Car Air Filter Replacement Service

What is the Air Filter all about?

Your car takes in air and passes it into the engine through the air filter. (Some cars have more than one air filter.) The air filter takes out dust, leaves, and other debris from the air before passing it into the engine where it’s mixed with fuel. The combination of air and fuel is essential for the car to run. If the air filter is dirty or clogged, it will not pass enough air into the engine, causing all sorts of problems (car may not start, engine may not run smoothly, etc.). If you use a reusable air filter (K&N), please specify that in the appointment notes, as you may just need a cleaning instead of a replacement. Unless you bought K&N filter, your car has a regular filter.

Keep in mind:

  • Replacing an air filter is one of the most straightforward and affordable automotive repairs.
  • Air filters cannot be repaired, only replaced.

How it's done:

  • Remove and replace air filter.

Our recommendation:

A mechanic should inspect the air filter during every maintenance service (in cars where the filter is readily accessible).

What common symptoms indicate you may need to replace the Air Filter?

  • Engine is running rough.
  • Engine may not run.
  • Low gas mileage.
  • Check Engine Light is on.

How important is this service?

A dirty air filter is unable to keep dirt, dust, and debris from entering your engine. When your air filter is dirty, your cylinders and oil will both be subject to contamination from dirt particles in the air, because they have no alternate method of filtering the air. This contamination causes wear and tear on your engine, and also reduces your gas mileage and emissions.

Thorough job and very fast worker! Recommend other work, I need done but there was no pressure. Friendly and got it done fast!
Honda Civic - Air Filter - San Francisco, California
I really enjoyed talking with Grzegorz and learning a bit about how my car was working (and not working). What he did brilliantly was say "I don't understand you my english is not very good, what I understand by the word you are saying is this..." - that is awesome communication from someone communicated in a language that is not their native tongue. Love it! Thanks Grzegorz for being patient with my lack of knowledge of cars as you taught me, and for helping me understand what you didn't understand from what I was saying. Excellent service!

Toyota Corolla L4-1.8L - Air Filter - San Francisco, California
Very thorough. Easy to work with. Thomas is quite conscientious in performing the necessary work and communicating what was done and other issues for future consideration (considering the age of my car). I would give him 10 stars if the rating system allowed it. I've already referred the YourMechanic service, and Thomas Tran in particular, to numerous friends and colleagues. Anyone can feel free to contact me directly to verify my recommendation.
