Cabin Air Filter Service

Cabin Air Filter Service at Griffith Ford Seguin

One part of your vehicle that needs periodic replacement is your cabin air filter. A filter cleans the air entering your vehicle’s cabin from the outside. This is a simple and inexpensive part that keeps you breathing cleaner air inside your vehicle when you drive. If you live in or around Gonzales, Luling, or Kyle, you can bring your vehicle into Griffith Ford Seguin for cabin air filter service.

The Function of Your Vehicle’s Air Filter

You can find the cabin air filter located behind the glovebox in most vehicles. This filter’s function is to clean the air that enters your vehicle’s cabin through the heating and air conditioning systems. This filter provides better air quality in the cabin of your vehicle by filtering out dust, pollution, pollen, mold, and other harmful particles that are brought in through the heater and AC.

How Often Should My Car’s Air Filter Be Changed?

Many people are unaware that they have a cabin air filter, and it is one of those parts that are often taken for granted in your vehicle. This filter is crucial to provide clean air in your cabin when you are driving, so you have better air quality.

Most manufacturers recommend that you change the cabin air filter about every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. However, if you live down a dirt or gravel road in the country, your cabin air filter must work hard to keep your air clean because of the excessive particles found in the air from living in rural areas. The same idea applies to your locale if you live in large urban or metropolitan areas as these areas have harmful air particles of another kind with factories and industrial areas nearby.

Some signs to look for to tell you that it is time for a cabin air filter change include the following:

• Increased dust deposits on the interior or exterior surfaces of your vehicle.
• Unpleasant odors that don’t want to go away.
• Reduction in airflow from ventilation when climate control systems are engaged.

If you are noticing these signs or if you know you are due for a filter change, you can contact our Service Center at Griffith Ford Seguin and schedule service. It may not seem like an important component of your vehicle, but allergies can cause a lot of health problems.

You can set up an appointment around your schedule and relax in our comfortable waiting area while we replace the cabin air filter.
