  Weekly Recalls

  Exclusive Car Pro Approved Products & Services

CarProUSA Radio Show host Jerry Reynolds can count the number of products he's  endorsed on one hand. He's had many opportunities, but after much due diligence, he usually ends up saying no. 

Jerry won’t recommend a product or service unless he's tried it himself and feels good about recommending it.  Here are the companies Jerry endorses and personally uses:

  Videos of the Week:

Jerry-video-jan-20

Wow.  Just before Christmas, a woman robs a Starbucks at gun point in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The State Police get in chase at speeds over 100 miles per hour.  The perps are shooting through the back glass, the police are shooting out of their windshield from the bullet holes.  This under 3-minute video is INTENSE, but does have a happy ending.

kevin-video-jan-21

Last week, Kevin’s video of an Orangutan driving a golf cart was so amazing that a lot of people (including Jerry) thought it might have been a fake.

No, he's real; he's also potty-trained...and like a lot of us, he enjoys a good nap occasionally.
