Under the Hood Gets More Horsepower

The Under The Hood Show continues to grow. With a video that went viral on Face- book last year they’ve certainly gotten the attention of car fans nationwide. That, and making friends has helped them.

“Back this past October we were broadcasting on 136 stations,” said Motor Medic Russ Evans. “We’ve been doing this show for 28 years now and we’ve come a long way. When we grew to twenty stations we thought that was something... but as of this January our count is up to 229 stations! Al- most double in about three months, it’s pretty humbling.”

Evans said that it was all because they always to out of their way to make friends.

“We made friends with a guy from another show we met at a conference about five years back, kinda helped him get a started. Well, this past year he decided to retire their show, but before he did he contacted all their affiliate stations and told them that they should carry us instead, calling more than a hundred stations. And yeah, we picked up station after station after that, so here is the lesson kids, good karma pays off!”

Underthehoodshow.com has also had a major revamp and overhaul.

“For just a little shop in South Dakota, we’re reaching and helping more people with their cars than ever before,” Evans said. “Lots of stuff has been changing, as we’re al- ways looking for ways to add positive content to the show. We’re pleased and proud to partner with another friend of ours, cartoonist Jim Weicherding and his Dinosaur, Buckleupallofus. On our new website kids or kids with their parents can download and print coloring pages featuring Buckleupallofus in various cars members of the show have owned. Jim (soon to be featured on the Today Show) has been drawing dinosaurs in with car safety for years, but he’s become really popular lately with local fire departments, police departments and with Triple AAA for his car seat safety cartoons. We’ll also be starting our short form radio program which will be starting on March 1. As always, we hope to continue to grow and learn, and be able to help more people across the country with their cars.
