Bumper to Bumper Radio, the car guys on KTAR, 92.3 FM in Phoenix, AZ, broadcast every Saturday from 11:00 am to noon.

Also on this show:

• The negative effects of auto repair shops that aren’t equipped to maintain modern vehicles.
• Why timing belts and other parts are often oversold.
• How often should you be checking you cabin air filter?
• How to avoid being oversold or having your car over maintained.
• The negative aspects of the culture at some dealerships.
• Why a bad battery can be the number one reason for issues in other systems of your vehicle.
• Why a battery that starts your vehicle could still be holding your car back from running its best.
• 2015 Ford F150: My truck hesitated to back up while camping last weekend. Could this be a sign of a transmission issue?
• 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser: I’ve spent over $1,500 trying to get my check engine light to turn off. What’s the next thing I should try?
• 2010 Ford Focus: After taking this vehicle to the dealership for an airbag recall, the dealership recommended a transmission and brake fluid flush. At such low mileage is this possible?
• 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe: When should I be concerned about changing my timing belt?
• 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Is 10k too large an increment for oil changes?
