All good things come to an end. This past Saturday was our last Auto Talk Radio show on Wood Radio. Along with our partners on the show, we’ve had a great time answering your auto questions every Saturday am.
If you were a faithful listener, we’ll give you a few audio links to enjoy. If you had no idea this was going on every Saturday at 7 am, we think you’ll enjoy listening too.
We started this program when Pat O’Neill was running the shop, then his grandson Shaun O’Neill (pictured here) took the show over weekly. We think you’ll like the music too!

The transmission is one of the most critical components of your vehicle—but many drivers aren’t exactly sure what it does or how it works. This guide unpacks the car transmission basics, offering a clear explanation of the transmission system so you can drive smarter, maintain better, and spot issues before they become costly repairs.
When it comes to auto maintenance, it’s easy to focus on obvious essentials like oil changes, brake service, or rotating your tires. But there’s one crucial component that quietly keeps your vehicle moving—and that’s your transmission. At Oniell’s Transmission in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we believe your transmission deserves just as much attention as your engine.
Neglecting it doesn’t just put your vehicle at risk—it hits your wallet, too. Let’s dive deep into why routine transmission maintenance is essential for long-term vehicle efficiency, safety, and savings.
