Could you car make your allergies worse? Yes it can!

Did you know you can help prevent allergies with replacing a filter in your car? It is called your Cabin Air Filter.

With spring right around the corner, everyones allergies are bound to start affecting them with sneezing, runny noses, coughs, watery eyes. Well why not prevent it! Pollen, dust and pollutants that are drawn inside vehicles through air conditioning and ventilation systems, can be all simply filtered out through your cabin air filter. These air filters clean the incoming air, removing allergens, and should be replaced regularly.

Dont be that person driving down the road that can be seen blowing your nose. “A dirty or clogged cabin air filter can cause contaminants to become so concentrated in the cabin that passengers actually breathe in more fumes and particles when riding in the car than when walking down the street,” said Rich White, executive director, National Car Care Council.

Stop in today to your local Victory Lane Quick Oil Change for a free inspection of your cabin air filter today! We are located at 903 W Ann Arbor Rd in Plymouth and open Mon-Fri 8am-7pm and Saturday 8am-5pm!
