Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor – Memorial Day & Auto Advice

Ron opens the show by previewing next weekend’s Memorial Day episode, which will again feature archived interviews with his late Uncle Steve—a WWII P-51 fighter pilot. This tradition honors veterans and reminds listeners of the deeper meaning behind the holiday.

Listener Calls:


Frank (2019 Honda Touchscreen Issue):
Ron advises against disconnecting the battery and recommends a professional diagnostic at the dealership. Documenting the issue is key in case of future recalls or warranty updates.


Mike (1978 Mercury Marquis Revival):
For this low-mileage classic car, Ron stresses proper prep before starting: check oil, prime the engine manually, clean the fuel system, and inspect cylinders to avoid damage.


Bob (2008 Range Rover Transmission Issue):
With over 240,000 miles, Ron recommends a full code-based diagnosis before considering solenoid repair or full transmission replacement.

Final Thoughts:

The show blends technical advice with heartfelt reflection, as Ron uses his platform to promote careful diagnostics and meaningful Memorial Day remembrance through stories like Uncle Steve’s.
