Questions and answers with the ‘Car Doc’ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q. My wife is looking for a new car and is considering the Genesis GV70. Do you have any thoughts on the vehicle? A. I really have a hard time finding fault with the Genesis GV70. It is stylish both inside and out, offers a premium interior, and delivers a combination of comfort and athletic handling that rivals many established luxury brands. Both available engines provide strong performance. The turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder makes about 300 horsepower, which is more than adequate for mo

Q. My 2016 Honda Accord has the four-cylinder engine and 112,000 miles on it. The car is throwing a P0420 code, catalyst efficiency below threshold. That is the only code, and the car runs great. What would you suggest checking before I have to replace the catalytic converter? A. The first place to start is making sure there are no exhaust leaks.

Q. My daughter’s 2018 Dodge Durango parking brake doesn’t work. When the parking brake pedal is depressed, it goes down to the car floor with no resistance. The shop said the parking brake cable needs to be replaced and quoted a price of $1,200. The price seems excessive, but I could be wrong. Is a cable replacement the fix, and if so, is the repair cost reasonable? A. If the cables are rusted or stretched, then a cable replacement is the proper repair. I am guessing the shop looked at the parki

Q. I am interested in buying a car-detailing blower to use instead of hand towels (for most of the drying, anyway—I realize some touch-up may be needed in certain areas). Are you familiar with any brands, and are the cordless units as good as the plug-in models? I don’t want to break the bank, but I also don’t want to waste my money on something that may not dry the entire car. I’d appreciate any feedback you may have before I decide on my purchase. It seems like there are a ton of reviews onlin
