Nissan Altima All Keys Lost Conclusion Jun 25, 2023

Show notes

I'm wrapping up the 2009 Nissan Altima from episode 190 this week. Originally the car arrived at the shop with no keys. A locksmith was unable to add a key, so I diagnosed it as a faulty steering column lock. After the lock was replaced I was still unable to register a new key and ran out of tests to confirm where the fault was. Join me her to hear the conclusion!

Aftermarket Tunes With Matt Fanslow Jun 18, 2023

Show notes

No, not those kind of tunes! We're talking about MUSIC! Music in the shop can be a moral booster or a point of contention, but it's a big part of most technicians' work day. We'll talk about different genres, time periods, covers, favorite bands, & more!

Replace With Known Good Part May 21, 2023

Show notes

On this weeks episode I share some vehicle issues where I've reached a limit in my current testing abilities, forcing me to decide on making a call with out being 100% confident in the diagnosis. Ideally, testing should be able to prove out exactly where the fault lies, but is there a point where you've exhausted your methods, and making your best guess is the right move? What else can we do when we reach a limit in our testing capabilities? The 2 vehicles covered are a 2015 Jeep Cherokee and a 2009 Nissan Altima.
