Don’t let your vehicle spook you!
Take care of your car’s fall maintenance now to keep your vehicle running at its best all October long. Important fall maintenance items include:
- Brake inspection
- Replace windshield wipers
- Check all fluids
- Inspect tires
- Test lights
- Check heater/defroster

What is a brake bleed?
A brake bleed is the process of removing air from the brake lines to restore your brake system to its best. Over time, small amounts of air can become trapped in your vehicle’s brake line. Air in the brake lines can decrease the effectiveness of your brakes significantly. If your brakes feel soft or spongy, you may need a brake bleed.
October is Fall Car Care Month, and now is the time to remember how addressing certain items like brakes, tires, belts and hoses and fluids, including oil, antifreeze, steering, brake, transmission, and wiper fluids, will help keep your car running smoothly and efficiently, saving money at the gas pump.
Other areas of the vehicle, such as heating and air conditioning systems, wipers, and lights, should also be checked periodically. #CarCare saves you money!

"Haglin automotive is hands down the best mechanic I’ve worked with. They are so nice and professional and are always willing to run diagnostics even if I do the repair myself at home. They go out of their way to make sure all your questions are answered and answer the phone to help me do my own repairs. When they do the repairs themselves it is done well and on time and they are always willing to give a loaner car to make life easy. I can not recommend them enough."

Despite their relatively easy operation, cars are actually very complex machines. Cars need fuel to operate, but what does the engine actually do with it?
In general, a standard internal combustion engine — what the majority of fuel-powered vehicles have today — uses air combined with gasoline to produce power. It is a complicated process that relies on many different parts and specific timing.

We have all experienced a scary car symptom, such as seeing the check engine light turn on or the sound of rattling bones coming from underneath the hood. But have you ever experienced something spooky or paranormal while inside your car?
We are getting in the Halloween spirit and want to hear your spooky car story below!
Whether you're a seasoned driver or new behind the wheel, there are certain things that every driver should know that they don't teach you in Driver's Ed - how to check tire pressure, how to check tire tread, how to jump-start a car, how to change a tire, and more.
What are some other things you wish you were taught when learning how to drive?

How’s the heat working? Have you checked your wipers and lights?
🔑 All three are keys to keeping your family safe on the road this winter.
Schedule with us today haglinautoinc.com

🗓This week:
✅Check that your heaters, defrosters and wipers work correctly.
➡️➡️❓Did you know that wiper blades, as a rule of thumb, should be changed every 6 months??
✅Transition to winter wiper blades
✅Use cold-weather washer fluid.
✅Check to see that all exterior and interior lights work and headlights are properly aimed.
When winter arrives, the last thing you want breaking down is your car's heater and defroster.
Not only is a frosty car inconvenient—it's also dangerous. Heat is needed to remove ice and fog build-up on your windshield. Without a working heater, your ability to see the road clearly can be severely hindered.
If you notice that your heater is faulty or doesn't work as efficiently as it used to, it's time to have it fixed!

This is your vehicle’s oil pressure warning light. While it may look like a genie in a bottle, it’s actually an image of an old fashioned oil can.
It indicates that your car is either low on oil or your oil pump isn’t circulating enough fluid. This is a critical warning light, since driving with low oil can quickly damage your vehicle’s engine.
This Christmas, Haglin Automotive would like to extend our hearts to our favorite local businesses. During these unprecedented times, we would like to encourage you all to shop local for your Holiday needs.
In the upcoming weeks, Haglin Automotive will be giving away gift cards to our favorite local businesses. To enter and win, follow our page, and follow this series. Participate by sharing your stories, and shopping local to bring our Boulder community together this Holiday season.
To ensure you and your family are winter ready, this week check the fuel, air and transmission filters at the same time. Here are some tips to do the job right.
Schedule your next oil change with us at haglinautoinc.com or call (720) 316-0510
haglinautoinc
November 14 at 11:53 AM ·
✅ During the winter, it is important to keep your gas tank at least half full
➡️this prevents moisture from forming in gas lines and possibly freezing.
✅Be diligent about changing the oil and filter at recommended intervals.
➡️Consider asking us upon scheduling your oil change to change to “winter weight”
✅Check the fuel, air and transmission filters at the same time.

As the days get shorter, it becomes increasingly important to check that your vehicle’s wipers and lights are all in proper working order.
You may not be able to see from the driver’s seat if a light isn’t working, so take the time to test all exterior lights and replace any if needed. Also, test your wiper blades and replace them if they skip, smear, squeak, or appear to be dried out or frayed.

Check the following:
- Fluids
- Belts & Hoses

Check engine light on?
The check engine light is your vehicle's way of letting you know that something is wrong. But don't stress - the best thing you can do is bring your vehicle into our shop for an inspection. Driving with the light on can make matters worse, and we will help find the solution that best fits the needs of you and your vehicle.

Did you know that your vehicle's tires can wear down significantly faster if the tire pressure is low, the wheel alignment is off, or the suspension and steering components are worn?
When your tires have very low tread and are excessively worn, your ability to slow, stop, and control your vehicle is drastically reduced and your safety on the road is at risk.

Driving with worn shocks or struts can result in an uncomfortable ride and a decrease in your ability to properly control your vehicle.
If you notice that your vehicle bounces excessively over bumps or vibrates at high speeds, it's time to have your suspension system inspected.
A car heater problem can be a bother, especially on cold days. Reasons behind a faulty car heater can include:
- Low coolant
- Bad heater core
- Clogged or broken heating controls
- Failing thermostats

When’s the last time you replaced your vehicle’s cabin air filter?
The cabin air filter, typically located behind the glove compartment, is responsible for filtering the air that comes into the cabin of your vehicle. This helps to remove pollutants and other contaminants.
Cabin air filters typically need to be replaced every 20,000 miles or so, and breathing in dirty air can be a danger to your health.

Fully autonomous cars aren’t that far in the future, and the basis of this technology is already implemented in many newer vehicles today. This technology is called ADAS, or advanced driver-assistance systems.
On a small scale, ADAS are intelligent electronic systems built into cars to aid drivers by helping to avoid risky situations and accidents. On a large scale, ADAS technology is one of the base steps toward fully autonomous driving.
Examples of ADAS technology include lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and self-parking.

Car batteries are often taken for granted until they simply stop working, and usually at the worst time. A dead battery can be an inconvenience at best and, at worst, may leave you stranded somewhere. That’s why it’s important to know when to replace your car battery. They typically only last between 3-5 years, and warning signs of a dying battery include:
- Engine is slow to start
- Check engine light is on
- Dim headlights
- Electrical problems
- Corroded battery terminals
Changing a flat tire can certainly be an inconvenience, but it’s also manageable if you’re prepared with the right tools and know-how. Fixing a flat is something every driver should know how to do. Read more about how to here:

While catalytic converter theft is nothing new, there has been a spike in the last year of these critical vehicle parts. Interestingly enough, two of the three rare earth metals used in catalytic converters are worth more per ounce than gold, which could explain the increase in theft.
Hybrid models, such as the Toyota Prius, contain a higher percentage of these precious metals, making them more at risk. Parking in well-lit and enclosed areas such as garages, installing a cat shield, or installing a car alarm system are examples of ways to combat catalytic converter theft on your vehicle.

The exhaust system in your vehicle may get overlooked when a problem occurs, simply because it is hidden away and signs of an issue aren’t always obvious. Driving with an exhaust leak can be harmful in a number of ways, which is why it is important to have your car inspected at the first sign of trouble.
If your vehicle has an exhaust leak, you may notice the following:
- Strange noises coming from the engine bay or from around the catalytic converter
- Drop in fuel economy
- Check engine light is on

Remember: if you haven’t been driving your vehicle as often, you still need to have your oil changed at regular intervals. Even motor oil that isn’t being used will still continue to degrade over time, and engines that have old oil in them can begin to oxidize.

While the battery provides the power needed to start your car, the alternator is the component that recharges the battery to provide power for your vehicle’s electrical components using energy from the engine.
Alternators can last anywhere from 40,000 to 100,000 miles. A failing alternator has similar symptoms as a dying battery, so having your vehicle tested as soon as you have trouble starting your car or notice electrical failures can determine whether the issue is with the battery, alternator, or other starting and charging system part.

- Clogged or dirty fuel filter
- Bent axles
- Misaligned wheels
There are many potential causes for this common symptom, so having the issue inspected by a professional is the best course of action when it comes to fixing a vibrating vehicle.
