  1. Becoming a Mechanic, 2020 Jeep Compass Trailhawk Ian Hardie, Senior Campus Employment Services Director at Universal Technical Institute 52:40

Host Tom Appel and co-hosts Jill Ciminillo and Damon Bell start the show by discussing the 2020 Nissan Frontier compact pickup–in particular, Nissan's strategy of putting an all-new V6 engine the current-generation Frontier in advance of introducing the all-new Frontier in the near future. Next, we talk about our test-drive experiences with the 2020 Jeep Compass Trailhawk compact SUV. Ian Hardie, Senior Campus Employment Services Director for Universal Technical Institute in Lisle, IL, calls in to talk about the state of the automotive/diesel service and repair industry, and how UTI trains the technicians of tomorrow. Damon turns the tables with a “reused model names” quiz for Tom and Jill to wrap up the show.
