Cabin Air Filter Replacement at Benson CDJR in Greer, South Carolina

Why A Cabin Air Filter Replacement is Important

As your car intakes outside air, it picks up particles in the air such as pollen, dust, smoke, or smog, and sometimes larger bits like leaves or bugs. A cabin air filter acts as a barrier between those pollutants and the air that is being blown on you and your passengers. The filter removes these particles and ultimately gets dirty and clogged as it does its job.

When You Should Get A Cabin Air Filter Replacement

The air filter in your car should be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles or when the filter is dirty upon inspection, if the system is not heating or cooling well, if the fan has decreased power, or if there is a wheezing, whistling, or foul odor coming from the vents.

The Cabin Air Filter Replacement Process

Step 1

A technician will start by accessing your air filter. For most vehicles, the filter is located behind the glove compartment and can be as easy to access as pressing down on a tab or as complicated as removing the whole glove box.

Step 2

Then, the technician will remove the old filter and replace it with a brand-new filter.

Step 3

Lastly, the technician replaces the glove box and throws away the old filter. Say hello to fresh, clean cabin air!

Cost of A Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Replacing a cabin air filter is generally pretty simple, so the average range for a cabin air filter replacement is between $30 and $70, depending on how easy it is to access your car's air filter.

Questions to Ask Your Service Technician

• Ask to look at your old filter to see just how much gunk and grime it picked up. Gross!

• Ask your technician how complicated it was to replace your filter. If it was easy, you might be inclined to replace it yourself.

Signs of a Quality Cabin Air Filter Replacement

• There should be no smell, whistling, or wheezing when the air is on.

• Clean air should come through to the cabin cleanly and blowers should work at full volume.
