Two Guys Garage Podcast

Willie and Kevin welcome Jim Dvorak of Mother's High Performance Car Care to trace the company's more than 50-year journey, from their single Mag & Aluminum Polish developed in an Orange County tire shop - to their global lineup of over 100 products. Jim breaks down the modern detailing evolution, contrasting traditional carnauba wax with new DIY ceramic coatings and revealing the modern tools that cut detailing time while providing a professional, season-long shine.

The guys welcome Lester Kovacs, Director of Ideation at Dorman Products, back to the podcast for an inside look at how better-than-OE automotive solutions are born. Lester breaks down Dorman’s massive growth - from three engineers to a team of over 100 - and shares how real-world technician feedback, a 5,500 sq. ft. full-service garage where R&D is also done, ASE-certified tech support, and rigorous fleet testing on over 50 vehicles help them re-engineer problematic factory parts so you get the right part for your ride.

This episode doubles as a personal look into Willie’s "Cars for Christmas" charity and a masterclass in used car assessment. Willie details his inspection processes, covering frequent failure points caused by salt corrosion, gasket leaks, and worn-out motor mounts, and describes what it takes to get these donated cars back on the road. From simple fixes to complex engine and subframe repairs, the work that Willie and friends perform is the very backbone of this powerful, life-changing program.

Brian McNamara from Gearhead Homes Realty joins the podcast once again to break down real estate strategies for car enthusiasts. He and the guys discuss key topics automotive collectors and builders need to know about buying or building a home garage or shop—from local zoning restrictions and variance hurdles to non-conforming property risks and market trends. Tune in to discover the insider secrets to buying or building your dream garage without letting local red tape crush your vision.

Brothers Custom Automotive hot rod builder Bill Jagenow joins Willie and Kevin for a lively conversation all about their shared passion for Bonneville Speed Week. They discuss the raw essence of land speed racing, revealing the emotional stakes and deep history of the Bonneville Salt Flats, including the military's top-secret presence at the now historic Wendover Airfield and the record-breaking life of automotive hero AB Jenkins. From the competitive challenge over a 164 MPH record to the tragic loss of a fellow racer, the guys consider how the salt is a place of both triumph and final tribute, culminating in a powerful, high-speed ceremony for the late icon, Gene Winfield.
