Have you ever been frozen out of your own vehicle before in winter? tell us about it!

Winter freeze-ups can lock you out faster than a weld bead cooling on steel. In todays Car Connection Workshop episode, Motormouth breaks down two essential freeze-out prevention hacks every driver needs before the temps drop overnight.

We're talking:

1) Heavy - duty silicone spray on all door and entry seals-stop rubber from freezing tighter than a welding rod.

2) PB Blaster in locks , hinges and tumblers-the locksmith approved defence against frozen cylinders and snapped door handles. ( And no...they still don't pay for the show. yet.)

With today's keyless - entry world, we get lazy about using the key-until a thaw-and-freeze cycle turns your doors into Fort Knox. this episode will save seals, save handles, and save headaches.

Question : "what's ONE winter problem you've dealt with before-battery, exhaust , or timing belt? In today's episode of the Car Connection Workshop Podcast, we're talking about The Big Three winter must-checks that most drivers ignore until it's too late:

1) Battery testing - cold weather kills weak batteries FAST

2) Exhaust system inspection - leaks can send carbon monoxide into your cabin

3) Timing belts - especially on interference engines ( breaks = engine damage = $$$)

If your vehicle uses a timing belt , know the replacement interval and change it EARLY. And remember - interference engines and broken belts don't get along. Pistons meet valves, and suddenly you're shopping for an engine you never budgeted for. Plus-DO NOT blast through deep winter puddles, Water can get behind the timing cover, freeze overnight, and destroy the belt the next time you start the engine. A little preventative maintenance, right now, can save thousands and keep you safe all winter long.

Fix it BUT don't spend any money, words I would hear quite often a repair shop owner, one day I will write that book from a service tech's perspective, till then listen up friends... In this episode of the Car Connection Workshop Podcast, we're talking about something most people overlook: the MOST reliable and most affordable vehicle in your driveway is the one that's already paid for. Before you give your old jalopy the stink-eye and send it to the crusher, take a second look:

1) no payments

2)no interest

3)body is solid

4)engine and transmission still strong

Instead of replacing it, invest a little time and a little maintenance-regular oil changes, fluids, brakes, belts, and small repairs to stay ahead of problems and save yourself THOUSANDS compared to buying "new to you" Today's car loans run 6-7 years with wild interest rates. Even a $4,000 repair is cheaper than years of payments. why not treat your older ride like a brand -new one and keep more of your money right where it belongs-IN YOUR POCKET? If you're trying to get through today's economy without drowning in payments, THIS is the episode you can't miss. "Fix it, don't finance it. the smartest investment you can make today is the vehicle already parked in your driveway." "Tomorrow morning I'm in the shop shooting THREE new YouTube videos, so make sure you're subscribed across every platform. Big things coming!"

This Morning on Motormouth Drive Time, we explore one of the biggest mindset shifts any driver can make: What if...you actually subscribed to preventative vehicle maintenance? what would your daily drive look like? What headaches, heartaches, and hard earned cash could you save? Today, we unpack the mindset shift that keeps you on the road, out of the shop, and ahead of preventable breakdowns.This episode is dedicated to my friend Jenn, who recently had her well - maintained 2018 Jeep JK written off after another driver failed to stop at a stop sign - just minutes from home. Even in the middle of that frustration and loss, her commitment to maintenance paid off: she stayed safe, and she rolled into a gorgeous 2025 Jeep Wrangler this past Saturday. And like a true preventative - maintenance champion, she asked " Motormouth, should I get the rustproofing done before bringing it home?" My answer? YES, plus yes Times yes, divided by yes. Equals YES. If you've ever wondered if preventative maintenance is worth your time and money, today's episode shows you the real = life benefits - from long - term savings to long - term safety - that come from simply changing your mindset and saying " Motormouth , I'm all in." Jenn received top dollar for her 2018 by her insurance company why? the adjuster said to her your Jeep is in amazing condition!! Huh! Get you some of that eh!
