What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I do most of my own car repairs, this is both out of necessity and choice. I am perpetually poor and I like to make sure the job is done right. Ron is extremely accessible and provides the amount of guidance and pep talk that I need to tackle these automotive tasks in my driveway. As far as I can tell this is the only car show whose host actively operates their own auto repair business and STILL WORKS ON CARS for a living.

CapitalTruck · Dec 2023

Great show very informative, positive view point automotive maintenance. Great trade & skill information that applies to aviation, I use a lot of Ron’s information as an aviation mechanic instructor for my students. Especially troubleshooting skills and attitude and approach to troubleshooting.
