Cabin Air Filter Replacement at George's Auto Repair Inc

Last Updated: Nov 19, 2019

Let’s talk about cabin air filters. There seems to be some confusion about them among Tillsonburg drivers that we should be able to clear up. Much of the confusion starts because cabin air filters are relatively new. Not all vehicles in Tillsonburg have them, so some folks confuse their cabin air filter with the engine air filter.

Every vehicle has an engine air filter that cleans the air going into the engine, but not all have a cabin air filter that cleans the air going into the passenger compartment. Easy to get mixed up.

The cabin air filter cleans out dust, pollen, spores and other pollutants. To give a point of comparison, a grain of sand is about 200 microns across. A cabin air filter can stop particles that are just 3 microns in size. It really does make the vehicle passenger cabin a much more pleasant environment.

When the cabin air filter gets dirty, Tillsonburg drivers just need to replace it. Your owner’s manual may have a recommended interval for changing it. If not, we can inspect it at George's Auto Repair Inc. You know, it’s ironic that many people who don’t realize they even have a cabin air filter first find out they do when it starts to get smelly.

Some vehicle cabin air filters are very easy to access when it’s time to replace them. Others, not so much. Your service advisor may have to get behind the dashboard and it takes some time.

A clean cabin air filter keeps out smog, allergens and other harmful pollutants. If it’s time, get it changed right away.
