The monthly payment isn't the full cost of owning a car. Maintenance is coming and as the miles add up, those expenses can get much bigger than many vehicle owners expect.
Dave Riccio and Jon Riggle break down what you should realistically budget for car maintenance from a new vehicle through 90,000 miles. They cover oil changes, tires, brakes, transmission service, fluids, unexpected repairs, and why the 6-7 year mark can become an expensive point in a vehicle's life.

In this episode of the Bumper to Bumper Podcast, Dave Riccio and Jon Riggle break down what actually goes into diagnosing a vehicle and why simply pulling a trouble code doesn't tell you what's wrong.
They explain how check engine codes work, why some vehicles can have serious problems without storing a code, and how replacing parts based on a scan can quickly turn into an expensive guessing game. They've seen cars come into the shop with thousands of dollars in new parts only for the original problem to still be there.

Subaru TR580 & TR690 CVT Valve Body Replacement (Saved $10,000)
In this episode of the Bumper to Bumper Podcast
Subaru TR580 & TR690 CVT Valve Body Replacement (Saved $10,000)
In this episode of the Bumper to Bumper Podcast, Dave Riccio from Tri-City Transmission walks through a real-world repair on a 2015 Subaru Forester that was quoted $12,000 for a transmission replacement. After a thorough diagnostic process, we identified the root cause: a failed pressure-control solenoid within the TR580 CVT valve body.
Instead of replacing the entire transmission, we replaced only the valve body, saving the customer thousands of dollars. We estimate that 2 out of 3 Subaru transmissions are replaced in error.
Tri-City Transmission technician Santiago takes you through the complete process of replacing the valve body and changing the fluid in the transmission.
This repair is a pattern repair on most late-model Subarus with a CVT transmission. The only difference. Some have the valve body mounted on top of the transmission, and others on the bottom.
Transmission Model Numbers for Subaru -
TR580 is top-mounted - The valve body is accessed through the top cover
TR690 is bottom-mounted - The valve body is accessed through the bottom pan
This is a pattern failure. It is not always related to the same solenoid, but we see failed solenoids that turn on all the dash lights, like a Christmas tree. Subaru does not sell the solenoids separately, so unfortunately, you have to replace the entire valve body. Although we are trying to find other sources to save the customer even more money.

Why Flat Rate Is Ruining Auto Repair
Have you ever asked an auto repair shop, "What's your hourly rate?" According to Dave and Jon, that might be the wrong question.
In this episode of the Bumper to Bumper Podcast, we break down how most automotive technicians are paid and why it can directly impact the quality of your repair. From flat-rate pay systems to technician incentives, overselling, warranty work, cutting corners, and customer satisfaction, we tap into an industry practice that most drivers never hear about.

Avoid a $15,000 Mistake! 2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk Won’t Move? Watch This First
In this episode, we break down a real-world
Avoid a $15,000 Mistake! 2018 Jeep Compass Trailhawk Won’t Move? Watch This First
In this episode, we break down a real-world diagnostic on a 2018 Jeep Trailhawk (2.4L, 9-speed transmission) that was nearly misdiagnosed with a $15,000 transmission replacement 😳
The vehicle came in with major issues:
- Barely moving at stoplights
- Stalling after startup
- No crank condition at times
- Previous dealership diagnosis pointing toward a transmission failure
But here’s the twist… the transmission wasn’t the problem at all.
We walk through the full diagnostic process step-by-step:
- Fuel vs spark testing
- Oil pressure checks
Inspecting fouled spark plugs
- Identifying a failed electronic throttle body
- How a bad battery can affect transmission performance
The actual fix? About $1,300 instead of $15,000.
This is a perfect example of why proper diagnostics matter and how small issues can mimic major transmission failures.
Key takeaway: Don’t replace major components until you KNOW the root cause.
Topics Covered:
- Jeep Trailhawk transmission issues
- Throttle body failure symptoms
- Misdiagnosed transmission problems
- Automotive diagnostics explained
- Battery voltage and transmission behavior

Metal In Transmission Fluid? Don't Replace It Until You Watch This.

Metal In Transmission Fluid? Don't Replace It Until You Watch This.
In this episode of the Bumper to Bumper Podcast, hosts Dave Riccio and Jon Riggle break down one of the most common (and expensive) misdiagnoses in the auto repair world. If you’ve ever been told your transmission is failing because of “metal in the fluid” or “burnt fluid,” this episode could save you thousands of dollars.
We explain why metal in transmission fluid is often completely normal, how to tell the difference between minor wear and serious damage, and why fluid color alone doesn’t mean your transmission is bad. You’ll also learn how some shops jump straight to replacement when the real fix could be something much simpler and far cheaper.
Whether you're dealing with shifting issues, confusing mechanic advice, or just want to understand your car better, this episode gives you the knowledge to avoid costly mistakes.
What You’ll Learn:
Why metal in transmission fluid is usually normal
The difference between “burnt,” “varnished,” and discolored fluid
Common transmission misdiagnoses that cost drivers thousands
When a transmission actually needs replacement vs. repair
How experience (and proper inspection) makes all the difference

Case Study: RO: 401088X - 2021
Is Your Transmission Actually Failing? 2021 Ford F-150 XLT 2.7L, V6 Eco Boost “10R80” Case Study
Case Study: RO: 401088X - 2021 Ford F-150 XLT 2.7L, V6 Eco Boost “10R80”
In this episode, we break down a real diagnostic case where a customer thought their transmission was going out, but the actual issue turned out to be a simple engine misfire caused by a faulty spark plug.
This kind of misdiagnosis happens more often than you’d think. Drivers experience rough shifting, loss of power, or hesitation under load and immediately assume the worst: a blown transmission. But as we explain in this episode, the transmission relies heavily on proper engine performance, and when the engine isn’t running right, it can mimic major transmission problems.
We walk you through:
* How a misfire can feel like a transmission issue
* Why your car struggles under load (like driving uphill)
* The diagnostic process mechanics use to find the real problem
* How a simple fix can save you thousands of dollars
* Why do so many people misdiagnose their own vehicles
In this case, instead of a $5,000 to $12,000 transmission replacement, the customer left with a basic tune-up. Saving serious money and avoiding unnecessary repairs.
If you’ve ever felt your car shift weird, hesitate, or lose power, this is a must-watch before assuming the worst.

Before You Replace Your Transmission, Watch This
In this episode of the Bumper to Bumper Podcast, Dave Riccio and Jon Riggle break down one of the most feared (and expensive) car problems: transmission issues. But there’s good news. Many drivers assume their transmission is failing when the problem might actually be something much simpler.
Dave and Jon share real shop experiences explaining why 70% of the time people think they need a transmission, they actually don’t. From fluid issues to computer adaptations and even weak batteries, there are several common problems that can cause symptoms similar to major transmission failure.
In this episode we cover:
Why a transmission service won’t always fix a problem
The myth about servicing transmissions after 100,000 miles
How torque converter shudder can sometimes be fixed with fluid
Why bad batteries can cause harsh shifting in modern vehicles
What shift adaptations are and how they affect your transmission
When a cheap fix might save you thousands on repairs
Modern transmissions are incredibly complex with computers, sensors, and adaptive learning systems. Understanding how they work can help you avoid unnecessary repairs and make smarter decisions when diagnosing transmission problems.

Can’t Seem to Fix Your Car’s Overheating Issue?
Many cars today have plastic belly pans and undercovers protecting the underside
Can’t Seem to Fix Your Car’s Overheating Issue?
Many cars today have plastic belly pans and undercovers protecting the underside of the vehicle. Most drivers don’t realize how important they actually are. In this episode of the Bumper to Bumper Podcast, Dave Riccio and Jon Riggle break down why these plastic shields exist, what happens when they’re missing, and how something as small as a $45 piece of plastic can cause major problems if ignored. For many vehicles, a missing splash shield, chin spoiler, or air dam can disrupt airflow and lead to engine overheating.
From airflow management and engine cooling to protecting critical components from road debris, snow, and water, these underbody panels play a bigger role than most people think. Dave and Jon also share a real shop story where a car received cooling fans, a radiator, and even a head gasket, only to discover the overheating issue was caused by a missing chin spoiler. This is a perfect example of how a small missing underbody panel can lead to a misdiagnosed overheating problem.
In This Episode We Cover:
Why modern cars use belly pans and underbody shields
How missing splash shields or air dams can cause overheating issues
Why manufacturers spend money adding these parts
The real reason some oil leaks never reach your driveway
How parking over curbs damages underbody panels
Why some shops struggle to reinstall them during service

Is My Transmission Failing?
In this episode of the Bumper to Bumper Podcast, Dave Riccio and John Riggle from Tri-City Transmission & Auto Repair break down the real signs of transmission problems and the common symptoms people misinterpret.
Before you assume you need a brand-new transmission (and a massive bill), this episode explains what to watch and listen for.
We Cover:
What does it mean if your car won’t move when put in gear
Whining, growling, rattling,“squawk” noises, and what they indicate
The difference between engine-speed noise vs. vehicle-speed noise
Delayed engagement when shifting into Drive or Reverse
What “morning sickness” is in older transmissions
How low transmission fluid can mimic serious problems
Why “my transmission is slipping” means 10 different things
The difference between slipping, shuddering, misfires, and harsh shifts
Why proper diagnosis (including a road test) matters
Keep in mind:
70–80% of the time, people think they need a transmission and they don’t. It could be fluid level, a sensor, a misfire, or another repair entirely. Don’t guess. Diagnose.
If you're experiencing unusual shifting, noises, delays, or vibrations, this episode will help you understand what might actually be happening before calling for a replacement.

2014 Nissan Pathfinder CVT Shudder In-Shop Diagnosis | $8,000 Mistake Avoided
In this episode of the Bumper to Bumper Podcast
2014 Nissan Pathfinder CVT Shudder In-Shop Diagnosis | $8,000 Mistake Avoided
In this episode of the Bumper to Bumper Podcast, co-host Jon Riggle walks through an in-shop diagnostic on a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder experiencing hard jerks, shuddering, and surging during acceleration.
This one is interesting because the vehicle went to another repair shop first, which sold the customer engine mounts. When that did not resolve the issue, they reviewed the CVT judder code and recommended a transmission replacement. The mounts were in excess of $2,000, and the transmission was in excess of $8,000. CVT transmissions are often misdiagnosed because people jump to a transmission replacement and don’t take the necessary steps. This was one of those instances.
This Nissan Pathfinder had severe CVT judder and jerking when accelerating. Everything pointed to a failing transmission… until we dug deeper. (this is the part most people skip)
Diagnostic trouble codes on arrival:
P17F0 CVT Judder
P1800 Variable Intake Solenoid
P0101 Mass Air Flow Sensor Circuit
The full diagnosis includes:
Road testing with and without scan data
Checking CVT fluid condition and degradation values
Inspecting engine mounts, axles, and suspension
Reviewing fault codes and live transmission ratio data
Performing a full under-hood and under-vehicle inspection
This episode is a great example of why proper diagnostics matter rather than assumptions.
If you’re dealing with:
* Nissan CVT shudder or “judder”
* Hard jerks when taking off
* Hesitation or surging on acceleration
* No warning lights but major drivability issues
…this walkthrough shows exactly how a professional technician isolates the true cause before recommending expensive repairs.

- Why the P0420 "catalyst efficiency" code is so common
- The difference between OEM vs. aftermarket converters
