Filters

An air filter allows outside air into an engine’s intake manifold, and prevents dirt particles, bugs, and other contaminants from entering the engine and causing destruction. Unfortunately, engine air filters lose effectiveness over time and require replacements.  A dirty air filter can negatively affect gas mileage and make an engine run roughly.

We check your engine air filter as part of our 23-point courtesy inspection and during each oil change.

Just like your home HVAC system, your car’s system has an air filter – commonly called the cabin air filter.  It cleans the outside air as it enters the passenger compartment and filters such contaminants as dirt, dust, pollen, bacteria and even engine exhaust gases.   You may also find insects, leaves and other debris lodged in the filter over time.

To keep the air inside the car fresh so you and your passengers can breathe easy, and your air-conditioner can work at its full capability, we include checking the cabin filter in our free 25 point courtesy inspection.
