Let's talk about air quality in Lake In The Hills. It's a global issue, but affects us wherever we are. Many decades ago, Lake In The Hills drivers began to become aware of how air pollution negatively affects health. But what about the air inside your vehicle?
Now, it's only been in the last few years that cabin air filters have become common in Lake In The Hills. You can look in your owner's manual to see if you have one. If you do, there'll be a recommendation for replacing it when it gets dirty. If you live in an area of Illinois where there's a lot of dust, pollen or pollution, you may need to change it more often.
You can also ask your friendly and knowledgeable service advisor at Tuffy Lake In The Hills in Lake In The Hills. How hard is it to change an air filter on a car? It depends on your vehicle. Some are quite accessible; others take some doing to get to them. They're usually in the engine compartment or under the dashboard.

Tuffy Lake In The Hills service advisors have discovered that many Lake In The Hills customers who complained about an unpleasant odor in their vehicle simply had a dirty cabin air filter.
