Bumper to Bumper Radio, the car guys on KTAR, 92.3 FM in Phoenix, AZ, broadcast every Saturday from 11:00 am to noon. On this show, Dave Riccio of Tri-City Transmission in Tempe, AZ talks about the ways to choose an honest and knowledgeable auto repair shop in your area. Also on this show:

• The consequences of choosing a shop based on a price quote.
• The importance of forming a relationship with your repair shop.
• What resources are available to assist you in picking the right shop?
• 1988 Corvette: After shifting into 2nd gear, my transmission is starting to slip. What is causing this?
• 1997 Ford F-350: My running lights aren’t working unless this truck is in reverse. Is there a simple fix to this?
• 2004 Ford Explorer: While turning on my heat or AC, I’ve noticed a jump in acceleration. Any idea why this happens?
• 2004 GMC: At 35mph, my speedometer reads 85mph. What factors affect my speedometer?
• 1994 Toyota Camry: This car broke down recently after a “hammering sound” coming from the engine. It has over 270k miles, is this repairable or even worth repairing?
• 2007 Ford Crown Victoria: I’m trying to trade this car in, but then discovered there was a rollback on the odometer. What is the best way to move forward with this legally?
• 2001 Ford Mustang GT: A list of repairs need to be made to this car- at what point should I decide it’s no longer worth keeping?
• 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Last Summer I noticed the check engine light come on, and my vehicle would have issues downshifting. What does this error code mean?
• 2004 Honda Civic: My temperature gauge reads a little under halfway even after a long trip. Is this a sensor issue?
