Clean Air for Your Engine: A New Engine Air Filter at Commerce Auto Repair

July 11, 2016

All of us in Commerce know we have to get the oil changed in our vehicles periodically. That's just part of good vehicle care. But when Commerce Auto Repair technicians change your oil, they also usually inspect your air filter. That's why they sometimes let you know that your air filter needs to be changed before releasing your vehicle.

Don't just chock this up to trying to sell you something else. Commerce area drivers really do need to change their air filter when it gets dirty. You can check your owner's manual to see how often your air filter should need to be changed, but remember, if you live in an area in Michigan with poor air quality, or if you drive a lot or drive under harsh conditions in the Commerce area, you may need to change that filter more often than is recommended.

Changing an air filter isn't guesswork. If a filter's dirty, it needs to be replaced. Air filters aren't very expensive at Commerce Auto Repair. But the problems they cause if Commerce auto owners don't change them can get to be.
