This episode of the car show is a must-listen for anyone who's ever dealt with the frustration of trying to get parts for their vehicle. Dane shares a personal anecdote about a customer who was stranded on the side of the road due to a faulty exhaust clamp, which was being held back by a manufacturer's recall. This led to a discussion about the current state of the automotive industry and the challenges of getting parts, especially since the pandemic.

Dane talks about how manufacturers are making it harder to get parts, and how this is affecting car owners. He shares his own experience with a 2020 Ford, where he had to wait for a recall to be resolved before getting a replacement part. He emphasizes the importance of being proactive and getting maintenance done on time, especially with the increasing complexity of modern cars.

Dane also answers listener questions, including one from a Toyota owner who's wondering about the best time to change their transmission fluid. He advises against flushing the entire system, but recommends a drain and fill instead, to avoid potential issues. Another listener asks about a brake problem with their Honda Pilot, and the host suggests checking the vacuum line as a possible cause.

This episode is a great reminder to be aware of the challenges facing car owners today and to take proactive steps to maintain our vehicles. If you're experiencing issues with your car, tune in to hear the host's expert advice and insights.
