This week on the car show, Dane Donovan from Donovan's Auto Care is sharing some valuable insights on car maintenance and repair. He's also giving away a free AC service to listeners who bring their vehicles in for an inspection. But that's not all - Dane is also talking about the importance of understanding how your car's AC system works, and how it can be a complex and frustrating process to diagnose and repair.

Dane is joined by several callers who have questions about their own car issues, including a gentleman who wants to replace just the AC clutch on his compressor, and a woman who's concerned about her Kia Soul's oil consumption. Dane offers some sage advice on how to maintain your car's engine and prevent costly repairs down the line. He also recommends checking your oil level regularly, especially if you have a Kia or Hyundai, as these vehicles are prone to oil consumption.

One of the key takeaways from this episode is the importance of understanding how your car's AC system works. Dane explains that it's not just a matter of filling up the system with freon, but rather a complex process that requires specialized equipment and expertise. He also talks about the common issue of oil consumption in newer vehicles, and how it can lead to costly repairs if not addressed.

If you're a car owner who's ever wondered why your AC isn't working, or why your oil light is on, this episode is a must-listen. Dane offers some practical advice and insights that will help you understand your car's systems and prevent costly repairs. Tune in to hear the full episode and learn how to keep your car running smoothly all summer long.
