The CarClinic with Glenn Power September 19, 2017

So, we love to talk cars and we generally seem to be pretty bad at actually understanding the mechanics of those cars we love.

As soon as we have to get our cars repaired we tend to act like fish out of water and become easy prey for anyone looking to take advantage of us.

So, Nightline has taken on the challenge to educate us about car maintenance and repair and we do that with Glenn Power the influencer mechanic in Dubai.

This week we had phone calls during every part of the show.
