Classic Car Doctor – August 22, 2015

Take a ride back with us and see how car problems—and the way we solve them—have evolved over time.

Ron kicks off the hour talking about the great American road trip and what it meant then versus now. From there, the phones light up with a wide range of issues that still feel familiar today.

We tackle an electrical problem on a 1982 Chevelle, revisit the Volkswagen airbag recall that had everyone talking, and help a caller decide whether a 2010 Toyota Prius is a smart used car purchase.

There’s also a call on a 1994 Toyota Pickup struggling to get into gear, plus a discussion on a surprising article about remote start systems—vehicles starting themselves while parked in the garage.

It’s a snapshot of the past with lessons that still apply today—because while the cars may change, the questions never really do.

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