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 getting the most out of using a car coupon for auto repair. Also on this show:

  • Are car repair coupons legitimate?
  • Always read the fine print on your auto repair coupon
  • What is the best coupon for auto repair?
  • Look for a coupon that gives you a discount on a specific repair instead of naming a price
  • Beware of bait and switch coupons that only get you in the repair shop and then find out you need a more expensive service or repair
  • 2006 Toyota Sienna: The cruise control switch on the steering column is broken and I’m wondering if that’s something I can repair myself?
  • 2007 Chevy Aveo: the air compressor went out and we received two different quotes that are about $500 apart from each other. How do I know which service will be better?
  • Always get a line by line repair estimate when comparing quotes from different shops
  • 2011 Chevy Silverado: I want to install a Flow Master on my truck and I’m wondering what is the difference between single and double tips?
  • What does “technician certified” mean?
  • Where can I get a cheap windshield for my car?
  • 2000 Toyota MR2 20,000 miles: I want to buy this car but it’s been sitting in a garage for quite a while. I’m wondering what goes bad on a car with time?
  • 1999 Lexus SC400: I needed to get the radiator replaced and thought I needed additional service. Whitey’s Auto not only did a great job at a decent price on the radiator but they examined the car to reveal that I didn’t need some of the things I thought I did. They were very honest with me and I’m happy to know they’re one of your recommended shops.
  • 2011 Chevy Express: Every few days the blower won’t turn on and I’m not sure if there’s a loose connection on the blower motor?
  • 2002 Chrysler Town and Country: My van isn’t starting and I’ve checked and replaced a lot of different components including the fuel pump relay but I’m still having a problem.

Cars talked about on this show are 2006 Toyota Sienna, 2007 Chevy Aveo, 2011 Chevy Silverado, 2000 Toyota MR2, 1999 Lexus SC400, 2011 Chevy Express , and the 2002 Chrysler Towne and Country.
