least offers some models non turbo charge. You know, 222 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 2: I just don't see that. I just don't see the value. 223 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,559 Speaker 2: I look at the cost. It's great for the first 224 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 2: hundred thousand miles if the engine in any manufacturer's vehicle, 225 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 2: and the engine makes it that far. But you know, 226 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 2: now you've added another very costly component to fail somewhere 227 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 2: above one hundred thousand miles. Typical life span when it's 228 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,839 Speaker 2: not under warranty and all of a sudden, now you 229 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 2: need a five thousand dollar repair, eight thousand dollars repair. 230 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 2: And you know, so that that Toyota that's eight years old, 231 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: nine years old, with one hundred thousand miles on it. 232 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: Now the turbo charger fails in the buck thirty range 233 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty thousand mile range. Now what do 234 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 2: you do? Gee? Do I get rid of the car? 235 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 2: You know, it's like having a transmission failure, And back 236 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,199 Speaker 2: to your point, transmissions today. You know that's an eight 237 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 2: speed trans That trans is ten grand to replace all 238 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 2: day long. And you know there's enough expensive things on 239 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 2: a car to break. So back to your question, do 240 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,839 Speaker 2: I think that car is worth keeping? Yeah? Just because 241 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 2: right now you can't buy another non turbo V six Highlander, 242 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 2: right they don't. They don't make that. They don't make 243 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: that car. 244 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 3: Anymore, or hybrid. 245 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 2: I will. 246 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 3: When I was looking for it, we bought it, I 247 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: don't know, two or three years ago anyway, when I 248 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 3: was looking for and I was trying to find a hybrid, 249 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 3: but you know, new ones were high and I just 250 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 3: couldn't find a used one. But that's probably what I 251 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 3: should have did I don't know. 252 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 2: Well, and then you know the other thing to consider. 253 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 2: And I've never gotten a great answer from anybody on this, 254 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: but I know the condition exists. So you buy a hybrid, 255 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 2: what are you driving terry three thousand miles a year, 256 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 2: give or right? So I always we. 257 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 3: Use on trips and we don't go very we don't 258 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 3: go very often. 259 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: And I often wonder about the car that's going three 260 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 2: thousand miles a year, that gasoline that's sitting in the 261 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 2: tank of the hybrid that's not really getting used because 262 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 2: you're running off the vehicle battery so much. Yeah, you 263 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 2: know that that low used hybrid or that low poor 264 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 2: you know, low mileage used hybrid. Let me get my 265 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 2: English correct. Mister Stirling Woods would would give me a smack. 266 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: You know, you just you just wonder. So I think 267 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 2: in your case, the gas engine is sturdier. I think 268 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: it's more durable. I think it's a it's a it's 269 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:22,120 Speaker 2: a tried and true, proven product. And you know, so 270 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,040 Speaker 2: start putting money away. Put one hundred bucks a month away, 271 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 2: put five hundred bucks a month away, save eight grant. 272 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 2: If the trans does give you problems in Toyota doesn't 273 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 2: do anything for you, then you know, put a trans 274 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 2: in it, but anything else, you know, you sell that, 275 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 2: you buy anything else, then what's what problem is the 276 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: next one going to have? Because once you get passed, 277 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 2: once you get past the transmission on that car, that 278 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 2: thing's a brick. It generally shouldn't break. They're pretty solid. 279 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 2: So and you know that's not to say if the 280 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 2: car ever gets to thirty thousand miles in the next 281 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 2: five years and all of a sudden the trans starts 282 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,960 Speaker 2: to wind, you can't go to Toyota and see if 283 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 2: Toyota will do something for you, because I will say this, 284 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: They've made their mistakes along the way. Toyota is one 285 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 2: of the better car companies for taking care of their customers. 286 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 2: They really are. And I'm not saying it. I'm not 287 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 2: saying it works great for everybody, but they have they 288 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 2: have better customer care in my experience than most write 289 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 2: this bulletin number down Terry triple zero eight, Dish triple 290 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 2: zero eight, DISH twenty one. It's dated February of twenty 291 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 2: twenty one, and it talks about a whining or a 292 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 2: grinding noise from that transmission. Now it gives a vehicle 293 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 2: date range and a plant assembly number and production number, 294 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: and when was it made and what day of the 295 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 2: week and what the guy have for lunch and all 296 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 2: those other important details. But you know, if Toyota ever 297 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: says to you, well, you know, we have no problems, Yeah, 298 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 2: then I can even came with this bulletin. 299 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 4: Yea. 300 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: You know, as I always say, for a car company 301 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 2: to print a bulletin, it's it's not a casual thing, right, 302 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 2: It's it's not like honey right down your recipe for meatloaf. 303 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 2: It becomes you know, it has to go through technical, 304 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 2: it has to go through copywriting, it has to go 305 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 2: through legal, it has to get some sort of administrative approval. 306 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 2: And they put out an awful lot of bulletins, and 307 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 2: they don't have time to waste on writing you know, 308 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 2: minor ones, so to speak. So that that bulletin legitimizes 309 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 2: as all bulletins. In my mind, that if you suffer 310 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: that experience at a reasonably low mileage, that bulletin legitimizes 311 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: your concern and your complaint. And you're going to find 312 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 2: out what they're made of, you know, you're going to 313 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,560 Speaker 2: find out what Toyota, what kind of car company they 314 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 2: are and how much do they care about their customer. 315 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 2: One of the things I've learned being in business and 316 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 2: getting to this age on the planet is if you 317 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 2: wait and watch and you stick around long enough, people 318 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 2: and companies will show you who they are. And you know, 319 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: will they will they hide behind that well you're out 320 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: a warranty, or will they will they come into ge 321 00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 2: You've only got thirty thousand miles on it, and that 322 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 2: problem was an known defect when we put the car 323 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 2: out there. You know, let's do something for the guy. 324 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,360 Speaker 2: Let's do a let's do a fifty to fifty split, 325 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 2: let's let's let's warranty the whole thing. Let's pay for 326 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 2: the part and he'll pay for the labor. Something anything, 327 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: you know. It turns people's heads, and that's what that's 328 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 2: you know, Yeah, go ahead. 329 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, No, that's okay. But so, would you recommend 330 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 3: servicing the transmission sooner? And would you recommend just dropping 331 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 3: the pan and putting a new filter in and replacing 332 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 3: the fluid, or would you recommend a flush or so 333 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 3: how would you how would you handle that? 334 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 2: At this point? Does the transmission make noise. No, so 335 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 2: there's no wine. Okay, so there's no wine. So I 336 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 2: would I would, I would just do a fluid change. 337 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why I would do a fluid change. 338 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 2: But I would capture the fluid and I would strain 339 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: it through a paint funnel, all right, so you know, 340 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 2: just you know, save it. Get get a five court pail, 341 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 2: get a big pail, you know, have them drain it 342 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 2: out and then have them run it through the paint funnel. 343 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: And then look in the funnel. Do we see any metallic? 344 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 2: You're gonna probably see some clutch material and you'll see 345 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 2: some debris and stuff, But is there anything there magnetic? 346 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 2: If we're starting to get if we're starting to get 347 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 2: metal shavings out of the trans fluid, yeah, maybe something's 348 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 2: coming apart and it just hasn't reached the point of 349 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 2: noise yet. And I don't know, I don't know if 350 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: they'll do it. But I wonder if an engine oil lab, 351 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 2: and I've thought about this for a while, if one 352 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 2: of these companies that you know analyzes engine oil would 353 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 2: analyze transmission fluid and tell you what's in there and 354 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,120 Speaker 2: tell you what it's made of. Well, you got ten 355 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 2: percent clutch material and ninety percent metal shavings. Eh, so 356 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 2: things to do, Terry. I appreciate the call. You'd be 357 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 2: safe out in Nebraskaway. I'm running any in the car. Doctor, 358 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 2: I'll be back right after this. 359 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 4: The other keep you on right, Yeah, he's a shot Doctor. 360 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:17,920 Speaker 2: Where's that CD? 361 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:18,159 Speaker 5: You know? 362 00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 2: I understand they're releasing a CD now and they're trying 363 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 2: to struck a deal with a major label. Is that true, Tom, 364 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 2: that we're going to lose the band. They're going to 365 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:28,119 Speaker 2: go on to No, No, No. 366 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 3: The band's staying. 367 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: They're just trying to make extra money because you know 368 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 1: you don't pay him enough. 369 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 2: Well, they're not They're not that good. So let's not 370 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 2: get let's not get out of hand. Let's go up 371 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 2: to Micah. Let's go see what's going on with Micah 372 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 2: and Maine. Micah, how are you today? 373 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 3: Doing okay? 374 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,119 Speaker 5: I hope you're doing well too. Always great to hear 375 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 5: you on the air. 376 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 2: Absolutely great, kiddo. What's what's going on up in Maine 377 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: this glorious day? 378 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 5: Well, I've got a twenty fifteen super Legacy and you 379 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,719 Speaker 5: know the headlamp assemblies, they're all covered in that plast 380 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 5: they can. They get fogged up after a while, and 381 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 5: I've had them cleaned many times, but after ten years 382 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 5: it's fogged up on the inside and there's nothing you 383 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 5: can do about the inside except replace them. Well, good 384 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 5: news and bad news. I got a paint failure on 385 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 5: my bumper. The place that did it is going to 386 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 5: take the bumper off and fix the paint. But while 387 00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 5: it's off, that's the only way to replace the head 388 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,959 Speaker 5: lamp assemblies. You got to take the front bumper off. 389 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 5: It's an expensive project. So I'm going to buy the 390 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 5: headlamp assemblies, and I got a good deal on them. 391 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 5: But I'm wondering what I can do to keep them 392 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 5: from fogging Not on the outside. I can clean that, 393 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 5: but keep the inside from fogging up so I don't 394 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,679 Speaker 5: have to replace them again in five years. 395 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 2: When you say fogging up, you don't mean moisture. 396 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 5: I mean the UV fog that happens to the plastic 397 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 5: from the sun. 398 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing I'm aware of, and I've never tried it, 399 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 2: but I'm curious. There are some sprays out there that 400 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 2: help protect against UV, and I wonder what would happen 401 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 2: if you took the bulb assembly up. But then I 402 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 2: wonder if the refractor the way it bends the light 403 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 2: is in the way the shielding, you know, Micah, That 404 00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 2: makes me think about an invention. Right, we could pour 405 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 2: some on the inside of the headlamp housing, roll it 406 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 2: around until it covers the inside face, and then spray 407 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,959 Speaker 2: the outside. I will tell you this that when we 408 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 2: clean headlights in the shop now, we use a buffer 409 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: and a polisher, and you know there's various kids out 410 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 2: there that we're using. We will put ceramic coating. There's 411 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 2: a liquid ceramic coating. We get it, we kind of 412 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 2: squeegee it on and that ceramic coating tends to prevent 413 00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: any UV damage from coming back because we'll actually sand 414 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 2: that that haze right out of the plastic. But inside 415 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,200 Speaker 2: there's nothing you can do because you've got to take 416 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: it apart and you can't do that. 417 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 5: And I've had that done before. You know, my dealership 418 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 5: has done it for me a few times where I've 419 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 5: had it, you know, buffed off and cleaned up. But 420 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 5: the good news is it being that I'm having the 421 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 5: bumper repainted, I'm gonna have to get the whole car 422 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 5: ceramic coated again, which I do, and I'll talk to 423 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,080 Speaker 5: my guy and see if he can ceramic coat those 424 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 5: those those headlamp assemblies on the outside anyway, and if 425 00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,679 Speaker 5: that prevents the UV, if it prevents it from penetrating, 426 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 5: then we're good. 427 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's for whatever reason, that seems to work. 428 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 2: And you think about it, right, They sell that ceramic 429 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 2: coding that it will prevent u V damage to the paints, 430 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: and it seems to work there. We put it on 431 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 2: the plastic and it seems to work too. Now before 432 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 2: I let you go real quick, you're going to buy 433 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 2: your headlamps from Subaru, right? 434 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 5: Oh? Absolutely? And in fact, this is one of the 435 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 5: few times I've been disappointed with my dealership because I 436 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 5: went to the parts department and I went to order 437 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 5: the headlamps and they said they're four hundred and sixty 438 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,919 Speaker 5: nine dollars each, which I could sort of understand. But 439 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 5: my my body shop and order the OEM ones and 440 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 5: they're able to get them at a discount, and that's 441 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 5: all they're going to charge me is a two hundred 442 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 5: and eighty two dollars apiece. That's a two hundred dollars 443 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 5: a piece different. Yeah, that's that's that's my dealership would 444 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 5: do that. 445 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 2: So the only the only question I would have is, 446 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 2: you know, let's assume both part numbers are the same. 447 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 2: And I don't want to I don't want to pick 448 00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,159 Speaker 2: on anyone body shop, parts house dealership or anything. But 449 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 2: what I've discovered is some places both body shop dealership 450 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: and dependent shop, et cetera, will inflate list. I've seen 451 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 2: this more than a few times in my career, where 452 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 2: they'll you know that that four hundred dollars part is 453 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 2: now four hundred and fifty dollars, but we're going to 454 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 2: give you twenty percent off list, so we're really giving 455 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 2: you ten percent off list. So they're cutting down the 456 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 2: actual discount based on a generated list price. And that's 457 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 2: a whole nother you know, that's a whole nother conversation. 458 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,919 Speaker 5: No, it really surprised me because I shopped around online 459 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,199 Speaker 5: and I'm only ill only buy the OEM parts for 460 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 5: this because they just don't mount them quite the same 461 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 5: all the time. If you get something after market and 462 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 5: the OEM online is between two hundred and fifty and 463 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 5: three hundred dollars, and that's what and my my body 464 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 5: shop is able to get them from the dealership for 465 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 5: this two hundred and eighty two dollars. And I know 466 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 5: that that's fine. But when I buy from the dealership, 467 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 5: they're charging me four hundred and sixty nine dollars. 468 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 2: You know, maybe it's time to call them out on that, Micah. 469 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 2: You know, listen that and what they say, why are 470 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 2: you guys so much? When you asked them, why are 471 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 2: you guys so much more? Would they say? 472 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 5: They said, Well, you know a lot of those places 473 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 5: online and buying a bucket sell it wholesale. You know, 474 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 5: they're not making They're making money on the shipping, and 475 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 5: I'm looking at the shipping. They're not making money on 476 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 5: the shipping. You know, it's a fair shipping price. I 477 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 5: don't quite get it. 478 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't. Well, listen, you know, every 479 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,719 Speaker 2: once in a while, the universe seems to line up 480 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 2: for me. Right. I started this week's show talking about 481 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 2: how if you wait around long enough and watch long enough, 482 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 2: people will show you and companies will show you who 483 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 2: and what they are. Here's here's the perfect example. 484 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:32,280 Speaker 5: You know. 485 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 2: Now, I'm also going to stand up for the dealership. 486 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 2: The dealership's entitled to make money, and I know you 487 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 2: know this, right, I know you get one hundred percent. 488 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 2: You agree with this. It's just it's just why is 489 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 2: there such a discrepancy If it were me and you 490 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 2: can and I was the parts manager, Gee, why is 491 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 2: why are we charging four and sixty nine dollars on 492 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 2: a part that he can buy online for three hundred? 493 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 5: You know? 494 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 2: Are they are they really discounting it? Because it's trust me, 495 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 2: their discount isn't that huge. It's it's not a fifty 496 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 2: percent discount. It just isn't They wouldn't exist, So, you know, 497 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 2: is it a a is it a gray market part? 498 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 2: Is it an aftermarket part? Somehow? Looking like a super rupiece? 499 00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,400 Speaker 2: You start to wonder, and I don't. 500 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,200 Speaker 5: Again, it doesn't make sense because I was going to 501 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 5: have the dealership change this out, but it was going 502 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 5: to be fourteen hundred dollars to do it. I get 503 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 5: that they got to take the bumper off, right, And 504 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 5: I'm not complaining about the price. That's fine, But fourteen 505 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,479 Speaker 5: hundred dollars for a full day of labor and the 506 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 5: parts make sense. But they're not paying four hundred and 507 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 5: sixty nine dollars for the headlamps if they're doing it 508 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 5: for fourteen hundred dollars. So it doesn't make that doesn't 509 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 5: make sense. 510 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 2: What I would tell you to do is take that 511 00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 2: part number and go try and go online and just 512 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 2: you know, there will be places that show you manufacturers list. 513 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,400 Speaker 2: They'll say manufacturers list for sixty nine, your price three 514 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 2: eighty eight to eighty eight whatever. I want to see 515 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 2: somebody online telling me what they what is manufacturer's list, 516 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 2: And if you find it substantially different, you know, maybe 517 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 2: it's a conversation to go have with your salesman. Look, Micah, 518 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 2: I like you guys buy all my cars here. I'm 519 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 2: just trying to understand. Did somebody in parts make a mistake? 520 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 2: Is something wrong with your bookkeeping? Is this cock ey'd? Look, Michael, 521 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 2: I'll end the story here. I've got a parts house 522 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 2: I deal with, and we're buying what were we buying 523 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 2: the other day? Oh it sounds it sounds really stupid. 524 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 2: Carpet shampoo and a can. You know it's a can 525 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,439 Speaker 2: of turtle wax car shampoo with the scrub brush on 526 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 2: the end. It's supposed to sell for eighteen dollars. They 527 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,399 Speaker 2: had them online for two dollars and forty nine cents. 528 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 2: Danny and I looked at each other and we said, 529 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 2: that can't be right. We actually called them up and said, hey, 530 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 2: somebody plugged in the wrong number. No, we're trying to 531 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 2: get rid of old inventory. Really like, why, well, we're 532 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 2: not sure that came down from corporate. So what the heck? 533 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 2: We bought twenty cans. We now have a lifetime supply, 534 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 2: you know, for one hundred bucks. I've got five hundred 535 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 2: dollars worth of carpet cleaner that I'll use on every 536 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 2: car I own from now until the day I don't 537 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 2: need to clean cars anymore, if you get my point. So, 538 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 2: sometimes big businesses make mistakes in the way they they 539 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 2: index parts or they record parts, and they're pricing. I 540 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 2: find it hard to believe they're going to blow you off. 541 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 2: And if they do blow you off, just because I 542 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,879 Speaker 2: know how much you've done with them, they're showing you 543 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,879 Speaker 2: who they are. They're showing you what's coming, you know, 544 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 2: and maybe it's time to go look at another dealership. 545 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,439 Speaker 2: And that's really what it's all about. But I bet 546 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,479 Speaker 2: you you're going to find that that isn't a factory 547 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 2: superroup part. I'll tell you what, Micah, keep us in mind. 548 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 2: Let us know what part you actually get and whether 549 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 2: it's real super or not. 550 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 5: All right, Oh no, I absolutely positively know this is 551 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,800 Speaker 5: a factory super group part that I'm getting interesting. 552 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:35,959 Speaker 2: Interesting. 553 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,400 Speaker 5: Let us know. I know that because I know the 554 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 5: owner of the shop. Actually it's a chain of shops. 555 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 5: I know the owner of the chain. I know the 556 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 5: people that I work with. They're absolutely factory super, they 557 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 5: said told me. When I asked them about it. I said, look, 558 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,679 Speaker 5: if you got an aftermarket part that you think is 559 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 5: as good, I'll do it. They said, absolutely not something 560 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 5: like this. We're only going to use factory. 561 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 2: Telling me you want your old headlamps in the in 562 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 2: the box they come in, yep, and then you'll have 563 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 2: something to reference. And hey, make out, Mike, I gotta go. 564 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 2: I'm up against the clock. 565 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 5: All right, Kitto, Thanks a lot, very. 566 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,320 Speaker 2: Welcome you too. I'm running any in the card doctor. 567 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:21,120 Speaker 2: We're back right after this. Hey, welcome back A five, five, five, 568 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 2: six zero nine nine zero zero run an Eennie in 569 00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,760 Speaker 2: the car doctor. If you're out there podcasting us, we 570 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 2: appreciate that podcast numbers continue to grow, and you've been 571 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,119 Speaker 2: part of our journey and we can We're happy to 572 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 2: be here for you, and we continue to appreciate everything 573 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 2: you guys are doing for us, the downloads and the mentions. 574 00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 2: And we were a little late this week. I will 575 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,160 Speaker 2: admit it on our Instagram Facebook post, but to tell 576 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 2: you the truth, were so darn busy in the shop 577 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 2: we didn't have time. I think we got up one 578 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 2: or two maybe this week, but we'll do more again 579 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,560 Speaker 2: next week. So keep watching our social media. I'll do 580 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 2: some mail. This one comes to us from Karen down 581 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 2: in Tennessee. Ron, I have a twenty twenty four Mazda, 582 00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 2: though like you cannot tell that from the subject line. 583 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 2: I like somebody that's honest. The past couple of mornings, 584 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 2: it seems a little hard to start. I live in 585 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,199 Speaker 2: Tennessee and it's been very hard hot here in the 586 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 2: past couple of days. I'm going to have the battery 587 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 2: check today. My question is do the newer cars use 588 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: battery life while parked, meaning like your cell phone is 589 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 2: always looking for a tower. I know extreme cold can 590 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 2: drain the battery, but what about extreme heat? Does it 591 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,159 Speaker 2: have the same effect. Thanks for taking the time to 592 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 2: read and respond to my questions. Karen down there in Tennessee. 593 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 2: You know, Karen, we actually replace more batteries, and more 594 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 2: batteries fail as a result of heat than they do 595 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,159 Speaker 2: as a result of cold. I know that's hard to believe, 596 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: but heat has a greater damaging effect on vehicle batteries, 597 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:40,480 Speaker 2: and we're finding that some batteries, depending upon the vehicle, 598 00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 2: depending upon how that vehicle is used three years, We've seen, 599 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 2: you know, some batteries fail in as little as three years, 600 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 2: So you know, yeah, it's very possible. Now let me 601 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:55,440 Speaker 2: tell you a battery story. So we recently had a 602 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,080 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen jeep in the shop that had a three 603 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:03,800 Speaker 2: year old battery that just flat out failed after three years. 604 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:07,440 Speaker 2: And you've got to watch how you test them, which 605 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 2: is the point of this story. We use we test 606 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 2: both ways. We use what we call an algorithm tester, 607 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 2: which is the little handheld tester that they clipped the cables, 608 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 2: clip the clamps to the battery and they tell you 609 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 2: how many cold cranking amps. They tell you how many 610 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 2: push ups it can do when it's cold in the morning, 611 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 2: and you know it has to pass that based on 612 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 2: a mathematical calculation of what the voltage loss is during 613 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 2: that very light. I believe it's a two amp load 614 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 2: that it applies. If it's that on some of these batteries. 615 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 2: This twenty nineteen jeep battery passed with flying collars. But 616 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 2: something about it made me suspicious because I could sit 617 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:47,240 Speaker 2: there and watch battery voltage not quite hit twelve point four. 618 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 2: It was around twelve to two, twelve one twelve two. 619 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 2: I saw twelve. Something's not right here. Battery had a 620 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 2: full charge in it. Threw it on a carbon pile tester. 621 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 2: A carbon pile tester is a much higher amperage load 622 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 2: placed on the battery. Think of it as we were 623 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 2: trying to turn the headlights on for ten seconds to 624 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,880 Speaker 2: see if the battery would hold its voltage, to see 625 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 2: if water pressure in the line could maintain while you've 626 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 2: got the faucet open. And sure enough, that battery dropped 627 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 2: like a stone. It dropped like a stone to the 628 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 2: point of failure. Clear cut. Put a new battery in 629 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,520 Speaker 2: that jeep with the three year old battery, and the 630 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 2: vehicle's fixed. Sometimes when you're looking for a potential problem, 631 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 2: the algorithm testered to me doesn't really do the job. 632 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 2: And I'm sure a battery engineer or a systems engineer 633 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,920 Speaker 2: will give me the conversation about how there's certain batteries 634 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,200 Speaker 2: you have to test certain ways. Then you guys have 635 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 2: to come up with better ways to test them because 636 00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 2: what you're doing just sometimes doesn't flat out work and 637 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 2: that's an issue. So you know, go get the battery tested. 638 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 2: If the battery is original, it's well, it's only two 639 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 2: years old, but just know that, yes, that battery after 640 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 2: it gets to the three year mark. I'm always very 641 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 2: suspicious if this were a Honda, and I'll wrap it 642 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,479 Speaker 2: up here, and it was running a group thirty five battery, 643 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,400 Speaker 2: Group thirty five, how big is the house, how many bedrooms? 644 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,160 Speaker 2: What's the physical size a group thirty five battery. I'll 645 00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 2: tell you what probably the number one size failure battery, 646 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 2: regardless of cold cranking amps, how many years it's supposed 647 00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: to last. We do more group thirty fives than anything else. 648 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 2: And it's to the point now where we get a 649 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,280 Speaker 2: Honda with a group thirty five, if that battery is 650 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 2: over three years old, we're going to test it, but 651 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 2: we're probably going to encourage you to replace it because 652 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 2: of how much failures or how often we see failures 653 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 2: on that particular battery. If you need more information about batteries, Karen, 654 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 2: you and everybody else, get out to autobatteries dot com. 655 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,120 Speaker 2: Of course, I'm going to send you there. It's our 656 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 2: bible and our reference point. Auto batteries dot com is 657 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 2: going to be the place where you'll find every little 658 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 2: bit of information the hous in the what's picking a battery, 659 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 2: charging a battery, and basically how a battery works. So 660 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 2: it's a good library to fall back on. We do. 661 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 2: I'm on an ady in the car doctor eight five 662 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 2: five five six oh nine nine zero zero.
