How Often Should You Rotate Your Tires

00:00 / 7:11

Today we talk about how often you should rotate your tires. This segment is from my segment on another podcast called The Survival Podcast. I sit on their Expert Counsel to field any car related questions. The question was asked by Sean who wanted to know how often he should be rotating tires. This is a great question to answer as oil services move further and further out, many car brands are not accounting for proper tires maintenance. Heck they are forgetting about other maintenance too, but that is another story.

Some Down Sides Of Being A Technician ~ Audio Podcast Episode 55

00:00 / 13:19

Today on the Automotive Podcast, we turn down a little different path. We look at some of the down sides of being an automotive technician. This is a road that I don’t love to go down that often. It can lead to getting stuck in a cycle of being negative. But I also feel like it is important to address. Like with any job, things are not perfect. But through out the show, I want you to be thinking about this, “Things are what you make of them”.
