Car Talk was presented in the form of a call-in radio show: listeners called in with questions related to motor vehicle maintenance and repair.

While the hosts peppered their call-in sessions with jokes directed at both the caller and at themselves, the Magliozzis were usually able to arrive at a diagnosis. However, when they were stumped, they attempted anyway with an answer they claimed was "unencumbered by the thought process", the official motto of the show.
