Welcome to The CarPro Show.

Jerry Reynolds, The CarPro,

was in the auto industry for over 35 years.

And in addition to getting his sixth win from the Texas

Auto Riders Association for Best Radio Show in Texas,

he's a member of the Texas Radio Hall of Fame,

along with fellow members, Dan Rather and George Carlin.

Su cohost, Todd Chambliss,

just became a member of Applebee's Hall of Fame

for finishing off 84 chicken nuggets

without using a dipping sauce.

Now let's get to straight talk and honest answers

about everything automotive.

On The CarPro Show.

Well, Merry Christmas to you and happy new year coming up.

If you're thinking about doing something, let's talk.

I've got a line open right now, which is rare.

On thechase.com, CarPro Hotline,

which is 800-926-7777-800-926-7777.

If you've waited to talk to me,

you can grab that line right now

and we'll get you on, I promise you.

Takes a little while, I'll take the calls

in the order that they're received.

So sometimes there's a little bit of a wait.

I don't hate rushing anybody off the phone.

But I want to try to get your issue solved

and I'm happy to do so at 800-926-7777.

This is hour number two of three.

So we're on for two more hours,

minus seven minutes and 42 seconds.

And if you lose us or you have to go somewhere,

go to carpro.com and click listen live.

And you can carry us with you wherever you go.

Todd Chambliss made it in for hour number two.

I did and you might be a member

of the Texas Radio Hall of Fame,

but according to Mr. announcer,

I am in the Applebee's Hall of Fame.

So a little bit of a rivalry going on there.

Well, yeah, maybe you win.

Well, eating 82 chicken wings

or chicken nuggets without the sauce,

that's an accomplishment.

I don't think I could do that.

Not many people can.

25 years on the radio.

Yeah, been helping people, sure.

But 82, that's a lot right there.

So I'm just telling you,

I just wanted to make that known.

That's all.

Well, there you go.

Yes, sir.

Our free weekly newsletter came out last month,

this past Monday,

and we're gonna send out another one coming up.

This coming Monday, maybe Tuesday,

just depending on how much I add to it.

We try to keep them short this time of year,

abbreviated some of the things

that you normally see there are not there.

But we try to give the staff,

putting this newsletter together every week,

it's a monumental task.

Amy does so much to make it so pretty and so perfect.

I write all the articles that go in there,

and then she makes it pretty and makes it perfect.

And she does an amazing job.

So, we'll have a shorter version for you this week.

Then the following week,

we'll get back on the normal schedule,

which is every single Friday.

We would love to have you be part of the family.

You can follow along with us all year long

and on our website.

There are things there.

I have more time to tell you things

in the newsletter than I do on the air.

And so the newsletter is an extension of the show.

So I've always said if you like the show,

you're gonna love the newsletter.

And that's true.

You just gotta go through

and pick out what you wanna read

because there's a lot of content there every week.

There's funny stuff, there's our videos of the week.

We've got a Kim Commando.

I give you tech tips from Kim Commando,

who also has a radio show there every single week.

Quick shifts, that's my funny quirky weird things

that happen in the automobile industry

and things that happen that involve cars.

Everything's about cars with the car pro show.

Of course.

Yes, of course.

So we'll get back into all those normal things

plus all the car reviews, all that'll be there.

I will have the 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander review

in this week's newsletter.

So no worries there.

Let's go back to the phones

and we'll talk to Adrian in Manville, Texas.

Adrian, welcome.

How could I help you?

Adrian, are you there?

Adrian in Manville, Houston area.

He must have put his phone down or something.

So we'll put him back on hold

and we'll come back to you Adrian.

You'll be very next after Charles in Midlothian.

Charles, welcome.

Hello sir, how are you today?

I'm good buddy, Merry Christmas to you.

Hey, I'm looking at a 24 Jeep Compass Night

or Trailhawk.

Yeah.

And it's only got 12,500 miles on it.

Wow.

And they're asking 25,000 full price.

Holy cow, that's actually a very good buy.

The Trailhawk is a lot of fun.

I love the package.

Is there a reason it would be for sale

for over a month at a regular national dealer

and not sell?

Yeah, you never know.

What dealers do typically,

now not all of them,

but the majority of them will price their cars up

as soon as they get them,

as soon as they're what we call frontline ready.

So it goes through the shop,

goes through the detail shop,

they check it out,

they make any repairs need to be done.

And really that's the only way a dealer can do it.

Otherwise he won't know what to price it at

because he's not gonna know

what he owns that vehicle for

because they hadn't been through the shop yet.

So once it comes out of the shop,

gets out of detail,

take the pictures,

get it on the frontline,

dealers typically price it up.

And then on a weekly basis,

they start to lower the price

and they do it in increments.

Usually, you know, sometimes it's 500,

sometimes it's 1,000.

And then as it gets closer to 60 days

because most dealers also have a 60 day rule

that says, okay,

you've had 60 days to sell it,

it's not sold,

it's going to the auction

for whatever it'll bring.

So they continue to reduce the price.

My guess is a month ago

it was a lot more expensive than it is today.

And look,

the compass has never been a great seller.

It doesn't have good resale value.

It's a good SUV,

but Jeep is never,

I mean Jeep pushes the Wrangler

and they push the Gladiator.

And when you see ads,

that's about all you see.

So they really push this thing.

So it doesn't have great resale

cause it doesn't sell good and new.

So when you find a used one,

especially with 12,000 miles,

it's going to be a bargain.

And I think at 25 grand,

that thing probably stickered close to 40

and with 12,000 miles, 25 grand to me

is a goodbye.

Now, I would offer a little less than that,

maybe offer 24

and see if they'll split the difference with you

and maybe they will

and see where it goes from there.

But I think even at 25, it's okay.

Okay.

Because I was wondering it hasn't dropped to penny

since they got it about four weeks ago.

Well, they're ready to sell it.

They're ready to,

and maybe it's a dealer that prices it

at a good price right off the bat.

Some do that.

But whatever, I bet you after a month,

they'll deal on it.

If you don't know whether or not

you should buy an extended warranty,

call the car pro and find out.

1-800-926-7777.

And welcome back to the car pro show

with Jerry Reynolds, the car pro.

One thing I do like in the,

even though it was a bit abbreviated

this week's newsletter,

the year in stuff is always a good way

to kind of reexamine where we are in life

as far as the folks who protect us,

who are first responders,

the military, police, EMTs,

those folks who do so much work

and in the case of military

who many times are far away from home

and they're not home at Christmas.

And I love the fact that you included

the salute to them in the,

I guess it was three or four minutes

of the salute to soldiers,

the Kevin McCarthy voice was really, really nice.

Yeah, that was great.

First responders getting some love too.

It's all in the newsletter.

So make sure you go check that out,

especially if you are someone you love

or no falls into any of those categories.

It's well worth your time.

Yeah, and forward it to them.

Let them let them experience too.

If you've got a loved one

that's military or first responder,

you know, and I even talked about,

you know, the medical profession

because hospitals don't have locks on the doors.

They never close.

And people still have emergencies

even though it's Christmas day, you know.

That's right.

And there are people there to take care of you.

And you know, I think unfortunately

most of us take that for granted.

Yeah, thank God for those people.

Yeah, no doubt.

Let's talk to Sandy in Houston.

Sandy, welcome.

I am looking for a Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit Reserve.

Nice.

And I just need to know the best place

to get the best deal.

Okay.

And I live in Cyprus.

Okay.

Tell me your zip code.

77433.

Okay.

So what I did was I went to carpro.com

near the top of the page

and I clicked on Find the Best.

And I clicked on Find the CarPro Certified Dealer

nearest you.

And I chose Jeep

and I put in 77433

and I hit the Get Results button.

And now I'm waiting

because the Wi-Fi here at this radio station

is actually quite slow.

I thought this was all going to be a big spontaneous.

Just be immediate.

Just go right to it.

Yeah, well, it works that way when I'm at home.

Oh, me too.

Unfortunately not here.

So what it came up and told me

was that Patrick Wilson

is only 23 miles from you.

You can see Patrick's picture there.

And yeah, okay.

I just wanted to make sure

that that's the way you would recommend that I go.

Yep, Patrick's been with me a long time.

Gilman, Cricer, Dodge, Jeep Ram.

They've been with me a long time.

I've got a lot of the Gilman dealerships.

Guy there named Dana,

that's the general manager that takes great care

and he supports Patrick

with everything that he does

when it comes to a CarPro Show listeners.

You couldn't be in better hands.

OK.

And that's a great choice of an SUV, by the way.

I like that one a lot.

I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

and not a scratch on it.

Interior is gorgeous.

And I have mixed emotions about getting rid of it.

But how many miles, how many miles you got on it?

Ninety three.

OK, well, it's time.

And look, they're building

Jeeps building a much better vehicle

today than they did 15 years ago.

But this one had everything on it

when actually my son-in-law bought it for me

and gave it to me.

Wow.

So, and I know it was a nice gift.

I would say so.

Is your daughter still married to him?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, good.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's one you want to keep around.

Yeah, yeah.

Well, the other.

Yeah, go ahead.

Was what she drives.

The 350 Mercedes 350

something or something that I was looking at.

So it's about ten thousand dollars

more than the summit, I think.

Yeah, but down the road,

as long as you keep a vehicle,

the maintenance on that Mercedes,

you're going to hate.

They're expensive and I've got a Mercedes.

I know what I'm talking about.

Even even during the warranty period,

you know, just oil changes,

entire rotations and things are expensive.

You just got to factor that in.

And with that Jeep,

you're not going to you're not going to run into that same issue.

It's it's relatively inexpensive

and a lot of different people can work on it.

So once you're out of warranty,

you know, independent garages can work on that Jeep

where they can't at Mercedes.

So overall cost down the road next.

If you keep this one 15 years,

you're going to be in a lot better shape with that Jeep.

And there's a lot less to go wrong with it as well.

I think you're on the right track with the Jeep personally.

And I love Mercedes,

but boy, if I were going to keep one that long,

it would be the Jeep.

I appreciate the call.

Before you buy a new car, truck or SUV,

call Jerry Reynolds, the car pro

at 1-800-926-7777.

Kind of always wanted to say this.

What's that?

Yo, Adrienne.

Welcome to the car pro show.

How you doing?

I'm sorry about it.

I'm sorry about earlier.

Somehow I hit mute on my phone.

I can hear you, you couldn't hear me.

Oh, that's all right, brother.

It happens, I understand it.

What can I help you with?

Yeah.

Okay, I'm driving a 2018 Nissan Titan.

And I went to yours website

and I got a pretty good price on it.

I know Ford,

for her, the Ford dealer in Tombaul,

I think he's at,

They got like $18,000 rebate

on F-150.

Oh, yeah.

If I'm correct.

The Ford rebates are huge right now.

Exactly.

But all the Ford that I found

got a 2.7 EcoBoost.

And all my life I drove V8

and I'm afraid of that engine.

What are you afraid of?

Y esto es lo que es.

Es un turbo twin.

No va a dejar como mi Titan.

Ahora tiene $121,000.

No, Adrián, Adrián.

Stop, stop.

You're back in the 90s.

Now the turbos are very reliable

and the EcoBoost engines

have been around with Ford

since 2010.

It's a great engine.

Great gas mileage.

It's not the engine that you want

if you're towing something

or pulling something,

but if you're just driving it

as a truck, gas mileage is good,

the engine is reliable.

I'll see them go well over 300,000 miles.

You just got to maintain them,

but that's true of every vehicle.

And believe me,

Ford doesn't take chances

with the F-150.

It's their number one selling vehicle

and it's the number one selling vehicle

in the world.

They don't screw around with that.

If they put an engine in,

you bet it's a good one.

And the EcoBoost has been great.

I prefer the 3.5 EcoBoost,

but it's more money.

The gas mileage is good,

but I like horsepower.

Now, if I didn't like horsepower,

I'd definitely get the 2.7.

I would not hesitate to get it.

So get over to Timeball,

talk to Jorge Lopez.

Be sure you don't talk to anybody

but Jorge and he'll take great care

of you.

He's been with me for 20 years.

Felices fiestas, te desea.

AT&T, conectar, lo cambia todo.

No lo puedes hacer.

Puedes estar arriba o abajo, por ejemplo.

Hay un buen consejo que es en la noticia.

Es en la columna de consejos.

En realidad, evaluar tus opciones de tradición

y Jerry, yo estaba realmente,

creo, interesada en la historia de una mujer

que empece $72,000

en un vehículo que es $40,000.

Oh, sí.

Hace mucho tiempo

haciendo el ciclo de equidad negativa.

Y en este caso particular

es extremo.

Puedes poner $20,000,

al menos un nuevo explorador

por dos años

y $1,200 a mes.

Ahora,

esa es una gran pregunta.

Es un caso extremo.

Pero, con esto,

después de dos años

ha hecho ella,

incluso con el mundo,

ella podría empezar.

Y creo que

la razón por la que me trae

es que puedes pensar

que estás en el peor lugar

que podías ser,

pero con todo lo que está pasando

ahora, con el fin del año,

y todos los dealers

están orgullosos

para mover ese metal

y para darse los números

y para ofrecer incendios

como ellos hacen.

Tiene que ser el mejor tiempo

para escribir el vehículo

si tienes esa situación.

No hay duda.

Incendios pueden llevar

un montón de ese peor.

Sí.

Y eso realmente,

realmente ayuda.

Pero,

no puedes continuar

con el vehículo negativo

de un vehículo

hacia el siguiente,

hasta el siguiente,

hay un día de recono.

Absolutamente.

Cuando no puedes hacer más.

Too often,

I see that

people find themselves

something changed,

a loss of a job

or,

you know, a medical emergency

that comes up

and suddenly,

you've rolled all this negative equity

from one car to the next,

to the next, to the next,

and you're so deep in,

you can't get out.

Yeah.

And I don't want to see you do that.

That's not smart car buying,

which is what I'm all about.

I showed that lady

a path

to getting

even with the world.

She came out of a Mercedes

and went into a Ford Explorer

for two years.

Yeah.

She made three times

the monthly payment

that other people

that bought the same kind of vehicle

were paying.

But after two years of leasing,

she was done.

She could walk away

at the clean slate.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

I love that.

So that's

that's the kind of stuff

we put in the newsletter.

Let's talk to Franco

in Houston.

Franco, welcome.

How can I help you?

How you doing, Gary?

Good, man.

Merry Christmas to you.

Thank you.

Appreciate it.

Quick question.

I was interested in

the Genesis GB 70.

Yeah.

And you know,

just growing up,

I had Hyundai,

you know,

I was around when they came out

and many problems

for many years

were the horror stories.

Oh, sure.

I never really got over the brand

so I stayed away from it.

But I've been doing some research

on Genesis

and I really like what I see

and I just wanted your opinion

on the brand

and the car itself.

I love it.

I love the brand.

I love what they're doing.

I love the

10 year 100,000 mile warranty.

I love the three years

of free maintenance.

I love

the concierge service

that you get with Genesis

where they come pick up

your car if you need something.

They bring you a loaner

and they bring your car back

clean

and pick their loaner up.

I mean,

there's

and I'll tell you this

if you can

and I have this conversation

with a lot of Mercedes

Audi Lexus buyers

if you can get past

the fact that it's a Genesis

and you know

in the back of your mind

it's made by Hyundai

the interior

of a Genesis

is nicer than anything

out there.

Period.

Right.

Yeah, that's the number one

review on YouTube

about the interior.

They are beautiful.

And

and the

the thought

that they put into these vehicles

the little things

in the infotainment system

you know

you can

you hit a button

and

if you're sitting

in your car

relaxing for some reason

for instance

and it's cold outside

you can hit a sounds

of nature

button

and all of a sudden

this beautiful music will come on

and your massaging

seats will go with the music

and the ambient

lighting

goes with the music

I mean it's just little things like that

that you're not going to use

every day but they're there

and yet

you're still getting this vehicle

for typically

five grand or more

under a comparable

luxury vehicle.

Right.

Okay, do you recommend any dealerships

in Houston?

Yeah, I do actually

and if you

if I didn't answer your question

completely

I just want to tell you

that

yes

I'm a big fan

of the

of the brand.

Well you had me sold on the second

I love

yeah

I'm going to go

with what you're saying.

I'm very passionate about it.

Genesis of spring

they're right there on I-45 North

talk to Brian Amaya

Brian Amaya

he's my man

he's at the website

carpro.com

if you're driving or something

and you can't you can't write it down

but he'll take good care of you

and they do have some good incentives right now

you're good you're set

alright well I appreciate it

okay brother I'll talk to you soon

and we go to

Mercedes in California

Mercedes welcome

thank you

how can I help you

I wanted to know

I have a 2022

BMW X3

the dealer is telling me

that the tires need to be replaced

should I be replacing them

up a dealer

or is that like a ripoff

of just trying to understand

my car has about 32,000

miles on it

okay well you did pretty good then

with tires 32,000

by today's standards

on a BMW that's

that's really good

look

dealers are very competitive

on tire prices

I've been a

driver of

Mercedes Porsche

and Range Rovers now for

20 years

I buy tires from the dealer

and I've shopped them

and I've shopped

with tire rack

I've shopped with discount tire

who I love

but I have found that

dealerships are competitive on tires

and there's a simple reason

for it

they want you

to continue to come back

to their service department

for everything that you need

they don't look at

tires as a profit center

they look at it as just a way

to keep you in the family

so what dealers do

is they go out and shop

they'll get on the phone

and they'll call discount tire

or America's tire

same company

or they'll call another tire place

and ask them what you're going rate on tires

and they'll match

that price

so I'd rather have

a dealer to do it

and the other reason

Mercedes is

while my car's there getting tires

they're gonna look at the brakes

they're gonna look at the alignment

and they're gonna make sure

that everything's okay with it

so the answer to the question is

yes

I would trust the dealer to do it

even if it's $10 a tire

more which it's not likely to be

but even if it is

for me it's worth it

to have a technician

who only works on my brand

do the job

that's just me

I do appreciate the call

777

well this week the car pro newsletter

came out just a tad early

to get you ready for the holidays

as Jerry has explained he likes to make sure

have some feedback there going on

that's a new one

Jerry likes to have that in your hand

he likes to work before you leave

for the holidays and next week

is really gonna be about the same situation

Monday or Tuesday

so with that being said

what are you cooking up for next week's newsletter

that comes out on Monday or Tuesday

well I've already told you I got the new Cowboys

the new song about the Dallas Cowboys

I wrote

that's fun the Dallas

show crowd this morning really loved that

and I'm gonna have

a way for you to find

your first

car brochure

so the introductory brochure

yeah the one the dealers give away

right back they did

back in the day

not anymore but

they gave away brochures

and if your first car

was from the 50s, 60s, 70s

even 80s

we're gonna tell you

we're gonna let you look at your very first brochure

I like that, that's pretty cool

alright we got a line open

on thechase.com carpro hotline

if you wanna grab it right now

it's 800 926

77 800

926

77 77

and we go to

Upland California and talk to Wayne

Wayne welcome

hey hello Jerry and Todd

how are you guys? hey we're doing good buddy

what's going on

good

hey Jerry I'm looking at

the inyos grenadier

but I was also

Toyota Land Cruiser at the same time

I can't decide

I love the way the grenadier looks

even more but I'm not sure if it's

really for me

the grenadier is different

I reviewed it when it first came out

and

I loved

certain things about it

one thing is I love the company

I really researched

the company

to see what they were all about

because they're not traditionally a car company

they're into a gazillion

other things

and I probably wouldn't

have paid close attention

to the grenadier

except here in Dallas Fort Worth

Sewell

which is a chain of dealerships

universally known

as the absolute best

in the auto industry

as far as customer service

I mean Carl Sewell

wrote a book called

customers for life

and it's been a best seller

now for well over 25 years

and

they took on the franchise

and I went

oh well if Sewell

has got this thing

it's gotta be okay

so I put my hands on one

and I gotta tell you

I don't know that I've driven a car

that got as much attention

as this thing did

but

it was

and this was a 2024 by the way

there were things that it

didn't

there were things that it did not have

that I thought were essential

for a $75,000

SUV

and I noted those

in my review

and

I titled it

about

I went through things that

for instance you couldn't close off

the moon roof

it did not have

air conditioned seats

there were, let's see

there was one other thing

oh, the suspension system

yeah it was, it's different

it's got a rack and pin steering system

turning radius was not

very short

so as a daily driver

I didn't think it was great

let me tell you

that Land Cruiser is

something really special

if I were going to keep a vehicle

for a good while

that's the way I would go

the grenadier it's great

but for me

if I were going to go with a daily driver

it would be the Toyota

for sure

and I've got some great dealers at my website

I hope you have a great weekend

Wayne

It's that point in the show

that we talk about happy listeners

the folks that have taken Jerry's advice

they got a brand new car

and they did it the way Jerry recommends

and they have good stories to share

in Los Angeles

Genesis Santa Monica

was the place that Harvey was going to

interested in a new GV80

says he's an 84 year old man

bought many cars in this lifetime

but have never had

an experience like this

the easiest car that I've ever bought

the dealership was excellent

they were knowledgeable

knew what they were doing

no haggling and he likes that for sure

and Steve was looking in Houston

for an Outback Touring XT

and went to Gilman Subaru Southwest

says he likes the honesty and sincerity

of Jonathan Rachel

the car pro contact there

backed by a great finance and service team

looking forward to a lengthy relationship

with this dealer

you can have that kind of experience too

you just have to follow my process

and trust me when I tell you

it is a process

it starts at carpro.com

under

right there at the top where it says

find a car pro dealer near me

and just hearing the commercials

during the show

it's not enough because I've got a

contact person at each dealership

that I rely on

to fulfill what I say

on the air

and I hold them accountable for it

and that's what makes it work

you can go to Costco

and get in their program

they have no accountability

nothing they just get

and they get paid per vehicle

I don't get anything if you buy a car

from one of our dealers nothing

not a penny, not one red cent

and it's been that way for 25 years

and the reason is

I don't want to be tempted

to send you to a bad dealer

so I make money

it doesn't work that way

and that's the car pro way

we've got another hour to go

if you're on hold don't go anywhere

if we lose you like in Los Angeles

go to carpro.com and click listen live

one more hour
