Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor - July 4, 2026 - Hour 1 - Automotive Couples Counseling - Ron Ananian The Car Doctor

Automotive Couples Counseling

Can a husband and wife experience the exact same car problem and remember it completely differently? This week on The Car Doctor, Ron Ananian explains why the most valuable diagnostic tool in his shop isn't a scan tool, lab scope, or smoke machine-it's the chair in front of the service counter. After listening to a couple describe an intermittent stalling problem from two very different perspectives, Ron discovers that the missing clue wasn't under the hood at all. It was hidden in their story.

Also this week, Ron helps a listener decide whether to restore a beloved 7.3L Ford Power Stroke with over 300,000 miles or move on to a newer truck, tackles a mysterious engine failure after questionable fuel finds its way into a late-model Silverado, explains an unusual Toyota Camry touchscreen problem, and answers a mailbag question about a Honda Accord that began overheating after collision repairs.

Sometimes the best repair starts with a conversation.
