Ron Ananian opens Hour 1 of The Car Doctor with the now-famous shop swear jar story and what it says about repair shop culture, professionalism, and doing things the right way. Plus: converting the factory A/C on a 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, a listener story about a 1967 Rambler overheating from sand left in the engine block, scan tool advice for a Mercedes diesel Sprinter, and a real-world repair lesson from a 2019 Ford Escape where one shortcut created a much bigger problem. Classic cars, diagnostics, shop stories, and practical car advice—Car Advice, Done Right.
