Speaker 1: car Doctor show dot com. I like that quiet time

29
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: in a repair shop, and it pops up at the

30
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: oddest hours when you least expect it, right, and sometimes

31
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: it's not at the end of the day. Sometimes it's

32
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: dang right in the middle of the afternoon. Yesterday, Friday afternoon,

33
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: I had to send Danny out, I had to send

34
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: Harry out. The shop was empty and my friend Dave

35
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: Dave owns he is the local BMW guru uh in

36
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: the next town over in Whyekoff and Um Dave had

37
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: to come down. We had to do an inspection and

38
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: it was just two shop owners on a on a

39
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: on a quiet busy if you know what I'm saying.

40
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon, the conversation inevitably gets to be about business

41
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: and customers and the usual things that two shop owners

42
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: would talk about because I'm not a technician at that point.

43
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: I'm the guy that signs the check. And I said,

44
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: what do you think is wrong with the industry? Dave?

45
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: I said, you know, if you had one thing that

46
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: you could point out and say, yeah, this is really

47
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: what's the problem, what would that be? And he thought

48
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: about it for a minute. He said, you know, Ron,

49
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: the problem is the industry, not all of it, but

50
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: just enough of it beats up customers and they're tough

51
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: on customers. And he said, one of the things I

52
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: tell people walking into my shop, this is Dave talking now,

53
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: he said, is you should walk in here with an

54
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: expectation that it could be the worst, and if it's not,

55
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: be surprised. And You've got every reason in the world

56
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: to think that I might cheat you, and I have

57
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: to show you why I'm not going to and why

58
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: I'm going to do the job right. You know, I

59
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: thought about that, and I said, so, Dave, you're telling

60
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: me that everybody walking into a repair shop should have

61
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: a expect the worst scenario in their head. And he goes, yeah,

62
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,680
Speaker 1: he goes because think about it, he goes, you and

63
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: I know it, and he's right, I know it. Dave

64
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: knows that a lot of shop owners out there. We

65
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: see it all the time. We see a lot of

66
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: cars come in that are coming in from other repair shops, dealership,

67
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: chain stores, whatever, that have just been beat up and

68
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: repaired incorrectly, which is why they're in the shop in

69
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: those respective other shops in the first place. I guess

70
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: the way I want to kick this hour the car

71
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: doctor off is maybe the way we need to look

72
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: at or to repair. It's kind of like a line date,

73
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: and you've got to think about those blind dates and

74
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 1: you know you're sort of new for those of you

75
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: that haven't dated in a while. H Present Company included that, um,

76
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: you know, gee whiz, you sort of knew ten minutes

77
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 1: in whether or not it was gonna be, you know,

78
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: whether there was gonna be a second date or a

79
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: third date. And I think the most important thing we

80
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: possess his human beings is our gut instinct. And I

81
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: think we have to rely on that more when we're

82
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: dealing with any kind of service professional, because I think

83
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 1: that's the first indicator. You know, what would your gut

84
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: tell you? And if your gut tells you, I don't

85
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: think I want to get married and have kids with

86
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: this person, and chances are you probably don't want to

87
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: working on your car either, And um, I just want

88
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: to put that fought in your head as we kick

89
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: off this hour of the Car Doctor, because maybe, as

90
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: Dave said, you know what, expect the worst. That way

91
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: you'll really be surprised. Hello and welcome roninating in the

92
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 1: Guard Doctor hereo nine zero. I think my chief engineer,

93
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 1: Tom Ray is going to jump in here for a

94
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: quick second. I can see what I was just gonna ask.

95
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 1: Does that mean I can't have you work on my

96
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: car anymore? Well, I don't know is that possible? So

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: it's um but you know you think about it that way, Tom,

98
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: come back a minute, so you know, just think about

99
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 1: this real quick. If you didn't have me and you

100
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: when you used to walk into a repair shop, what

101
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: did you expect? How did that go for you? Because

102
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: you you didn't seem happy. You didn't come to me

103
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 1: just because it's me. You came to me because you

104
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 1: were looking for a mechanic. But what did the other

105
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: guy do that just annoyed you? There had to be something.

106
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 1: There are a lot of a lot of other guys

107
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 1: that annoy me. I mean I'm as you know, I'm

108
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: not the normal customer. I'm not normal period. Well I'm

109
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: not the normal customer because I tend to know a

110
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: little more about I know, I'm not an auto mechanic.

111
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: I know a bit about cars, and I kind of

112
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,679
Speaker 1: know when you're trying to pull the wool over my eyes.

113
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: And Ron and Ninian doesn't do that to me. Other

114
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: people do. They try to sell you things they don't need.

115
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: They try to to to talk into things you don't want.

116
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: You know, my favorite is taking the car in for

117
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: New York State inspections. I'm in New York, you're in

118
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: New Jersey. You can't do a New York State inspection.

119
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: And you know they'll come out and look at me

120
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: and go, you gotta have breaks and this is dangerous,

121
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 1: gotta be done now. I look at the Skull family

122
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: because you've obviously looked at them, and they're nowhere near

123
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: being a problem. And you know, it's like said, ahead, family,

124
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 1: I don't care. You know that annoys me. And that

125
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: actually happened two years ago. I think to you, well,

126
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: that happened two years ago, and then this past year

127
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: they decided it needed a stabilizer bar that you and

128
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: Danny were hanging on in the shop and couldn't move

129
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: and they said it was loose. Yeah, I remember that too,

130
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: so bad first State. Yeah, and unfortunately they you know, unfortunately,

131
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: this is a dealer and they should know the car.

132
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Well, you would think I

133
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: always come back to this, And I think one of

134
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: the things that's wrong in the auto repair industry is

135
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: I think it's the method of compensation. And I think

136
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: in far too many cases that word commission comes into it,

137
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: and it's ugly. And if somebody needs to buy lawn

138
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: furniture that weekend, well guess what that's what happens. Hey,

Speaker 1: but my sons not really into it. Right. How much

156
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: do they want for the car? Okay? Automatic or stick?

157
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: Se Okay? So let's say you pay five grand for

158
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: this car and six months from now the clutch fails.

159
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: Has your son ever driven a stick? Okay? So he's

160
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: the first time driver, right, So so the likelihood of

161
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: this needing a clutch in six months it might be

162
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: more realistic than we realize. So in six in six

163
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: months when it needs a clutch, is it an all

164
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: wheel drive CRX? Okay? So if the clutch does fail

165
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: and it's too grand to put a clutch in it,

166
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: would you put a clutch in it? I probably will? Okay?

167
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: So now you're into it for seven grand? All right?

168
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,199
Speaker 1: How are the tires on the car? Yeah, I don't know.

169
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: I haven't taken a good look at it. I just

170
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: have been admiring it from a distance. So let's say

171
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: it needs tires. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. It

172
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: probably needs five dred to a thousand dollars worth of widgets.

173
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: Can we agree on that? Okay? So now we're up

174
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: to eight grant And and my point is that five

175
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: grand for a twenty five year old car that is

176
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: gonna be three hours away. Um, here's the barometer by

177
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 1: which I want you to measure this. I want you

178
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: to I want you to take your fingertip, touch your shoulder,

179
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: and then I want you to extend your arm all

180
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: the way out. How far is your arm reach? Can

181
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: it reach three hours away? And that becomes a problem.

182
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: And I say that in jest, but that becomes an

183
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: issue first time driver, young driver. You know there's it's

184
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: probably gonna be in college. I'm assuming that. You know,

185
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 1: we've got to make sure that they're they're having a

186
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 1: good experience. They're trying to get an education, not repair

187
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: an automobile. And for the money we try to save

188
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 1: initially five grand for a twenty five year old car

189
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: that could have any thing wrong with it. And you

190
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: gotta remember you've only seen the car from the outside,

191
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: from the rocker panels up. All right, you want to

192
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: take a look under the car, and you want to see,

193
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: you know, what does the bottom of the car look like? Rust, corrosion, leaks.

194
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 1: Hopefully there's a big enough leak somewhere that prevented any

195
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: rust and corrosion, but you know, bottom bottom line becomes

196
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: that to me, it's too old of a car to

197
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: consider three hours away. If it was, you know, twenty

198
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: five year old car five grand, if it's really worth

199
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: five grand, I can't even have that conversation in my head.

200
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: You know, if it was local community college twenty minutes away,

201
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: completely different conversation. The deal breaker for me is that

202
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,719
Speaker 1: it's three hours away. The deal breaker for me is

203
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 1: that between a clutch and some other things, you could

204
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: put eight grand out over the next six months. And

205
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: if that was the case, I take that eight grand

206
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: out of your pocket. Now he had to tow it,

207
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: spend ten and just go buy a better car that's

208
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: half the age, and I think he'd be miles ahead

209
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: in the long run. Yeah, I was kind of taking

210
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:06,079
Speaker 1: You could probably say something, and the thing is, and

211
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: this is probably a question you can't answer. But being

212
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: a car guy, I like to drive, and I like

213
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: my children's drive. Things a little off, the things that

214
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: you don't see all the time. That's what caught my

215
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: attention on that. Well, I don't know what I could

216
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: buy that. What is he like? What is he like? Tony?

217
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 1: Does he like the Honda? He likes the Honda, and

218
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: he likes way he drove in high school, which was

219
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: the N seven. Listen, that's that's a horrible car. Well,

220
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: but you know, the other the other way to look

221
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: at this too is if if and listen, there's nothing

222
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 1: wrong with being a car guy. I'm a car guy,

223
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: as everybody can tell. And you know, you look at

224
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: I have an eclectic fleet myself. And if driving that

225
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 1: Honda's gonna make him feel good, and you can deal

226
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: with the repairs, and you can deal with the fact

227
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 1: that your arm doesn't reach three hours away by it,

228
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: just be prepared to spend the money on it. In

229
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: that case, when I looked at the car as a mechanic,

230
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: the first things I'm gonna look at is I want

231
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: to know is the timing belt ever done? What kind

232
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: of shape is the undercarriage in? What kind of condition?

233
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: Are the break and the fuel lines in what sort

234
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,719
Speaker 1: of rust is there around the fuel tank and the

235
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: filler neck. Those were all common things to be a

236
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: problem on that model year Honda. And then just be

237
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 1: prepared that you're gonna spend a bit of money over

238
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: the course of over the course of time. Hangout on second,

239
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: Harry's got a comment, Harry, jump in here real quick. Yeah,

240
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: And I would also mention being able to find parts.

241
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: Remember that gentleman who called two months ago when you

242
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 1: couldn't find the simplest part for that civic or whatever, right,

243
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: And that's and that's that's the other issue, Tony, is that, um,

244
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 1: you know what's parts availability? And it's it's it's years.

245
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: You know. We had a we had a customer real

246
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: quick in the shop this week with THEE g oh

247
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 1: that needed a seat belt and you can't get a

248
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: seat belt from anybody for g O g O. So

249
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: that ended that conversation. Tony, I gotta go. I'm up

250
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: against the clock. Let us know what you decide. Send

254
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 1: just sitting here chatting on the side and my chief engineer,

255
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: Tom Ray, and I are talking about when his daughter

256
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: comes back from college this Christmas. How was She's gonna

Speaker 1: come down and I'm gonna have to give her the

258
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: how to change a tire lesson. And I said to Tom, yeah,

259
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: just have her wear shorts and uh and sandals, and

260
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,079
Speaker 1: you know, we can watch her bleed and drop things

261
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: on her foot and all that good stuff and learned

262
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: why you don't travel. I still think we need to

263
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: get that as a national campaign, teach a kid to

264
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: change a flat tire, because I just think it's so

265
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: gosh darn important. I remember the one kid, the one

266
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: young man I we taught last when I taught the

267
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: change of flat tire, and he was wearing those those

268
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 1: shorts and the sandals, and I just and he's going

269
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: to college and somewhere in the middle of New York State,

270
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: up or New York State, and I just dirty knees

271
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: and cuts and he was like, boy, he goes, this

272
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: is tough. And it was funny because of the conversation

273
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: heat off the last phone call with with with your

274
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: thing about the uh, the kid being three years away

275
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 1: with three hours away with his car. My daughter six

276
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: and a half hours away, and we gave her my

277
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: old car with five thousand miles. But you know the

278
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,800

Speaker 1: the phone authorization, they don't even have to ask him

308
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: to save this pots. They have to have the parts

309
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 1: available unless it's a warranty pot or a core charge.

310
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: They have to have your own parts to you. Well,

311
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: when I want to pick my car up, they said

312
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: everything is good and uh, the only parts when I

313
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: go to leave with the only parts in the car

314
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: of the sport plugs, nothing else now hoses, no, nothing. Well,

315
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: my problem is after trying to explain it, I would

316
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: like my parts back. Okay, Uh, service tech apologizing, I'm sorry.

317
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: It is written down, but it's not my fault. They

318
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: didn't save them, while according to New York State, well

319
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: they have to save these parts. Let me ask my

320
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: question whether go ahead, excuse me, I was gonna say,

321
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: I questioned whether I truly needed this weird break job.

322
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: I know they did it, but I don't think I

323
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 1: needed a break job, and I have no evidence. There's

324
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: no written down. The pads are worn. You cann't try

325
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: the wheel not note note stents on break life or

326
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: a break pad life, or even a dirty wheel. Who

327
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: have you talked? Who have you talked to the technician

328
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: to uh, I'll pay for everything except the great job.

329
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: I don't think they needed it. Oh, I can't do that.

330
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: Who have you talked to at the dealership Christ besides

331
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: the service writer? Have you talked to the as manager?

332
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: I have and couldn't. You wouldn't come back out. I

333
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: complained to him about starting over, targing me by seventy dollars.

334
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: If I pulled up and got to part from Honder

335
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: at his office right there, it would have been seventy

336
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 1: dollars less than he wanted to charge me. So when

337
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: I picked up the car right away, complained about I'm like,

338
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,360
Speaker 1: you know it's not right. I take I didn't even

339
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 1: ask for a break job or anything. I'm not a

340
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: for inspection and I didn't know they were gonna do

341
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: some kind of free break check. Didn't tell me what

342
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: my front brakes looked like. So I really questioned his

343
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,639
Speaker 1: I couldn't get in touch with him all week. He

344
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: wouldn't come back out. He wouldn't come out back when

345
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: I had no parts, and he he would. I could

346
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: not get in touch with him all week long. Chris,

347
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: what do you have? What? I gave him one last

348
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,920
Speaker 1: try to say, I'll pay for everything except the break job,

349
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 1: and this time it was yet, why are you threatening me?

350
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not threatening you. But now I'm

351
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: going to the MP. Yeah, that's where I was going

352
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: to go, right Um, I would register, I would register

353
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 1: a complaint up in all, but he let me ask

354
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: you this, Chris, what do you have as far as documentation?

355
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what before you answer that question. I have.

356
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: I have, I'm gonna have their stuff. I have the

357
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: notes that I brought the car in with where it

358
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,359
Speaker 1: says save parts. On this thing it does say to

359
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: save parts. And I had no talks to return to

360
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,160
Speaker 1: make so let me that I don't need a great job.

361
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 1: Was was this? Was this a good or a bad

362
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 1: first date? Oh? This is a horrible chart state. I

363
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: say that if I spend a time at the hunter Bucks,

364
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: that have been pretty clear and I wouldn't have you know,

365
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,639
Speaker 1: like I had a long hand of stuff putting the

366
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: car right. Yeah, listen, the best answer bad Yeah, bad

367
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: first date. Like I was talking at the top of

368
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: the hour. The best thing I can tell you is

369
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: just follow through with your paperwork up and all of me.

370
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: It is the obligation of the repair shop. If you

371
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: request parts, they do have to hang onto them. I

372
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: believe you are correct. That is their mistake. Let us

373
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: know how it turns out. Chris, I'm running any of

374
00:18:43,560 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 1: The Car Doctor. We're back right after this. Welcome back.

Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna bring it if it snows

384
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: or rains, and I doubt it's gonna snow, so that

385
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: only is one of the reason why it won't be there.

386
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: But we're gonna drag the hot rod up and have

393
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,840

394
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 1: Real quick piece of email. Hey, Ron, I've got Ford

395
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,200
Speaker 1: Explore with the heavy duty break package. It's real nice,

396
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: good trim, good wheels, and I need to get the

397
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: breaks done. My only complaint with the vehicle is that

398
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 1: the brakes are blah. What is blah? Oh, he says, boring, boring, blah, boring. Okay,

399
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: got it, Joe from Morristown, New Jersey. Is there anything

400
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: In addition, he says, is there anything I can do

401
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: to dress up the brakes? He said, beyond getting a

402
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: normal break repair done. He said, I understand about the

403
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: quality of brake pads, but I hear I heard you

404
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: recently talking about Okay, you heard me recently talking about

405
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 1: things to do to make brakes look better and more

406
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 1: attractive through factory wheels. What was that all about, Joe?

407
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: You're referencing the conversation we had about car Don and

408
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 1: car Don Ultra break calipers, and you can find out

409
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: more at cardon dot com. And if you recall, the

410
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: conversation with Cardon was about how they've done some pretty

411
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: extensive research into powder coating and making break calipers more appealing.

412
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: So if you're driving something as many cars today, the

413
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: wheels are more open, even with factory wheels that you

414
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: see more of the brake assembly. The idea behind it

415
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 1: is the car dome break calipers give you a nicer finish,

416
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: a cleaner finish, and is more of a polished look

417
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: to the brake assembly. So you're looking for information from

418
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: Cardoon dot com. You want to enquire about their ultra

419
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: premium brake calipers and what they can do for that

420
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: for to explore as well as all the other vehicles

421
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 1: out there on the road. Let's get back to the phones.

422
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: Let's go over to Kirby from Meryville with a two

423
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: thousand five Chevy Meryville, Missouri that looks like I'm sorry,

424
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: two thousand five Chevy and some questions about oil. Kurby,

425
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor, sir. How can I help? Hey, Hey,

426
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. You're welcome, Thanks for waiting.

427
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: What can I do for you? I have an No.

428
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: Five Chevy and it has the eight point one Leader

429
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: big block engine in it, and those usually around or so. UM,

430
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: you'll lose a little bit of oil, and I've always

431
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: just been told that's a nature. So I started using

432
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,400
Speaker 1: UM Lucas Heavy Eddy heavy Duty Engine Stabilizer in general

433
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 1: stabilizer UM. And my question is we've been talking about

434
00:21:57,800 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: going to all synthetical. Would you still need to use

435
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: like the Lucas with the synthetic oil or not. There

436
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 1: is an argument going on in the industry right now

437
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 1: because so many manufacturers are having issues with oil consumption.

438
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 1: And it's not that Chevrolet is among that list or

439
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: general motors in general, this particular line of vehicle. But

440
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 1: I first want to address the conversation about thinner or

441
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 1: thicker oil. And a lot of the conventional thinking is

442
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 1: if the engines burning oil, put thicker oil in it, right, Kirby,

443
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure that's what you've heard. You know

444
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: you want to you want to thicken up the viscosity. Right.

445
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: The issue is on some vehicles, and more than some,

446
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: it's it's becoming quite a few. They're running very low

447
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: tension rings, especially the oil ring, and the problem is

448
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: extended oil drain intervals they're finding are creating issues with

449
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: varnis and sludge build up inside the engine. That's one

450
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 1: of the reasons why the better oil manufacturers, among them

451
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: pens Oil, and that's that's sort of the basis for

452
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: the pens Oil UH Platinum plus line of synthetic oils,

453
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 1: where they're actually creating cleaner oil from a purer based stock.

454
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: They're working to reduce sludge in the engine. That's the

455
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: idea where that came from. UM. So, part of this

456
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: problem may not be that you can run a thicker

457
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,240
Speaker 1: oil to cut down on your oil consumption. It may

458
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: be that you're masking what could be a sludged up

459
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: or varnished up oil ring. Does that make sense? So

460
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: the next step is it may not be should you

461
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: run lucas with whatever synthetic you go to, but it

462
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 1: may be that you want to run a very high

463
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: cleansing synthetic for a couple of oil changes to see

464
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: if that frees up the varnish that may exist around

465
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: the oil rings itself. The problem becomes that making the

466
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: oil thicker when you don't need to, you can create

467
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 1: wear issues on a cold engine high load towing trailer ring.

468
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 1: You know that that kind of thing snow plowing depending

469
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: on what you're doing with the vehicle. So you know

470
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: it's it's I would tell you, like I tell everybody,

471
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: if you're looking for something in the way of a

472
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: good quality synthetic, first call, take a look at the

473
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: penns oil you can get at the motor Oil Reimagined

474
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: dot com. I was never so impressed as I was

475
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: two years ago when I went to the press release

476
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: here in New York City and saw the story of

477
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,000
Speaker 1: how they came to be with that and created the

478
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,160
Speaker 1: idea of the Platinum Pure Plus. And I still remember

479
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: standing here talking to the chemists about the whole idea.

480
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: They create the base stock from natural gas, and um,

481
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: it really is fascinating. And that's why if you're gonna

482
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: go with a synthetic and you've got this particular issue,

483
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: you're looking for something that will clean the engine, pens

484
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 1: oil is the first stop that I would take a

485
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: look at. All right, sir, all right, thank you for

Speaker 1: with a two thousand six four f one fifty and

509
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: some running issues. James, Welcome to the car doctor, Sir.

510
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: How can I help? Yes, they're working on two thousand

511
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 1: six four. It's got a little hesitation and pretty much

512
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: everybody in towns touch. Didn't they figured out yet? Okay?

513
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: Is this this is the four point two V six James,

514
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: check engine light on trouble codes. I don't have them

515
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: with me. They're on the toolbox at shop. Um. Do

516
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: you think maybe misfire fault was a misfire fault among them? Yes?

517
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: Or we don't put a coal on it, uh clause

518
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 1: And it's not going to be that. Um, it's not

519
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 1: going to be that. Anybody do any work to the

520
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: e g R. Consider that I did. I got on

521
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: along the other day and I was looking at that

522
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: deal there and I run a few tests on it,

523
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: and you know, and I couldn't really tell a difference

524
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: on it. Right, Um, what did you do? Disconnect the

525
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 1: e g R, disconnect the vacuum into the e g

526
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,120
Speaker 1: R valve and see if the problem went away? Right? Yeah,

527
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,639
Speaker 1: the issue here, and I'm you're you're aware of it.

528
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,439
Speaker 1: Let me just make the listeners. The The way they

529
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 1: distribute e g R on this particular engine is there

530
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 1: are pentel holes in the intake runners and they feed

531
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 1: e g R through a passage, and what happens is

532
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: the passages get carboned up, so it will dump all

533
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: of the e g R or excess e g R

534
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: into whatever pincils are open. What typically happens is it

535
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: down to the last two or one and now you're

536
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: forced feeding six cylinders worth of exhaust gas and trying

537
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 1: to recirculate it through one or two cylinders. Doesn't make

538
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 1: for a great deal in the way that the vehicle

539
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: is going to operate. So what the end up the

540
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: ramification or what the cure is is pulling the upper

541
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: intake plan them off and cleaning out the passages and reassembling.

542
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: They've probably got your chasing fuel trim James. Yeah, Um,

543
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: do you remember what fuel trim was? Long term, short

544
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:36,919
Speaker 1: term high low no difference. Yeah, I can't, I can't remember,

545
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,720
Speaker 1: but yeah, that's what That's what I told the customer.

546
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: You know that, uh, you know, we really need to

547
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: put that intake off there out and I'm I'm in agreement.

548
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna do this one of a couple

549
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 1: of ways. You either gonna pull the intake off and

550
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: clean it out and be sure because I'm sure this

551
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: is a higher mileage vehicle. It's ten years old, you know,

552
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: or at the very least, you're gonna clear all the codes.

553
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe you've done this, clear all the code,

554
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: disconnect the e g R valve and see how the

555
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: vehicle runs. If the vehicle runs good, but an e

556
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: g R fault comes back, you'll know why the valve's

557
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: not connected. Then it's a Then it's a real good indicator.

558
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: That all right. So with no e g R flow,

559
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: the engine is physically capable of operating and this isn't

560
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: something external from e g R. Have you tried that yet?

561
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: Try that that that'll sometimes, I mean, you know, listen,

562
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 1: I'm like you, Yeah, it's e g R. Let's pull

563
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: the intake. You know what, sometimes you gotta go that

564
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 1: extra step into a little diagnosis and um. You know,

565
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: one thing you may try is just make a pass

566
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: engine warmed up e g R operating, take a look

567
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: at fuel trim, try and record it. What sort of

568
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 1: scantal are you using, James, Yeah, so you can record

569
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,239
Speaker 1: in that. Take a look at your fuel trims, take

570
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: a look at the two sensors, see where they're going,

571
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:00,719
Speaker 1: and then disconnect the e you are and see if

572
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: it makes any change. And then after you find out

573
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: that yes it's an e g R code, no more misfire,

574
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: truck runs good, et cetera, et cetera, then when you

575
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: pull the intake off, clean everything up. Then go for

576
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 1: another drive and maybe you'll see a difference in fuel trims.

577
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,240
Speaker 1: And you know, I say this no other way, but

578
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you'll learn something. You'll see something different.

579
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: You'll go, ah ha, that's the tip, that's the clue.

580
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: That's how I'll know what it is the next time.

581
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 1: You know. But as much as I like to record

582
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: and graph things, see to the pant's diagnosis. If I

583
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: take this out of the system. Does the problem go away? Yeah,

584
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: well then that's the problem. And I would chase it

585
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,479
Speaker 1: like that for E g R. All right, so um,

586
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 1: let's let's let's leave it there. There's a bunch of

587
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: other things we could talk about, but let's leave it

588
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: there and see what that gets you. And if you're

589
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: still working on this next week you uh, well, actually

590
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: you can't talk to me next week. I'm sorry. We're

591
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: gonna be on a remote. But you call me the

592
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 1: week after we'll we'll get it fixed for you. All right, kiddy,

593
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: let me know what you find. All right, You take

594
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 1: good care. Yep. So let's let's real quick over to

595
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: Roger out and I think that's Iowa wants to talk about.

00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: I Um, I appreciate that, Roger, I really do you know?

601
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,760
Speaker 1: It's sometimes it's long days behind the microphone, and um

602
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,320
Speaker 1: it's nice to hear it from one or from many,

603
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:37,360
Speaker 1: but it's always nice to hear that people appreciate what

604
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: we're trying to do, and just to help people understand

605
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: their cars and you know, get them service properly and

606
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 1: keep them safe. I really mean that. I yes, sir,

607
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: I think we lost Roger. Oh okay, hey Roger listening.

Speaker 1: I want him to come on and talk a little

635
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,600

Speaker 1: over there. He will, UM, he'll have the inside scoop

640
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:43,800

Speaker 1: to find out what his exact procedure in New York. So, Harry,

642

00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: of that. You'll call Sonny okay, cool, So we'll do

644
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 1: that in two weeks um a couple of closing thoughts

645
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 1: and comments. We had a call this hour from Kirby

646
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: in Missouri, I believe it was, and we were talking

647
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: about oil consuming and you know, I'm not sure if

648
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: he liked my answer, understood my answer, agreed with my answer.

649
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: But the rest of that conversation about after you make

650
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: the switch depends oil synthetic. If he wants to do

651
00:34:11,920 --> 00:34:14,839
Speaker 1: something else and put the Lucas in afterwards, that's fine.

652
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 1: I'm okay with that, but you always follow some sort

653
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: of industry protocol. First. I had gone to dinner a

654
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago with a friend who is a

655
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: service writer service manager I'm sorry, in a local Toyota dealer,

656
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: and we were having a conversation about oil issues. And

657
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 1: his words to me were, too many people are changing

658
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: oil by the manufacturer's light. This is from the service

659
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: manager of a Toyota dealer. The longer oil change intervals,

660
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: I wrote it down verbatim. The longer oil change intervals

661
00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 1: are proving to create consumption issues in some vehicles because

662
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,280
Speaker 1: of baked and varnished oil in the rings pour oil control,

663
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: which leads to consumption. He said, it would be cheaper

664
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: to change the oil by time or mileage in the

665
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: long run, and the car companies would get better service

666
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: image as far as how good their product real he

667
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: is I I wrote that down. It's sitting right here

668
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 1: in front of me. Tom nod your head right, that's there.

669
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: It is um you know. So that's that's a direct

670
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:09,960
Speaker 1: quote from a guy who's in the field every day

671
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: dealing with the right dealing with the longer oil change

672
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,800
Speaker 1: intervals that the new car companies that the car companies

673
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 1: are creating for the car. So you know, it's staggering.

674
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 1: Real quick tidbit we talk about Denso here on the

675
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: show and dense O T T spark plugs and all

676
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: the Denso brings to the table. Well, you know they're

677
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: more than spark plugs. Recent press release, Denso has uh

678
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, improved their line of A C compressors, have

679
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: increased the numbers of parts and the press releases. Denso

680
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 1: is the leader of the development of innovative compressor technology.

681
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 1: As the largest supplier of A C compressors in the world.

682
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,480
Speaker 1: There o E experience and know how ensures Denso aftermarket

683
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: products provide unmatched performance, reliability, and these of installations you

684
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: expect from Denzo. This year, we've added fourteen new part

685
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: numbers through their program Denso A C Compressors. They now

686
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 1: cover six million vehicles and over two applications. That increases

687
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: their total offerings to five six part numbers. Think about that,

688
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 1: and that's one of the reasons that the Car Doctor

689
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,759
Speaker 1: likes them so as a part brand, because they're o

690
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 1: E at so many levels and they're working harder to

691
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: keep it up. And the car Doctor gives you a

692
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: tip of the wrench and says, thanks for doing your job.

693
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: You make my job easier. Until the next time I'm

694
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 1: mony in the car Doctor reminding you see a dead

695
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: man's curve. Good mechanics aren't expensive their places. See you
