Have you ever called these jokers for car advice?  An organic farmer once recommended I call them on a car problem, are mechanics in general so reluctant to give good free car advice?

it is entertainment in the form of car repair advice.

i enjoy listening to them.

 

but i'd rather get ''good'' suabru repair advice here at usmb.

I thought they stopped doing the show last year, and now they just do re-runs.

 

I did call them up once about something (I knew what was wrong), but hey, it was good for the entertainment and wrong advise!

They are fun to listen to and they make me laugh.  I think most of the show is reruns these days.  

I heard they retired within the last year or two...........so it is re-runs you are hearing for sure.

Yes, they retired September 2012...any shows you hear are "reruns"

Still funny stuff to listen to, but no calling them now.

I come here for subie advice and usually the consensus is right on.

they're extremely good but not as accurate with platform specific issues that bear themselves out in a focused forum like this.  if they did focus on one brand they'd be like USMB in radio format.  but one person can't specialize in every make/model/platform/nuance.
