• Our certified technicians will inspect the filter at routine service visits and recommend replacement only when warranted to preserve value and efficiency.
• Scheduling regular inspections through our schedule service tool helps avoid premature wear and saves on long-term repair costs.

What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?

• The engine air filter protects the engine from dust and debris; the cabin air filter protects passengers from pollen, dust, and pollutants.
• Both impact comfort and performance: a clogged engine filter reduces efficiency, a clogged cabin filter degrades HVAC airflow and in-cabin air quality.
• We install OEM filters to maintain factory fit and filtration performance, and we honor warranty requirements for any covered repairs done at our dealership.
• View current service specials or schedule service to get both filters inspected and replaced if needed.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced fuel economy, decreased acceleration, unusual engine sounds, or poor HVAC airflow can all indicate a dirty air filter.
• If you notice odors, increased dust inside the cabin, or heavier-than-normal cabin allergen levels, your cabin filter may need replacement.
• Our technicians perform a thorough inspection and explain recommended repairs and associated savings. We also offer service financing to help you act now and pay later.
