Let's talk about air quality in Fort Wayne. It's a global issue, but affects us wherever we are. Many decades ago, Fort Wayne drivers began to become aware of how air pollution negatively affects health. But what about the air inside your vehicle?
Now, it's only been in the last few years that cabin air filters have become common in Fort Wayne. You can look in your owner's manual to see if you have one. If you do, there'll be a recommendation for replacing it when it gets dirty. If you live in an area of Indiana where there's a lot of dust, pollen or pollution, you may need to change it more often.
You can also ask your friendly and knowledgeable service advisor at Tuffy Fort Wayne - Coldwater in Fort Wayne. How hard is it to change an air filter on a car? It depends on your vehicle.
