Question:
My car has a bad odor when I run the heater or air conditioner. My friend said I might need a new cabin air filter – what's that?
Rays Muffler and Auto Repair Answer:
A cabin air filter is a special filter that cleans the air that comes into the Bountiful drivers' passenger compartments – or cabin – of their vehicles. Most new vehicles sold in Utah now have a cabin air filter. A cabin air filter catches dust, pollen, spores and other pollutants before they can get into your cabin. It's kind of like the filter on your furnace in your Bountiful home, cleaning the air you breathe inside your vehicle.
As Bountiful drivers can imagine, it eventually gets filled up and can even start to get smelly. So – you just have it replaced. Now some are really easy to access and others are tougher to get to. Your friendly and knowledgeable Rays Muffler and Auto Repair will be able to take care of it for you.
Your 's owner's manual likely has a recommendation for when to replace the cabin air filter. If you live and drive in Utah where there is a lot of dust, pollen or pollution, the filter will fill up more quickly. Of course, if you're getting a bad odor, bring it to the attention of your friendly and knowledgeable Rays Muffler and Auto Repair service advisor.
