What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?

• The engine air filter protects the engine and fuel economy; the cabin air filter cleans incoming air for occupants, removing pollen, dust, and pollutants.
• Both matter: a clogged engine filter reduces power and efficiency, while a dirty cabin filter lowers HVAC performance and interior air quality.
• Our technicians use OEM filters and document work with clear service records and warranty guidance; warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced acceleration or lower fuel economy can indicate a clogged engine filter; musty odors, reduced airflow, or allergy symptoms point to a dirty cabin filter.
• We provide fast diagnostics and show you the condition of your filters so you can make an informed decision about replacement and future savings.
