What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I started listening to this podcast over a year ago and I’ve got to say it’s one of a kind. I love cars but just have never really had the opportunity to learn about them or get any hands on experience. Because all the hosts are super knowledgeable and experienced I use this podcast as a learning tool for myself. It’s the closest someone can get to figuring out what’s wrong with their car without having it actually looked at by a mechanic. Thanks guys!

goodgortho · Oct 2025

Love this show. I learn a lot about cars and how to think about diagnosing common problems. The hosts do so in an entertaining and clean manner. Quite refreshing.

HamborgS · Aug 2024

I've been listening to this show for over 15 years. These guys are great communicators and knowledgeable mechanics. I have call the show with car questions and send them numerous emails. Every time, they have answered my questions with great detail and accuracy. Love the show. PTLA FELLAS.

Wilson3707 · Aug 2024

This podcast takes second place behind CarTalk. The hosts are very knowledgeable and helpful. This is overall a good show. The bottom line: If you are an automotive gearhead, or just want to diagnose a problem with your car, this show is very helpful. If you know absolutely nothing about cars, you might get a little bit lost.

Hullo08 · Nov 2023

You all seem to have a lot more knowledge than some of the other podcast I have listened to. And I really like the way you present the show and I like the family aspect of it. I can listen to it in the truck or car with the family and not have to be worried about what we hear. Thank you all for providing a great service. all though disclaimer states it is only for entertainment value lol PTLA Jim Johns

Tool Man AR · Sep 2023

The show already had a significant ad load when it was just the host read ads, now they have starts including absolutely dreadful automatically inserted non host read ads. To me this takes the show from a solid and enjoyable experience, and transforms it to being almost unlistenable. Insert ads are ruining this show.
