Off The Road, Under The Hood: The Squeaky Wheel

The revving of engines is one of the sounds of spring, as people head out in their motor vehicles to enjoy the outdoors and the weather. Sometimes the revving comes with a bonus--a knock or a squeak that indicates an engine developing some maintenance issues.

Zach Edwards and his employees at Ashland Automotive live for the funny noises, and make their living on making the noises go away. Zach visits once a month to talk vehicle care and repair, in a segment we call The Squeaky Wheel.
