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 how to find a highly qualified auto repair shop for your vehicle. Also on this show:

  • When it’s important to obtain a second opinion.
  • Common differences between different types of auto repair shops.
  • Why it’s important to find a shop that has made the investment into proper diagnostic tools.
  • 2010 Hyundai Sonata: A month after purchasing this vehicle used, I began noticing a whining sound during colder temperatures. Is this transmission related?
  • 1994 Ford F150: The clutch on this truck is having issues. I was told that this truck had problems with the air pressure. Is it possible that this is the only thing wrong?
  • 2008 Hyundai Accent: I’ve replaced the clutch twice in a year on this car. Is this my error or something the shop is doing wrong?
  • 2008 Dodge Magnum: My car is hesitating to start at times regardless of the temperature. My mechanic wants to wait until the problem gets worse. What are your thoughts?
  • 1997 Buick Century: Do you have any advice on how to permanently fix my window regulator?
