What is an air filter replacement service?

Your car actually has two different air filters:

• Cabin air filter - Cleans pollen, dust, and other particles from the air entering the cabin, improving air quality for you and your passengers.

• Engine air filter - Removes dust, bugs, and debris from the air your engine uses for combustion, helping your car perform better, use fuel efficiently, and keep emissions cleaner.

During an air filter replacement service we make sure both filters are working properly and are swapped out when they’re clogged or worn.

Signs you need an air filter replacement

For cabin air filters, watch for:

• Dirty, musty, or smelly air inside the cabin

• Reduced effectiveness of heating or A/C

• Visible dirt or particles blowing through vents

For engine air filters, signs include:

• Reduced gas mileage

• Loss of power or sluggish acceleration

• Engine misfires or unusual noises

• Check engine light appearing

Why is an air filter service important?

Clean air filters protect your health and your vehicle’s performance. Cabin air filters improve the air you breathe while driving, while engine air filters protect your engine from damage and wear. Neglecting filter replacements can hurt fuel economy, reduce horsepower, and even lead to more serious engine issues.

How often should you replace air filters?

A good rule of thumb is to replace your cabin air filter every 12,000-15,000 miles (or once a year) and your engine air filter every 30,000 miles. However, driving conditions make a difference. Dusty environments or heavy city driving may require more frequent changes.
