Testimonials From Station Owners and Sales Managers

General managers who have picked up "Under the Hood" say they love it. In fact, Mike Schweitzer, owner of KBJM in Lemmon, said he was thinking of dropping the show after a few years when Evans offered to come up and participate in a Farm and Home Show. “They had people lined up all day trying to talk to them, telling them they loved their show," Schweitzer recalled. "Right then, that told me I better keep them. (Reprinted from the Argus Leader).

Maynard Meyer, general manager and co-owner of KLQP in Madison, MN. said the e-mails he gets from listeners tells him the show is connecting in his region. “We’ve gotten a lot more direct response from people who like it," Meyer said. "That says more to me than for other shows we run."

Angela VonHeeder, Sales Manager, KBRB Radio. Ainsworth, NE. "I'm thrilled to have “Under the Hood " on my station. You may think by the name that it's going to be a "guy getter" but the ladies love it too! These guys are not only informative, their humor is infectious. I can't wait to hear what they're going to say next week, nor can our listeners. Twice a week may not be enough! The Under the Hood Show is wonderful for my station because it's a perfect fit for our advertisers and our listeners love it.
 

Listener Testimonials

Russ and Shannon, I recently had a check engine light on my '04 Jaguar X- Type with the 3.0 liter Ford engine. The code was for lean condition on both banks and there was a rough idle when cold... I suspected the electronic throttle and was almost going to buy a used one when I remembered Russ always talking about vacuum leaks on various cars with an unstable idle. Sure enough there was a TSB for two O-rings on the manifold that frequently leak. I replaced the O-rings, cleared the code and no problems since. Thanks for your help. You saved me spending over $300.00 for a used throttle that would not have fixed the problem...... Harold in Coppell Texas.
Russ, thank you so much for your help on 11/24/09. You were right on the money! after your test advice for the injectors and computer I decided to try and borrow one for the truck from a buddy who had one on his shelf. The truck now runs GREAT!!! Now I'll go buy a new one and I'll be set to go. Again, thank you.
Sincerely, Steve Trost

Thank you for your QUICK response. We worked on it right after receiving your email, and got it done just before the rain came. We weren't aware how the sun roof drains worked & did find a problem on the right side. Guess this afternoon's showers will be a good test of our talents. You guys are amazing! I am a faithful listener on KWOA in Worthington, MN.


Dear motor medics, while on vacation I had a problem with my 2004 Ford Taurus. We were just North of St. Joseph Missouri at a rest stop. I listen to the show each week back home in Fargo North Dakota on WZFG and have emailed several times. Each time I have emailed you I got a response within a few minutes so I emailed my problem to you and within ten minutes Russ responded with the correct advice that saved our trip. You asked if my fuel pump could be heard when I turned on the key and if not, try to pound on the center of the tank while someone cranked it. Your advice worked! The car started and I drove another 300 miles to my destination and had the pump replaced. Thank you so much for you help. I will tell everyone about your show.
Richard Franklin, Fargo, ND.

I listen to you on KIWA AM out of Sheldon, IA. It's great to listen to your show because you know what you’re talking about, it is evident your passion is serving others and you obviously are having fun doing it! Alan Van Maanen.
