Also on this show:

  • The warning signs of failing brake components.
  • Why certain vehicles wear out brakes quicker than others.
  • What you should expect to pay for a quality routine brake job.
  • 1999 GMC Sierra: My catalytic converter has recently gone bad. Do I need to replace this with an original part?
  • 2006 Jeep Wrangler: While accelerating I notice my RPMs climbing without any real output. Is this a problem with my clutch?
  • 2000 Acura Integra: There are random misfires in all 4 cylinders during the colder temperatures. What could be causing this?
  • 2005 Chevrolet Equinox: My ABS and Traction Control lights come on while braking. There's also some vibration in the brake pedal. Have you seen this issue before?
  • 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee: I've noticed a tapping noise coming from my engine. It was recomended that I replace $3,800 worth of parts. Does this seem reasonable for a car of this age?
