Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor - Classic Car Doctor - August 22, 2015 - 11 Years Later—Still the Same Car Problems

Ron Ananian The Car Doctor

Classic Car Doctor – August 22, 2015 (Hour 2)

Take a step back 11 years and see what drivers were dealing with in the repair shop—and how much (or how little) has changed.

Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor, opens the hour asking a critical question: how well do you know your vehicle in an emergency? From there, it’s real calls and real advice—extended warranty decisions on a 2013 Ford F-150, clutch repair on a 2004 Toyota RAV4, and a smart discussion on Toyota Prius battery life.

Plus, is brake caliper cleaning on a 2014 Ford Flex necessary—or just oversold? And what’s really behind alignment issues on a 2008 Toyota Highlander?

It’s a snapshot of the cars, concerns, and conversations from 11 years ago—and a reminder that good car advice never goes out of style.

Good mechanics aren’t expensive — they’re priceless.
