About Our Air Filter Services
We offer three primary types of air filter services for new and used vehicles. Each service serves a purpose, they benefit one another, and you can try them all in one convenient location.
Air Filter Services for an Engine - The Lowdown
An engine air filter protects different pistons and other key components from dust, dirt, and debris. If any contaminants bypass your engine's filter and reach its components, your engine will work harder, and it could eventually lose power for your commute around Woodbridge Township, NJ or Montclair, NJ. It could even fail if it can no longer breathe due to a heavy buildup of dirt, grime, and debris.
Our Engine Filter Service Strategies
If your check engine light illuminates, it may be time to bring your vehicle in for filter maintenance. However, ideally, it's best to seek maintenance before this happens. We recommend that you use this service at least once a year or every 12,000 to 15,000 miles.
Engine Maintenance Signs
Although the Check Engine Light is a helpful tool that can detect engine problems, there are other ways to catch air filtration problems early. Here are five signs that your engine will need maintenance.
Strange Sounds - What Causes Them
Contaminants can decrease the amount of lubrication that's found on an engine and make it function efficiently. It can also produce inconsistent oil pressure, and this pressure is what causes those strange engine sounds.
Lower Efficiency
A dirty filter can make an engine consume more fuel than it should. If your vehicle is getting fewer miles per gallon on a consistent basis, the remedy could be a new air filter.
A Powerful Odor
If your engine emits a strong odor while it's running, this means that the fuel isn't being processed like it's supposed to. A fresh air filter can also correct this issue.
Engine Misfire
Engine misfires happen due to low fuel pressure or uneven fuel circulation. To prevent misfires, you must keep your engine's air filter clean.
Poor Acceleration
When the act of accelerating up a hill becomes a chore, a clogged filter could be the culprit. A clogged filter can also hamper acceleration during towing and haul scenarios.
Air Filter Services for a Cabin
This service is designed for the filtration system that exists in your cabin. Most vehicles have a filter that cleanses outside air before it reaches passengers, and the filter is usually the pleated variety.
When to Use Our Cabin Filtration Services
Ideally, you should bring your vehicle in for this type of filter maintenance whenever air struggles to flow through your vents. However, there are also other things to be aware of, like fog. If fog builds up on your windshield when you run the AC on the defrost setting, our service could be beneficial because a foggy windshield could mean that the air filter is clogged.
A foul odor is another sign that your vehicle's air filters are dirty or clogged. If the air in your cabin is dusty, musty, or dirty, your vents are already compromised.
How We Do Business
If your engine or AC system needs filter maintenance, there are two ways to take action. You could call us in advance to schedule an appointment or stop by our service center whenever it's convenient for you. No matter how you choose to move forward, our crew will take care of you and your vehicle.
