In Wheel Time Car Talk

Unlock the secrets to cutting vehicle ownership costs with Kevin Fitzpatrick from Opus IVS, who joins us to unveil the power of diagnostic software in modern cars. As we navigate through anecdotes of boating escapades and local sports fervor, we promise you a session brimming with insights that could save you money on your car maintenance. Imagine diagnosing your car like a pro, avoiding hefty repair bills, and even sailing smoothly through state inspections—this conversation is just the tip of the iceberg.

Ever been irked by that persistent lane departure beep? We tackle the nuances of vehicle calibration, the necessity of specialized chips for vintage car performance tunes, and the complexities of custom dyno tunes. Moreover, we emphasize the critical importance of training for technicians working on electric vehicles, ensuring safety isn't compromised. And if you think the annoyance of lane departure systems is just a trivial matter, wait until you hear our take on it.

The journey doesn't end there—we steer into a provocative discussion on how your driving behavior might be pocketing or plundering your wallet, especially if you're a young male under 25. Delve into the world of data collection from in-car devices to systems like OnStar, and confront the privacy concerns they raise. 

In our New Car Feature segment, Don Armstrong spent the week with a new Cadillac Escalade and he is sharing his thoughts on this full-size luxury SUV.

This episode is your ticket to an automotive and lifestyle adventure, so why just dream about it when you can be part of the action?
