Todays show finds host Ron Ananian, the Car Doctor, offering advice and insights on automotive repairs. The show includes a mix of casual conversation, technical advice, and listener call-ins.

In the episode, Ron discusses several topics, including the costs of automotive repairs. He shares a story about a customer with a 2010 Lincoln MKX whose seemingly simple repair—a passenger-side rearview mirror replacement—became a much bigger job, requiring new tires due to damage from hitting a pothole. Ron explains the challenges of maintaining an all-wheel-drive vehicle with uneven tire wear and suggests replacing all four tires for better performance, despite the higher cost.

The show also highlights the rising costs of vehicles, noting that a new Chevy Suburban now costs around $68,000, making a $2,000 repair bill seem more reasonable in comparison. Ron encourages listeners to consider the bigger picture when it comes to vehicle maintenance and repair costs.

The episode includes a call from a listener, Dave, who asks about routine maintenance beyond the usual oil changes and filter replacements. Ron emphasizes the importance of maintaining parts like O2 sensors, mass airflow sensors, and batteries, explaining how regular maintenance can help prevent expensive repairs down the road.

Another call comes from Maureen, who asks about a coolant issue in her 2003 Pontiac Grand Am. Ron advises her to monitor the coolant level and ensure it's consistently topped up, suggesting further investigation if the level drops continuously. He also highlights the potential need for replacing the coolant reservoir if it's too contaminated to read the level accurately.
