This weekend on Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor, Ron talks Memorial Day travel, record numbers of drivers hitting the road, and why fuel economy is about more than just the price at the pump. From tire pressure and fuel system cleaning to overlooked maintenance that quietly wastes gas, Ron explains the simple things drivers can do right now to save fuel, avoid breakdowns, and make summer driving safer. Plus, advice on wiper blades, cooling systems, emergency road gear, and why the best defense on a busy holiday weekend is a good offense when it comes to vehicle maintenance.
Then, in the second half of the hour, Ron welcomes Benjamin Ciesielski from CRC Industries for a conversation focused on electrical connection maintenance and why clean battery terminals and electrical connectors matter more than most drivers realize. They discuss corrosion, voltage drop, intermittent electrical problems, proper cleaning techniques, and the specialty cleaners and protectants used in today’s repair shops to keep modern vehicle electronics operating reliably. It’s a practical look at one of the most overlooked maintenance areas on today’s cars and trucks.
Practical car care, real-world repair insight, and conversations that help drivers better understand the machines they depend on every day.
