Show Notes
It’s New Year’s and Ron jumps right into real-world problems: a Lexus with an intermittent no-start, brakes that squeal after new pads and rotors, dash lights and tire-pressure warnings that won’t behave, and a Kia oil leak after a quick-lube oil change. The hour wraps with a Silverado that keeps killing batteries in cold weather and Ron’s reminder to stop shopping repairs by phone quote. Diagnosis beats guessing—and good mechanics aren’t expensive, they’re priceless.
