Auto Repair Services

AC System services include evacuation & recharge. We only used original equipment approved refrigerant for freon. When your car begins blowing warm air instead of cold air in the summertime this is when it is time to have your vehicle’s AC system inspected for any leaks or damages. You may need just a recharge to get that cool air blowing once again. Be on the lookout for AC Specials starting in March.

Northglenn Automotive accepts & welcomes all major aftermarket warranties. An aftermarket warranty provides protection once the factory coverage expires. You can add it anytime, not just when you purchase the vehicle. Aftermarket car warranties can also be called extended auto warranties, though technically, these are both vehicle service contracts commonly provided by third-party providers.

The check engine light is a signal that the onboard diagnostics equipment (or OBD) has detected a malfunction in the vehicle’s emissions, ignition, fuel or exhaust systems. It could be caused by something as simple as a loose gas cap or a faulty oxygen sensor or spark plug or something as severe as a faulty catalytic converter or major engine problems, so you shouldn’t ignore it. We use the latest diagnostic equipment to accurately diagnose your vehicle and determine the cause, offer a solution for the check engine light and any other drivability concerns.

A car’s drivetrain connects the engine to the wheels enabling the vehicle to move. As the engine runs, the drivetrain helps send power through the transmission to the drive wheels. The drive wheels can be either the front wheels, rear wheels, or all the wheels — also known as front-wheel, rear-wheel, and all-wheel drive. Components included in the drivetrain include the Engine, Transmission, Driveshaft, CV Joint, U Joint, Differentials & Axle Shafts.

Starter, Ignition Switch, Battery, Alternator & any other pieces on your vehicle big or small all play a part in a vehicle's electrical system it is what allows the vehicle to turn on/off.

Some wiring issues may be as simple as a loose wire or disconnected fuse or more difficult such as replacing an entire wiring harness. Our team of experts is here to help diagnose & determine all electrical problems you may be experiencing.

Modern car engines use a fuel system that consists of a fuel filter, a pump, and injectors. During a fuel injection service, we typically inspect all connections, the fuel and vacuum lines, the fuel rail, and the pressure regulator. Then we clean the fuel injectors and throttle body air intake. Afterward, we’ll pressure test the fuel pump and system and then decarbonize other parts of the system like the exhaust valves and pistons. When all is said and done, we run an exhaust emissions test before & after to make sure the system is working properly again and we have differential numbers to back up our work.

Keep your vehicle's emissions in check with maintenance to the exhaust system. The catalytic converter and mufflers help your vehicle exhaust cleaner emissions while maintaining more engine power. The catalytic converter gets rid of the unwanted gasses while the muffler gets rid of unwanted noises. In Colorado, catalytic converter theft is a major problem. If you have a failed catalytic converter, there is an underlying cause as catalytic converters are designed to not fail. If your catalytic converter has been stolen you will notice your vehicle won’t have much power & will also be very noisy.

Northglenn Automotive offers a thorough multi point inspection to address any concerns you may have and also ensure your vehicle is running at top performance. A multi-point inspection is important whether your car is new or old. It is one of the best forms of maintenance, alongside regular oil changes and tire rotations. While oil and fluid checks are also part of the process, multi-point inspections help technicians spot everything from brake issues to worn belts and hoses. The purpose of a multi-point inspection is to check a variety of key areas where vehicles are most likely to show signs of wear. Addressing these areas helps to ensure the vehicle is at optimal performance and that its longevity can be improved. Thorough inspections generally include Fluids, Tires, Brakes, Belts/hoses, shocks/structs & exhaust system. Used vehicle inspections are also offered, our recommendation is that you bring the vehicle to us before purchasing so we can provide an itemized list of any concerns & repairs that are necessary on the vehicle. We have saved our customers hundreds of thousands of dollars because of our used vehicle inspection program.

One of the most basic & routine maintenance items on your vehicle is an oil change. We recommend every 3-5K miles you get an oil change depending on the type of oil you use. Standard (Regular): Conventional oils are mineral-based products refined from crude oil taken from the ground. The term “synthetic”, however, does not imply that the oil is somehow created from man-made ingredients. Synthetic: Synthetic oil is made from natural ingredients using a special chemical process.

A vehicle's steering system is a vital part of a vehicle's ability to move. The main functions of the steering system is to provide vehicle turning per will of the driver, directional stability, it converts the rotary movement of the steering wheel into an angular turn of front wheels, and absorbs road shock from being transmitted to a driver's hands. A motor vehicle's steering system contains the following basic parts: Steering wheel, Steering shaft and Column, Tie rods, rack, idler arms, Pitman arm, and drag or center link. Northglenn Automotive has a suspension/steering/alignment specialist on staff.

We can replace shocks, struts, sway bar links, stabilizer bars, control arms & bushings for front & rear suspension. We typically recommend an alignment after suspension work has been completed to ensure your vehicle is running properly again. Northglenn Automotive has a suspension/steering/alignment specialist on staff.

The timing belt is a rubber belt that synchronizes the actions of the camshaft and crankshaft to keep your valves safely moving and your engine running. In older vehicles, the timing belt may actually be a chain. Regardless, the purpose is the same, and it is important to the functioning of your vehicle. Newer cars can usually go 100,000 miles before the timing belt needs replacement. Older vehicles may need it replaced at 60,000. It is important to note that if the water pump goes bad, the timing belt will usually need to also be replaced. If a timing belt is worn out it may begin to slip and severe misfires will occur. Unfortunately, there is no clear-cut sign that a timing belt is going bad.

Determining whether to fix or replace your transmission can be a difficult decision. Our team of certified technicians will aide you in determining what route is best to take when it comes to repairing or replacing your transmission.

A transmission service is a regular part of routine car maintenance, just like an oil change. The primary aspect of a transmission service is flushing out the old transmission fluid and replacing it with new fluid. Typically most manufacturers recommend your transmission to be serviced every 60k-100k miles for most automatic vehicles, while manual transmissions it is recommended every 30k-60k miles. CVT Transmissions utilize a much shorter window and we'll follow the manufacturers maintenance recommendations.

The water pump pushes coolant from the radiator through the coolant system, into the engine and back around to the radiator. The heat that the coolant picks up from the engine is transferred to the air at the radiator. Without the water pump, the coolant just sits in the system. The engine is likely to overheat, which can cause serious engine damage. Water pumps have a life span and should be replaced at the interval your owner's manual suggests.
