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 Alex's Auto Services in Botany 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 Alex's Auto Services in Botany 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.

RAS Auto Facts - Air Conditioning

Evaporation occurring naturally over time or leaks may reduce refrigerant pressure meaning your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, which in turn means more fuel is getting used up.

Therefore it is important to conduct a regular inspection of the condition of the rubber seals for any signs of leaks or decline which could be causing a loss of refrigerant.

An annual car air conditioner service means you can assist protection from costly breakdowns now and in the future, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced automotive air conditioner system actually saves you money because it lowers your fuel consumption.

Wheel Bearings are the means by which axles and wheels are supported and able to turn freely, with minimum friction and whilst simultaneously carrying the entire weight of the vehicle.

They are therefore a critical element of your car's drivetrain and a Wheel bearing failure can be catastrophic, as it will usually result in the axle or wheel collapsing and detaching from the car. Because wheel bearings are usually hidden, it is often a forgotten component in the vehicle, so proper maintenance and regular inspection is important.

If you are unaware of any unusual noises or symptoms, be sure to alert the team at Alex's Auto Services in Botany so they can investigate thoroughly.

Wheel bearing failure: symptoms and causes

The wheels on your vehicle need to operate in a smooth manner, regardless of surfaces and speeds. When there is damage to the wheel bearings, the drive is no longer smooth as friction will build up. This friction can then break down the wheel bearings and cause wear and tear on the axle.

Alex's Auto Services can give you peace of mind by advising you what is causing the loud noise or vibration in your vehicle. It may be time to come in and see our mechanics if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

Damaged or leaking seal on the wheel bearings
