It’s no secret that we love clean air when we drive. Clean air coming in from the outside to keep out cabin from getting too muggy. Did you know that the air coming into your cabin is actually clean in large part because of the cabin air filter? Before the air reaches you, the cabin air filter is able to filter out any contaminants like allergens and pollen from getting into your main air. The team at Santa Cruz Toyota is happy to take a quick look and replace it if need be – your cabin air filter while performing other services on your Toyota.
Clean air is always good, especially when allergens come into play during allergy season. The team of professionals at Santa Cruz Toyota knows that there are more reasons than just comfort. Simply put, your cabin air filter is something easy to put off, and most people do. However, the health of your Toyota is important to the Santa Cruz team. By letting us take a look at your cabin air filter during routine maintenance and service, you are letting us catch any issues before it becomes too big. Sometimes the cabin air filter is just the tip of the iceberg, where when left alone for too long, it can become a much larger issue, impacting other parts of your car.
There is no set time or mileage to look for to know when your cabin air filter is needing to be replaced. If you drive in a lot of rush hour, in a place with a lot of dirt and exhaust, it’s likely you’ll need to replace your cabin air filter on more of a regular basis than someone who only drives occasionally. If you notice poor airflow in your car or maybe a musty almost moldy smell coming through your vents, it is likely a good time to see if it needs to be replaced. If this sounds like you, bring your Toyota to Santa Cruz Toyota, the local certified Toyota dealership and service center in Santa Cruz county.
