Anna Marie's Sunday Focus

Nashville Symphony's 2026 Season Has Something For YOU

Anna learns something about cars, how they work, and how to keep them working from Charlie Dubois, lead technician of Good Honest Mechanic in Hendersonville, TN.

Charlie includes things you need to know about your car that are COMPLETELY different from cars just a few years ago. What systems are being run from computers, and what happens if the computer needs a tweak?  Plus, things that wear out and can cause a LOT of damage if you’re not having them checked when you should.  When you fill the car, do you stop fueling up when the pump handle clicks off, or do you click it a couple more times to make sure it’s full? One is the right way, the other is dangerous to you and to your auto.  Save yourself some headaches and money with this car information

Beaman Park is in Bloom for Spring

As many Nashvillians and Middle Tennesseans continue to rebuild after our massive ice storm, Anna chats with someone who knows all about insurance claims.   The guest is Kevin Walters, spokesperson for the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance who advises you on the importance of filing claims rather than just rather than just waiting/hoping for FEMA checks that many never come.  He offers info to  help you file correctly, as some  just don't understand their homeowners' insurance policy. He also tells you what to do if you feel you've been wrongly denied a claim.
