At Dion's Mechanical Services we care about you as well as your car and about any passengers you might carry in it.

We are therefore often appalled to see the state of Cabin Air Filters overwhelmingly found in cars brought to our shop, having previously been serviced by shoddy, unscrupulous or just downright lazy mechanics - including the dealership workshops.

We recommend regular car servicing by reputable mechanics to ensure things like this don't get overlooked. It is a relatively simple thing to check that the cabin air filter of a vehicle is up to the task of keeping the air in the car clean and breathable but amazingly we see a large number of vehicles with filters in an atrocious state.

Designed to filter out pollen or other contaminants whilst absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases, cabin air filters have the task of preventing such toxins from entering the cabin of a vehicle - which is basically the air you and your passengers breathe.

But if these filters are not checked and changed on a regular basis the build up of filtered debris begins to impact the volume of filtered air entering the vehicle cabin and the filters become less effective at their primary role of providing clean air to the cabin. As you can imagine the example above would have been effectively blocked, meaning the amount of fresh, clean, breathable air in the car would have been severely impacted.

Ask our mechanics about cabin air filter replacement when you book your car in for your next service and breathe easier knowing your passengers are breathing clean, filtered air. While you might be tempted to try and replace your own cabin air filters, there are a few reasons why you should consider this approach very carefully.

Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Rockhampton

Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Dion's Mechanical Services in Rockhampton today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Dion's Mechanical Services in Rockhampton we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.
