Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Keys Road Auto Service in Cheltenham today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Keys Road Auto Service in Cheltenham we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

Automotive Car Servicing and Repairs in Cheltenham

Dont be fooled by mechanics offering flat rate fixed price car service for all types of car. The simple fact is that every car is different and therefore requires different service requirements. Furthermore, each service interval is specifically designed to address particular areas of a car based on either the kilometres the car has travelled or how old the car is. Mechanics who claim to perform car service for a single "Fixed" price are usually only able to do so by taking shortcuts or not following the full, correct service procedure for a given service interval. In some cases you may even end up paying more than you should to cover for someone else paying less.

But that does not mean you should just hand your car over to a mechanic, cross your fingers and hope they give you a good price at the end either. A good mechanic will have a fair idea of how much each service should cost and give you the information up front. A much fairer method of pricing therefore is to give you a base price for a particular type of service and if anything may cost extra or anything unexpected pops up, inform you immediately, before any further work is carried out on your vehicle.

Keys Road Auto Service offer a range of structured car services with a fixed base price so you know what you will be paying up front. If there is any reason the service will exceed these prices, Damien and the team will tell you immediately so you are not caught by surprise with a big bill for extras after the fact. Some cars will cost more than others to service, and some service intervals require more work and parts than others but you can rest assured the team at Keys Road Auto Service will keep you fully informed.

Todays cars are very complex and just like the engine your vehicle's air conditioning system has elements that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation.

Leaking refrigerant or low refrigerant due to evaporation means your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, with a resulting increase in fuel usage.

Therefore it's important to regularly check the condition of the rubber seals for any signs of leaks or wear which may be a signal of refrigerant loss.
