What is the difference between an engine air filter and a cabin air filter?

• The engine air filter protects the engine and fuel efficiency; the cabin air filter protects occupants from pollen, dust and odors.
• Both influence comfort and operating cost: a clogged cabin filter strains HVAC performance while a clogged engine filter can reduce fuel economy and power.
• Our service team replaces both with OEM parts and documents the work—ask about service specials and financing when you schedule service.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Engine air filter issues: reduced acceleration, lower MPG, unusual engine noises, or a check-engine light. Early replacement prevents costly downstream repairs.
• Cabin filter issues: reduced airflow, unpleasant odors, fogging windows, or increased allergens in the cabin.
• Our certified technicians at Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth diagnose symptoms precisely; if covered under warranty, repairs must be made at a certified dealership for protection.
