Cabin Air Filter Replacement near Aurora, IL

Cabin Air Filter Replacement near Aurora, IL

Your Subaru’s interior should be a place where you can unwind while on the way home from work. Relaxing becomes a difficult task once your cabin air filter needs replacing. To know when this service is needed and what this part does inside your car, read this guide by Gerald Subaru of North Aurora!

Cabin Air Filter

To truly know the importance of a cabin air filter, you should understand the role it plays inside your Outback. If you were to drive in a car without a filter, all of the dirt that you come across in Aurora will enter your vehicle. To prevent this from happening, this component is in place. It acts as a barrier that prevents impurities from freely entering your vehicle. However, much like other filters, eventually the effectiveness of this part will deteriorate. Once this happens, you will need to find a time and date to visit for a replacement. 

Warning Signs

Since the cabin air filter is responsible for the air quality inside your car, you will notice signs right off the bat when a replacement is needed. For example, when this component is no longer able to hold back the pollen and debris, they will begin to break into your Crosstrek. With these contaminants comes a musty smell that is going to have you driving with all windows down to Aurora West Forest Preserve. This scent will likely be accompanied by a squealing sound when you turn on the air conditioning system. Also, when this setup is on, make sure to see how well the breeze is emanating from the vents. Lessened airflow can mean that the filter is clogged, so you will need to stop by our service center

Replacement Process

The replacement process for a cabin air filter tends to remain the same for every make, but you should always check your Owner’s Manual for specific details. We recommend that you visit around every 15,000 miles. There are different filters available, with the first being the regular particulate filter. This option will field out dirt and pollen for an easier breathing experience. However, an activated carbon component is available as well. This version is able to catch gas and exhaust fumes, which can be beneficial if you’re routinely driving across I-88. Our technicians will be able to discuss which will work best for your needs when you meet with us. Once you’ve come to a decision, we can order it swiftly from our Parts Department!

My family has been buying cars from the Gerald Auto Group since the mid-90's and our cars are always serviced with the location at which they were purchased. That having been said, my recent service call with David Gonzales was very positive, although the news I received was not. Due to poor alignment, my tires wore unevenly so that they could not be rotated as I had requested. David brought out quotes for new tires (they don't carry the suggested tire in stock - not surprisingly, nobody does!) and was very helpful with additional places to purchase new ones. I'll be back for the service department to re-align my 2010 Legacy once I've gotten new tires. (Yes, I'm on a budget, so I'll do some online shopping before I order those pricey new shoes!) These guys always do the best work, and I feel confident that the work is done right the first time. I don't trust anyone else to service my car!

Excellent service

Today I had the pleasure of purchasing a used Subaru Legacy from Gerald with the assistance of Nichole, as well as Devin. Some of the best practices they apply to customer experience is second to none - when you walk in their showroom every staff member greets you and makes it a point to ensure you feel welcomed. They display and truly embodie a team approach to making sure you are in the best hands. Thanks for all of the water, as well as good food options. If you are looking for a new or used Subaru, place your trust in these folks, they will work to get you what you want and will make it an enjoyable and informative experience from start to finish. I'm excited to be in the Subaru family, and the Gerald family. These folks truly care, and it shows from the moment you arrive on their lot.

i would recommend 10/10 to anyone looking for a car.
