Car Talk, the irreverent and informative automotive maintenance radio show, has been on the air for 35 years, 25 of which have been nationally broadcast on National Public Radio (NPR). As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end, and brothers Tom and Ray Magliozzi are hanging up their talk show host hats in the fall, according to NPR.

"We've managed to avoid getting thrown off NPR for 25 years, given tens of thousands of wrong answers and had a hell of a time every week talking to callers," said Ray.

While the Magliozzi brothers, known to Car Talk fans as Click and Clack the Tappet Brothers, will no longer be poking fun at car problems on the air, they will still write a weekly column and continue to post on their Facebook page. NPR will make efforts to keep the show alive as well by recycling archival clips from 25 years of shows – more than 1,200 episodes.

"Tom and Ray have become icons to millions of fans, including me, over the last 25 years," said NPR president and CEO Gary Knell. "I'm thrilled that they will continue to entertain and engage today's fans and future fans for many years to come."

Drivers will not be able to call in to the weekly radio show and get advice about the weird sounds their cars are making come the fall. However, the experts at New Jersey Auto Auction's Total Car Care Center can help motorists figure out what's going on under the hood of their vehicles with less joking around and bad puns.
