Are you breathing in mould spores?

Your car is more than just a way of getting from point A to point B; it's also a small ecosystem. In order for your car to perform optimally, all of its parts need to be functioning properly, which includes the cabin air filter.

Petrie Mechanical Repairs currently offers a special on cabin air filter replacement and mist service for $149.

Cabin Air Filter: What Is It And What Does It Do?

A cabin air filter, often overlooked, plays a vital role in maintaining the health of the vehicle's occupants and overall performance of the vehicle. Its job is to clean the air that comes into the interior through the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system. It catches dust, pollen and other airborne material that can make riding in a car unpleasant, especially if you have allergies or other respiratory problems.

Signs You Need to Replace Your Cabin Air Filter

Like any other component in your vehicle, the cabin air filter needs to be replaced from time to time to maintain optimal performance. Here are a few signs that you might need to replace yours:

Reduced Airflow: If you're noticing less air flowing through your ventilation system, this could be a sign that your cabin air filter is blocked and needs replacing.

Unpleasant Odour: A musty or dirty smell when you turn on your car's air conditioning or heater is often a clear sign your cabin air filter needs changing.

Allergy Symptoms: If you're experiencing allergy symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or itchy eyes while driving, it may be due to a dirty cabin air filter.

Increased Fan Noise: If you're hearing more noise from your fan, it's possible your cabin air filter is clogged and the fan is working harder to push air through.
