The Power of a Car Air Filter Replacement for Performance and Comfort
Whether it’s an engine air filter or a car cabin filter replacement, the benefits of a clean air filter in your car or truck can make quite a difference to both the efficiency of your vehicle and the overall comfort level.
Once an engine air filter becomes clogged, it can decrease your MPG for various makes and models and will almost always reduce the overall engine performance.
Your car’s cabin air filter makes the interior of your car more comfortable. The cabin air filter helps to reduce dust, pollen, exhaust fumes, and other particulars that may otherwise drift around the interior of your car. Car cabin air filter replacements make a difference in the interior air quality and can be quite noticeable to drivers and passengers with allergies.
Both an engine air filter and a cabin air filter can be replaced within only a few minutes, so the appointment is short and quick. Hoffmaster’s Auto Care will also talk about doing a quick tune-up check when under the hood, to double-check that all belts, hoses, and other filters are working fine.
Properly Maintain Your Vehicle with a Timing Belt Replacement
Timing belts are crucial in allowing your vehicle’s engine to operate smoothly. They play a vital role in controlling the pistons and valves in your car or truck and they allow each step of the engine’s function to occur in the precise order it’s meant to. When timing belts fail, they can cause major damage to the engine, requiring major auto repairs.
Timing belt replacements should occur right before you hit 100,000 miles on your engine. Your auto tune-up shop in Silver Spring, MD can help inspect your timing belt around 80,000 miles to ensure you don’t need an early timing belt replacement. This is why regularly scheduled auto tune-ups are so important, to make sure your vehicle doesn’t need work prematurely and to catch it if it does.
Hoffmaster’s Auto Care also handles timing chain replacements, for those vehicles that don’t have timing belts. We’re equipped to inspect the engine and all belts and hoses to make sure your engine is performing at its best quality and we won’t recommend services you don’t need, instead, we’ll recommend when you should come back for the remaining services.
How Do You Know You Need to Visit a Tune-Up Shop?
- The engine is misfiring
- Rough idles
- Reduced acceleration or overall power
- Worse MPG economy
- High oil pressure
- Overheating engine
- Unusual smells or noises
Most vehicles require a tune-up every 10,000 to 20,000 miles to properly maintain the wear and tear that occurs on the belts, hoses, filters, and other components. Without these proper tune-ups, older vehicles are more at risk for failure and will have a decreased performance resulting in less acceleration and more gas usage.
New vehicles that have electronic engines can go up to 100,000 miles before they require a tune-up service. Consult with your local tune-up shop on what services your electronic engine may need, and when.
