Practical advice every driver can use. Happy Saturday, Motormouth Crew-and Happy Independence Day to our American Friends celebrating this Historic July 4th! Today's Q&A is powered by three excellent listener questions. Kathleen asks how long brakes should really last and what factors affect brake life. Margaret was told by a neighbour that she needs new tires-but wasn't given any explanation. We break down my simple " Three Strikes and you're Out " tire inspection method and explain what actually matters when deciding if it's time for new rubber. Gina asks a question many owners face: if an older vehicle is still running beautifully, should you sell it before expensive repairs start, or keep enjoying a dependable car? Real-world automotive advice without the sales pitch-just honest information to help you make smarter decisions.
