Bumper to Bumper Radio, the car guys on KTAR, 92.3 FM in Phoenix, AZ, broadcast every Saturday from 11:00 am to noon. On this show, Dave Riccio of Tri-City Transmission in Tempe, AZ and Matt Allen of Virginia Auto Service in Phoenix, AZ talk about the ways to choose an honest and knowledgeable auto repair shop in your area. Also on this show:

• The consequences of choosing a shop based on a price quote.
• The importance of forming a relationship with your repair shop.
• What resources are available to assist you in picking the right shop?
• 1988 Corvette: After shifting into 2nd gear, my transmission is starting to slip. What is causing this?
• 1997 Ford F-350: My running lights aren’t working unless this truck is in reverse. Is there a simple fix to this?
• 2004 Ford Explorer: While turning on my heat or AC, I’ve noticed a jump in acceleration. Any idea why this happens?
• 2004 GMC: At 35mph, my speedometer reads 85mph. What factors affect my speedometer?
• 1994 Toyota Camry: This car broke down recently after a “hammering sound” coming from the engine. It has over 270k miles, is this repairable or even worth repairing?
• 2007 Ford Crown Victoria: I’m trying to trade this car in, but then discovered there was a rollback on the odometer. What is the best way to move forward with this legally?
• 2001 Ford Mustang GT: A list of repairs need to be made to this car- at what point should I decide it’s no longer worth keeping?
• 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee: Last Summer I noticed the check engine light come on, and my vehicle would have issues downshifting. What does this error code mean?
• 2004 Honda Civic: My temperature gauge reads a little under halfway even after a long trip. Is this a sensor issue?
