Description: Don't Let the Little Things Ruin Your Trip Before you head out for your next road trip, Ron Ananian, The Car Doctor, has one simple question: Do you know where your wheel lock key is? It sounds like a small detail—until a flat tire leaves you stranded hundreds of miles from home. Ron shares a real-world story that proves the little things can quickly become big problems when you're on the road. Also this week, Ron helps a listener choose between Ford's 2.7L EcoBoost and the legendary 5.0L V8, works through no-start problems on both a classic Mazda pickup and a Nissan Titan, catches up with Wall Stadium racer Quinn Trimmer for a mid-season racing update, and answers a listener's question about costly oil leaks on an aging Subaru. Whether you're traveling across town or across the country, a little preparation—and a little automotive knowledge—can save you time, money, and a whole lot of aggravation. 🌐Visit: CarDoctorShow.com 📸 Follow Ron on Instagram: @ronananian 🎥 Watch repair tips and shop videos on YouTube 📻 Join the conversation LIVE Saturdays 2–4 PM Eastern    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
