There is a part in your vehicle called a cabin air filter. This filter actually filters the air you breathe in your car. These filters are positioned between the outside elements/engine compartment and your passenger cabin.

Aside from flotsam and jetsam (which you’ll notice more of if you drive a lot on back roads), these filters catch mold spores, engine exhaust fumes and allergens. Although they won’t affect your engine performance, they will definitely affect the quality of your time in your vehicle. Failing to change an old or clogged cabin air filter can result in musty smells, sneezy riders and literal headaches.
-- Don't let your filter get as bad as this one -- We pulled this out of a car a few months ago.

It has come to our attention, that some of you may not be driving your cars as much as your should. I know, I know, there is a pandemic, and social distancing is required.

Well, we ENCOURAGE you to go drive your car! Colorado is filled with amazing places to see at any time of the year.

Newer cars - 2014 and newer have something called a AGM battery. This is a super powered battery that runs all of your electronics and computers. This battery needs to be in tip top shape, and running/driving your car on a regular basis will help.

What is an AGM battery you ask? - AGM stands for Absorbed Glass Mat and in batteries, it refers to a totally new design driven by higher needs in vehicles equipped with a ton of electronics, especially those with automatic start/stop systems.

AGM batteries use a mesh of crushed fiberglass between the lead plates inside the battery and have control valves to prevent excessive loss of liquid during a recharge phase. This makes them much safer to handle and use, especially in those vehicles where they’re placed inside the passenger compartment or under a rear cargo floor.

There are other benefits, too: they can offer more starts per lifetime (up to 60,000), whereas a conventional battery is usually good for around 5,000. They can also recharge faster, which is important for vehicles that see a lot of short runs at lower speeds, and their construction is usually more durable thanks to the glass matting that can help cushion the battery’s internals from severe road shocks.

So... too much information? No.. Education is the key to your successful car ownership.

GO DRIVE!

Today the topic is Cabin Air filters. These filters, while unseen by you, are very important to the quality of the air INSIDE your car. We pulled one out of a car today that was so dirty is was beyond comprehension.

With the smoke and bad air quality we have been having here in Colorado.. it is VERY important that you have it check and replaced (if necessary) EVERY time your car goes in for an oil change or service.

Don't be like this person and let it get this bad....
