On this show, Matt Allen of Virginia Auto Service in Phoenix, AZ talks about cooler weather and tire pressure, getting a windshield done right, and why the best car for you is often the one you already own. Also on this show:

Why cooler weather drops tire pressure, and why to set your pressure to two or three pounds over the door sticker.
Story about a windshield replacement that leaked, and why a water test is not always the right check.
Before new tires, ask about your suspension, and whether an alignment is due.
Why cooler weather can make seals and fluids contract and cause noises or small leaks.
