1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: The following program has been pre reported. Ron and Nanian,

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: is your mechanic doing the right thing? The car Doctor?

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: How good of a job are they doing? If they

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: can't do an oil change correctly? How good are they

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: taking care of the rest of the car? Welcome to

6
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: the radio home of Ron and Aanian the Car Doctor,

7
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: since this is where car owners the world overturned to

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics

9
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 1: giving you a busy signal, pick up the phone and

10
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: call in the garage. Orders are open, but I am

11
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: here to take your calls at eight five five five six,

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: and now he running. Oh boy, is it good to

13
00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: be home. Let me tell you it was a It

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: was a rough trip up there at the North Pole. Um.

15
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: We we had all kinds of things going on with

16
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: Santa Slay this year. We had a socially distance Do

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: you know, Tom, Do you know how hard it is

18
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: to socially distance in a sleigh. I had to be

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: six ft apart from Santa. I had to build a

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: little caboose on the back of the slan. I had

21
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: a right in the back as the flight engineer to

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: make sure that Santa would get where he was going

23
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: and not having problem. All you do is use you

24
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: use cookies to measure it out. Well, it was a

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: little bit more than cookies. And I have to tell

26
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: you two things stick out in my mind. All right.

27
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: We were we were over europe Um around one o'clock

28
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: in the morning Christmas Eve, and we had a problem

29
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: with the left side of the slave the runners. One

30
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: of the runners started to warp and we dropped ten

31
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: thousand feet in about three and a half seconds. You

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: know what sheer terror is, you know, it was forty

33
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: below and we we were we dropped from I think

34
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: we were about like thirty two thousand feet and we

35
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: were down about twenty thousand feet in the blink of

36
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: an eye. And I had a I had a you

37
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: know with Santa helped me and we kind of had

38
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: a straighten the runner. And it's not easy to do

39
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: hovering in the air. That was a problem. But the

40
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: most inspiring thing that we went through, Tom was it

41
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: was so great to come into American airspace because Nora

42
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: Red sent up a team of stealth fighters to escort

43
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: us through airspace to make sure nothing happened to us,

44
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: that we had no bumps, and you know, any kind

45
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: of issues, and um, just kind of like it was

46
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: really cool. It was really cool. The slay got escorted

47
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: all around North America to helps speed things up because

48
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: they knew we had problems over Europe that we had

49
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: to correct ourselves for. But it's just it's nice to

50
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: be home, you know what, It's nice to be home.

51
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm honored that every year I get to

52
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: go up there and help Santa and do what I

53
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:28,679
Speaker 1: have to do. But um, you know, giving back is

54
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: is what it's all about. Right, that's did you miss me?

55
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: You were gone? No, wait a minute, we really need

56
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: to know how many cookies did you eat? Well, let's

57
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: just let's just say that, Um, I do get to

58
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: go back next year. Um, but let's let's let's just

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: say that I had just one short of the minimum

60
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: of the maximum amount because reindeer. The reindeer had to

61
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: pull really hard to get us up off for the

62
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: initial takeoff. Um, you have no idea how hard it

63
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: is to get you know, all those reindeer pulling in

64
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: the same direction, socially distant. Let's go this way and

65
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: everybody's kidbits in and you know I learned reindeer language, Tom,

66
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, that's a whole another, that's a whole another story.

67
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 1: You get you teach them mechanic language. No, I didn't really,

68
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: I you know, but they're they're the whole idea of

69
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: the sleigh and how it works is you know, I

70
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: understand more every year, every time I get to go

71
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: do this that. Uh you know, it's it's really impressive

72
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,399
Speaker 1: what what Santa does and uh, you know what he's

73
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: what he's really up there doing is trying to teach

74
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: us all is just to be kind to each other.

75
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: And you know what, he gets the reindeer to do

76
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: his pull in the same direction, and that's all he's

77
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: trying to teach us that we all need to do

78
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: is as humans to each other. Let's just all pull

79
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: in the same direction and be kind. And I think

80
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: that's really what his message is all about. Are part

81
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: of his message. And I'm glad to be here. What

82
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: do you got for me today? I know what we

83
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: got for me today. We're gonna talk to Patrick Game.

84
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna kill this name. Tom.

85
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Jack Amani. I think that's how we we

86
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: agreed to say it right, he's a I got it.

87
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: There you go, and Patrick, let's bring Patrick right on.

88
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: He's a he's he's a listener to the show. You know,

89
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: this is real. This is grassroots radio at its finest. Right.

90
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: Patrick's a regular listener to the show. But he's a

91
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: volunteer teaching assistant at Sacred Heart Griffin High School in Springfield, Illinois. Um,

92
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: he's doing this three years now. He's helping out with

93
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: the engineering class. He's a recently retired mechanical engineer with

94
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 1: thirty four years of experience as a power plant engineer,

95
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: and he's trying to Now you know, he's at that

96
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: age where we're supposed to be slowing down, but not Patrick.

97
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: He's trying to start an automotive curriculum at the local

98
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: high school and uh, you know, teach kids, you know,

99
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: get kids interested in learning how to fix cars. Patrick,

100
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: you crazy person? You how are you? Hey? I'm doing

101
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: a really good ron great to be on the show.

102
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: I love your show and I got some friends who

103
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 1: listened to it. And uh, um, also from my introduction,

104
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: I was really interested in manufacturing cars, but the power

105
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: industry had the jobs of my hometown of Springfield. On

106
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: still in the light though. That's how I got there

107
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: and and that's how I got interested in cars. But

108
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 1: I'm helping out with this course that introduces engineering the

109
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: high school students. And uh, one of the hopes is

110
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: that they will choose engineering as a profession. Uh. We

111
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: also hope that they learned how to draw, do three

112
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: D printing, electricity, work with basic engineering problems, and you know,

113
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 1: really understand how cars work and force. And we also

114
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: teach them about the various other engineering disciplines electrical, mechanical, civil,

115
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 1: and aeronautical. But go ahead, Patrick, do kids today do

116
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: they still teach mechanical drawing in high school? Do they

117
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: still do that? Is everything just done on computer? Now?

118
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: There's no more drafting tables. They don't do that in

119
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 1: this high school. But we changed all that, and we

120
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 1: did some mechanical drawing, and we took to the the

121
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: extent that we took it to our kad. We took

122
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 1: it to scale drawings on paper, and then we took

123
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: it to the three D printer. Now, when you get

124
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: a kid who's interested in in cars, how do you

125
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: help him make that connection from you know, he starts

126
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: out learning how to draw something and then maybe he

127
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,840
Speaker 1: does some three D printing and then you know, are

128
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: you looking at aptitude? What what makes that connection that

129
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: gets that kid interested in this end possibly how cars

130
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: are built or how cars are repaired. How are they

131
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: trying to tie that together in the curriculum or are they? Yeah,

132
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: I really believe that one way to really engage let's

133
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: say the motorheads student and possibly the other students in

134
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: the class, is to really show them how cars work.

135
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,799
Speaker 1: Like Henry Ford said, if you can break the job

136
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: down in the small pieces, then the job becomes man,

137
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: you know. And if you can break the car down

138
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: on a system by system basis and have each one

139
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: of the students research a different system, and then all

140
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: of the students read each other's report and see it

141
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: presented to the class, then we've really accomplished our objective

142
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: here um And at some point the students will see

143
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: the various systems in the car as engineering systems and

144
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: we may be able to engage them in in the

145
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 1: engineering field. Do you you know Patrick had been doing

146
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: it three years now. If you think back over the

147
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: past three years, do you think there has been that

148
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: student that maybe wouldn't have been interested in cars? That

149
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 1: somehow you turned that you saw an aptitude there. Actually

150
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: this would be the first year that we've developed this project,

151
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: and uh, we'll see that this year. Yeah, um and

152
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: there there isn't a better feeling than that. You know,

153
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: it's do you find you know, when I was when

154
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: I was in high school. There's no other way to

155
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 1: say this. When I was in high school, if you

156
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: couldn't do math or science or read, well, they sent

157
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: you to autoshop. Oh you're not smart. You're not going

158
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: to college. You go learn how to fix cars. And

159
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: I would be like what, um? And that was the attitude.

160
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: That's forty years ago, you know, I know it's changed,

161
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, do the kids it has to write? I mean,

162
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: there's just no way you can't be a dummy and

163
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: work on cars today. There's no other way to say it.

164
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: Although I think that we do have some dummies working

165
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 1: on cars and that's another story. That's why this radio

166
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: show exists to a degree. But you know, do you

167
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: make that connection? Is it mandatory If a kid says, hey,

168
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: I want to take autoshop, is it autoshop? You gotta

169
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: take math, you gotta take typing, you have to take

170
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: computer sciences. You have to take you know, basic electricity.

171
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: Do you tie it all together? Other are they trying?

172
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: Because you know, auto shop in high school doesn't exist anymore.

173
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: It's a dying it's a dying or it was a

174
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: dying program or dying curriculum up until a few years ago.

175
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: And now it's starting to make a revival and you

176
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: know your your your school and you you're you guys

177
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: are making an effort to revive it justly, so right, um, uh,

178
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, is it is? It? Is it a carefully

179
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: laid out curriculums they're laying out for the kids. It's

180
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 1: an experimental curriculum. It changes from year to year. And

181
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: and we've got a new book that's uh focuses in

182
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: a lot of areas. But this is just one of

183
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: our projects along with bridge building and three D printing

184
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: and all the various types of engineering and um. It

185
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: really has four steps which will become a minimum of

186
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: four power plant or power point slides in the max

187
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: number slides is like ten slides. I'll just go through

188
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 1: and describe it here. If you're ready for that, we'll

189
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: tell you what. Patrick, Let me pull over and take

190
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: a pause when we come back and remind me. I

191
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: want to talk about three D printing too. I heard

192
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 1: a story about how that applies to the repair shop

193
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: of the future, and maybe you can enlighten us on that.

194
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: I'm running any of the Car Doctor. I'm here with

195
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: Patrick jack a meany, he's a he's he's he's out

196
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: there doing some really great work trying to help the

197
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: kids up there at Sacred Hart Griffin High School in Springfield, Illinois.

198
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: And we're back to finish our conversation right after this.

199
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 1: Don't go away. He drives that way. But when it

200
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: comes to fixing cars, Ron has card advice done right

201
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: eight five five five zero nine nine zero zero. Here's Rod,

202
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 1: welcome back. We're on nee of the Car Doctor. Let's

203
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: get over and talk to overtime. Sorry, let's get over

204
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,920
Speaker 1: talk to look at me, Tom. I'm going to phone

205
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: calls so it shows you I'm kind of like an automode.

206
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: We're actually talking to Patrick jack Amani from he's a

207
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 1: self described volunteer teaching assistant Sacred Heart Griffin High School, Springfield, Illinois. Patrick,

208
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: when we pull over and took the pause, when I

209
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: was in a different time zone, um uh, you know,

210
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: I was thinking about the three D printing, and you

211
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 1: mentioned three D printing, and you're trying to, you know,

212
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: get the kids to do three D printing in the

213
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: school in the curriculum. Correct. Correct, We have a three

214
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: D printer at that high school and we've we've printed

215
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: out things for This would be the third year for that.

216
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: Do you see you know what I was thinking about.

217
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: I had read an article not too long ago that

218
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: the repair shop of the future we'll have three D

219
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: printers in it. Do you think there's a you're an engineer, right,

220
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: you're a retired engineer. You think there's a practical application

221
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 1: where we're gonna be able to print parts and not

222
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: have a parts warehouse anymore. I think that those both

223
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: parts warehouses are gonna be a long you know, around

224
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: for a long time. But I think in some respect

225
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: maybe plastic parts could be three D printed. But I

226
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: think there's a long ways between now and then. These

227
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: three D printers that I see, they're experimental, they're delicate,

228
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: you know, they're more of a demonstration show model where

229
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: you can sprint small things. I don't think it's gonna

230
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: be sprinting any headlights anytime soon, or is it? Or

231
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: is it is three D printing and to become part

232
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: of auto repair when an electric vehicle comes in, which

233
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: has obviously different kind of components and maybe things that

234
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: are more easily printed. I'm not I'm not sure. I

235
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: haven't thought about it from that perspective, but I thought

236
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,560
Speaker 1: it was an interesting angle that three D printing would

237
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: be involved in order repair, say in twenty five years.

238
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: I thought that was you know, that's really futuristic thinking, right, Um, yeah,

239
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: I think it would be in twenty five years now.

240
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: I have a daughter who's a dentist and they are

241
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: using the three D printer inside respects. It's really a

242
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: three D milling machine that mills the tooth off before

243
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: you get your crown and you go to lunch, and

244
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: then your crowns ready and they pop it on there.

245
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: So that's out there. It's it's it's out there in

246
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. Um. You know they say three

247
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: D printing as an assaute. I know we're off topic here,

248
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 1: but they say three D printing. Uh. They look forward

249
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 1: space travel is you know it's gonna be when they're

250
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: up in space and they need to make a widget.

251
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: You know, if they have a blueprint, they'll make it.

252
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 1: From that blueprint and you know, fix the spaceship in theory,

253
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 1: however simplistic you want to look at that. But you know,

254
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: it's just interesting how they're finding so many applications for it. Um,

255
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 1: that's possible. Yeah, I was gonna tell you what about

256
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: my project here? That's okay, sure, absolutely so the slide

257
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: loan this project is described the system and how it

258
00:13:54,640 --> 00:14:04,079
Speaker 1: operates um and then uh, slide two is okay, so

259
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: let's start over. Slide one is that described the system

260
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: and how operates and includes some sensors as well as

261
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:16,719
Speaker 1: a power source. UH. Slide two is find flow diagrams

262
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 1: to show system components as well as the working fluid path.

263
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: Slide three is find general arrangement drawings that shows a

264
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: system components as they relate to their location on the vehicle.

265
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: And the last slide slide four is described typical system

266
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: maintenance requirements and failure modes. And then uh, you know,

267
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: each slide they become two slides. But it's simple and

268
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: it's to the point, and I think they can do it.

269
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 1: Do you think, you know, are the kid's hands on yet?

270
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: It sounds like what you're teaching them basically is is theory,

271
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: has it has it become a hands on program yet,

272
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: or you're working our way up to that. I think

273
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: we're working our way up to that. It's going to

274
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: be basically them looking at their own car and seeing

275
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: what kind of system they have, and the best five

276
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: reports are presented to the class and then the rest

277
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: of the reports will be posted to the classes website

278
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 1: for all the students to read. And then we'll take

279
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: a couple of test questions from the mix of the

280
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: reports that you know, to make sure sure that the

281
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: students read all of the reports from all say, twenty

282
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: audible bill systems, and I think they'll understand how their

283
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: car works a little better. What do you think I

284
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: would agree with that? I think the theory is a good,

285
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: strong place to start. It's a good foundation. What's the

286
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: reaction of the school board in our last two minutes here? Patrick?

287
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: Are they? Are they for this? Is? I mean, obviously

288
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: the school is aware of this because the next problem

289
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: is going to be or the next issue that's going

290
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: to come up is when you go ask for funding,

291
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, to set up to set up a high

292
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: school auto shop in program with tooling and equipment and

293
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, It's like starting a small auto repair of business.

294
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: You know, when I went to high school, you can

295
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: bring your car into the shop and you would pay

296
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: for the parts and the students would work on it.

297
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: You know, that's obviously where you want to get this

298
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: to give the kids hands on experience. But then for

299
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: them to be able to do that, the cost of

300
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 1: tooling is you know, quarter million dollars. You think that

301
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: you think the school board's going to find that, No,

302
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: it really stops with this report here, and then we

303
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: go into a different kind of engineering. This is just

304
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: kind of a a piece of work to engage the

305
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: students in the class and maybe in the field of

306
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: engineering and become more familiar with their car. We're getting

307
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: into things like the the air conditioning system is is

308
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: a built in example all that I have in this

309
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: report here, and you're seeing that you have a copy

310
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: of it. Uh. You know, we're getting into the transmission

311
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: system basic, the four will drive system, the turbo charger,

312
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: your O B D system, you know, you're your power

313
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: steering syms in in all the like twenty systems like that.

314
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: There won't be any outer shop at this uh, at

315
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,160
Speaker 1: the school, but maybe the wish they had one right well,

316
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: and and I think that's what we'll see in the future. Um,

317
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: you know, listen, Patrick, what you're doing is not an

318
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: easy task, and you know, we wanted to bring you

319
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: up here to really just let the listeners hear about

320
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: one man's effort. And we wanted to also commend you

321
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: for your for your efforts, because we think what you're

322
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,919
Speaker 1: doing is a really great thing. So um, let's just

323
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 1: let's let's let's wrap it there. We're gonna get we're

324
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: gonna get cut short on time. But thanks for being

325
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: part of the car doctor family. Thank you seriously for

326
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 1: what you're doing out there, and uh, we wish you

327
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:06,879
Speaker 1: well in the coming here. You're very welcome, sir. You

328
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: take good care. You know it's not easy right with

329
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: Patrick's doing. I remember as a kid in high school,

330
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: um my high school, at a shop teacher said, you know,

331
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: in Anien, maybe this career isn't the path for you,

332
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: and maybe you should go find something else to do.

333
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: I wonder what Mr Stillman's doing now. I wonder if

334
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 1: he could see me now anyway, coming up next, Harlan Siegel. Hey,

335
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,080
Speaker 1: we found Harland Siegel. Remember Harland. We haven't talked him

336
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: about a year. We're gonna welcome back. We're glad to

337
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: have him with this talking scan tools. Coming up next,

338
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: I'm running anian the Car Doctor. Don't go away, welcome back.

339
00:18:57,880 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 1: We're in any of the Car Doctor. Our next guest

340
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: has been with as many times we were glad that

341
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: happened with us once again. It's been Uh. We've both

342
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: been very busy, Harland and I and we've been in

343
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 1: opposite ends of the global spectrum, so to speak, and

344
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: he's taken some time out of his busy schedule to

345
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 1: be with us here today. Harlan, Welcome back, Sarah. I

346
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: hope you've been well. Hey Ron, glad to be back.

347
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: Good to hear your voice. Yes, sir, I'm always a

348
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: pleasure to speak with you. Uh, scan tools, Harland, You

349
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 1: and I always go at this about scan tools. We're

350
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,919
Speaker 1: always trying to explain to the listeners the value, the importance.

351
00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: You know, I go back to the mid eighties when

352
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,440
Speaker 1: scan tools first came out. They were you know how

353
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: big were they were? They were four by six and

354
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: they had like one or two lines of data and

355
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 1: they were really slow by I mean, my gosh, by

356
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: today's standards. It was like, you know, timing yourself with

357
00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 1: a calendar, trying to walk to the front door. It

358
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 1: was just just just terrible. And and now we've we've

359
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 1: come forward forty years just about and scan tools are

360
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,440
Speaker 1: such an essential part. You couldn't fix a card today

361
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: without a scan tool. Correct, that's that's absolutely correct. And yes,

362
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: I uh I do recall uh the lodge ones even

363
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: back in the UH the engine analyze the days with

364
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: the long wires out of them and uh and gave

365
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: you some some results that we get out of a

366
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: small handle device these days. But the technology has increased significantly.

367
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: UH and and and uh and and now it's beyond

368
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: the scan tool with the complexity of today's cars. And

369
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 1: when we talk about scan tools, you know everybody out

370
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: there saying, well, yet to diagnose the engine. But the

371
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,679
Speaker 1: scan tool ties everything together, the radio, the heat or

372
00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: the tires, you know, the t PMS system. There isn't

373
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: anything you can't do with the scan tool in terms

374
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: of you need to just just to connect to the

375
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: car to look at the systems. Right, that's exactly right.

376
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: You know, all of the systems that were used to

377
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: and now we have you know, ad ASS related systems,

378
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: the advanced drivers system systems such as you know lane departure,

379
00:20:56,440 --> 00:21:00,440
Speaker 1: blind spot monitoring, adaptive control and so on, or even

380
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 1: uh you know driver drowsiness detection. Everything is communicated, everything

381
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 1: is monitored, Everything is diagnosed currently through the sixteen pin

382
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: connector and that's your scan tool. Is that sixteen pin

383
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 1: that O B D two connected that we've all come

384
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: to know so well into the dash Harland, Do you

385
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 1: have any insight? Is that connector going away? Is that

386
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,959
Speaker 1: being changed in the coming years? Uh? It currently is

387
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: not being changed. It is what it is, what's being

388
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: fed to. It might be changed because the complexity and

389
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: the large package of data that need to be transferred,

390
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: but but the connector itself will will remain at this

391
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: time sixteen pins, right, because I have heard stories of

392
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: that that that connector changing. But um, there's some complications

393
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: there from legality and every other which way. UM, talk

394
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,439
Speaker 1: to me about talk to me about collision solutions. You know,

395
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: I was up on the website, the the opus I vs.

396
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: Dot Com website, and UM, I was reading about the

397
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: collision solutions and you guys make some really solid points

398
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 1: about you know, I think about it always from a

399
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: mechanical perspective. But for a collision shop dealing with a

400
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: collision problem you know, offender bender, UH, the scan tool

401
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: is probably just as if not more, of a predominantly

402
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: important tool. Right, Um, what are some of the challenges

403
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: the collision shops are facing? Scan tool was? Well, the

404
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: big the big recent challenges is UH, most of the

405
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: O E m's have come out with what they called

406
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 1: position statements, and the positions statements state that when a

407
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: when a vehicle comes in UH for repair, prior to repair,

408
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,439
Speaker 1: you would do a pre scan of the vehicle, that is,

409
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: finding any any codes that may or may not be

410
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: related to to the collision that that occurred, and then

411
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: you do the repair. But but most importantly, prior to

412
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: delivery back to the customer, up skin must be done

413
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: in which you peeing all modules and make sure that

414
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: it basically has a clean bill health prior to give

415
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: it back to the to the customer. And then it

416
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: is so critical and it's so paramount for the safety

417
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: of the vehicle that the insurance companies will pay the

418
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: collision shops to do that at that scan. But what happens, Harlan,

419
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: you know from a collision shop perspective, you know, maybe

420
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: a mechanical shop. You know, I think about the age

421
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: of the cars that I'm currently seeing in the shop,

422
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: and maybe I'm a little different. I'll tend to see

423
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: some newer cars. But the average shop is seeing you know,

424
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: this is almost twenty one, so the average shop is

425
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 1: seeing what fifteens, sixteens because the seventeen eighteens and nineteens

426
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: are under warranty. But a collision shop, you know, listen,

427
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: you can buy that brand new nineteen or twenty, drive

428
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: it off the lotton sadly get rear ended, and it's

429
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 1: in a collision shop. That collision shop has to have

430
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: right on the edge, cutting edge to technology. They've got

431
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: h you know, they've got to have that scan tool

432
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: that takes them dealer level. And and that's where opus

433
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 1: comes in. Right, that's exactly right, and and and yeah,

434
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 1: and in the collision shop, uh you know you could, yeah,

435
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:17,160
Speaker 1: you literally just drive a car out of a lot,

436
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: you just bought it brand new, and uh and they

437
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 1: would see the vehicle, you know, no, no later than

438
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: than the average new card dealership. So so what happens

439
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: in that case is sometimes the aftermarket isn't isn't a

440
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 1: wise choice. And it's not that there's anything wrong with

441
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: aftermarket solutions. It's just that many of the aftermarket lagged

442
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: the new card dealer by some years. You know, you know,

443
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: most of them keep up pretty good, but it's it's

444
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: unreasonable to expect it to be you know, as carrent

445
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: as the model the year you're in, or within several years.

446
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 1: As you just stated that the that the average independent

447
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: shop cheeze, which is several years but in the new cars.

448
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: So so in that case that that collision shop is

449
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: going to even need access to O E tools or

450
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: an alternate way to give him that capability, as if

451
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: he were to have tools. Harlan, how many years you

452
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 1: involved the scan tools? You've been selling them as long

453
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: as I know you what it's got to be years

454
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: uh more. Like I was gonna say, I didn't want

455
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: to say that. I knew that was the answer, but

456
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: I wanted to ease into that because you know, next

457
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: month I start my thirtieth year on radio, and I'm like,

458
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm twitching when I say that. I'm like, no, how

459
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,360
Speaker 1: could that be? Um? Uh So listen, let me pull

460
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: over and take a plause. When we come back. I

461
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 1: want to talk specifically about Opus and some of the

462
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: solutions you guys have for the industry and what you're doing,

463
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: because what you're doing is revolutionary. And that's really the

464
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: real reason why I've got you here today, Mother than that,

465
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, I love you, and I wanted to say hello,

466
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: said Ted Harland. I'm running eating the car. Doctor will

467
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:09,120
Speaker 1: be back right after this. Don't go away. Welcome back

468
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: on an NFR, doctor, Harland Seagull of OPUS Intelligent Vehicle Solutions. Harland,

469
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: you're still there, sir. I knew you would be. Um.

470
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: Talk to me about Opus, Harland. You know it's it's

471
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: it's such a revolutionary idea. There's so many scan tools

472
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: out there, as you said, and but what you're doing,

473
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: what Opus is doing is something that has not been

474
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,639
Speaker 1: done to date. And I think I've been around this

475
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: industry long enough I'm qualified to say I think I've

476
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: seen it all. Uh, this is the first talk to

477
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: us about it. Yeah, So, so what what OPUS is about.

478
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: It's about beyond the scan tool. And as you know,

479
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: I've been around scan tools for most of my professional

480
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: life and and and scan tools from all makes and

481
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: models are in a high quality assaultment these days. And

482
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 1: and yet with all of the technology and over the

483
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: capability of the finest scan tools available to to the aftermarket,

484
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: the technician and the shop on often is still left

485
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: with the same issue that they started with, and that

486
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: is the car that's still in the bay, unable to

487
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: fix it in the reasonable time, might have to punt

488
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: it to the to the new card dealer, call on

489
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 1: a mobile tech or just or just being wasted time

490
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: before he got to repair because that particular issue may

491
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: be new to him. So what we're going to do

492
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: is we're going to change the game up a bit.

493
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,439
Speaker 1: And and even though the products which we offer a

494
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: surround a device that happens to include a scan tool,

495
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: because you have to stop there for your basis, But

496
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 1: what we're going to do is we're going to remote

497
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 1: into the device with over a hundred o brands specific

498
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 1: technicians and guide the other end, the technician in that

499
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: shop to the quickest thick so that vehicle. Because even

500
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: though the technician in the shop for the first time

501
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: might see this particular issue with this BMW, Ford or Honda,

502
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: the the the technician on our end that's going to

503
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: remote in our remote expert likely has seen that problem

504
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 1: hundreds and hundreds of times before, and I'll get the

505
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: car in and out in no time. But one of

506
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 1: the right now, but one of the I don't want

507
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 1: to gloss over this though. But the key, the thing

508
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:34,199
Speaker 1: that really got my attention with this is you're doing

509
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: it with the same software that the dealer has. You're

510
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: doing with OE manufacturer software, right exactly. So, so if

511
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,160
Speaker 1: we're not able, we have to software suites in our device,

512
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: our aftermarket which is a company we purchase called Auto

513
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 1: Ingenuity UH and then in which we call drive pros

514
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: for and then across o E. So in many cases,

515
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: the best o E. I'm sorry, the best aftermarket scan

516
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: tools that are out there miss something and and and

517
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: if you're going to compare to what's good, good is

518
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: the factory tool so that we have the capability of

519
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: logging in with the factory tool software. That's the same

520
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: tool that the dealership would use with the latest software

521
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: in the tool in with something who knows how to

522
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: use it. By this o E facty train technician and

523
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: will either look at the data, do the remote repair

524
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: for example, a calibration, or it could it could be

525
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: an initialization or or anything or a reset that needs

526
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: to be done on the vehicle, and here's a cool thing.

527
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 1: All the the O software needed to do this. It's

528
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 1: in the tool, but it's remoted out to one of

529
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: our five call centers throughout. So all the technician does

530
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: at the shop level is basically have a copper coffee

531
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: for we're working on the car, right And I've and

532
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 1: I've seen this demo and it's really you know, like

533
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: like wow, technology, it's it's it's staggering when you see it,

534
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,440
Speaker 1: and you know, I realize what it is you're doing

535
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: as so many others do, and I think this is

536
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 1: this is really cutting edge. This is like not nothing,

537
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: nobody else is doing this, Harlan. And you know, you

538
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: guys get a pat on the back from me. I

539
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: really appreciate what you're what you're accomplishing, and what you're

540
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: doing here because you're upping everybody's game as far as

541
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: when it comes to scan tools. You know, it's one

542
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: thing to be able to look at fuel, trim and

543
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: that and analyze it. But now there's no more fear

544
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: As a shop owner. My biggest fear is I'm going

545
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: to get a car in that I can't program that

546
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: I put a power window motor in certain GMS that

547
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,240
Speaker 1: tends the elevens the twelves, you put a power window

548
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 1: motor in it, you'd have to code it to the vehicle.

549
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: You would have to identify what the motor was that

550
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: you changed until the vehicle, Hey, I changed it, or

551
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, some of the other components that aren't emissions

552
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 1: related because j me if I'm wrong, but JO is

553
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: emissions applicable programming and coding as required by law. Correct,

554
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: it's not the entire vehicle, you're the entire vehicle. Correct.

555
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: And we do communicate through jy thir four device and

556
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: that's our drow Tech CARDAC integral component. But but that's

557
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: how we communicate. In fact, that's almostly OE tools today

558
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: communicate with you our right on the emissions. But now

559
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: it's opened up throughout the vehicle because many times, you know,

560
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: we need to put new software into a controller. Maybe

561
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: it's not broke, maybe the software is broke, like getting

562
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: a new you know, update to your and the Windows

563
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: ten laptop, and we can put that new software in

564
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: that might fix that co star drive ability or might

565
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,440
Speaker 1: fix you know, why the heater doesn't move from defrost

566
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: the floor or whatever it may be, and our remote

567
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 1: experts will log in with the factory software and reprogram

568
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: that controller for you. Well, let's go back to our

569
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 1: conversation started in our closing minute here, Harland, and that

570
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: you know the collision shop, right, the collision shop gets

571
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 1: that BMW that they have to put, you know, four

572
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 1: modules in because the left front fender got hit. How

573
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: do you program it? Now? You can program it now,

574
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 1: you can now, it's not tow it out to the dealer.

575
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 1: You can do it right there in the shop. Correct,

576
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: that's exactly right, so you don't have to sub let it.

577
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: And more importantly that that if something would go away,

578
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: we guarantee the results because whenever your program modules, you know,

579
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,360
Speaker 1: even if you did it yourself, even at the dealership level,

580
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: sometimes things go bad and we take full responsibility and

581
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: and take it from the very onset to the complete

582
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: repair or off hands. Crazy stuff, Harland. I'll tell you

583
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, in all the years I know you, you're

584
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: always right on the edge and you're always doing the

585
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 1: next step before everybody else gets there. Buddy, Um, I'm

586
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: proud of you. You're doing a great job. Where can
