• We install OEM filters and explain inspection results clearly; check our service specials for current savings.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Decreased acceleration or fuel economy, rough idle, or unusual engine sounds may signal a clogged engine air filter.
• Persistent interior odors, reduced airflow from vents, or increased dust inside the cabin indicate a failing cabin air filter.
• If you notice any symptoms, schedule appointment with Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth for a fast inspection and an OEM replacement if needed.
