Air Filtration

The climate control system in your car includes a filter that helps remove dust, mold, pollen, and other particles from the air, to improve air quality.  After a visual inspection, Speedway Garage can install a new cabin air filter replacement, if necessary. Your vehicle manufacturer recommends replacement at normal and severe intervals based on your driving habits. If you routinely drive in particularly challenging environments, such as on dirt or dusty roads, consider using the severe recommended interval. Even if it’s unclear when the last time your filter was replaced, your technician can tell if it’s clogged with dust and debris.

The engine air filter captures contaminants from the air, such as dirt and dust before they can enter the engine.  Normally, the system includes a pleated paper element and a paper or foam breather element to capture contaminants in the air coming from the PCV (positive crankcase ventilation) valve. A dirty, clogged engine air filter system prevents enough clean air from getting into the engine and can contribute to reduced acceleration. Manufacturers recommend replacement at particular intervals, which may be shorter if your vehicle is subject to severe conditions. After Speedway Garage technicians visually inspect your air filter, they may recommend to replace your air filter.
