Engine Air Filter Service in Flint, MI

No sight is more upsetting than seeing the check engine light on your dash illuminated. Instantly, you imagine being stranded on I-75 in the middle of the night or the price quote if you need a new motor. Fortunately, there are many ways to avoid these issues that can cause you to lose countless hours of sleep. The team at Shea Buick GMC is here to ensure your car, truck, or SUV's engine continues to function flawlessly with professional air filter service.

The Vital Job of An Air Filter

When you think about keeping damaging dirt and grit out of your engine, the first thing that comes to mind could be your engine oil. While it captures some of the debris removed by the oil filter, that is only half the job. The engine air filter completes the other half of the task. There are hundreds of shapes and models of air filters on the market, and each is created to fit one or a few specific engines to provide optimal filtration and protection. They do the job for just a fraction of the cost of a new engine, so it is a wise investment to keep your vehicle engine functioning reliably.

Identifying An Air Filter That Is Past Its Prime

If you have inspected the filters on your HVAC system at home, you can apply the same skills and logic to your vehicle's air filter. When you remove the filter from the housing, if it is covered in dust and dirt, it is time to be replaced, even if you have not driven the distance or had the filter installed for the entire life expectancy rating. Clogged or dirty air filters make your car's engine work harder to draw in the air it needs to do its job. So, replacing a dirty air filter for less than $20 bucks is a great way to increase the longevity of your car's engine and maybe even boost your fuel economy.
