Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor - Classic Car Doctor - August 29, 2015 - Shop Time, Strange Noises & Real Repairs

Classic Car Doctor - August 29, 2015 (Hour 1) Take a ride back to August 29, 2015, and hear what was happening in the bays—and on the phones—11 years ago on Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor Radio Show. Ron opens the hour with a simple but loaded question: how long should it really take to repair an Acura? It’s a conversation that still rings true today—about labor time, expectations, and the realities of modern auto repair. From there, it’s a full lineup of real-world problems: A classic 1969 Mustang with a clutch pedal that intermittently sticks to the floor A 2000 Subaru Forester showing signs of a possible coolant leak A 2004 Mercury Monterey with a squealing noise at idle And a 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche with a lifter tap that only shows up at 2000 RPM It’s a snapshot of the cars, concerns, and diagnostic thinking from over a decade ago—and a reminder that while vehicles change, the fundamentals of good diagnosis never do. Car advice, done right—then and now.
