Fresh, clean air is one of those things that’s easy to take for granted—until you don’t have it anymore, of course. If you go too long without replacing the cabin air filter in your Honda, you just might find that fresh air is in short supply. Before that happens, head to Serra Honda of Champaign, serving Urbana and Savoy, for our cabin air filter replacement service.
The air is filled with contaminants: dust, pollen, mold spores, bugs, and more. The cabin air filter is what keeps this stuff out of your car’s cabin so that it doesn’t go into your lungs. As these contaminants make their way towards your cabin, they get trapped in the cabin air filter’s fibers and folds, allowing only clean air to pass through.
Over time, the cabin air filter becomes more and more clogged. When this happens, there are a number of problems that might pop up. Your HVAC system may have to work harder for less output, keeping you from being as warm or cool as you’d like. This even extends to the system’s ability to defog your windows. But that’s not all that could happen. As contaminants build up and begin to molder, they may start to smell. A musty, moldy smell inside your cabin may well be due to a cabin air filter that’s overdue for a change.
Officially, changing the cabin air filter is part of the 30,000-mile service that’s recommended for your Honda. However, you may need to have it done sooner than this, especially if you have seasonal allergies. Pollution also plays a role in this. If you’re driving on highways choked with traffic or in more industrial areas, you may find that your air filter experiences problems sooner than it otherwise might.
Serra Honda of Champaign is proud to have a state-of-the-art service center staffed by expert technicians who will be glad to change the cabin air filter in your Honda car, truck, or SUV. They’ll use only genuine OEM Honda replacement cabin filters, ensuring the same high quality that your vehicle had when it came from the factory. If you prefer to change the filter yourself, visit our parts store. We sell these same OEM filters so DIY enthusiasts can have only the best. We look forward to serving you at Serra Honda of Champaign, well worth the drive from Urbana.
