Breathe Deep in Clawson With a New Cabin Air Filter
December 16, 2018
Poor interior air quality is nothing to sneeze at, and Clawson auto owners might be interested to know that more and more new cars are coming equipped with a cabin air filter. Check your vehicle owner's manual, but they typically need to be replaced at around 12,000 to 15,000 miles (19,000 to 24,000 kilometers).
The filter is usually under the vehicle hood or under the dashboard. Some are a little tricky to get to, so you'll want to have your friendly and knowledgeable Top Tech Auto Repair Clawson service advisor take care of replacing them.

Clawson residents who suffer from allergies can really benefit from a cabin air filter as it keeps irritants to a minimum. If you're one of them, you'll want to replace your filter regularly.
