Under The Hood Show features the Motor Medics, a team of professional technicians led by Shannon Nordstrom, Russ Evans, and Chris Carter. Operating from a dedicated studio in Garretson, South Dakota, the trio provides technical diagnostics and cost-saving maintenance techniques through a syndicated radio format and filmed video podcast. The program utilizes decades of hands-on experience at Nordstrom’s Automotive Inc. to assist callers with complex mechanical issues, ranging from electrical troubleshooting to engine misfire diagnosis. A recent series followed Shannon’s cross-country journey in a Tesla to evaluate the practicalities of electric vehicle infrastructure for modern drivers. Known for advocating the use of sustainable recycled parts via their Shift 4 Tomorrow partnership, the show serves as a blueprint for independent consumer advocacy. Their live call-in segments bridge the gap between traditional broadcast and interactive digital media, offering clear solutions for domestic and foreign vehicle owners looking to manage repair labor costs.
