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 things you should check on your car before the summer hits. Also on this show:

  • Avoid tires shredding and blowing by getting them checked regularly especially before the hot months arrive
  • When should I replace my tires?
  • Get your radiator and coolant system checked before the summer
  • When should I get my belts and hoses replaced?
  • I've been told that my coolant is good for 100,000 miles. Is this true?
  • 1999 Ford Mustang: Is there a way I can get the factory security system turned off on my car?
  • 2010 Nissan Titan: Does a "bumper to bumper" warranty really cover everything?
  • 2005 Dodge Caravan: What is the difference in the different color coolants?
  • 2012 Jeep Liberty: Between 50-55mph there's a terrible shaking feeling and I'm told it's the tires even though I've been getting them rotated regularly.
  • My car has 175,000 miles and I'm wondering if I should service the transmission and can I use the fluid that already exists?
  • Can I turn my heater on to cool my car off if it's over-heating?
  • 2007 Toyota Camry: There's a puff of blue smoke when I turn on the car in the morning and I was told I'm using the wrong oil. Is this true?
