Types of Air Filter Services:
Inspection: Technicians visually inspect the air filter for signs of dirt, clogging, or damage. This is typically done during routine maintenance or upon request.
Replacement: A dirty or clogged air filter restricts airflow, reducing engine performance and fuel efficiency. Replacing it with a new, high-quality filter is crucial for optimal performance.
Cleaning (reusable filters only): Some high-performance air filters are designed to be cleaned and reused. Workshops can professionally clean these filters to restore their performance.
Service Providers:
Workshops: Most general repair shops offer air filter replacements at competitive prices.
Dealerships: Authorized dealerships use genuine filters specific to your car make and model, but their services might be more expensive.
You can also replace the air filter yourself. It’s a relatively simple process for most cars, and your owner’s manual will provide instructions.
