The Car Doctor Radio Show with Ron Ananian – “The Cost of Keeping It Running”

This week, Ron tackles a GMC with wipers stuck on high, a Volvo XC60 with a sunroof that leaks like a sieve, and dives deep into the rising cost of keeping your car on the road in 2025. From 16-spark-plug tune-ups to picked-through parts and poor-quality replacements, it's a no-BS look at life in the bay—and what it means for you behind the wheel.

Real repairs. Smart diagnostics. And always, real talk.

Call of the Week
Each week on Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor Radio Show, we spotlight one standout caller as our Call of the Week. It’s chosen for the originality of the problem, the clarity of the conversation, and the value it brings to you, the listener—whether it’s a tough diagnosis, a smart question, or just a great exchange. These calls remind us why we love talking cars and helping people. If you’re a podcast subscriber, think of this as your quick sample of the full show—insightful, entertaining, and maybe just the nudge you need to stay tuned for more.

This week’s Call of the Week comes from Stephen in New Jersey, who’s shopping for a 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 5.7L HEMI V8—and wants Ron’s take on reliability, used options, and extended warranties. He is literally standing outside of the dealership, as you can tell by the sounds of all the cars and trucks going by on the highway behind him. The conversation covers real-world pros and cons of Jeep and Chrysler products, from oil change intervals to parts distribution headaches. Ron gives an honest, mechanic’s-eye view: yes, Jeeps can be tanks—but they can also be trouble. The advice? Stick with low mileage, buy the V8 if it’s the one you want, don’t skimp on the service contract, and remember—when it comes to vehicles, like relationships, it pays to know their history.
