It's worse than I ever 17 00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.799 imagined when I started looking into it. It is augh. 18 00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:18.040 It is a giant, giant mess and it could end 19 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:23.959 up getting a lot of people in trouble from identity theft. 20 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.959 But first, let's talk to Sharon about a fence issue. 21 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:31.040 Yet wants to talk about a washer from appliance factory, 22 00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:33.040 and we used to get a lot of complaints about 23 00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:35.239 a flying's factory. And then we have Doug wants to 24 00:01:35.239 --> 00:01:38.079 talk about reversals. So Sharon, what's going on with your fence? 25 00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.079 Well, I guess it probably started. I mean last year. 26 00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.120 I had a fence built last year on one side 27 00:01:47.120 --> 00:01:49.159 of my art beautiful fans, beautiful job. 28 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:50.480 Okay, problems. 29 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.920 Decided to hire the same company for the same guy 30 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.359 to do the fence between mine and my neighbor's yard. Okay, 31 00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:03.400 gave him money for materials, which I know shouldn't do 32 00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:04.599 that up front, but I had no. 33 00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:09.120 You had you had history with this guy, right, yes? Yes? 34 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.759 What did you pay up front. 35 00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.000 Between the two of us? Slightly over three thousand dollars? 36 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:19.080 Oh wait, did you were you on yesterday? We didn't 37 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.719 finish or was that somebody else? 38 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:22.120 Okay? 39 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.000 What's the name of this fence guy? 40 00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:30.000 Well, the current company name is Porous Peel r R 41 00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:31.759 As Exteriors. 42 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.039 Now what was he when you hired him before? 43 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.039 Dex and Moore?

I mean, if the guy was 52 00:02:56.039 --> 00:02:58.280 the owner, it shouldn't have mattered. Who what what's the 53 00:02:58.280 --> 00:02:59.120 guy's name again? 54 00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:09.960 Well, his name is Raoul Amaze Amazelle Zeal actually the 55 00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:13.240 owner of the company. He hasn't been the owner of 56 00:03:13.280 --> 00:03:15.280 the the companies of the like. 57 00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:17.080 I've done some research there. 58 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.479 But when you called back, did you call back the 59 00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.680 company or did you call back Raoul? 60 00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:24.080 I called? 61 00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.960 Okay, got you and Raoul was then working Okay, but 62 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:30.520 Raoul was working for another company at the time. 63 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:36.120 Yes, but the same people, the same woman owns this company. 64 00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:39.000 That wait, the same woman owns this one that owned 65 00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:44.360 the last one. Yes, okay, okay wow. 66 00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.759 And then I then after after our money appeared to 67 00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.719 have disappeared, I started doing a lot some research. 68 00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:51.960 On Now what do you mean disappeared? 69 00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:56.680 I mean he he was gonna this was just before 70 00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.599 the fourth of July that we gave him money.

Blah blah blah, back and forth, 75 00:04:10.719 --> 00:04:12.919 back and forth over a period of like a month, 76 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:14.319 lots of rinces. 77 00:04:14.520 --> 00:04:18.279 So you paid him personally or did you pay the company? 78 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:19.680 Or do you not know? Really? 79 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:23.639 I wrote, well, we wrote each of us. Myself and 80 00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:27.319 my neighbor each wrote a check to Andrea Porus, who 81 00:04:27.399 --> 00:04:28.720 is the woman who owns a company. 82 00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:30.360 Oh okay, okay. 83 00:04:30.519 --> 00:04:35.800 He came back to me to get additional materials and 84 00:04:35.839 --> 00:04:38.079 got another check for me, and that one was written 85 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:38.879 directly to him. 86 00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:43.639 Okay, So how many two checks for how much were 87 00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:44.879 made out to Andrea? 88 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:46.600 Okay? 89 00:04:47.279 --> 00:04:49.680 I made out a check for eleven hundred and sixty 90 00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:56.319 five dollars, and my neighbor paid twelve hundred half you know, 91 00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.079 her hat, half of her hat. 92 00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:04.360 So basically twelve twelve. We're basically twelve and twelve, so okay. 93 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.360 And then he came back to me for another check 94 00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:11.079 the next day of seven hundred dollars, So I have 95 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:13.199 paid him a total of eighteen hundred something. 96 00:05:13.240 --> 00:05:15.000 She's something. 97 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:20.279 This is wrong? Oh god? So do you think Rayuel 98 00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.560 is a cheat? Or do you think she's a cheat? 99 00:05:22.600 --> 00:05:23.360 Who's the cheat? 100 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.399 I think they both are because when I started doing 101 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:32.040 some research after it appeared that my money had disappeared 102 00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.160 and he wasn't going to bring materials, I'm finding several 103 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.319 different company names with their names attached to them, different 104 00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.480 aliases that they have used, different names that they have 105 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.279 used over a period of years. I've found a judgment 106 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:49.360 in Douglas County with someone who had a judgment. 107 00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.680 So where's this guy? Now, Let's just have no idea. 108 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.360 I have no idea. He won't, He won't communicate with 109 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:56.079 us anymore. 110 00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:58.560 He does it? Does his phone still work? 111 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:01.680 I can leave a message? 112 00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:04.360 So his phone still works? 113 00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:08.680 I guess I assume. I mean we can call and 114 00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:11.040 leave messages. He just there's no return. 115 00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:14.480 Does he say hello, this is Raoul to rip off? 116 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:15.879 Or does he not say anything? 117 00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:20.199 No, no, just Raoul? You know, leave a message kind 118 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:20.480 of thing. 119 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:23.120 Does he say Raoul? In other words, if I called 120 00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:24.720 right now, I could leave a message. 121 00:06:25.920 --> 00:06:28.439 I don't know if it actually says Raoul, or if 122 00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.800 it's one of those standard messages that you know, you 123 00:06:30.839 --> 00:06:35.040 get on the phone and you've reached this number. I 124 00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:37.360 can't remember. It's been so darn long since I've tried 125 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:39.839 to call him, because he's just not returning any phone calls. 126 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:42.399 The last thing I did was I don't know what 127 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:46.000 we do? Did you email address? And two text messages 128 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:48.839 to the two phone numbers I have for him, all right, 129 00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.839 saying please return our money by this date. It appears 130 00:06:51.839 --> 00:06:52.480 you're not going to do this. 131 00:06:52.839 --> 00:06:55.319 Let's just see if we can get someone to make 132 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.000 some phone calls to see if they can reach him 133 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.240 or her. It sounds like you got ripped off by both, 134 00:07:01.639 --> 00:07:06.079 So let's give this to somebody and and let him 135 00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.000 at least make a few phone calls. This sucks, Sharon, 136 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.839 but you know what. It goes along with a post 137 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:16.920 I made not long ago on social media and one 138 00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:23.959 that really we should recap.

Months after a warranty expires. You 219 00:11:42.159 --> 00:11:44.440 just can't. Is it throwing an error code? 220 00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:49.360 Well, yeah, I mean we kind of. We have a 221 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:54.679 service tech out here and he misdiagnosed it, and yeah, 222 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.519 so we're pretty sure it's the control board. 223 00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:59.960 It was nothing. 224 00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:04.960 Nothing is actuating to spin the valves, the drain, the pump, 225 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:11.000 the all, that's that's not the issue.

I'm Tom 255 00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:39.759 Martino by the way, Jeff Fix with a Skimmer transmission. 256 00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:42.679 Also Griffin Ash from Action Automobile. I do have a 257 00:13:42.759 --> 00:13:45.120 question for you guys in a minute here, Doug, go 258 00:13:45.120 --> 00:13:47.759 ahead with this question on reverse loans. What's happening? 259 00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:49.519 Yeah, good morning, Tom. 260 00:13:49.759 --> 00:13:53.200 Hey, I have a question about that reverse mortgage. What 261 00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:53.600 are the. 262 00:13:53.720 --> 00:13:56.480 Pros and cons of a reverse mortgage? 263 00:13:57.120 --> 00:13:57.480 Fees? 264 00:13:57.679 --> 00:13:59.799 And one of the tax implications? 265 00:14:00.320 --> 00:14:03.879 Okay, there are no tax implications for any of the 266 00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:07.279 money you receive. It's not considered income because it is 267 00:14:07.480 --> 00:14:12.759 a loan. Okay, Now, now what else did you need 268 00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:16.399 to know? Though? Because it's truly that simple? Now, what 269 00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:21.000 are the disadvantages? Okay? They're a bit more expensive than 270 00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:25.799 a conventional loan, and meaning about a half a point 271 00:14:25.840 --> 00:14:29.399 to a point. Now there's some upfront costs as well 272 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:32.679 built into the loan, and they're a little more expensive 273 00:14:32.759 --> 00:14:36.960 than a conventional loan by about one thousand or two, 274 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:40.919 not much more, maybe at the very outside of its 275 00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.799 complicated twenty five hundred. But here's the real disadvantage that 276 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:50.480 people call a disadvantage, and that is interest accrues against 277 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:56.559 your equity, which means it compounds. So if you accrued 278 00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:00.080 I'm just taking numbers that make no sense, But if 279 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:04.559 you accrued eight grand in interest in year one, that 280 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:07.360 eight grand is added to your principle. So if your 281 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.960 principle was one hundred and now you have one hundred 282 00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:13.799 and eight thousand. Now interest will be against one hundred 283 00:15:13.799 --> 00:15:17.799 and eight thousand. Now let's say it's another eight I'm 284 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:20.000 just like I said, I'm using fictitious numbers. So now 285 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:22.320 you got one hundred and sixteen thousand going into the 286 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:25.519 third year, and interest is figured on the one sixteen. 287 00:15:25.600 --> 00:15:29.039 That's called compounded, So it eats up equity. Does it 288 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.159 eat up all of your equity? Theoretically? 289 00:15:32.240 --> 00:15:32.279 No. 290 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:36.039 They design them in a way that you can only 291 00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:39.399 get at the very most maybe fifty you get fifty 292 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:43.360 five percent, possibly sixty percent of equity when you're really old. 293 00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:47.320 They try to design even with the accrual of interest, 294 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:51.519 you are still going to have some equity or at 295 00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:56.080 the very least break even. But no matter what, even 296 00:15:56.240 --> 00:15:59.919 if the house value went down the market crashed, they 297 00:16:00.120 --> 00:16:03.720 can't call the loan do And as long as you 298 00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:08.440 pay taxes and insurance, you can still take every dime 299 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:12.039 that was promised, and if it accrues beyond the value 300 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:15.159 of the home, your estate will never be left with 301 00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.360 a deficiency. Or if you wanted to move to Florida 302 00:16:18.519 --> 00:16:21.120 or a nursing home, they're about the same. You can 303 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:26.519 you can sell it. And if you can't afford the 304 00:16:26.879 --> 00:16:29.559 UH say that the to pay off the loan, it's 305 00:16:29.639 --> 00:16:34.399 called it's forgiven. They don't come after you, so any 306 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:36.960 if do you have any direct questions, those are the 307 00:16:37.039 --> 00:16:37.960 those are the facts. 308 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:44.080 Basically, Okay, I'm thinking about can you recommend someone who 309 00:16:44.159 --> 00:16:49.879 can give me a good faith estimate on what the 310 00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:52.200 expense would be for reverse mortgage? 311 00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.080 And you know, in the years in the past, there's 312 00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.200 been a lot of talk about reverse mortgage. 313 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:01.120 And how some of them have been on a shady side. 314 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:06.839 Well, the shady thing about reverse mortgage what it used 315 00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:11.880 to be. The shady side used to be people who 316 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:16.160 would show up at closing and try to get you 317 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:19.319 to spend that money either through investing or through home 318 00:17:19.359 --> 00:17:23.960 improvements and all of that, or they would charge excessive 319 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:29.039 fees and application fees and appraisal fees. But all of 320 00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:31.960 that is now controlled by the government. So if you 321 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:37.440 get a licensed mortgage lender and they are controlled by FINRA, 322 00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:43.039 and you have a real government backed reverse loan, all 323 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:47.480 of that is controlled by the government. So you're not 324 00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:48.720 going to run into that. 325 00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:51.279 Okay. 326 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:55.880 Now, if you need, if you need someone to trust, 327 00:17:56.559 --> 00:17:59.279 Mark does Ideal Don't they do reverse loans? 328 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:00.400 They do. 329 00:18:00.480 --> 00:18:04.599 I like CMG as well, they do reverse loans as well.

What do you prefer? 349 00:19:07.960 --> 00:19:09.960 Typically we'll build them in a house because we can 350 00:19:10.119 --> 00:19:12.799 usually save the consumer money. We're building the same thing 351 00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:15.559 that you get inside that exchange unit, but we can 352 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:18.160 charge you for what we find damaged inside yours and 353 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:19.759 not what everybody needs out of a buck. 354 00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:23.279 Okay, so you prefer to take what you have and 355 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:24.880 only replace the parts needed. 356 00:19:24.920 --> 00:19:27.000 Then, yeah, when we're done with it, it meets where 357 00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:30.839 exceeds OEM standards.

And I didn't. 439 00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:38.880 I worked basically all my life, but I only worked 440 00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:40.720 part time and I was taking care of my parents. 441 00:23:40.799 --> 00:23:44.119 I didn't really get in. I will not be getting much. 442 00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:46.640 Hey, hey, why'd you come to Colorado for a fresh 443 00:23:46.680 --> 00:23:47.759 start or job or what? 444 00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:48.880 Oh? 445 00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:49.960 My daughter lives here? 446 00:23:50.240 --> 00:23:55.480 Okay, all right, listen, I we have we have places 447 00:23:55.519 --> 00:24:02.119 that that give people with this abilities a break and 448 00:24:02.799 --> 00:24:06.240 single moms a break trying to get to work and 449 00:24:06.279 --> 00:24:09.640 all that. Now, I'm not saying you're excluded from that, 450 00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:16.720 but we do have some that do that. However, that's 451 00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:21.519 not to say we can't find someone. First and foremost, 452 00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:24.839 what I think you should do is get an honest 453 00:24:25.599 --> 00:24:31.359 assessment to see what it would cost as far as 454 00:24:32.559 --> 00:24:37.400 an honest to god retail, okay, just to see worst 455 00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.319 case scenario.

Those may need to be 464 00:24:59.319 --> 00:25:01.559 taken care of the same time, what first, What. 465 00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:03.440 Did you get fixed already? 466 00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:05.599 Oh? 467 00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:08.119 I honestly can't remember.

We can at 489 00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:56.920 least give it a once over. You know, depending on 490 00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.599 what those other repairs are, it may push this thing 491 00:25:59.640 --> 00:26:00.920 out of a reasonable. 492 00:26:00.559 --> 00:26:03.440 Accident, Michelle, I want to do that first. I don't 493 00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:06.119 want to put the cart before the horse, because we 494 00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:09.119 don't know what's wrong and it may be hopeless.

But Mark, I 544 00:28:58.240 --> 00:29:00.240 don't know who we can get to toe first, we'd 545 00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:03.519 have to get somebody to tow it free. Then we 546 00:29:03.640 --> 00:29:05.319 have to get it to hands on to look out. 547 00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:07.680 Oh I did well, yeah, I she has no money, 548 00:29:07.720 --> 00:29:08.599 but she has no money. 549 00:29:08.680 --> 00:29:09.359 Yeah. 550 00:29:09.440 --> 00:29:12.240 If you get a good SAM membership for you know, 551 00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:14.160 fifty five bucks a year. 552 00:29:14.400 --> 00:29:16.440 It goes on a van.

And it's been 968 00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:42.639 a great car. I love it, but I've been doing 969 00:48:42.679 --> 00:48:44.159 some work on it, and I got a little bit 970 00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:46.159 of an issue with the check engine light because it's 971 00:48:46.159 --> 00:48:48.719 an OBD one. I can't plug in a computer and 972 00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:52.840 get an actual read on it when I accelerate uphill 973 00:48:52.920 --> 00:48:53.559 or in the rain. 974 00:48:53.760 --> 00:48:57.599 Did you say this is a Forerunner correct Toyota. 975 00:48:57.800 --> 00:48:59.480 It's okay, three pointed engine in. 976 00:48:59.480 --> 00:49:03.519 It there, bulletproof usually, yeah. 977 00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:05.480 And it's it's It doesn't have a loss of power, 978 00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:08.239 it doesn't stumble. It doesn't give me any issue of 979 00:49:08.239 --> 00:49:11.280 a mechanical problem. What it'll do with the check engine 980 00:49:11.320 --> 00:49:13.800 light'll come on, it'll stay on until I park the car, 981 00:49:14.039 --> 00:49:15.440 and then the next time I go to turn it on, 982 00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:17.599 the check engine light is gone. I can't get a 983 00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:19.760 read on it. I can't get it to slash a 984 00:49:19.800 --> 00:49:20.239 code for me. 985 00:49:20.280 --> 00:49:23.280 But it doesn't always.

It'll happen only under 990 00:49:31.000 --> 00:49:34.400 an acceleration. Most of the time when it's uphill, but 991 00:49:34.400 --> 00:49:36.840 I've been able to drive it twenty miles with no problem, 992 00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:39.440 and then sometimes they'll drive it two or three miles. 993 00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:39.960 And the light'll come on. 994 00:49:40.039 --> 00:49:41.440 Griffin, what do you think. 995 00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:44.519 You're gonna want to get to a shop that has 996 00:49:44.880 --> 00:49:47.760 OBD one capability and get that code. 997 00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:48.960 That's what you need to start with. 998 00:49:50.039 --> 00:49:52.039 And gotcha because I got the little pin. 999 00:49:52.199 --> 00:49:54.519 How hard is it?

Now how many did 1122 00:55:56.119 --> 00:55:56.800 you put on it? 1123 00:55:58.280 --> 00:56:00.000 So now it's got one hundred and seventeen. 1124 00:56:00.800 --> 00:56:03.000 Holy crap, you put a lot of miles on it. 1125 00:56:04.039 --> 00:56:05.599 Yeah, and nothing really went bad. 1126 00:56:05.639 --> 00:56:07.079 So I did take it to a shop. 1127 00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:11.760 They the code found a misfire and cylinder for So 1128 00:56:11.880 --> 00:56:15.119 what they did is they changed out all the plugs 1129 00:56:15.159 --> 00:56:20.599 and all the ignition coils. But they charged me eighteen 1130 00:56:20.679 --> 00:56:21.320 hundred for that. 1131 00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:24.599 Now I don't know that that might have been overkilled. 1132 00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:29.840 But okay, now the same thing is happening. So I 1133 00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:32.960 called them and they said, now, well, now that that's happening, 1134 00:56:33.000 --> 00:56:39.639 we recommend that the cylinder head would have to be removed, 1135 00:56:39.679 --> 00:56:44.480 most likely inspect for valve train damage or valve Yeah, 1136 00:56:44.639 --> 00:56:49.159 pose it they burning And I'm just thinking, you know, 1137 00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:51.039 how much money am I going to have to throw 1138 00:56:51.079 --> 00:56:53.400 into this thing? Should I take it to another shop 1139 00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:54.679 or should I? 1140 00:56:54.960 --> 00:56:56.800 You should always get a second opinion, But do you 1141 00:56:56.800 --> 00:56:57.480 trust the shop? 1142 00:56:57.519 --> 00:57:01.280 You're a well it was. That was a lot of 1143 00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:03.440 money and they can't get me in for three weeks. 1144 00:57:03.840 --> 00:57:06.000 Well wait a minute, did they already do the part 1145 00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:08.119 with the coils and the plugs? Right? 1146 00:57:09.000 --> 00:57:09.679 Yeah, they did? 1147 00:57:10.280 --> 00:57:13.440 Eighteen was too handsome for that, Griffin. Don't you believe 1148 00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:14.920 that was too much for that? Yeah? 1149 00:57:14.920 --> 00:57:15.559 That was too much. 1150 00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:18.280 But I want to know did it a couple things? 1151 00:57:18.880 --> 00:57:22.000 Did it fix the problem at all? Did they do 1152 00:57:22.079 --> 00:57:25.440 a compression test? Did they do a leak down test? 1153 00:57:25.519 --> 00:57:28.519 Those are all standard tests to do as you're diagnosing 1154 00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:30.840 a misfire. Or did they just throw parts at it? 1155 00:57:31.880 --> 00:57:34.480 No, they did do a compression test and the leak 1156 00:57:34.559 --> 00:57:36.239 tests and all those came back fine. 1157 00:57:38.119 --> 00:57:40.599 Okay, as you go ahead and look at it again, 1158 00:57:40.760 --> 00:57:42.679 you know, maybe you have bad new parts. Me and 1159 00:57:42.800 --> 00:57:45.239 me and Jeff were just talking off air, how we 1160 00:57:45.320 --> 00:57:49.000 have seen multiple bad new parts recently. 1161 00:57:50.119 --> 00:57:56.800 Oh but but you know, listen, man, as far as 1162 00:57:57.079 --> 00:58:00.440 throwing money at it, that's going to be all what 1163 00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:02.559 you want to do. It's got one hundred and seventeen 1164 00:58:02.599 --> 00:58:06.519 thousand miles in five What do you think, Griffin? What 1165 00:58:06.559 --> 00:58:08.800 do you think about that age of a vehicle and 1166 00:58:09.199 --> 00:58:10.920 that particular vehicle The matrix. 1167 00:58:11.079 --> 00:58:11.920 That's a Toyota. 1168 00:58:11.960 --> 00:58:13.719 Man, they're solid. Yeah. 1169 00:58:13.719 --> 00:58:15.880 I would go ahead and let's see what the problem 1170 00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:19.159 is first. Is it a misfire and different cylinder? Is 1171 00:58:19.159 --> 00:58:22.400 is it a totally different problem? That's little miles for 1172 00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:25.199 a Toyota. So I would get started with let's let's 1173 00:58:25.239 --> 00:58:27.599 find out what the problem is and then make a decision. 1174 00:58:28.199 --> 00:58:31.840 Yeah, but you're right, that'll go a lot more miles 1175 00:58:31.920 --> 00:58:34.159 even though it's a little car. Is that a little 1176 00:58:34.199 --> 00:58:35.239 four banger or six? 1177 00:58:36.360 --> 00:58:37.159 That's a four banger? 1178 00:58:38.199 --> 00:58:41.400 It's a four yeah, And again you know I bought 1179 00:58:41.400 --> 00:58:43.559 it used I have. This is the only money I 1180 00:58:43.679 --> 00:58:45.559 put into it, besides the serpentine. 1181 00:58:45.599 --> 00:58:48.119 So right now, the only symptom is idling. 1182 00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:53.840 Yeah, yeah, idling, and it loses power. I mean I 1183 00:58:53.880 --> 00:58:56.880 can't and it's when it warms up, so I can't 1184 00:58:56.920 --> 00:58:57.440 really try. 1185 00:58:57.559 --> 00:59:00.880 Does it lose power on acceleration or driving down the 1186 00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:02.840 road or when does it lose power? 1187 00:59:04.360 --> 00:59:07.360 Well, it's good for until it warms up, and then 1188 00:59:07.360 --> 00:59:09.840 as soon as I stop at a light, it starts 1189 00:59:09.880 --> 00:59:12.199 idling really rough, like it's gonna shut down. 1190 00:59:13.559 --> 00:59:15.960 Could it be a simple tune up? Guys, there's that 1191 00:59:16.360 --> 00:59:18.079 silly hold on he just. 1192 00:59:18.360 --> 00:59:20.280 They kind already did a simple tune up when they 1193 00:59:20.280 --> 00:59:21.800 went through and replaced all the plugs. 1194 00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:28.039 Eight bucks, Yeah, I know eighteen now someone that. 1195 00:59:27.960 --> 00:59:29.519 Would be rightful the beginning. 1196 00:59:29.599 --> 00:59:33.719 Yang not so when it warms up. I don't understand 1197 00:59:33.760 --> 00:59:35.719 why it would only get rough when it warms up. 1198 00:59:37.360 --> 00:59:40.880 Could it be something silly like vapor locking? 1199 00:59:41.280 --> 00:59:44.519 But you could have like an EGR valve that's that's 1200 00:59:44.599 --> 00:59:47.360 stuck that that could call something like that. 1201 00:59:48.920 --> 00:59:51.000 Jim, where are you located? What part of what part 1202 00:59:51.000 --> 00:59:52.280 of Colorado are you? 1203 00:59:53.239 --> 00:59:54.239 I'm writ in Denver. 1204 00:59:55.039 --> 01:00:01.440 Actually go to Sheridan Auto Tech. You know, Kevin will 1205 01:00:01.440 --> 01:00:03.920 take Kevin will take a look and and and do 1206 01:00:04.000 --> 01:00:06.199 that for nothing. I mean he'll take a look at it. 1207 01:00:06.440 --> 01:00:08.199 And then if you if you take it and make 1208 01:00:08.239 --> 01:00:12.199 an appointment, they go up to one hour of diagnostics 1209 01:00:13.320 --> 01:00:16.000 at no charge. I mean, it's really worth it. But 1210 01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:20.239 it's sounding like guys, correct me if I'm wrong. Doesn't 1211 01:00:20.239 --> 01:00:24.880 it sound like something simple? I mean meaning not that largely. 1212 01:00:25.119 --> 01:00:27.639 The likelihood is it's going to be a smaller repair, 1213 01:00:27.719 --> 01:00:28.519 something pretty simple. 1214 01:00:30.079 --> 01:00:32.920 So that's the good news, I think, because you got 1215 01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:35.519 a solid car. And again, it only happens when it 1216 01:00:35.559 --> 01:00:39.679 heats up, and you know, so when when you turn 1217 01:00:39.760 --> 01:00:41.639 it off again and turn it back on, it's it's 1218 01:00:41.679 --> 01:00:45.440 it runs again. Fine, right, it only only when it 1219 01:00:45.519 --> 01:00:49.679 heats up, so that that gas recirculation valve does sound 1220 01:00:49.960 --> 01:00:51.039 like something as possible. 1221 01:00:51.119 --> 01:00:52.480 Yeah, I mean he could have about it. 1222 01:00:54.400 --> 01:00:58.800 Yeah, anyway, Sheridan Auto Tech is on Wadsworth, excuse me 1223 01:00:58.840 --> 01:01:02.679 on Colfax west of Wall.

What we're going to do 1235 01:01:26.480 --> 01:01:28.719 is get a hold of them. Okay, right now, we 1236 01:01:28.760 --> 01:01:32.639 got messages into them. This is a wholesale supplier of 1237 01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:36.159 mad chloride who says she's got a small order, never 1238 01:01:36.199 --> 01:01:38.079 been paid for, and she's kind of pissed and she 1239 01:01:38.119 --> 01:01:42.880 wants to know what to do. And you know obviously 1240 01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:47.360 that you can always take matters into your own hands. 1241 01:01:47.400 --> 01:01:51.000 With a small claim, get a judgment, and then hell. 1242 01:01:51.239 --> 01:01:54.960 You know, when you do business as a business and 1243 01:01:55.000 --> 01:01:58.360 you don't pay your your bills, there is a lot 1244 01:01:58.400 --> 01:02:02.480 that can be done upon collect Years ago, we had 1245 01:02:02.480 --> 01:02:05.800 a hot tub dealer who took money up front, did 1246 01:02:05.840 --> 01:02:08.760 not come through for people. We had an attorney who 1247 01:02:08.800 --> 01:02:13.360 went out and got this, got a judgment against him, 1248 01:02:14.119 --> 01:02:16.519 and they went and did a rid of execution and 1249 01:02:16.639 --> 01:02:22.360 literally removed stuff from his business and sold it literally 1250 01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:25.639 because he wasn't paying his bills. So you're gonna have 1251 01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:28.519 a lot of recourse if you get a judgment. But 1252 01:02:28.679 --> 01:02:31.320 maybe it's a simple matter of just shaking the trees 1253 01:02:31.360 --> 01:02:34.159 loose and he'll pay the bill.

They're all 1277 01:04:16.960 --> 01:04:22.599 good businesses. There's some mixture of businesses where consumers are 1278 01:04:22.639 --> 01:04:27.400 pissed off and refuse to pay, And I don't know 1279 01:04:27.760 --> 01:04:29.960 if that's happening in the auto repair business, but I 1280 01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:34.320 think a lot of people wait until the end or 1281 01:04:34.519 --> 01:04:38.159 near the end and say I want a reduction or 1282 01:04:38.159 --> 01:04:39.119 I'm not paying the whole thing. 1283 01:04:39.199 --> 01:04:41.159 Yeah, then you just don't give them the car back though. 1284 01:04:41.199 --> 01:04:41.880 That's pretty straight. 1285 01:04:41.960 --> 01:04:42.159 Yeah. 1286 01:04:42.159 --> 01:04:44.239 With the auto business, I guess you would.

Is it hard to start 1322 01:06:15.239 --> 01:06:17.199 all the time or just first start of the day 1323 01:06:17.280 --> 01:06:19.719 or what? No. 1324 01:06:20.320 --> 01:06:22.760 So it's a car that my mom had and then 1325 01:06:23.719 --> 01:06:27.480 our daughter bought from my mom and she had problems 1326 01:06:27.519 --> 01:06:29.920 with it at the end where it was it's gone 1327 01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:32.119 a parasitic load on the battery. 1328 01:06:32.719 --> 01:06:34.440 Oh, so do you think it's electrical? 1329 01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:37.400 Yeah, it's electrical for sure. 1330 01:06:38.440 --> 01:06:40.159 Oh and you can't trace it. 1331 01:06:42.000 --> 01:06:45.760 Well, I haven't spent the time on it. I've I've 1332 01:06:45.840 --> 01:06:48.400 looked at stuff online and it sounds like it's a 1333 01:06:48.440 --> 01:06:51.559 known problem. When my mom took it to the Honda dealer, 1334 01:06:51.639 --> 01:06:54.840 they replaced I guess there's a you know, a door 1335 01:06:54.880 --> 01:06:57.679 handle switch or something because of the auto lock and 1336 01:06:57.719 --> 01:07:02.280 the push button start feature all that, and uh, it's 1337 01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:03.480 been fine for too. 1338 01:07:03.360 --> 01:07:05.639 How long does it take? How how old is the 1339 01:07:05.679 --> 01:07:09.519 battery by the way, so it's right at two years, 1340 01:07:10.599 --> 01:07:13.760 and and how long does it take to when you 1341 01:07:13.800 --> 01:07:16.719 can't start it? Like if you if you park it 1342 01:07:16.760 --> 01:07:18.519 at night in the morning, it won't start. 1343 01:07:19.599 --> 01:07:21.760 Right that's where we're at today. 1344 01:07:21.960 --> 01:07:25.360 But but if you went to the supermarket, you could 1345 01:07:25.559 --> 01:07:26.760 come back out and start it. 1346 01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:31.760 That's kind of a roll of the dice right now, 1347 01:07:31.960 --> 01:07:35.000 and the battery would take. So we've tested the battery. 1348 01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:40.079 They're saying the battery test fine, But I just didn't 1349 01:07:40.119 --> 01:07:41.920 know what the guys that that. 1350 01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:43.119 What do you think? 1351 01:07:44.199 --> 01:07:48.320 Yeah, hey Mark, Yeah, hey, hey, this is griffing with 1352 01:07:48.360 --> 01:07:49.119 Action Automotive. 1353 01:07:49.320 --> 01:07:51.840 Hey, they're for Honda for years. 1354 01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:55.800 They're super common for the A C compressor clutch relay 1355 01:07:56.039 --> 01:07:59.719 to stay engaged and that will go ahead and kill 1356 01:08:00.280 --> 01:08:02.519 uh kill that battery.

Yeah? 1420 01:11:55.039 --> 01:11:59.359 The unfortunately the V six doesn't have the best transmission. 1421 01:11:59.479 --> 01:12:01.840 But overall they're solid vehicles. 1422 01:12:03.640 --> 01:12:07.079 And do you think they're more solid than Toyota. 1423 01:12:07.840 --> 01:12:10.319 I think they're both super solid. I think Toyota is 1424 01:12:10.359 --> 01:12:14.399 definitely more precise. It makes up a nicer vehicle. But 1425 01:12:14.479 --> 01:12:17.319 as far as longevity, uh, I think they go hand 1426 01:12:17.359 --> 01:12:19.560 in hand. They're they're both really good vehicles. 1427 01:12:20.760 --> 01:12:26.279 Now longevity, do you think Japanese beat everyone when it 1428 01:12:26.279 --> 01:12:29.600 comes to longevity?

You go to the 1435 01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:48.279 timming belt, the whole the whole front end just kind 1436 01:12:48.279 --> 01:12:50.239 of comes off and you got all of a sudden, 1437 01:12:50.239 --> 01:12:51.119 you've got plenty of room. 1438 01:12:51.439 --> 01:12:53.359 And as long as you got the special tools. 1439 01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:56.680 To work on them, they're they're fault tracing diagrams and 1440 01:12:56.840 --> 01:12:57.960 flow charts are pretty. 1441 01:12:57.720 --> 01:12:59.279 What about longevity do you think? 1442 01:12:59.359 --> 01:13:02.399 Oh long jevit? No, No, no, Usually they're all dogged out? 1443 01:13:02.439 --> 01:13:02.640 Man? 1444 01:13:03.239 --> 01:13:06.159 Why why is that? Why that everyone says that German 1445 01:13:06.239 --> 01:13:09.359 cars are so beautiful and so nice and luxurious, But 1446 01:13:09.479 --> 01:13:11.840 you get forty or fifty or sixty I'd. 1447 01:13:11.760 --> 01:13:13.760 Say around sixty five thousand, dump it. 1448 01:13:15.359 --> 01:13:19.560 Yeah, I concur really, as Frank aby Neil Junior would say, 1449 01:13:19.600 --> 01:13:20.119 I concur. 1450 01:13:21.079 --> 01:13:24.880 Okay, let's go to the phones and we have Bruce 1451 01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:29.680 a question on a fuel system of fourteen Chevy Equinox. 1452 01:13:30.079 --> 01:13:33.880 Bruce, Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Yes, sir, 1453 01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:39.159 I got a twenty fourteen Kia Optima or a Equinox. 1454 01:13:39.199 --> 01:13:41.359 It's got one hundred and twenty five thousand miles on it. 1455 01:13:42.000 --> 01:13:44.199 I do have a diagnostic tool, so I did get 1456 01:13:44.199 --> 01:13:47.960 some readings. But here's what's going on. I live here 1457 01:13:47.960 --> 01:13:50.680 in Texas as one hundred degrees. My wife was driving 1458 01:13:50.960 --> 01:13:54.960 the car, and of course, you know, she she came 1459 01:13:54.960 --> 01:13:58.000 from Dallas to San Antnio. But anyway, one hundred degrees out, 1460 01:13:58.000 --> 01:14:00.359 you know, pavements, hot, all that good stuff. Pulled in 1461 01:14:00.479 --> 01:14:03.720 to get gas and she shut the car off. All right, 1462 01:14:03.800 --> 01:14:06.720 I'm sorry. She left the car running. She unscrewed the 1463 01:14:06.760 --> 01:14:10.039 fuel cap to put fuel in and the car quit. 1464 01:14:10.800 --> 01:14:13.000 So right away, I think there's the fuel issue, fuel 1465 01:14:13.000 --> 01:14:16.199 pump issue, stuff like that. So she has to hold 1466 01:14:16.239 --> 01:14:20.640 accelerator down, it starts, she takes off, she gets the 1467 01:14:20.680 --> 01:14:23.199 back home, she gets back to San Antonio. I run 1468 01:14:23.279 --> 01:14:28.199 some diagnostic on it, and the fuel pressure where the 1469 01:14:28.239 --> 01:14:32.079 pump in the tank is showing forty to fifty pounds psi, 1470 01:14:32.840 --> 01:14:36.560 and then the high pressure pump on the rail, depending 1471 01:14:36.600 --> 01:14:40.039 on how I step on accelerator is anywhere between eight 1472 01:14:40.159 --> 01:14:46.199 hundred eighteen hundred and psi. So I don't know what 1473 01:14:46.279 --> 01:14:49.279 the issue is. You think it's a throttle position sensor. 1474 01:14:49.600 --> 01:14:51.640 I mean, because it just happened to me last night. 1475 01:14:51.640 --> 01:14:55.319 I went and drove it. It was hot, I shut 1476 01:14:55.359 --> 01:14:57.039 it off, but when I went to start it, it 1477 01:14:57.039 --> 01:15:00.079 wouldn't start, and it would try to auto start. Did 1478 01:15:00.119 --> 01:15:04.000 it do that all the time, No, it doesn't. So 1479 01:15:04.039 --> 01:15:06.159 I had to hold the accelerator down and it did 1480 01:15:06.279 --> 01:15:10.199 finally start, and it runs fine. I mean after it runs, 1481 01:15:10.199 --> 01:15:12.279 it runs fine. But it sounds like a fuel delivery 1482 01:15:12.319 --> 01:15:14.119 system issue. 1483 01:15:14.520 --> 01:15:16.960 Which could be anything. I mean, guys, what do you think. 1484 01:15:17.960 --> 01:15:19.119 Are you getting any codes? 1485 01:15:20.359 --> 01:15:23.359 No? I'm not, And I just tuned it up. I 1486 01:15:23.399 --> 01:15:25.000 just did a new set of plugs coiled. 1487 01:15:25.079 --> 01:15:26.680 Did this just all of a sudden happened? 1488 01:15:27.760 --> 01:15:31.119 Well, yes it did. I mean she was up in 1489 01:15:31.199 --> 01:15:33.880 Omaha and coming back to San Antonio, and of course 1490 01:15:33.920 --> 01:15:36.880 you know that's nine hundred miles it's hot, but the 1491 01:15:36.920 --> 01:15:39.720 air conditioner wasn't working, right. I got picked though. I 1492 01:15:39.760 --> 01:15:43.199 don't think that's related at all to this, But yeah, 1493 01:15:43.279 --> 01:15:46.600 she pulled in, she unscrewed the gas cap, and the 1494 01:15:46.640 --> 01:15:51.239 car quit. So it's like it lost pressure and starved fuel. 1495 01:15:53.359 --> 01:15:55.199 Well, you said you were getting about forty pounds at 1496 01:15:55.199 --> 01:15:57.479 the fuel pump, but that's from when it was running 1497 01:15:57.600 --> 01:15:59.680 and working. Did you try it again when it did 1498 01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:01.239 start to act up on you and see if you 1499 01:16:01.239 --> 01:16:02.960 didn't have a fuel pump that was acting up. 1500 01:16:04.479 --> 01:16:07.479 Every time I check it. It's somewhere between forty and 1501 01:16:07.520 --> 01:16:08.319 fifty pounds. 1502 01:16:08.560 --> 01:16:10.760 And you can do that while it's running. I mean, 1503 01:16:10.840 --> 01:16:11.920 you can you check it? 1504 01:16:11.960 --> 01:16:14.680 Will it? Kind of more more so that since it 1505 01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:19.720 seems to be an intermittent problem. When the problems occurring, you. 1506 01:16:18.920 --> 01:16:21.479 Do you do that from a on the line like 1507 01:16:21.520 --> 01:16:22.680 a te off the line. 1508 01:16:22.560 --> 01:16:25.479 Or something basically a straighter valve that you take came. 1509 01:16:25.880 --> 01:16:28.039 And see what the pressure is. So are you saying 1510 01:16:28.039 --> 01:16:32.399 that the fuel pump could be just giving juster erratically. 1511 01:16:32.039 --> 01:16:36.000 He's giving up? Yea, So when when the problem occurs 1512 01:16:36.039 --> 01:16:38.760 would be the best time to test that? Not in between? 1513 01:16:40.239 --> 01:16:42.640 Okay? Yeah, I mean, like I said, I filled it 1514 01:16:42.720 --> 01:16:44.840 up last night and then it wouldn't start on me, 1515 01:16:44.920 --> 01:16:47.840 and I left it crank to try to crank to 1516 01:16:47.880 --> 01:16:50.199 see what to do, and it didn't do anything. I 1517 01:16:50.319 --> 01:16:52.239 finally put my foot on the accelerator. 1518 01:16:52.520 --> 01:16:53.399 Now what would that do? 1519 01:16:53.840 --> 01:16:55.199 Or it started up? 1520 01:16:55.359 --> 01:16:55.520 Well? 1521 01:16:55.560 --> 01:16:57.720 Right after Philip, I'm wondering if he's got some sediment 1522 01:16:57.720 --> 01:17:00.079 in the tank that's getting stirred up when he fills it. 1523 01:17:00.119 --> 01:17:03.000 But what would holding his foot on the accelerator youmand 1524 01:17:03.159 --> 01:17:06.960 more fuel and flushing out? I mean, and did you 1525 01:17:07.079 --> 01:17:09.720 check the obvious stuff like your fuel filter and all that. 1526 01:17:11.279 --> 01:17:13.640 I have not replaced the fuel filter on it yet. 1527 01:17:13.720 --> 01:17:14.960 That's gonna be my next step. 1528 01:17:15.520 --> 01:17:16.920 Guys. Could be a fuel filter. 1529 01:17:18.239 --> 01:17:20.880 I don't think that has a serviceable No, yeah, that's 1530 01:17:20.880 --> 01:17:21.520 a filter. 1531 01:17:21.680 --> 01:17:23.960 It was part of the pump side the tank. 1532 01:17:24.439 --> 01:17:25.880 So you don't really service it. 1533 01:17:26.760 --> 01:17:31.520 Yeah, but yeah, it's just odd. I mean, like I said, 1534 01:17:31.560 --> 01:17:33.880 it's my funeral pressure seat because I thought it was 1535 01:17:33.880 --> 01:17:37.199 a high speed or high pressure or fuel pump. But 1536 01:17:37.479 --> 01:17:39.680 I mean everything I'm seeing. 1537 01:17:39.359 --> 01:17:41.840 On my You know a lot of times when stuff 1538 01:17:41.880 --> 01:17:44.039 like this happens, you guys say, pull a code. Right, 1539 01:17:44.039 --> 01:17:45.159 would a code show this. 1540 01:17:47.119 --> 01:17:48.880 If a fuel pump's going bad? Most likely not? 1541 01:17:49.359 --> 01:17:52.439 Oh it won't. No, will it hint at anything? 1542 01:17:53.000 --> 01:17:55.359 No? Not I mean, at most you might see a 1543 01:17:55.399 --> 01:17:58.039 lean condition or risk condition or something like that. But 1544 01:17:58.359 --> 01:17:59.920 when a fuel pump goes bad, you're not going to 1545 01:18:00.399 --> 01:18:01.119 a warning light. 1546 01:18:03.119 --> 01:18:08.279 Guys, you know one. It just sounds like it's either 1547 01:18:08.319 --> 01:18:12.439 a pump or I mean, what else could it be 1548 01:18:12.479 --> 01:18:14.600 if it wasn't the pump? Really, what else could it be? 1549 01:18:14.800 --> 01:18:18.520 Is there something you mentioned sentiment? What if your fuel 1550 01:18:18.520 --> 01:18:22.760 filter is non serviceable but it can still get clogged? 1551 01:18:22.920 --> 01:18:23.079 Right? 1552 01:18:23.159 --> 01:18:25.159 Yeah? And in both cases he said that it's right 1553 01:18:25.199 --> 01:18:25.920 after Phillips. 1554 01:18:25.920 --> 01:18:29.159 So if it's if it's non serviceable so to speak, 1555 01:18:29.199 --> 01:18:31.359 it doesn't mean non serviceable. It just means you don't 1556 01:18:31.399 --> 01:18:33.039 maintain it until it goes bad. 1557 01:18:32.960 --> 01:18:34.680 Right, and you change it long enough pump. 1558 01:18:35.399 --> 01:18:38.000 So those are the two things I would check. And 1559 01:18:38.000 --> 01:18:40.960 and any good fuel guy will, I mean a mechanic 1560 01:18:41.000 --> 01:18:44.840 will say, look the filter and the pump. I mean, 1561 01:18:44.840 --> 01:18:46.359 those are the two you check right away. 1562 01:18:47.359 --> 01:18:50.119 And Speck is showing on this it should have about 1563 01:18:50.159 --> 01:18:53.640 sixty five to seventy psi on the on the low 1564 01:18:53.680 --> 01:18:55.560 pressure fuel pump, you know, the one in the tank, 1565 01:18:56.319 --> 01:19:00.000 and that it it may if it's having a high 1566 01:19:00.039 --> 01:19:04.399 pressure fuel pump failure, it may kick a p zero 1567 01:19:04.600 --> 01:19:06.479 zero eight seven code. 1568 01:19:06.920 --> 01:19:10.800 Why would they have both? Why do automobiles or motor 1569 01:19:10.880 --> 01:19:13.840 vehicles have both high and low pressure? What is the 1570 01:19:14.159 --> 01:19:14.760 what is that for? 1571 01:19:14.880 --> 01:19:16.600 I need to get the pressure pressure in order to 1572 01:19:16.600 --> 01:19:18.800 get it up there. But then most vehicles now are 1573 01:19:18.840 --> 01:19:22.760 running pop off injectors or pulse model modulated injectors, one 1574 01:19:22.800 --> 01:19:24.520 of the two, so you have to have a certain 1575 01:19:24.520 --> 01:19:26.520 amount of pressure just to open up that injector. 1576 01:19:26.960 --> 01:19:30.720 Yeah, they got direct injection now, so they're super high pressure. 1577 01:19:31.000 --> 01:19:34.079 It goes directly into the cylinder as opposed to you know, 1578 01:19:34.119 --> 01:19:37.720 going into the intake before going into the cylinder. 1579 01:19:39.199 --> 01:19:41.840 Okay, I see what you're saying. And it takes more 1580 01:19:41.880 --> 01:19:45.000 pressure to fight that can press the combustion chamber, right, 1581 01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:45.840 I mean you have to. 1582 01:19:45.880 --> 01:19:48.159 That to atomize that you're no longer mixing it inside 1583 01:19:48.199 --> 01:19:48.600 the intake. 1584 01:19:49.119 --> 01:19:53.720 Okay, Okay, So basically, sir, you got two areas to 1585 01:19:53.840 --> 01:19:57.560 check three ozho three seven one three eight two five five. 1586 01:19:57.960 --> 01:20:00.520 We got more coming up on the Troubleshooters show Denver 1587 01:20:00.640 --> 01:20:03.600 Regen dot com.

What is your comment on that Honda issue 1604 01:21:07.600 --> 01:21:12.279 where the guy had he he's the one that will 1605 01:21:12.279 --> 01:21:15.319 not hold a charge. It was a parasitic drag and 1606 01:21:15.359 --> 01:21:19.520 Griffin said it could be the relay for the air conditioning. 1607 01:21:20.680 --> 01:21:23.640 I apologize. I was talking about the guy with the 1608 01:21:23.640 --> 01:21:25.399 fuel problem. Why I wouldn't start. 1609 01:21:25.159 --> 01:21:27.399 When it was oh, go ahead, go ahead, Nick, that's fine. 1610 01:21:27.399 --> 01:21:28.920 Which what do you have to say about that? 1611 01:21:29.960 --> 01:21:31.680 To me, it just sounds like it's some kind of 1612 01:21:31.760 --> 01:21:36.279 vapor locking. Especially when it's hot, it stops and you know, 1613 01:21:36.600 --> 01:21:39.800 there could be a few different things that caused out, 1614 01:21:39.880 --> 01:21:42.680 but it almost sounds like it's a vapor locking problem. 1615 01:21:43.119 --> 01:21:46.000 Yeah, in high pressure fuel systems anymore, vapor rocks pretty 1616 01:21:46.039 --> 01:21:47.199 much a thing of the past. 1617 01:21:48.000 --> 01:21:50.840 Right, not very common, but just the symptoms of what 1618 01:21:50.960 --> 01:21:52.399 I listened to what you guys are saying. 1619 01:21:52.520 --> 01:21:56.119 That's just you know, speaking of vapor lock. Is let 1620 01:21:56.159 --> 01:21:58.920 me in general? Is vapor lock a design issue? In 1621 01:21:58.960 --> 01:22:02.319 other words, if they design a car properly, why would 1622 01:22:02.359 --> 01:22:03.079 it vapor lost? 1623 01:22:03.279 --> 01:22:05.800 Because the fuel heats up and it literally creates vapor, 1624 01:22:06.000 --> 01:22:06.600 which will. 1625 01:22:06.680 --> 01:22:09.600 Even if the car fuel lines are designed correctly. 1626 01:22:09.840 --> 01:22:12.920 When I started adding higher pressure fuel systems to get past. 1627 01:22:12.720 --> 01:22:15.920 It, okay, it's not just a matter of shielding heat. 1628 01:22:16.600 --> 01:22:19.600 You can get you can disperse the heat. I mean 1629 01:22:19.640 --> 01:22:22.319 it was real common to you know, wrap wrap fuel 1630 01:22:22.359 --> 01:22:25.199 lines or whatever. Ye get rid of the heat. But no, 1631 01:22:25.319 --> 01:22:26.840 you have to add more pressure or get rid of 1632 01:22:26.880 --> 01:22:27.439 that heat. 1633 01:22:27.640 --> 01:22:31.600 Now. Ralph wants to talk about his two thousand and 1634 01:22:31.640 --> 01:22:35.039 three Ford F two fifty. My god, today, I don't 1635 01:22:35.079 --> 01:22:39.239 think we've had a vehicle within more than or newer 1636 01:22:39.279 --> 01:22:45.560 than five years. They've been five years or older. Go ahead, Ralph, Hi, 1637 01:22:46.199 --> 01:22:48.960 Thank hey, Ralph? What's going on? Ay? 1638 01:22:49.199 --> 01:22:50.000 Trying to make it short. 1639 01:22:50.039 --> 01:22:53.800 You're basically want to see about mechanic shop that folks 1640 01:22:53.800 --> 01:22:56.079 didn't recommend, and then, of course what to do whether 1641 01:22:56.159 --> 01:23:00.239 the scaledule scheduled maintenance O three Ford F two fifty 1642 01:23:00.680 --> 01:23:05.520 V ten ninety nine thousand miles garaged its whole life. 1643 01:23:05.720 --> 01:23:07.720 You know, I don't know if dealership's an option. I 1644 01:23:07.720 --> 01:23:10.640 think we should getdraggon to queue up the knock on wood, 1645 01:23:10.640 --> 01:23:12.680 though there's no issues with it right now. A small 1646 01:23:12.800 --> 01:23:16.720 drip on the power steering, I think that's it. 1647 01:23:16.760 --> 01:23:18.560 From how many miles did you say on it? 1648 01:23:19.720 --> 01:23:20.560 Ninety nine thousand? 1649 01:23:21.079 --> 01:23:23.319 Okay, well you've had good luck with it. Then you 1650 01:23:23.359 --> 01:23:29.479 had it since new yes, Wow, wow, Okay, that's that's 1651 01:23:29.520 --> 01:23:32.159 pretty cool. A V ten that's a damn big engine. 1652 01:23:32.199 --> 01:23:34.439 That's a big engine. Yeah, they like to drink gass. 1653 01:23:34.760 --> 01:23:36.760 What mile what mileage you get on that? 1654 01:23:38.279 --> 01:23:41.800 It depends a little bit, but fifteen is not average, 1655 01:23:42.239 --> 01:23:44.880 fourteen to fifteen depending on it's all highway. 1656 01:23:44.560 --> 01:23:45.720 Or puts a little bit of stuff. 1657 01:23:45.720 --> 01:23:47.479 I was gonna ask how many gallons to the mile? 1658 01:23:49.279 --> 01:23:52.960 Oh so, so Ralph, what do you need to know?

There's horror stories with when they change those out. 1662 01:23:59.399 --> 01:24:01.399 I think you met I'd never changed them, right, So 1663 01:24:01.399 --> 01:24:04.920 I think it's new for that now fluid changes differential, 1664 01:24:05.239 --> 01:24:06.800 Like is there the rear and then there's a this 1665 01:24:06.920 --> 01:24:08.760 is a solid front actle, I think almost. 1666 01:24:08.760 --> 01:24:10.520 So what should he do coming up on one hundred 1667 01:24:10.560 --> 01:24:12.359 thousand miles to keep that sucker going? 1668 01:24:12.479 --> 01:24:14.960 Guys, Well, if he hasn't done that power train service, 1669 01:24:15.039 --> 01:24:17.560 those power train services, he's well overdue. So yeah, going 1670 01:24:17.600 --> 01:24:21.760 through the transmission, the differentials, the transfer case, those are 1671 01:24:21.800 --> 01:24:24.199 all going to be essential. Uh, you know, as far 1672 01:24:24.239 --> 01:24:27.479 as you know any other where are you town? Do 1673 01:24:27.479 --> 01:24:27.920 you live in? 1674 01:24:29.520 --> 01:24:30.279 Up in Arvada? 1675 01:24:30.319 --> 01:24:32.359 I had a great poor guy he sold his shop, 1676 01:24:32.680 --> 01:24:34.560 uh the up north here northwest? 1677 01:24:35.000 --> 01:24:36.920 Yeah, Because I mean the best thing you can do 1678 01:24:36.960 --> 01:24:39.840 for yourself is to develop another relationship with you know, 1679 01:24:39.880 --> 01:24:43.239 somebody in your area, somebody who's trusted, and that way 1680 01:24:43.239 --> 01:24:45.039 they can guide you through step by step not only 1681 01:24:45.039 --> 01:24:47.159 has problems come along, but in order to prevent. 1682 01:24:47.039 --> 01:24:51.079 What is normal service though for that I mean normal Well. 1683 01:24:51.000 --> 01:24:54.199 He's already done so, like he said, but he's spark plugs, 1684 01:24:54.199 --> 01:24:55.359 which is afraid to get into. 1685 01:24:55.319 --> 01:24:57.880 Adam, Why are you afraid to get into sparkplut I 1686 01:24:57.920 --> 01:24:58.560 don't understand. 1687 01:24:58.600 --> 01:25:00.199 It was more so one that trit and V eight 1688 01:25:00.359 --> 01:25:04.039 we actually break crap, Yeah, they break as you try 1689 01:25:04.039 --> 01:25:05.840 to take apart those tools in order to get them out. 1690 01:25:06.119 --> 01:25:08.000 Why why was it. 1691 01:25:07.680 --> 01:25:09.920 They sees inside there? Now there's tricks of the trade 1692 01:25:09.920 --> 01:25:11.000 in order to keep it from happening. 1693 01:25:11.039 --> 01:25:12.720 Well, you have anti seas you can use. 1694 01:25:12.840 --> 01:25:15.000 Well, it's more so. I mean usually what we do 1695 01:25:15.079 --> 01:25:16.560 is we get them good and hot so you're full 1696 01:25:16.600 --> 01:25:19.520 operating temperature, and then you spray some penetrating oil on there, 1697 01:25:19.680 --> 01:25:22.680 and while it's hot, remove them and knock on wood. 1698 01:25:22.680 --> 01:25:24.640 That's been successful for me every time, where I have 1699 01:25:24.680 --> 01:25:25.199 not had. 1700 01:25:26.079 --> 01:25:27.520 The opposite because hot would. 1701 01:25:27.399 --> 01:25:29.520 Expand expands and that's going to allow. 1702 01:25:29.560 --> 01:25:32.159 But that's the same reason expands the engine quicker than 1703 01:25:32.159 --> 01:25:33.520 the plug. Right, Okay, I see. 1704 01:25:33.600 --> 01:25:35.119 Yeah. 1705 01:25:35.159 --> 01:25:37.119 The other trick I learned, and I got this from 1706 01:25:37.239 --> 01:25:40.600 Ford school, was we'd spray a bunch of penetrating oil 1707 01:25:40.640 --> 01:25:42.880 in there, like Jeff said, but then we put a 1708 01:25:42.920 --> 01:25:45.800 half inch drive impact on there and just blast them 1709 01:25:45.800 --> 01:25:46.840 out and up. 1710 01:25:47.560 --> 01:25:48.920 That has worked every time for me. 1711 01:25:49.960 --> 01:25:54.159 Now on something like this, are on a ten cylinder engine? 1712 01:25:54.960 --> 01:25:56.439 Are they smaller cylinders? 1713 01:25:57.800 --> 01:26:01.279 I don't remember exactly what the place on that is. 1714 01:26:01.359 --> 01:26:04.359 Because otherwise that would be some giant end. 1715 01:26:04.439 --> 01:26:06.439 No, it fills that. It fills that injured bay. 1716 01:26:06.800 --> 01:26:09.079 How many horse power is it or is it more 1717 01:26:09.159 --> 01:26:13.119 mainly torque than power then? I mean than than high end?

If you've paid 1800 01:30:08.920 --> 01:30:11.079 for what he's done so far? How has the quality 1801 01:30:11.159 --> 01:30:11.840 been so far? 1802 01:30:14.600 --> 01:30:17.600 The quality, I will not complain it, but the quality. 1803 01:30:17.960 --> 01:30:21.399 Okay? What about just saying, hey, let's part company. I 1804 01:30:21.439 --> 01:30:25.920 don't cute, are you? What about just just changing horses? 1805 01:30:28.520 --> 01:30:28.720 Well? 1806 01:30:28.760 --> 01:30:29.840 You know I want you. 1807 01:30:30.159 --> 01:30:32.359 That's exactly what I want to do, Tom, But I'm 1808 01:30:32.399 --> 01:30:35.079 a single woman. He's been around my house now for 1809 01:30:35.159 --> 01:30:38.399 nine weeks. He knows all the vulnerabilities of how to 1810 01:30:38.399 --> 01:30:40.039 get into my house and when I'm there and when 1811 01:30:40.039 --> 01:30:41.600 I'm not and all of the rest of it. So 1812 01:30:42.560 --> 01:30:46.000 I'm concerned about firing him. And then I'm also concerned 1813 01:30:46.000 --> 01:30:48.880 about someone not willing to take this job on and 1814 01:30:48.920 --> 01:30:51.439 finish it for me because somebody else started it, Like 1815 01:30:51.520 --> 01:30:52.880 how is that a problem? 1816 01:30:53.199 --> 01:30:55.359 It can be, but I don't think that would be 1817 01:30:55.359 --> 01:30:58.279 a major deal. If the quality is not terrible, that 1818 01:30:58.319 --> 01:31:01.000 wouldn't be a major deal. Somebody who tells you have 1819 01:31:01.079 --> 01:31:03.319 to start over might be just trying to get more money. 1820 01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:07.359 But Alison, do you I need to know?

I'm just 1911 01:35:43.600 --> 01:35:47.119 hoping that she can get rid of him peacefully, you know, 1912 01:35:47.359 --> 01:35:50.880 without him freaking out or something. He sounds like he 1913 01:35:51.000 --> 01:35:55.640 might be a little weird. I mean, although maybe he's 1914 01:35:55.720 --> 01:35:58.239 just more of of an emotional kind of guy. He's 1915 01:35:58.279 --> 01:36:02.239 asking her to pray and he's saying that he's depressed 1916 01:36:02.239 --> 01:36:05.560 and stuff. So it's weird. It's just a very awkward. 1917 01:36:05.640 --> 01:36:08.600 It's a very awkward situation when things like this happen, 1918 01:36:09.079 --> 01:36:11.640 especially when you're a single woman you have a guy 1919 01:36:11.640 --> 01:36:14.399 in the house and you're not I mean, you're you are, 1920 01:36:14.520 --> 01:36:18.399 You're a little off base. It's it's weird and I 1921 01:36:18.399 --> 01:36:20.800 don't know, so so in any case, we're going to 1922 01:36:20.880 --> 01:36:23.920 follow it along, though, I hope she keeps us informed. 1923 01:36:24.439 --> 01:36:27.279 Brian says he has a follow up from an accident. Now, Brian, 1924 01:36:27.359 --> 01:36:29.840 did you call us originally about this and your son? 1925 01:36:30.840 --> 01:36:33.920 I did, Okay, I'm looking for the call. Tell me 1926 01:36:34.119 --> 01:36:36.000 tell me about it. I'll remember it and I'll get 1927 01:36:36.039 --> 01:36:36.840 the call go ahead. 1928 01:36:37.479 --> 01:36:39.000 It might have been a couple of weeks ago when 1929 01:36:39.000 --> 01:36:42.479 I called in and he he for some reason a 1930 01:36:42.520 --> 01:36:45.319 new car that he purchased failed to get collision insurance 1931 01:36:45.359 --> 01:36:48.800 on it, but at least got me. Yeah, and so now. 1932 01:36:48.680 --> 01:36:50.399 He did the guy run a traffic light? 1933 01:36:51.279 --> 01:36:53.000 He actually was a stop sign. 1934 01:36:53.359 --> 01:36:56.920 Hele right there and was this This wasn't a Kia, 1935 01:36:56.920 --> 01:36:57.920 was it? 1936 01:36:57.920 --> 01:37:02.000 It was a k five uh huh twenty seven thousand 1937 01:37:02.039 --> 01:37:03.800 dollars worth of damage? 1938 01:37:04.039 --> 01:37:08.000 And so how did he is this car financed? 1939 01:37:08.720 --> 01:37:09.079 It is? 1940 01:37:09.960 --> 01:37:15.479 Then how how did he get this financed without collision coverage? 1941 01:37:15.680 --> 01:37:18.520 That everybody I talked to about this says the exact 1942 01:37:18.560 --> 01:37:23.520 same thing. Apparently Key of Finance and Progressive Insurance do 1943 01:37:23.600 --> 01:37:26.199 not communicate because it's not a law that you have 1944 01:37:26.239 --> 01:37:28.760 to have full coverage on that vehicle, and they don't know. 1945 01:37:29.000 --> 01:37:31.199 No, there is no law that, yeah, you have to 1946 01:37:31.239 --> 01:37:36.119 have liability dictated by the state. As far as collision coverage, 1947 01:37:36.199 --> 01:37:39.000 it's usually a policy of the lender. 1948 01:37:40.000 --> 01:37:43.159 Right, And that's every vehicle I've ever purchased, I've had 1949 01:37:43.159 --> 01:37:45.399 full coverage all the works, he said when he was 1950 01:37:45.439 --> 01:37:47.840 online checking off the boxes of what he wanted on 1951 01:37:47.880 --> 01:37:51.439 it on progress his website, he had the option of 1952 01:37:51.479 --> 01:37:54.760 either taking collision and also you and I so, and 1953 01:37:54.800 --> 01:37:56.680 when he clicked on those, it of course jacked it 1954 01:37:56.760 --> 01:37:58.920 up radically. He goes, well, I don't really need those, 1955 01:37:59.079 --> 01:38:02.039 so he took them off and it allowed it. 1956 01:38:02.479 --> 01:38:05.359 Then that's well that you can't blame them for not 1957 01:38:05.439 --> 01:38:09.840 doing not protecting themselves. Do you get what I'm getting at, Brian. 1958 01:38:10.279 --> 01:38:13.880 You can't blame them because really collision is to protect 1959 01:38:13.880 --> 01:38:17.079 themselves because right now your kid can walk away from 1960 01:38:17.079 --> 01:38:20.800 this car and go bankrupt on the loan and they 1961 01:38:20.800 --> 01:38:23.039 don't have a way of getting the car fixed. 1962 01:38:23.680 --> 01:38:26.319 Right, And we've talked about that, but then we thought 1963 01:38:26.359 --> 01:38:29.359 about the kid got the ticket, he's going to go 1964 01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:31.840 to court, and now I'm looking he wants my son 1965 01:38:31.920 --> 01:38:34.159 wants to sue him, and say, yeah, well well you should. 1966 01:38:34.199 --> 01:38:37.199 But does this Does the other driver have insurance? 1967 01:38:38.079 --> 01:38:40.479 No? In fact, the next day he came back with 1968 01:38:40.600 --> 01:38:44.439 insurance and a registration that he purchased, showed it to 1969 01:38:44.479 --> 01:38:47.920 the judge or whatever, and he got his vehicle out 1970 01:38:47.960 --> 01:38:49.640 of impound. 1971 01:38:49.720 --> 01:38:52.680 The vehicle Yeah, okay, back, Yeah, they don't hold that 1972 01:38:52.720 --> 01:38:55.399 against him. They'll let him have the vehicle if it's insured. 1973 01:38:55.439 --> 01:38:57.399 But here's what I want to know, though, did the 1974 01:38:57.479 --> 01:38:58.880 judge order restitution? 1975 01:39:00.680 --> 01:39:02.680 I don't know yet because I keep asking my son, 1976 01:39:02.720 --> 01:39:05.239 I go, when's the court date on that? Because all 1977 01:39:05.319 --> 01:39:07.279 he did was he was able to go into whomever 1978 01:39:07.760 --> 01:39:10.319 show him that I've got insurance on this truck now 1979 01:39:10.720 --> 01:39:13.000 and I've got here that's registered to me. Now. 1980 01:39:13.119 --> 01:39:15.479 Yeah, but he doesn't get to go off free just 1981 01:39:15.560 --> 01:39:19.520 because I mean, he's he's responsible for the damage. 1982 01:39:20.279 --> 01:39:21.000 I agree. 1983 01:39:21.319 --> 01:39:25.239 He has contacted the Rapahoe County DA, and I guess 1984 01:39:25.239 --> 01:39:28.279 they will go after him. But again, we can't find 1985 01:39:28.319 --> 01:39:30.039 I can't find out what the court date is. I go, 1986 01:39:30.560 --> 01:39:31.600 and that's what you just called. 1987 01:39:31.960 --> 01:39:35.079 Why don't you call the district's attorney and find out? Now, 1988 01:39:35.119 --> 01:39:36.760 does he have a loan on He does have a 1989 01:39:36.840 --> 01:39:40.119 loan on this, right, he does. You may want to 1990 01:39:40.199 --> 01:39:47.399 check one thing. Sometimes there are what's called fleet coverages 1991 01:39:48.760 --> 01:39:56.199 on cars that are financed that automatically go into effect 1992 01:39:56.560 --> 01:40:01.840 when the barrower coverage. 1993 01:40:02.560 --> 01:40:05.479 Yeah, I think the agent that he talked with, he 1994 01:40:05.520 --> 01:40:07.760 said that they do not have that at Progressive. 1995 01:40:09.600 --> 01:40:12.960 No, it's not progressive, listen, I'm not talking about progressive. 1996 01:40:13.279 --> 01:40:16.479 I'm talking about Key. I'm talking about the finance company. 1997 01:40:17.399 --> 01:40:23.239 Finance companies have what's called forced coverage. And here's the 1998 01:40:23.279 --> 01:40:27.079 way it works. At any given time, they have let's 1999 01:40:27.119 --> 01:40:31.279 say a thousand vehicles financed, and they have this blanket 2000 01:40:31.399 --> 01:40:37.600 coverage that automatically covers any of those vehicles that an 2001 01:40:37.720 --> 01:40:39.479 owner drops. 2002 01:40:40.960 --> 01:40:42.199 Now, I see. 2003 01:40:42.119 --> 01:40:45.159 That, and it's called forced coverage. But I got to 2004 01:40:45.199 --> 01:40:49.720 tell you something, even if that is in effect, the 2005 01:40:49.920 --> 01:40:53.920 only thing it would cover is the lender for the balance, 2006 01:40:54.479 --> 01:40:55.079 nothing else. 2007 01:40:55.119 --> 01:40:56.199 Okay. 2008 01:40:57.039 --> 01:40:59.479 It would not fix the car. It would pay off 2009 01:40:59.479 --> 01:40:59.880 the loan. 2010 01:41:00.920 --> 01:41:01.479 Okay. 2011 01:41:02.039 --> 01:41:04.880 Well, and I talked to him about, you know, filing 2012 01:41:04.880 --> 01:41:08.119 bankruptcy and walking away from it. He's worried because he 2013 01:41:08.159 --> 01:41:10.960 has a top secret of clearance for Antarctica. 2014 01:41:11.399 --> 01:41:12.039 He'll lose it. 2015 01:41:12.119 --> 01:41:13.680 He'll lose it, and that's what. 2016 01:41:13.640 --> 01:41:15.640 He's worried about, because he wants to go back down there. 2017 01:41:16.199 --> 01:41:19.119 Well, then you need to help him. Somebody needs to 2018 01:41:19.119 --> 01:41:21.239 pay the bill. You need to fix the car and 2019 01:41:21.399 --> 01:41:24.079 keep it going. I mean how many? And then you 2020 01:41:24.159 --> 01:41:26.920 need to sue this kid. But getting a judgment against 2021 01:41:26.960 --> 01:41:28.439 this kid is not going to do anything. 2022 01:41:29.079 --> 01:41:30.920 Yeah, I know, because certainly got to collect it, and 2023 01:41:30.920 --> 01:41:33.199 if he doesn't have any money, that's right, worse than 2024 01:41:33.239 --> 01:41:35.199 the sell his truck to pay for rest. 2025 01:41:35.399 --> 01:41:37.800 Hey, Brian, your voice sounds familiar, Do I know you? 2026 01:41:38.319 --> 01:41:39.239 Yeah, tomm you round? 2027 01:41:39.239 --> 01:41:43.680 Okay, fine, okay, So listen man, this is a terrible situation. 2028 01:41:44.479 --> 01:41:45.479 Yeah. 2029 01:41:46.000 --> 01:41:49.920 Yeah, somehow he's going to have to pay it. I mean, 2030 01:41:49.960 --> 01:41:51.479 I don't know how else to say it. He's got 2031 01:41:51.520 --> 01:41:53.960 to pay it. Yeah, he's already got a loan. He 2032 01:41:53.960 --> 01:41:55.960 can't get another loan on the car. I mean, how 2033 01:41:56.039 --> 01:41:57.840 much does this car worth through? How much does they 2034 01:41:58.039 --> 01:41:58.279 on it? 2035 01:41:58.960 --> 01:42:00.680 He goes twenty on it right now, and. 2036 01:42:00.600 --> 01:42:02.279 He's got another twenty in damage. 2037 01:42:02.880 --> 01:42:04.279 Yeah, it's going twenty seven. 2038 01:42:04.760 --> 01:42:07.000 Well, he'll be into the vehicle for more than it's worth. 2039 01:42:07.319 --> 01:42:10.359 I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's Brian. You don't want to 2040 01:42:10.359 --> 01:42:14.119 hear it. It's an impossible situation for him, and he 2041 01:42:14.199 --> 01:42:17.720 may lose his clearance, but that's probably, in my opinion, 2042 01:42:17.800 --> 01:42:20.359 the smartest way out at this point.

I just have 2093 01:45:19.720 --> 01:45:22.800 a tag to ride around on some land or whatever. 2094 01:45:22.840 --> 01:45:25.840 So they have a dirt bike, and how do you 2095 01:45:25.880 --> 01:45:29.079 secure it from theft. Well, you don't. They can pop 2096 01:45:29.119 --> 01:45:33.880 that thing in a trunk in a pickup truck. I mean, 2097 01:45:34.000 --> 01:45:37.439 you know, he said, there are electric disablers for spark 2098 01:45:37.479 --> 01:45:40.720 plugs and circuits and hidden switches. Okay, so you can't 2099 01:45:40.800 --> 01:45:43.399 start it. That's not going to keep someone from stealing it. 2100 01:45:43.920 --> 01:45:47.039 What about things like the club maybe, or something you 2101 01:45:47.079 --> 01:45:50.119 put around the handlebars of the wheels. That still is 2102 01:45:50.159 --> 01:45:52.640 not going to keep someone from from taking it. 2103 01:45:52.760 --> 01:45:54.399 Yeah, you can still look at you can pick fru. 2104 01:45:54.479 --> 01:45:56.479 I know, you can pick the damn thing up with 2105 01:45:56.560 --> 01:46:00.039 a hoist or something and load it. So, really, what 2106 01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:01.960 do you do if you if you want to take 2107 01:46:02.000 --> 01:46:03.800 it on the trail and you park it, I mean, 2108 01:46:03.840 --> 01:46:06.920 what do you do? What do people do with dirt bikes? 2109 01:46:07.119 --> 01:46:10.159 You'd almost have to keep it inside and put an AirTag. 2110 01:46:09.800 --> 01:46:13.439 On it and then an alarm. 2111 01:46:13.479 --> 01:46:15.720 Oh they you know, but a lot only keeps an 2112 01:46:15.720 --> 01:46:16.560 honest man, honest. 2113 01:46:16.920 --> 01:46:18.920 Yeah, I know. All right, Now let's go back to 2114 01:46:18.960 --> 01:46:22.119 the phones. Three oh three seven one three talk a 2115 01:46:22.159 --> 01:46:26.119 twenty fourteen Chevy, and Paula Tony had a question about it. 2116 01:46:26.239 --> 01:46:28.960 He says, does it have that CBT transmission? 2117 01:46:29.279 --> 01:46:29.920 No, it does not. 2118 01:46:30.039 --> 01:46:34.279 It does not, which a CVT is continuously variable. Yeah, 2119 01:46:34.359 --> 01:46:36.840 it's it's it's a better transmission in that it doesn't 2120 01:46:36.840 --> 01:46:38.960 have moving parts, right, No, it definitely has movie I 2121 01:46:39.000 --> 01:46:40.239 mean not as many movie. 2122 01:46:40.119 --> 01:46:41.800 Not as many moving parts, that's for sure. 2123 01:46:42.319 --> 01:46:44.000 And what else is good about it? 2124 01:46:44.840 --> 01:46:47.800 They sell well? So other than that, I mean I've 2125 01:46:47.800 --> 01:46:50.000 said before, you know, probably the best CVT on the 2126 01:46:50.039 --> 01:46:51.319 markets inside the super. 2127 01:46:51.439 --> 01:46:54.600 Why do they put why did they make CVTs? They're cheaper? 2128 01:46:54.800 --> 01:46:58.119 Just fuel economy. Just about everything any of the manufacturers 2129 01:46:58.119 --> 01:46:59.840 do is going to be attacking fuel economy. 2130 01:46:59.840 --> 01:47:03.239 But is it cheaper to manufacture receiving? You know? Okay, 2131 01:47:03.520 --> 01:47:06.479 So what's your question about your twenty fourteen Chevy. 2132 01:47:06.279 --> 01:47:09.720 In pala Well, that was part of it was I 2133 01:47:09.800 --> 01:47:12.800 was I didn't know what type of transmission I had, 2134 01:47:12.840 --> 01:47:14.520 and I'm thinking, you know, I'd like the car to 2135 01:47:14.600 --> 01:47:15.439 last for a while. 2136 01:47:15.319 --> 01:47:17.880 And how many miles do you have on I just 2137 01:47:18.000 --> 01:47:18.600 under sixty? 2138 01:47:19.319 --> 01:47:24.520 Wow? That that car anymore? That car is pretty nice. 2139 01:47:25.319 --> 01:47:26.000 It's very nice. 2140 01:47:26.039 --> 01:47:28.000 Yeah, I really I really like you keep doing. 2141 01:47:28.359 --> 01:47:30.920 The only thing you can really do is just scheduled maintenance. 2142 01:47:30.960 --> 01:47:37.079 You know, Chevy has a very large timeframe and mileage span, 2143 01:47:37.159 --> 01:47:40.439 but they say to do things like a transmission service. Personally, 2144 01:47:40.439 --> 01:47:43.119 I recommend about every three years or thirty six thousand miles. 2145 01:47:43.359 --> 01:47:44.199 What do you do flush? 2146 01:47:44.600 --> 01:47:47.000 Well, I don't care for flushes. So but we say 2147 01:47:47.199 --> 01:47:48.880 that one actually has a pan, we would drop the 2148 01:47:48.920 --> 01:47:51.880 pan and drop the change the filter and ye, and 2149 01:47:51.920 --> 01:47:54.039 so back up. There's the most cost effective means you 2150 01:47:54.039 --> 01:47:57.039 can use trying to maximize life. 2151 01:47:57.239 --> 01:47:58.479 Yeah, because I had it. 2152 01:47:58.560 --> 01:48:00.960 I had it recently, Danda. 2153 01:48:01.079 --> 01:48:04.479 Last year, I had a flush, was recommended at a 2154 01:48:04.520 --> 01:48:06.760 dealership and I went ahead and did that. 2155 01:48:06.800 --> 01:48:07.560 But then I heard you. 2156 01:48:07.479 --> 01:48:10.199 Guys talking about that, and I thought I probably would 2157 01:48:10.239 --> 01:48:11.680 have been better off having the hold. 2158 01:48:12.079 --> 01:48:14.079 But you did have it flush. Did you have your 2159 01:48:14.159 --> 01:48:15.039 filter changed? 2160 01:48:16.479 --> 01:48:17.359 You know, I don't know. 2161 01:48:17.640 --> 01:48:18.680 It's hard to know. 2162 01:48:18.800 --> 01:48:20.359 You wouldn't with a flush. They don't problem. 2163 01:48:20.399 --> 01:48:21.439 Yeah, typically they don't. 2164 01:48:21.479 --> 01:48:21.800 I know that. 2165 01:48:21.880 --> 01:48:24.000 I know that was a policy of rules. Even though 2166 01:48:24.039 --> 01:48:26.319 they flushed it, they did change the filter. Also. 2167 01:48:26.720 --> 01:48:28.680 It's almost like, why then if you're going to pull 2168 01:48:28.760 --> 01:48:29.840 the pan, it's going to drain. 2169 01:48:29.680 --> 01:48:32.079 A Yeah, you might as well just go ahead, you know, 2170 01:48:32.199 --> 01:48:34.319 I drop the pan, change the filter, and do it 2171 01:48:34.319 --> 01:48:36.560 the old confessional way. And if you do it at 2172 01:48:36.560 --> 01:48:38.880 scheduled times, like I say three years a thirty six, 2173 01:48:38.920 --> 01:48:40.920 then something like a flush is not necessary. 2174 01:48:41.159 --> 01:48:43.600 So when did you have that done? That flush? 2175 01:48:44.039 --> 01:48:46.279 That would that would have been I think it was 2176 01:48:46.319 --> 01:48:48.479 in November of twenty three. 2177 01:48:49.239 --> 01:48:52.039 Yeah, So does he bother during the filter? Now? 2178 01:48:53.000 --> 01:48:55.439 I mean it's if everything came out good and he's 2179 01:48:55.640 --> 01:48:57.920 not having any problems right now, then I would say no, Wait, 2180 01:48:58.000 --> 01:48:59.680 let's say yeah, I just go ahead and wait until 2181 01:48:59.720 --> 01:49:01.720 you said you had about sixty thousand on it, So 2182 01:49:01.760 --> 01:49:03.840 wait until you get about up to ninety and maybe 2183 01:49:03.920 --> 01:49:08.159 ninety five thousand and do a conventional service. Then sounds good. 2184 01:49:08.199 --> 01:49:10.039 Can I ask you one other question about sure? 2185 01:49:10.880 --> 01:49:11.479 Driving down? 2186 01:49:11.640 --> 01:49:15.760 I drive up and down seventy a lot, and I 2187 01:49:15.800 --> 01:49:18.319 always have I put it in like fourth gear on 2188 01:49:18.359 --> 01:49:20.520 those you know where you're going downhill for like five 2189 01:49:20.560 --> 01:49:23.279 minutes because I don't want to be right in the trade. 2190 01:49:23.520 --> 01:49:24.560 Is that bad? 2191 01:49:24.720 --> 01:49:26.359 Is that hard on that transmission? 2192 01:49:27.000 --> 01:49:28.520 No? I mean I do the same thing. 2193 01:49:29.319 --> 01:49:31.000 Is it easier on the transmission? 2194 01:49:31.119 --> 01:49:33.520 I wouldn't say it's easier. You're playing different clutches, and 2195 01:49:33.560 --> 01:49:35.880 so you get what they call engine breaking, which is 2196 01:49:35.920 --> 01:49:38.039 going to pull back onto the bit so that you're 2197 01:49:38.079 --> 01:49:40.079 not writing the brake all the way down that hill. 2198 01:49:40.520 --> 01:49:42.359 Even if it was, butter're on the transmission. You know, 2199 01:49:42.399 --> 01:49:44.239 if you're talking about keeping your breaks cool and being 2200 01:49:44.279 --> 01:49:45.960 able to stay alive, it's still a better option. 2201 01:49:48.079 --> 01:49:53.159 Okay, thanks, Tony, I appreciate sure. Three oh three seven 2202 01:49:53.199 --> 01:49:59.239 one three eight two five five. Now it's Bennett has 2203 01:49:59.279 --> 01:50:05.439 a two thousand and nine Volkswagen Beetle. Possible transmission issue. Bennett, 2204 01:50:05.800 --> 01:50:08.800 I've heard about this Beetle before you bought it for 2205 01:50:08.880 --> 01:50:09.960 your wife. Isn't that right? 2206 01:50:10.920 --> 01:50:11.840 That is correct? 2207 01:50:12.199 --> 01:50:13.039 And what's wrong with it? 2208 01:50:13.119 --> 01:50:13.319 Now? 2209 01:50:13.960 --> 01:50:16.760 Well, Tom, here's the thing. I've had it into the 2210 01:50:16.840 --> 01:50:22.319 dealership for a week. They called today they said, we're 2211 01:50:22.359 --> 01:50:26.439 not sure what's wrong. We'd like to change transmission fluod. 2212 01:50:27.680 --> 01:50:29.520 What do you mean they don't know what's wrong? What 2213 01:50:29.600 --> 01:50:30.920 was it in there for? To begin with? 2214 01:50:31.359 --> 01:50:35.479 Well, what it is when my wife first starts to accelerate, 2215 01:50:35.920 --> 01:50:39.760 it kind of hesitates, and then if she steps down 2216 01:50:40.039 --> 01:50:42.760 on the gas a little more, she's good to go. 2217 01:50:43.840 --> 01:50:46.000 And it doesn't do it all. 2218 01:50:45.880 --> 01:50:50.199 The time, and why what did they want to do? 2219 01:50:51.960 --> 01:50:52.239 Tom? 2220 01:50:52.279 --> 01:50:55.800 This is what really frustrates me. They called today, they've 2221 01:50:55.840 --> 01:50:58.520 had it a week. They said, why don't we just 2222 01:50:58.680 --> 01:51:02.880 change transmission? Food in it for a thousand bucks? 2223 01:51:03.079 --> 01:51:04.399 And that's very ridiculous. 2224 01:51:04.600 --> 01:51:07.920 That's ridiculous, very ridiculous. That has nothing to do with 2225 01:51:07.960 --> 01:51:08.680 the transmission. 2226 01:51:08.800 --> 01:51:10.279 Break it to me. I'll do it for nine ninety nine. 2227 01:51:10.319 --> 01:51:15.039 You want to listen look it, Bennett, what you described, 2228 01:51:15.640 --> 01:51:18.119 I can't even imagine how changes. 2229 01:51:17.800 --> 01:51:20.359 It almost it almost sounds more like he's getting a 2230 01:51:20.359 --> 01:51:21.159 thwaller response. 2231 01:51:21.199 --> 01:51:23.439 Prob Yeah, I mean this has nothing to do with 2232 01:51:23.479 --> 01:51:24.920 the transmission. Most likely. 2233 01:51:25.720 --> 01:51:28.359 Well, you know, Tom, I'm not sure. But when they 2234 01:51:28.439 --> 01:51:31.880 call today, like I said, they've had it Monday through today. 2235 01:51:31.840 --> 01:51:33.760 I would just take it, say don't do anything. 2236 01:51:34.119 --> 01:51:37.079 We are my wife's going down to pick it up now. 2237 01:51:37.560 --> 01:51:40.880 But my question is where do I take it? Where 2238 01:51:41.399 --> 01:51:44.680 it And the problem is it doesn't do it every 2239 01:51:44.760 --> 01:51:47.159 time when you first start out, No, I get it. 2240 01:51:47.239 --> 01:51:50.119 Kind of hesitates. She steps out of the gas a 2241 01:51:50.159 --> 01:51:51.119 little more in a way. 2242 01:51:51.199 --> 01:51:54.880 She goes, that could be anything, Bennett, Honest to god, Bennett, 2243 01:51:54.920 --> 01:51:57.359 let me ask you something. What dealer. Did you have it? 2244 01:51:57.520 --> 01:51:58.640 Where did you have it? 2245 01:51:58.840 --> 01:52:02.640 I had it a tiny and I'm very disappointed with him. 2246 01:52:03.680 --> 01:52:06.680 Well, I'm disappointed that they want to change transmission fluid 2247 01:52:06.680 --> 01:52:10.840 and see if it helps. At one thousand dollars, that's ridiculous. 2248 01:52:11.239 --> 01:52:14.199 Well they even said today we're not sure if that'll 2249 01:52:14.520 --> 01:52:15.920 carrier how much? 2250 01:52:16.000 --> 01:52:19.119 Jeff, if he did service that transmission, would it be Oh? 2251 01:52:19.159 --> 01:52:22.279 And that one we're looking at three eight? 2252 01:52:23.560 --> 01:52:25.720 You know, Tom, and you don't need it. You don't 2253 01:52:25.720 --> 01:52:28.159 need it. I would take it. I would take it 2254 01:52:28.199 --> 01:52:31.960 over to share it in auto tech, you know what. 2255 01:52:32.039 --> 01:52:34.439 And I think that's exactly what I'm going to do. 2256 01:52:34.760 --> 01:52:36.960 But you know, Tom, I always say, if somebody's going 2257 01:52:37.039 --> 01:52:39.640 to screw me, use a gun. 2258 01:52:39.640 --> 01:52:42.760 Use a gun. Oh I've always heard never. 2259 01:52:42.600 --> 01:52:46.840 Mind, Hey, I mean Griffin dollars to change transmission flud. 2260 01:52:46.920 --> 01:52:50.199 Come on now, Griffin, what do you think with Action 2261 01:52:50.319 --> 01:52:55.079 Automotive Colorado Springs.

Yeah, it could be a it 2265 01:53:01.920 --> 01:53:05.439 could be something simple, you know, with the throttle itself. 2266 01:53:06.199 --> 01:53:07.720 I'm we'd have to look at it to know for sure. 2267 01:53:08.000 --> 01:53:10.079 I could have a dirty throttle plate. It could have 2268 01:53:10.359 --> 01:53:12.880 you know, smart flugs that are starting to get tired. 2269 01:53:13.399 --> 01:53:14.039 I do know this. 2270 01:53:14.399 --> 01:53:16.439 I worked for Volkswagen for six months and it was 2271 01:53:16.439 --> 01:53:17.760 the worst six months of my life. 2272 01:53:18.039 --> 01:53:19.560 How many miles on that, Bennett? 2273 01:53:20.159 --> 01:53:21.119 It's under fifty? 2274 01:53:22.359 --> 01:53:24.920 Oh wow, I'll tell you what you know.

Tom? 2278 01:53:31.000 --> 01:53:32.640 Well, no, you can't go all the way down to 2279 01:53:32.680 --> 01:53:33.479 the Springs for it. 2280 01:53:33.920 --> 01:53:36.119 If he wants to see the best looking technician he can. 2281 01:53:37.760 --> 01:53:39.600 I didn't see that snapshot yet they were going to 2282 01:53:39.640 --> 01:53:43.439 put up with that's a two for right there.

But that's where it 2379 01:58:19.560 --> 01:58:22.560 has become difficult, is if you're not an established business 2380 01:58:22.960 --> 01:58:25.840 trying to come up with the value of that profit. 2381 01:58:26.000 --> 01:58:29.119 But I mean, how does he fight this?

Yeah, very high possibility. 2462 02:02:14.960 --> 02:02:16.680 Why because of the age of that vehicle. 2463 02:02:18.640 --> 02:02:20.600 Because that fuel line goes right up over the engine 2464 02:02:20.640 --> 02:02:23.520 and get the other side of the carburetor and that's 2465 02:02:23.520 --> 02:02:25.680 all hot right there. I'm like God, because I did 2466 02:02:25.680 --> 02:02:27.399 everything I did, rebuilt the car. 2467 02:02:27.640 --> 02:02:29.319 Now does it happen in the winter? 2468 02:02:31.199 --> 02:02:32.199 Oh yeah, yep. 2469 02:02:32.319 --> 02:02:33.119 Happens then too? 2470 02:02:33.720 --> 02:02:37.079 What why would it happen then? 2471 02:02:38.199 --> 02:02:40.640 I mean unless I didn't, I could. 2472 02:02:40.399 --> 02:02:42.760 Not let it cool. Let me ask you this, how 2473 02:02:42.800 --> 02:02:45.239 long has it been going on? How long has it 2474 02:02:45.279 --> 02:02:45.720 been going on? 2475 02:02:45.760 --> 02:02:48.079 Oh? Ever, since I got it a couple couple of years. 2476 02:02:48.119 --> 02:02:49.399 Now I just dealt with it. 2477 02:02:49.520 --> 02:02:50.800 I just sit there and wait for it. 2478 02:02:50.760 --> 02:02:52.880 To cool down a little bit, and then it finally 2479 02:02:52.960 --> 02:02:53.880 starts after a while. 2480 02:02:53.960 --> 02:02:55.600 Griffin, what do you think a little ether? 2481 02:02:59.119 --> 02:03:02.560 I'm not as I'm not as familiar with the with 2482 02:03:02.600 --> 02:03:05.399 the older carbureting systems like that. I'd have to actually 2483 02:03:05.399 --> 02:03:07.279 get eyes on it to check that out. 2484 02:03:08.600 --> 02:03:11.399 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. 2485 02:03:11.439 --> 02:03:13.560 I was thinking wrapping the fuel lines seeing if it'll 2486 02:03:13.560 --> 02:03:14.239 stay cooler. 2487 02:03:14.680 --> 02:03:15.720 Maybe doing that, but I. 2488 02:03:15.680 --> 02:03:22.720 Willn't definitely be a good start, right, Well, yeah, you 2489 02:03:22.840 --> 02:03:26.279 got to do something to to at least mitigate the heat. 2490 02:03:26.600 --> 02:03:29.319 But it doesn't make sense to me. Maybe you guys 2491 02:03:29.319 --> 02:03:31.840 feel differently that it would happen in the winter. 2492 02:03:32.079 --> 02:03:34.640 Well, the proximity of the fuel line next to the engine. 2493 02:03:34.399 --> 02:03:36.760 You do. Do you know they sell something. 2494 02:03:36.560 --> 02:03:38.880 Called the heat right over the valve covers? 2495 02:03:38.960 --> 02:03:41.760 Okay, do you know they sell something called heat shield? 2496 02:03:41.880 --> 02:03:44.359 Have you ever seen heat shield. 2497 02:03:44.520 --> 02:03:46.720 I have, And that's why before I went and bought it, 2498 02:03:46.720 --> 02:03:48.720 I was like, God, I should have someone can't hurt. 2499 02:03:48.760 --> 02:03:51.159 I know this, It can't hurt. 2500 02:03:51.720 --> 02:03:53.640 No, wrap all the lines right there and see if 2501 02:03:53.640 --> 02:03:54.479 it keeps it cooler. 2502 02:03:55.000 --> 02:03:58.479 Right, and some heat shield you wrap. Some heat shields 2503 02:03:58.479 --> 02:04:01.359 you just put on one side. It depends on what 2504 02:04:01.479 --> 02:04:02.359 kind of over. 2505 02:04:02.199 --> 02:04:06.119 The injection system.

Chuck, you 2557 02:06:18.000 --> 02:06:21.000 just called them already, my dead Tom. 2558 02:06:21.039 --> 02:06:24.439 And what they said is when this started, I had 2559 02:06:24.439 --> 02:06:27.039 to send in the video of the damage to the 2560 02:06:27.079 --> 02:06:31.359 car with pictures, which I did, and they sent back 2561 02:06:31.520 --> 02:06:36.119 an estimate. I take it back. They sent back, Yeah, 2562 02:06:36.199 --> 02:06:39.520 an estimate of what they would pay, and they said, 2563 02:06:39.560 --> 02:06:42.840 that's all we're going to pay unless you take your 2564 02:06:42.880 --> 02:06:46.520 car to a qualified body shop and have it tore 2565 02:06:46.640 --> 02:06:50.119 down and repair it. Then we'll pay them. But all 2566 02:06:50.119 --> 02:06:53.399 we'll going to pay now is yestimak that we gave you. 2567 02:06:54.199 --> 02:06:57.319 Yestimateth they gave me is two thousand dollars. And the 2568 02:06:57.399 --> 02:07:00.960 power mirror on my car to replace, he said, just 2569 02:07:01.199 --> 02:07:04.880 to buy the part cost fifteen hundred dollars. So have 2570 02:07:04.960 --> 02:07:08.439 you ever seen an estimate on a video and pictures? 2571 02:07:09.119 --> 02:07:13.119 But here's what they're saying. Here, here's what they're saying, Chuck. 2572 02:07:13.399 --> 02:07:15.399 They're saying that they don't know if they can rely 2573 02:07:16.039 --> 02:07:18.760 on you to do it without getting some kind of 2574 02:07:18.760 --> 02:07:21.920 professional opinion on what it will cost to fix. You 2575 02:07:22.000 --> 02:07:25.199 can get a professional estimate, but they don't have to 2576 02:07:25.239 --> 02:07:28.359 do the fixing as long as it's a professional estimate. 2577 02:07:28.920 --> 02:07:30.039 That's what I'm getting at. 2578 02:07:30.880 --> 02:07:34.960 No, it was a professional estimate the one I gave them. 2579 02:07:35.159 --> 02:07:37.560 And did they tear it down and look at it? 2580 02:07:38.840 --> 02:07:41.479 No, they said the only way we're going to tear 2581 02:07:41.479 --> 02:07:41.840 it down there. 2582 02:07:41.920 --> 02:07:43.920 Where are you going to fix your car? Chuck? Where 2583 02:07:43.960 --> 02:07:46.279 are you going to fix it? 2584 02:07:46.279 --> 02:07:52.479 It's called uh Perry and Terry Autobody shop. 2585 02:07:52.560 --> 02:07:54.359 No, No, you said you were going to do the work. 2586 02:07:55.239 --> 02:07:57.840 No, but do I got the estimate at That's right? 2587 02:07:57.880 --> 02:07:59.920 Well, Perry and Terry. It is a good shopper, used 2588 02:07:59.960 --> 02:08:00.720 to be a great shot. 2589 02:08:00.960 --> 02:08:03.680 But what I mean is they are yeah, okay, so. 2590 02:08:03.640 --> 02:08:10.319 You're saying that progressive will not will not recognize me. 2591 02:08:11.199 --> 02:08:14.640 Let me do the body work if I won because 2592 02:08:14.640 --> 02:08:17.319 they gave me an estimate when they looked at the 2593 02:08:17.359 --> 02:08:20.760 pictures in the video and they says, that's all we're 2594 02:08:20.800 --> 02:08:24.760 going to pay. Okay, you're now the way they're going 2595 02:08:24.800 --> 02:08:27.119 to fix it is if I take it to Terry 2596 02:08:27.119 --> 02:08:30.600 and Perry and have it tore down and have them 2597 02:08:30.680 --> 02:08:33.319 do the work. Then they'll pay them to do it. 2598 02:08:34.079 --> 02:08:38.319 Okay, they have a right at Progressive to inspect the 2599 02:08:38.359 --> 02:08:42.079 car and to estimate the car. I don't I think 2600 02:08:42.119 --> 02:08:44.439 they're stepping a bit. Who do you talk to when 2601 02:08:44.479 --> 02:08:45.520 you call Progressive? 2602 02:08:47.359 --> 02:08:47.640 Well? 2603 02:08:47.920 --> 02:08:50.279 I got an agent to begin with, and then he 2604 02:08:50.319 --> 02:08:52.319 could not answer the questions that I asked. 2605 02:08:52.479 --> 02:08:54.399 No, but when you call back, who do you talk 2606 02:08:54.439 --> 02:08:57.640 to the same person over and over? 2607 02:08:58.640 --> 02:08:58.760 Uh? 2608 02:08:59.079 --> 02:09:02.399 Sometimes yes? And then I talked to a supervisor, a 2609 02:09:02.439 --> 02:09:04.239 supervisor and she and you're go. 2610 02:09:04.239 --> 02:09:06.760 Through a broker? Are you going directly to Progressive? 2611 02:09:08.880 --> 02:09:09.720 True Progressive? 2612 02:09:11.399 --> 02:09:12.680 So it's an eight hundred number. 2613 02:09:13.640 --> 02:09:13.880 Yes. 2614 02:09:15.880 --> 02:09:19.119 I want Brian to look into this. I don't think 2615 02:09:19.119 --> 02:09:21.279 he has to look into your problem. I want him 2616 02:09:21.279 --> 02:09:25.000 to look into self repair because they are not allowed 2617 02:09:25.039 --> 02:09:28.840 to refuse you to fix. They can limit what they 2618 02:09:28.960 --> 02:09:31.840 pay based on a professional specially. 2619 02:09:31.439 --> 02:09:34.560 Exactly what they're saying right now if you listen to them. 2620 02:09:35.279 --> 02:09:38.279 Yeah, that's what they're saying. That they look at the video, Chuck, 2621 02:09:38.279 --> 02:09:39.359 can they look at the picture? 2622 02:09:39.399 --> 02:09:39.600 Chuck? 2623 02:09:39.720 --> 02:09:42.560 Please don't say it again, Chuck, please stop? Okay, stop 2624 02:09:42.560 --> 02:09:45.640 the loop I hear you. Well, here's what I'm saying. 2625 02:09:46.399 --> 02:09:49.680 I think that if you literally had a body shop 2626 02:09:50.199 --> 02:09:58.079 do an itemized estimate, you could do the repairs because 2627 02:09:58.199 --> 02:10:01.640 all they care about is the that they're not overpaying. 2628 02:10:01.760 --> 02:10:03.800 But they're gonna have he's gonna have to pay someone 2629 02:10:03.840 --> 02:10:06.000 to tear down and really figure out your. 2630 02:10:05.760 --> 02:10:08.800 Insurance, your insurance. Do you have a loan on this car? 2631 02:10:08.880 --> 02:10:10.560 By the way, No, I don't. 2632 02:10:11.359 --> 02:10:14.680 Then your insurance doesn't care if you do it correctly 2633 02:10:14.800 --> 02:10:18.439 or not. The only thing your insurance cares is that 2634 02:10:18.479 --> 02:10:22.119 they don't overpay. That's the only thing they care about. 2635 02:10:22.680 --> 02:10:25.039 That's why they gave you a low ball estimate. If 2636 02:10:25.079 --> 02:10:27.039 you want to do it yourself, they don't trust your 2637 02:10:27.199 --> 02:10:32.319 estimating skills, and they don't trust Perry and Terry for 2638 02:10:32.399 --> 02:10:36.319 a cursory. Look, what they're saying is they want to 2639 02:10:36.399 --> 02:10:41.279 know how much this is going to cost from a professional, 2640 02:10:41.800 --> 02:10:44.439 and when they find out, I don't think you'll have 2641 02:10:44.479 --> 02:10:47.720 a problem getting a check. The problem is once a 2642 02:10:47.760 --> 02:10:51.199 professional tears it down and estimates it, you're going to 2643 02:10:51.279 --> 02:10:55.319 have your car in a bucket of parts sitting in 2644 02:10:55.479 --> 02:10:58.079 a body shop, and that's going to cost you to 2645 02:10:58.119 --> 02:11:01.760 get estimated. So you're between a rock and a hard place. 2646 02:11:02.079 --> 02:11:06.920 They're not saying they won't let you fix it. They're 2647 02:11:07.039 --> 02:11:12.479 saying that they have the right to a professional estimation 2648 02:11:12.760 --> 02:11:15.680 of damages. I don't know why they don't send their 2649 02:11:15.680 --> 02:11:18.720 own adjuster out. I don't understand that part. 2650 02:11:18.640 --> 02:11:21.199 Because it's widely because an adjuster is not going to 2651 02:11:21.279 --> 02:11:22.760 tear it down, you know what I'm saying? 2652 02:11:23.279 --> 02:11:26.079 Yeah, but Mark, how many times do they really need 2653 02:11:26.159 --> 02:11:27.640 an adjuster to tear it down? 2654 02:11:27.800 --> 02:11:28.199 My god? 2655 02:11:28.279 --> 02:11:31.880 Man, I'm thinking of when ADDIE's car got rear ended 2656 02:11:31.920 --> 02:11:32.720 on twenty five. 2657 02:11:32.760 --> 02:11:35.039 If you looked at it, just the trunk was kind 2658 02:11:35.039 --> 02:11:35.640 of pushed in. 2659 02:11:36.359 --> 02:11:36.760 Get it. 2660 02:11:36.880 --> 02:11:40.319 The bottom line, Oh, the bottom line was the frame 2661 02:11:40.399 --> 02:11:41.119 got bit So. 2662 02:11:41.199 --> 02:11:41.720 I get it. 2663 02:11:41.760 --> 02:11:42.479 Who would have known? 2664 02:11:43.039 --> 02:11:45.840 Yeah? No, So what you're saying is they're not gonna 2665 02:11:46.039 --> 02:11:49.760 And here's another thing. If you start your own repairs, chuck, 2666 02:11:51.119 --> 02:11:54.760 and then you go ahead and need an auxiliary claim, 2667 02:11:55.279 --> 02:11:56.760 they're not gonna believe that either. 2668 02:11:58.680 --> 02:11:59.000 True. 2669 02:12:00.000 --> 02:12:02.319 But can I ask something? And I'm not saying you 2670 02:12:02.359 --> 02:12:05.960 don't have the right, I'm asking why do you want 2671 02:12:06.000 --> 02:12:06.880 to do it yourself? 2672 02:12:08.600 --> 02:12:11.000 Well, because I want the car fixed the way I 2673 02:12:11.119 --> 02:12:11.920 want it fixed. 2674 02:12:12.600 --> 02:12:14.640 What does that mean? To tell me what that means, 2675 02:12:14.720 --> 02:12:16.399 because I don't think you can do it as well 2676 02:12:16.439 --> 02:12:17.159 as Perrie. 2677 02:12:16.920 --> 02:12:19.800 Andary Well probably not. 2678 02:12:20.720 --> 02:12:23.479 But then tell me why are you trying to let 2679 02:12:23.479 --> 02:12:25.520 me and just be straight with me? Chuck? Are you 2680 02:12:25.600 --> 02:12:26.760 trying to make some money on this? 2681 02:12:26.920 --> 02:12:28.239 Maybe no? 2682 02:12:28.720 --> 02:12:31.880 Uh huh? Then what's the reason if he did? Who cares? 2683 02:12:31.960 --> 02:12:34.680 I mean, I don't care. I'm but I'm asking. I 2684 02:12:34.680 --> 02:12:36.439 don't care. I want to ask. I want to know 2685 02:12:36.479 --> 02:12:39.720 his motivation. There's got to be a motivation, otherwise you 2686 02:12:39.760 --> 02:12:41.439 would take it to a shop and have it done. 2687 02:12:42.840 --> 02:12:45.359 Tom, I'm an old timer. I'm maybe four years old, 2688 02:12:45.920 --> 02:12:47.800 and I've never been in a wreck for the last 2689 02:12:47.840 --> 02:12:50.680 fifty years. I was in a wrec fifty years ago. 2690 02:12:51.119 --> 02:12:55.319 And but Chuck, I'm just asking a simple question. Why 2691 02:12:55.439 --> 02:13:00.319 is it so important that you do the work? 2692 02:13:01.560 --> 02:13:04.600 It's not that important to me. What tease me off, 2693 02:13:04.680 --> 02:13:07.960 Tom is they won't give me a good estimate on 2694 02:13:08.119 --> 02:13:10.800 the car so I can do what I want with 2695 02:13:10.920 --> 02:13:11.399 the money. 2696 02:13:13.359 --> 02:13:15.560 Is it possible you're not going to fix the car? 2697 02:13:18.720 --> 02:13:21.600 It's I could flip a coin right now, So. 2698 02:13:21.720 --> 02:13:24.640 Chuck Waite, that's where so I do have the motivation? 2699 02:13:25.199 --> 02:13:28.079 You would rather just get paid for the damage. You're 2700 02:13:28.119 --> 02:13:30.720 allowed to do that. Did you know that you're allowed 2701 02:13:30.760 --> 02:13:31.279 to do that? 2702 02:13:32.600 --> 02:13:34.760 I told you it doesn't have to be secretive. 2703 02:13:34.840 --> 02:13:38.039 Man, if you don't have a loan on that car, 2704 02:13:38.600 --> 02:13:41.119 and they're not, you don't have a lender that is 2705 02:13:41.159 --> 02:13:45.319 a named insured, you have every right to collect every 2706 02:13:45.399 --> 02:13:48.640 penny for every piece of damage, and you do not 2707 02:13:48.840 --> 02:13:52.359 have to fix it. However, Progressive will cancel the insurance 2708 02:13:52.359 --> 02:13:54.720 after that, which is fine. But you have a right 2709 02:13:54.760 --> 02:13:58.720 to be paid. And in fact, if you get the estimate, 2710 02:13:59.159 --> 02:14:01.840 how much was the estimate from Perrietary. 2711 02:14:03.520 --> 02:14:05.560 Thirteen thousand, four hundred dollars? 2712 02:14:05.800 --> 02:14:09.439 Okay, I believe that you have a right to get paid, 2713 02:14:10.119 --> 02:14:13.560 and you can probably go to the insurance commissioner and 2714 02:14:13.600 --> 02:14:16.840 put in a formal complaint and get You have a 2715 02:14:16.920 --> 02:14:19.600 right to get paid for your damage. There's no two 2716 02:14:19.640 --> 02:14:22.880 ways about it. I just needed to know your motivation. 2717 02:14:23.079 --> 02:14:25.399 Now it makes sense to me. Why don't you just 2718 02:14:25.600 --> 02:14:28.319 tell them you want to get paid and you don't 2719 02:14:28.319 --> 02:14:31.600 plan on fixing your car.
