And Adrian, for our first time listeners, tell them again
about Winchester Tire and Alignment.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Winchester tur In Alignment that's been around since nineteen seventy
two at the same location, that is at eighteen thirty Winchester,
well mile west of the airport, went between Meal Branch
and Cazaza on Winchester.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Please please come and see us.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And especially I see the weather changing.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Adrian, it's gonna catch him.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
It's gonna catch him. It's gonna catch him. And come
in and see Adrian. You know, you can answer questions
on the air, but basically you like for them to
bring that automobile in.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
That's the best way. We can talk on the phone forever.
But without physically someone's seeing it doing a diagnostics only
make it a little hard to you know, to get
you right to the penny estimate, because most people want
they want give me an estimate, you know, give me
an estimate, right, we'll bring it to me, right, get
an estimate.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Right.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
But that's the that's the best way, right, So you have.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
To and y'all have to bring it in so Adrian,
you all will will look first see what's going on,
and then that's when you can give them an estimate
on their car, right to the penny estimate, okay, okay.
And and once they do that, what about Adrian. I
don't know if we ever talked about this. When they
come in and you give them an estimate, and most
(02:55):
likely you may not get to it that they Sometimes
will a customer.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Have to leave their car in some cases yes, And
it's also depending on what it is that you actually need,
of course to take a look at. If it's something
you know, driveability wise, of course. I'm my technicians. I
got a lot of general service, but I got a
few technicians.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
They're great. They do good work.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, but it may take them a little time to
get to it, but generally in a day or so,
I can get it in, take a look at it,
call you back with a price.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Okay. And again that's up to the customer whether the
way they want to deal with the price or not.
And you don't have a problem with that. If they say, man,
I can't do that, I.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Ain't mad at them. Right, I can't spend their pocket.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
But the best thing is I tell them you may
want at this point, you may be heading it go
somewhere else. Somebody else is going to tell you something.
Just keep in mind, kind of do apple to Apple,
we offer you twenty four month, twenty four thousand mile
warranty that's on parts and labor. Most people don't offer
you that. Most of them are twelve twelve, but just
(04:04):
do apple to apple, make it fair.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Okay, okay, Well I had an email and people I
had I had said earlier Adrian that you were coming in,
and Carolyn wanted to know says that, Hey bev Tell Adrian,
how do you know when you need new tires? My
car is kind of going wabble to wabble. Does that
mean I need new tires or what?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
How do you know when you need new tires? Good question, Carolyn?
Thank you. How do you know?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Well, if you have, if your tires are starting to
be in the age range of three to four years old,
it's time to do something because even though you're not driving,
if you're not a person that puts a lot of
miles on your billicle a year year and you driving
on not driving on them, they still sitting up their aging,
(04:56):
especially if you know you parked out in the elements
and different things. This nat that tire has a date
and a year that that tier has made. So even
if you even if you don't know that, you could
always look look it up online. Is the dot number?
The last four digits tell you what actual week, the
(05:19):
tiers made.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
In what year?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So that's on the tire. Oh, I never know that.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
So there's a number, there's a dot number. Okay, so
that so you can go online, go online and look
it and you'll see what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
We see, see that's good information. I didn't know that.
Wait a minute, because I was just thinking I've seen
numbers on the tire. I'm just thinking the company was
saying this many times.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Right, there's a lot of things that's on it. And
even in that dot number, it'll also tell you what
plan it was made, and you know and you know
what origin it's. It's a lot of information in that
dal team. So you're saying that, Okay, you you've had
a car, but if you your tires need to All
tires need to be replaced in at least three years,
(06:07):
three to four years, need to need to be seriously
thinking about getting them off of there because they're starting
to dry.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
And in her case, what she's saying that his car
is like it's gotten Yeah, that rubber is now starting
to try to come away from the steel and causing
the separation. So that's probably what she has going on.
So she need to go some one and let someone
check it out.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Okay, because I thought you could drive on the tires. Well,
you know, in my case, Adrian has fixed. I've gone
in and say, Adrian, my tire keeps going down, and
then Adrian and they check and it says, well, you
got a nail in there. You gotta you got one day, y'all.
I had two nails, two or three nails. But in
(06:46):
that kind of case like that, when you all because
you can't keep fixing it, can you.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No, once she started getting over three holes in it,
we really recommend. Okay, let's do something.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So get a new tire.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Let's try to get a new tire on there. But
depending on where you're going. Okay, most people don't catch
a bunch of nails right right exactly, so they might
be driving on the tire. They ain't never had a
flat on right right.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But but just uh, but it could be like you said,
it could be dry, rotten.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Could be rotten.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yes, and tires do that.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yes, Oh yeah, oh I didn't know that because of
the I was just okay, let me ask this question, Adrian.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So I've seen sometimes so is that the dry riding
when you see the tire is like it's it's shedding
or what.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Well, no, you can you can. You can take a
look at them dry rotten. You'll see them. They start
to get like a lot of cracks in them.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Okay, okay, and so yeah, it's time to do something.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay, you need to get some tires and at Winchester Tire.
So y'all do have tires.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Yes, yes, we do tars as well.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Okay, good, good, because you know that's good information. But
go on that look at that number and see what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yea, check that number out. I mean, my daughters, the
daddy the car. The car ain't that old. It ain't right,
exactly four years old, right, but you hadn't put tires
on it.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Okay, so it doesn't matter if it's three or four
years old.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Let's go take a look at them. Sure enough, then
I can show you see all these cracks.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
You come on down there, parking sister, so we can
put something.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I like it, Dad, I tell Parcket sister, we're talking
with Adrian, right, he is the master mechanic and manager
of Winchester Tire and Alignment.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I go to our phone lines and here what you
after say, hi, caller, how you doing that?
Speaker 6 (08:49):
Josh? Hey, unforgetful, hey, hey, miss no farage. I gotta
ask a question. It might say stupid to you, but
you know, back about forty to almost fifty years because
I used to love and work on car. Do they
still have Do they still have muffles under car?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (09:11):
So if I got a twenty twenty five or twenty
twenty one or whatever car, if there is a muffer
under there, yes, I'm going to ask you something about
the muffle you're doing it? Is it a lifetime thing
or can I replace it? Because of the sound of
(09:33):
the car? You know, I like man's is run real quiet,
but if there's a little sound under there. I know
about catad they converged it because we talked about that
in the past. But dealing with the muffer, can you,
you know, change it? Is it real?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
So you don't want to so Unforgetful, what you're saying
is that you don't want to you you don't want
to hear the sound?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Is it making a lot law law noise?
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Or asking him doing I'm just wondering about it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Can you change muff? Okay? Ask the question? Yeah, Well,
hold on, he's gonna answer your question. I forget for listen, okay, okay,
thank you. So he's gonna hang up and talk about
the muffler.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Okay, Now, mufflers.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Mufflers will develop holes in them because they of course
they rust out because of all the conversation that's always
going through them, you know, from the engine hot and
he's blowing.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
It out the back. They will, they will develop holes
in them.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
So you should, you know, get them checked if you
if you notice that your bills little loud, of course, uh,
sometimes pipes cracked.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
That leads to the muffler. It makes you think that,
of course you need a muffler.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But uh, if you're going into facility, that's one of
the things that we check in that thirty seven point
courage inspection, so we try to if you need one.
I'm wonna let you know, Hey, your mufflers got a
hold in it. You want to do something with it
while you're here with me. Most people say yes, and
it's not that often did of course I get the
(11:11):
opportunity to actually change a muffle, I change. I'm more
converters than I do mufflers. So so, Adrian, do you
have to have a muffler on your car.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Yeah, that joke is gonna be loud if you don't.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I was asked. I didn't know. So that's why all
these loud cards?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Or are they doing that on purpose or some of
them some of them are doing it on purpose, Okay, okay,
some of them kind of cutting the muffle off.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Yeah. I guess they think it sound good. But I
don't want to hear all that, right.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I don't want to hear all that racket either. I
don't want to hear all that racket either. W D
I a HI caller?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (11:44):
I just mean.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
I want to ask mister Rogers a quick question. If
I'm mister right, mister right, mister Wright, I apologize.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
No problem. How you doing today?
Speaker 7 (11:54):
I'm doing okay. I got a quick question for you.
Today's convention compared well today's well, yesterday's convention oil compelled
compared to synthetic oil of today. Most of the synthetic
all that you're getting out can go up to seventy
five hundred, ten thousand, and some of them even longer
than that. On the cars that you have to day
(12:16):
off all the cars, what do you suggest?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I'll be very very understand day, A lot of manufacturer
today is telling you that, of course that you can
drive that thing for ten thousand miles, right, But I'll
be honest with you, I wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Do over sixty five sixty five I would, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I stayed six thousand, you know, sixty five I would.
I would not drive it for that amount of miles because,
of course they don't tell you that the little grandma
that is driving and driving ten thousand miles, she ain't
driving a car like you and I are driving it.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
We're driving. That's right, that all breaks down. So I wouldn't.
I wouldn't do that, even as a synthetic, even if.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
It's synthetic, sixty five conventional, keep it around three ten thousand,
you want to keep it there, even.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
If even if it's says I just want to make sure,
even if it says you can go ten thousand on
without change.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
To your next oil change, I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
So you said sixty five, maybe seven thousand be pushing it,
but that'd be close enough.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yeah, I tell I tell all my Actually, if you
come into there, you come in the winches turn alignment,
and I do a full synthetical change on your vehicle.
When you get in your car, that sticker is gonna
say six thousand miles is when your next oil changes.
Do because that's that's just don't recommend doing it. And
(13:52):
I got some customers they will follow it to the
stat of what the you know, the cop manufacturer said
to do, and they adamant about doing it. But I
got customers that stick to that old school six thousand miles,
and I see them a lot less than I do
the one that's driving for ten because see, you're gonna
(14:14):
you're gonna drive it for ten D, you're gonna.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Push it a little further, you're gonna go for fifteen.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Right, and so let me let mess mister. Right, let
me ask you this real quick question. How often do
you recommend transmission flush or transmission chains.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
That's based on cards.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Well, that's based on of course, manufacturer, because some of
them actually running full synthetic and some of them running
just regular you know, transmission fluid in them.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Uh. I would say keep it at every thirty thirty,
five thousand.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
And if you got something that's got like a synthetic
in it, you know, sixty to seventy thousand, I would
be changing that out.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Okay, that was my question for today. Death to always
think you against allowed me to speak. I want you
and mister right, I want you to have a good
Thanksgiving as well.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Take care of everybody your friends.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Thank you for your question. So that that's important.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
That all oh, very transmission fluids and all.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So you have to have the transmission fluid. So when
you do that inspection, Adrian, is that that's part of
Is the transmission fluid part of the inspection.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yes, I inspect all fluids, all fluids. I inspect all
fluids will even go in, especially like if you're like
if you are continuous constant customer that's coming in. I'm
doing my best to make sure that. Okay, hey look
and you're coming up on your sixty five thousand mile service,
that you should be doing these things, you know, and
(15:43):
so because I want I want you to do them.
I want I want you to keep driving that car, right,
because they don't make them out what they used to.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
No, they don't do that. They do not make the
cars like they used to.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
They do not, they do not.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Okay, And those fluid the life olls, you know, transmission
flud gotta have it coolants, Okay, you got you gotta
stay up on them.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
And it's interesting.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I love my emailers. Thank you listeners for emailers. And
that caller just called in about breaks on them are
sades and lors wanted to know if your brakes are squeaking?
Does that mean you need new breaks or you can wait.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Well, one thing I can tell you is if it's squeaking,
come in so it can be looked at. There's different
reasons why some of them squeak. Of course, it could
be glazing.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Maybe you.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Like my father for an instance, my father was a
two foot driver. He had his left foot on that
break and his right foot on that gas and he'd
be riding to be riding them brakes, but.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
They're glazed over, and so that'll cause a squeak.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
What doesn't mean glaze over? What's happening.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Your road is just getting real nice and shiny.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Oh okay, gotcha, gotcha.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Understand, just and then they're just kind of glazed glaze
the pads.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
At that point you will develop a squeak. Doesn't necessarily
mean you need them, But don't wait until you start
tearing up stuff, because most of the time your rotors
can be saved where they can be turned, and then
you know you could do something with a set of
pass You know, you kind of get rid of that
squeak because you can need breaks and be driving it
and tearing up some rotors. Then that's another expense that
(20:38):
you have.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
White Okay, so that's why you told me to my car.
It's not it's not squeaking anything. It's still good. But
you said I need to come with change the paths.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Ecuse, get them pass off of the and resurface the rotors.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Okay, back to our phone lines to talk with you
high caller. Hi, you're on the air.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Yes, I just have a question for the mechanic. Okay, Yes,
I have a twenty ten avalanche and my theater is
blowing cold air even when I turned it on the heat,
and I was just wondering what the deal was on that.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Well we got it.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I've had to radiator, plush and everything so and it
still blows of coals even though I have it set
on heat.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
All right, Well, that was a few things that could
be Probably just want to take it in, let it
be checked. But you could have either a blend door problem.
Even though you're pushing it to go to heat, the
blend door could not be operating the door changing it
from the hot to the cold state, from AC to heater,
(21:53):
so therefore you won't have heat. Or it could be
a you could be low and cool and then I
actually realize it.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Well, I've I've had to cool change, you know, all right,
I just had to cool and change the other day, okay,
and because I was wonder if that was the problem, yeah, right.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Or or you could have a heat core this you know,
clod because that happens. But but just got to get
it in and we can inspect it. We can tell
you what you gotta do.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Okay, do do y'all check it of course.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh yes, I'm a full line services. We do everything
for the exception of bodywork. We don't do bodywork.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Okay, all right, y'all on Winchester, right.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yes, eighteen thirty Winchester and that's we're in between that
Meal branch and because thats a on Winchester.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
All right, all right, all right, thank you, thank.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
You calling hi. I was thinking about that because now
it's time. You know, people may be turning on your heat,
but what if you're changing finished with the air condition
you're changing Adrian, and so if you're putting it to
that heat, you should be feeling something warm coming out.
(23:12):
But if you're not in it. But what happens if
it's just still blowing and nothing warm is coming out,
that could be the coolant or something.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Well like in his case, That's what I was explaining
to him, right, which this happens more time than not.
The blend door motor may not be operational. You know,
over the summer, you didn't put.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
It on heat.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
No, no, you want that chili win in it, right exactly,
So you kept it over on cold all summer. Now
it's time to use the heat. You try to change it,
but the blend door motors say, hey, I'm checked out
on you. So so it needs to be you know,
changed out.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
But what about if I here and we hear people
talk about a thermostat.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah, thermostat could be stuck open, but generally if you
got a thermostat, that's that's kind of stuck open. Drilling
out to the car kind of warms up something. It
gets a little warm, you know, don't getting hot, It
gets a little warm. So at least you know that
at that point the blend doors opening up, because once
you start driving down the road and it's open, it's
constant flooring. It's gonna cool out. So thermistadt could be
(24:19):
a problem. But just like I said, just one of
those things when you get into it and check it out.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
What what if if if turning up the heat, I
mean turning you know, if you're going up to eighty
or eighty five. That doesn't matter anyway.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
If it's not okay, if blend door's messed up, that
won't change the thing. Okay, you're telling it that's what
you want, right, But blind doors say, hey, I ain't
look I'm still stuck on AC So it's not it
won't open let the heat through.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
What about does the do frost have anything to do
with that agent?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Well, what most people don't realize it is like during
the summer months when when you turn your defrosts on,
most people don't realize the ace come on with it,
you know, or during the winter months and comes on
with it. So they kind of work hand in handed,
you know, because you're taking out a lot of the
humidity that keeps the wonder from fogging up when you
(25:12):
first turn it on. Right, So that's that that was
the purpose that they did that. But if it's still again,
if it won't operate correctly, if the door is stuck
and still cold and you actually heat still won't work correctly,
So just need to one of those things just got
to be checked out.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
You educated me, so I didn't know the the air
condition comes on with the frost.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Wow, come on, you just pay attention. You're here to
look click, you'll be going to a whatld that? But
that's that compressed because okay.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
W D I a Hi caller, Hi caller, Hey, how
you doing bad?

That means checked fluids, tires, everything. So I was in
the car with him for Friday, and I didn't say anything.
I noticed something when the car was moving and started
going kind of slow. Then it kind of picked up
a little bit, then it went I didn't say anything.
So that's what I said to myself. That's what I

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Winchester tur In Alignment that's been around since nineteen seventy

well mile west of the airport, went between Meal Branch
and Cazaza on Winchester.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Please please come and see us.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
And especially I see the weather changing.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Adrian, it's gonna catch him.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
It's gonna catch him. It's gonna catch him. And come
in and see Adrian. You know, you can answer questions
on the air, but basically you like for them to
bring that automobile in.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
That's the best way. We can talk on the phone forever.
But without physically someone's seeing it doing a diagnostics only
make it a little hard to you know, to get
you right to the penny estimate, because most people want
they want give me an estimate, you know, give me
an estimate, right, we'll bring it to me, right, get
an estimate.
Speaker 6 (02:27):
Right.
Speaker 5 (02:28):
But that's the that's the best way, right, So you have.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
To and y'all have to bring it in so Adrian,
you all will will look first see what's going on,
and then that's when you can give them an estimate
on their car, right to the penny estimate, okay, okay.
And and once they do that, what about Adrian. I
don't know if we ever talked about this. When they
come in and you give them an estimate, and most
(02:55):
likely you may not get to it that they Sometimes
will a customer.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Have to leave their car in some cases yes, And
it's also depending on what it is that you actually need,
of course to take a look at. If it's something
you know, driveability wise, of course. I'm my technicians. I
got a lot of general service, but I got a
few technicians.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
They're great. They do good work.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Yeah, but it may take them a little time to
get to it, but generally in a day or so,
I can get it in, take a look at it,
call you back with a price.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Okay. And again that's up to the customer whether the
way they want to deal with the price or not.
And you don't have a problem with that. If they say, man,
I can't do that, I.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Ain't mad at them. Right, I can't spend their pocket.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
But the best thing is I tell them you may
want at this point, you may be heading it go
somewhere else. Somebody else is going to tell you something.
Just keep in mind, kind of do apple to Apple,
we offer you twenty four month, twenty four thousand mile
warranty that's on parts and labor. Most people don't offer
you that. Most of them are twelve twelve, but just
(04:04):
do apple to apple, make it fair.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Okay, okay, Well I had an email and people I
had I had said earlier Adrian that you were coming in,
and Carolyn wanted to know says that, Hey bev Tell Adrian,
how do you know when you need new tires? My
car is kind of going wabble to wabble. Does that
mean I need new tires or what?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
So?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
How do you know when you need new tires? Good question, Carolyn?
Thank you. How do you know?
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Well, if you have, if your tires are starting to
be in the age range of three to four years old,
it's time to do something because even though you're not driving,
if you're not a person that puts a lot of
miles on your billicle a year year and you driving
on not driving on them, they still sitting up their aging,
(04:56):
especially if you know you parked out in the elements
and different things. This nat that tire has a date
and a year that that tier has made. So even
if you even if you don't know that, you could
always look look it up online. Is the dot number?
The last four digits tell you what actual week, the
(05:19):
tiers made.
Speaker 5 (05:21):
In what year?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
So that's on the tire. Oh, I never know that.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
So there's a number, there's a dot number. Okay, so
that so you can go online, go online and look
it and you'll see what it looks like.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
We see, see that's good information. I didn't know that.
Wait a minute, because I was just thinking I've seen
numbers on the tire. I'm just thinking the company was
saying this many times.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Right, there's a lot of things that's on it. And
even in that dot number, it'll also tell you what
plan it was made, and you know and you know
what origin it's. It's a lot of information in that
dal team. So you're saying that, Okay, you you've had
a car, but if you your tires need to All
tires need to be replaced in at least three years,
(06:07):
three to four years, need to need to be seriously
thinking about getting them off of there because they're starting
to dry.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
And in her case, what she's saying that his car
is like it's gotten Yeah, that rubber is now starting
to try to come away from the steel and causing
the separation. So that's probably what she has going on.
So she need to go some one and let someone
check it out.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Okay, because I thought you could drive on the tires. Well,
you know, in my case, Adrian has fixed. I've gone
in and say, Adrian, my tire keeps going down, and
then Adrian and they check and it says, well, you
got a nail in there. You gotta you got one day, y'all.
I had two nails, two or three nails. But in
(06:46):
that kind of case like that, when you all because
you can't keep fixing it, can you.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No, once she started getting over three holes in it,
we really recommend. Okay, let's do something.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
So get a new tire.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Let's try to get a new tire on there. But
depending on where you're going. Okay, most people don't catch
a bunch of nails right right exactly, so they might
be driving on the tire. They ain't never had a
flat on right right.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
But but just uh, but it could be like you said,
it could be dry, rotten.
Speaker 5 (07:18):
Could be rotten.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Yes, and tires do that.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Yes, Oh yeah, oh I didn't know that because of
the I was just okay, let me ask this question, Adrian.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
So I've seen sometimes so is that the dry riding
when you see the tire is like it's it's shedding
or what.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Well, no, you can you can. You can take a
look at them dry rotten. You'll see them. They start
to get like a lot of cracks in them.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Okay, okay, and so yeah, it's time to do something.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Okay, you need to get some tires and at Winchester Tire.
So y'all do have tires.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
Yes, yes, we do tars as well.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Okay, good, good, because you know that's good information. But
go on that look at that number and see what's
going on.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Yea, check that number out. I mean, my daughters, the
daddy the car. The car ain't that old. It ain't right,
exactly four years old, right, but you hadn't put tires
on it.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Okay, so it doesn't matter if it's three or four
years old.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Let's go take a look at them. Sure enough, then
I can show you see all these cracks.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Uh huh.
Speaker 5 (08:25):
You come on down there, parking sister, so we can
put something.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
I like it, Dad, I tell Parcket sister, we're talking
with Adrian, right, he is the master mechanic and manager
of Winchester Tire and Alignment.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
I go to our phone lines and here what you
after say, hi, caller, how you doing that?
Speaker 6 (08:49):
Josh? Hey, unforgetful, hey, hey, miss no farage. I gotta
ask a question. It might say stupid to you, but
you know, back about forty to almost fifty years because
I used to love and work on car. Do they
still have Do they still have muffles under car?
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (09:11):
So if I got a twenty twenty five or twenty
twenty one or whatever car, if there is a muffer
under there, yes, I'm going to ask you something about
the muffle you're doing it? Is it a lifetime thing
or can I replace it? Because of the sound of
(09:33):
the car? You know, I like man's is run real quiet,
but if there's a little sound under there. I know
about catad they converged it because we talked about that
in the past. But dealing with the muffer, can you,
you know, change it? Is it real?
Speaker 4 (09:48):
You know?
Speaker 2 (09:48):
So you don't want to so Unforgetful, what you're saying
is that you don't want to you you don't want
to hear the sound?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Right?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Is it making a lot law law noise?
Speaker 6 (10:01):
Or asking him doing I'm just wondering about it.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Can you change muff? Okay? Ask the question? Yeah, Well,
hold on, he's gonna answer your question. I forget for listen, okay, okay,
thank you. So he's gonna hang up and talk about
the muffler.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Okay, Now, mufflers.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Mufflers will develop holes in them because they of course
they rust out because of all the conversation that's always
going through them, you know, from the engine hot and
he's blowing.
Speaker 5 (10:35):
It out the back. They will, they will develop holes
in them.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
So you should, you know, get them checked if you
if you notice that your bills little loud, of course, uh,
sometimes pipes cracked.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
That leads to the muffler. It makes you think that,
of course you need a muffler.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But uh, if you're going into facility, that's one of
the things that we check in that thirty seven point
courage inspection, so we try to if you need one.
I'm wonna let you know, Hey, your mufflers got a
hold in it. You want to do something with it
while you're here with me. Most people say yes, and
it's not that often did of course I get the
(11:11):
opportunity to actually change a muffle, I change. I'm more
converters than I do mufflers. So so, Adrian, do you
have to have a muffler on your car.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Yeah, that joke is gonna be loud if you don't.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
I was asked. I didn't know. So that's why all
these loud cards?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Or are they doing that on purpose or some of
them some of them are doing it on purpose, Okay, okay,
some of them kind of cutting the muffle off.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Yeah. I guess they think it sound good. But I
don't want to hear all that, right.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I don't want to hear all that racket either. I
don't want to hear all that racket either. W D
I a HI caller?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (11:44):
I just mean.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
I want to ask mister Rogers a quick question. If
I'm mister right, mister right, mister Wright, I apologize.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
No problem. How you doing today?
Speaker 7 (11:54):
I'm doing okay. I got a quick question for you.
Today's convention compared well today's well, yesterday's convention oil compelled
compared to synthetic oil of today. Most of the synthetic
all that you're getting out can go up to seventy
five hundred, ten thousand, and some of them even longer
than that. On the cars that you have to day
(12:16):
off all the cars, what do you suggest?
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I'll be very very understand day, A lot of manufacturer
today is telling you that, of course that you can
drive that thing for ten thousand miles, right, But I'll
be honest with you, I wouldn't.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
Do over sixty five sixty five I would, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I stayed six thousand, you know, sixty five I would.
I would not drive it for that amount of miles because,
of course they don't tell you that the little grandma
that is driving and driving ten thousand miles, she ain't
driving a car like you and I are driving it.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
We're driving. That's right, that all breaks down. So I wouldn't.
I wouldn't do that, even as a synthetic, even if.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
It's synthetic, sixty five conventional, keep it around three ten thousand,
you want to keep it there, even.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
If even if it's says I just want to make sure,
even if it says you can go ten thousand on
without change.
Speaker 5 (13:25):
To your next oil change, I wouldn't do it.
Speaker 7 (13:27):
So you said sixty five, maybe seven thousand be pushing it,
but that'd be close enough.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yeah, I tell I tell all my Actually, if you
come into there, you come in the winches turn alignment,
and I do a full synthetical change on your vehicle.
When you get in your car, that sticker is gonna
say six thousand miles is when your next oil changes.
Do because that's that's just don't recommend doing it. And
(13:52):
I got some customers they will follow it to the
stat of what the you know, the cop manufacturer said
to do, and they adamant about doing it. But I
got customers that stick to that old school six thousand miles,
and I see them a lot less than I do
the one that's driving for ten because see, you're gonna
(14:14):
you're gonna drive it for ten D, you're gonna.
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Push it a little further, you're gonna go for fifteen.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Right, and so let me let mess mister. Right, let
me ask you this real quick question. How often do
you recommend transmission flush or transmission chains.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
That's based on cards.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Well, that's based on of course, manufacturer, because some of
them actually running full synthetic and some of them running
just regular you know, transmission fluid in them.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Uh. I would say keep it at every thirty thirty,
five thousand.
Speaker 4 (14:45):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
And if you got something that's got like a synthetic
in it, you know, sixty to seventy thousand, I would
be changing that out.
Speaker 7 (14:53):
Okay, that was my question for today. Death to always
think you against allowed me to speak. I want you
and mister right, I want you to have a good
Thanksgiving as well.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Take care of everybody your friends.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Thank you for your question. So that that's important.
Speaker 5 (15:06):
That all oh, very transmission fluids and all.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
So you have to have the transmission fluid. So when
you do that inspection, Adrian, is that that's part of
Is the transmission fluid part of the inspection.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Yes, I inspect all fluids, all fluids. I inspect all
fluids will even go in, especially like if you're like
if you are continuous constant customer that's coming in. I'm
doing my best to make sure that. Okay, hey look
and you're coming up on your sixty five thousand mile service,
that you should be doing these things, you know, and
(15:43):
so because I want I want you to do them.
I want I want you to keep driving that car, right,
because they don't make them out what they used to.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
No, they don't do that. They do not make the
cars like they used to.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
They do not, they do not.
Speaker 3 (15:58):

Speaker 2 (19:19):
And it's interesting.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I love my emailers. Thank you listeners for emailers. And
that caller just called in about breaks on them are
sades and lors wanted to know if your brakes are squeaking?
Does that mean you need new breaks or you can wait.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
Well, one thing I can tell you is if it's squeaking,
come in so it can be looked at. There's different
reasons why some of them squeak. Of course, it could
be glazing.
Speaker 5 (19:48):
Maybe you.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Like my father for an instance, my father was a
two foot driver. He had his left foot on that
break and his right foot on that gas and he'd
be riding to be riding them brakes, but.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
They're glazed over, and so that'll cause a squeak.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
What doesn't mean glaze over? What's happening.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
Your road is just getting real nice and shiny.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
Oh okay, gotcha, gotcha.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
Understand, just and then they're just kind of glazed glaze
the pads.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
At that point you will develop a squeak. Doesn't necessarily
mean you need them, But don't wait until you start
tearing up stuff, because most of the time your rotors
can be saved where they can be turned, and then
you know you could do something with a set of
pass You know, you kind of get rid of that
squeak because you can need breaks and be driving it
and tearing up some rotors. Then that's another expense that
(20:38):
you have.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
White Okay, so that's why you told me to my car.
It's not it's not squeaking anything. It's still good. But
you said I need to come with change the paths.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Ecuse, get them pass off of the and resurface the rotors.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Okay, back to our phone lines to talk with you
high caller. Hi, you're on the air.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Yes, I just have a question for the mechanic. Okay, Yes,
I have a twenty ten avalanche and my theater is
blowing cold air even when I turned it on the heat,
and I was just wondering what the deal was on that.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
Well we got it.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
I've had to radiator, plush and everything so and it
still blows of coals even though I have it set
on heat.
Speaker 3 (21:30):
All right, Well, that was a few things that could
be Probably just want to take it in, let it
be checked. But you could have either a blend door problem.
Even though you're pushing it to go to heat, the
blend door could not be operating the door changing it
from the hot to the cold state, from AC to heater,
(21:53):
so therefore you won't have heat. Or it could be
a you could be low and cool and then I
actually realize it.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Well, I've I've had to cool change, you know, all right,
I just had to cool and change the other day, okay,
and because I was wonder if that was the problem, yeah, right.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Or or you could have a heat core this you know,
clod because that happens. But but just got to get
it in and we can inspect it. We can tell
you what you gotta do.
Speaker 4 (22:28):
Okay, do do y'all check it of course.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
Oh yes, I'm a full line services. We do everything
for the exception of bodywork. We don't do bodywork.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Okay, all right, y'all on Winchester, right.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Yes, eighteen thirty Winchester and that's we're in between that
Meal branch and because thats a on Winchester.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
All right, all right, all right, thank you, thank.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
You calling hi. I was thinking about that because now
it's time. You know, people may be turning on your heat,
but what if you're changing finished with the air condition
you're changing Adrian, and so if you're putting it to
that heat, you should be feeling something warm coming out.
(23:12):
But if you're not in it. But what happens if
it's just still blowing and nothing warm is coming out,
that could be the coolant or something.
Speaker 3 (23:21):
Well like in his case, That's what I was explaining
to him, right, which this happens more time than not.
The blend door motor may not be operational. You know,
over the summer, you didn't put.
Speaker 5 (23:34):
It on heat.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
No, no, you want that chili win in it, right exactly,
So you kept it over on cold all summer. Now
it's time to use the heat. You try to change it,
but the blend door motors say, hey, I'm checked out
on you. So so it needs to be you know,
changed out.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
But what about if I here and we hear people
talk about a thermostat.
Speaker 3 (23:55):
Yeah, thermostat could be stuck open, but generally if you
got a thermostat, that's that's kind of stuck open. Drilling
out to the car kind of warms up something. It
gets a little warm, you know, don't getting hot, It
gets a little warm. So at least you know that
at that point the blend doors opening up, because once
you start driving down the road and it's open, it's
constant flooring. It's gonna cool out. So thermistadt could be
(24:19):
a problem. But just like I said, just one of
those things when you get into it and check it out.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
What what if if if turning up the heat, I
mean turning you know, if you're going up to eighty
or eighty five. That doesn't matter anyway.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
If it's not okay, if blend door's messed up, that
won't change the thing. Okay, you're telling it that's what
you want, right, But blind doors say, hey, I ain't
look I'm still stuck on AC So it's not it
won't open let the heat through.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
What about does the do frost have anything to do
with that agent?
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Well, what most people don't realize it is like during
the summer months when when you turn your defrosts on,
most people don't realize the ace come on with it,
you know, or during the winter months and comes on
with it. So they kind of work hand in handed,
you know, because you're taking out a lot of the
humidity that keeps the wonder from fogging up when you
(25:12):
first turn it on. Right, So that's that that was
the purpose that they did that. But if it's still again,
if it won't operate correctly, if the door is stuck
and still cold and you actually heat still won't work correctly,
So just need to one of those things just got
to be checked out.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
You educated me, so I didn't know the the air
condition comes on with the frost.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
Wow, come on, you just pay attention. You're here to
look click, you'll be going to a whatld that? But
that's that compressed because okay.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
W D I a Hi caller, Hi caller, Hey, how
you doing bad?
Speaker 1 (25:51):
I know if you were talking to me and somebody.
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Hey Freddy, good afternoon.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
How are you doing good?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
I got a question for mister my son won't listen
to me. I told him back here before the weathergree
girl fall back. I said, you need to go have
all your fluid checks. Every fluid that goes in that vehicle,
you need to have a check. Just go get an
all check. You need more than just an awe change.
(26:19):
That means checked fluids, tires, everything. So I was in
the car with him for Friday, and I didn't say anything.
I noticed something when the car was moving and started
going kind of slow. Then it kind of picked up
a little bit, then it went I didn't say anything.
So that's what I said to myself. That's what I
(26:44):
said to mister Wright. That's what I said. I didn't
say anything to him. So I said, I may not
know anything about cars, but I've been around man, folks
that know about cars and what to do to pay attention.
So when I mentioned it to him again, oh I will,
I will, I was like, Okay, I said, but he
(27:04):
this is it, this is his bell. But mister right,
I was saying, by getting me a brand new cor
wait wait, hold hold on, hold on, wait, wait, wait,
hold it that car paid for. All you gotta do
is maintenance and assurance.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Tell him freddy and keep it going. That's it.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Why you want to get in debt again?
Speaker 1 (27:22):
Why you want to get in debt? And we're already
in a problem with the country with materials, right and
everything that these go into a vehicle with this orange
man in the chief right, So I said, I'm gonna
mention it one more time, and you came on today.

tell you you need to call him. Mister right over

get it done, get it checked, and stop relying on Oh,
