Air Filtration

Your vehicle has two air filtration systems working simultaneously and most drivers never think about either one until a problem develops. The engine air filter is the first line of defense protecting your engine from the dust dirt pollen and debris that would otherwise be drawn directly into the intake and combustion chamber with every breath the engine takes. A clean properly functioning engine air filter allows the precise volume of clean air your engine needs for efficient combustion while blocking the contaminants that cause accelerated wear on intake components cylinder walls pistons and rings. The cabin air filter performs an equally important job on the other side of the firewall filtering the air that enters the passenger compartment through the HVAC system and protecting everyone inside the vehicle from dust pollen mold spores and other airborne contaminants.

In Louisiana the air filtration challenge is particularly significant. The combination of high humidity heat pollen from the abundant local vegetation and the fine road dust and debris common on North Shore roads means that air filters in this climate often need attention more frequently than the generic replacement intervals suggested in many owner's manuals. A clogged engine air filter does not fail dramatically — it degrades engine performance and fuel economy gradually and invisibly until the restriction becomes severe enough to cause noticeable symptoms. Brett's team inspects both the engine air filter and the cabin air filter on every vehicle as part of the complimentary multi-point courtesy inspection included with every service visit. We show you the actual condition of your filters and let you make the decision — we never replace filters that do not need replacing.
