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?

Beamer Tire & Auto Repair Inc. Answer:
A cabin air filter is a special filter that cleans the air that comes into the High Point/Greensboro drivers' passenger compartments – or cabin – of their vehicles. Most new vehicles sold in NC 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 High Point/Greensboro home, cleaning the air you breathe inside your vehicle.

As High Point/Greensboro 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 Beamer Tire & Auto Repair Inc. 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 NC 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 Beamer Tire & Auto Repair Inc. service advisor.
