“This podcast takes second place behind CarTalk.
The hosts are very knowledgeable and helpful. This is overall a good show.
The bottom line:
If you are an automotive gearhead, or just want to diagnose a problem with your car, this show is very helpful. If you know absolutely nothing about cars,...”Read full review »

In particular I enjoy listening to this podcast when tending to endless weekend chores around the...”Read full review »

“You all seem to have a lot more knowledge than some of the other podcast I have listened to. And I really like the way you present the show and I like the family aspect of it. I can listen to it in the truck or car with the family and not have to be worried about what we hear. Thank you all for...”Read full review »

“Incredibly knowledgeable hosts + midwestern hospitality = great show. An extra plus are the call-ins:
“Well, I gotta 1984 full sized Chevy pickup and it’s been running a little rough lately. I pulled the engine, rebuilt the bottom end and gave her a quick valve job. I was wondering whether I...”Read full review »

“When riding from South Dakota to Michigan in the back of a Subaru Brat, I grip the handles and binge listen to Under The Hood. As my body goes numb, I am convinced that I am in the studio, wait even better, in the garage with Russ, Shannon and Chris. It isn't clear what Chris is doing, but he...”Read full review »

I have never been officially trained in any of it. You guys help my mind set and make DYI car repair so much easier. Thank you for all...”Read full review »

“It’s a great show, but I don’t know about America’s favorite car talk show. The information is great and the show is easy to listen to but the hosts don’t have the same character and ability to play off each other like Tom and Ray. With that being said, I still listen every week. Keep up the...”Read full review »

“I listen to every podcast episode. I like the show. Having said that, sometimes, I get upset at what seems to me to be Shannon’s lack of formal education. I just listened to and episode where a caller had an Aveo, that would crank, but not start. Shannon told him to check the fuel pressure....”Read full review »

“Good car repair advice. Not NEARLY as entertaining or fulfilling or even insightful as Car Talk. As an American, I can affirm that this is certainly not my favorite car talk show. Not even close.”

“Really enjoy the common sense approach to vehicle repair. I am a retired Semi Tractor and Medium Duty mechanic that had my own shop for 30 years. Some of their answers to these category of vehicles is vague and not best but they seldom get any heavy duty questions. It is permissible and valued to...”Read full review »
