While most drivers are diligent about keeping up with their oil changes, tire rotations and wiper blade replacements, the cabin air filter often gets neglected. This vital component stays out of sight until a technician reveals the buildup of dirt and debris it has trapped over time. Ideally, you should replace your cabin air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, but in urban or densely populated areas, more frequent changes might be necessary. When our technicians show you a dirty filter, don’t dismiss it — this small part significantly affects your vehicle’s performance and your comfort.

Even though Cuyahoga Falls generally enjoys good air quality, heavy traffic can expose you to more exhaust fumes. By regularly replacing your cabin air filter, you can minimize the pollution that enters your vehicle, ensuring cleaner air for you to breathe and better overall health.
Seasonal allergens such as pollen and grass can affect everyone, not just those with severe allergies. In the spring and summer, these allergens can cause sore throats, itchy eyes and congestion. A new cabin air filter helps reduce the pollen and other irritants that enter your vehicle, providing a more pleasant driving experience.
Your vehicle’s HVAC system depends on the engine to function properly. A dirty cabin air filter makes the engine work harder to circulate air, which can decrease fuel efficiency. Keeping the cabin air filter clean allows your heating and cooling systems to operate more effectively and enhances your vehicle’s overall efficiency.
