About this episode

Ron Ananian discusses road trip preparation and offers automotive advice, including engine comparisons and listener questions.

Don't Let the Little Things Ruin Your Trip Before you head out for your next road trip, Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor, has one simple question: Do you know where your wheel lock key is? It sounds like a small detail—until a flat tire leaves you stranded hundreds of miles from home. Ron shares a real-world story that proves the little things can quickly become big problems when you're on the road. Also this week, Ron helps a listener choose between Ford's 2.7L EcoBoost and the legendary 5.0L V8, works through no-start problems on both a classic Mazda pickup and a Nissan Titan, catches up with Wall Stadium racer Quinn Trimmer for a mid-season racing update, and answers a listener's question about costly oil leaks on an aging Subaru. Whether you're traveling across town or across the country, a little preparation—and a little automotive knowledge—can save you time, money, and a whole lot of aggravation. 🌐Visit: CarDoctorShow.com 📸 Follow Ron on Instagram: @ronananian 🎥 Watch repair tips and shop videos on YouTube 📻 Join the conversation LIVE Saturdays 2–4 PM Eastern     See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
