Meet Dan “Boots” Longenette

His Story

For more than 35 years, Dan “Boots” Longenette has been answering the toughest questions in the car world. Listeners already know him as the no-nonsense host of Auto Smarts Radio—the guy who can explain a complex repair, break down the latest industry news, or swap stories with icons like Chip Foose, Jay Leno, and more without missing a beat.

 

Boots’ expertise goes beyond the microphone. He’s lived the business from the inside out—sales, service, racing, broadcasting—and that experience shapes the straight, practical advice his audience trusts week after week.

 

When you tune in or send a question, you’re not just getting theories—you’re getting decades of real-world auto knowledge delivered with the same passion he brings to the studio, the racetrack, and every Cruise & Ride car show across Ohio.
