The Squeaky Wheel: Car Tech Shortage

Ashland Automotive

Jump in the car, turn the key, and vroom.  It's that simple, most days.

Then there are the OTHER times, when there's no vroom, or a clank-clank to go with it.  Zach Edwards has heard many unusual sounds (and lack of them) in his years fixing cars. 

He's now the owner of Ashland Automotive and our regular guest for a segment called "The Squeaky Wheel." 

This month we talk about a shortage of technicians qualified to work on the cars today.  Listen as we explore the situation.
