Cabin Air Filter Replacement at Evans INFINITI of Dayton in Centerville, Ohio

Allergies or sensitivities to pollen, dust, dirt, smoke, and smog can be the bane of many driver’s time outside. But the good news is that your car’s HVAC system doesn’t leave you unprotected. In fact, the cabin air filter helps remove those pollutants so that drivers can drive without the fear of having pollen-laden air blown directly into their faces.

Why A Cabin Air Filter Replacement is Important

Much like the HVAC system in your home, the HVAC system in your car runs the external air through a filter before it gets blown into the cabin of your vehicle. This filter is designed to remove small and large pollutants like smoke, smog, pollen, dirt, dust, and more. Over time, these pollutants get collected in the filter, making it less effective until it is replaced with a clean filter.

When You Should Get A Cabin Air Filter Replacement

Being mindful that drivers located in high-pollutant areas will have to replace their filters more frequently, the average driver should replace their air filter every 15,000-30,000 miles. Other signs you might need a cabin air filter replacement include a filter that looks dirty, a foul odor when the air is on, wheezing or whistling coming from the vents, or decreased fan capabilities.

The Cabin Air Filter Replacement Process

Step 1

A technician will access your air filter. In most cases, the filter is as easy to access as pressing down on a tab, although some vehicles require more effort to access the filter, such as removing the whole glove box.

Step 2

The technician will replace the glove box and throw away the old filter. Time to enjoy your fresh air!

Step 3

Once everything is reinstalled, technicians will check the brake fluid reservoir, pump the brakes, then recheck the reservoir to make sure that no brake fluid is leaking.

Cost of A Cabin Air Filter Replacement

A cabin air filter replacement is generally a pretty simple process, so the average price range for a cabin air filter replacement is between $30 and $70. The price depends on how easily accessible your filter is, as well as the material of the new filter.

Questions to Ask Your Service Technician
