Cabin air filter
The cabin air filter cleans the air entering the cabin — when dirty, it cuts airflow, fogs the windows and brings a bad smell.
What it is and how we do it
Also called the pollen or cabin filter, it traps dust, pollen, soot and allergens before the air reaches passengers through the ventilation and air-conditioning system.
We locate the filter (behind the glovebox or under the hood, depending on the model), assess its state and replace it with the correct type, including activated-carbon versions where specified.
Symptoms and when to come in
Weak airflow even at maximum, a musty smell when the AC turns on, windows fogging easily and worse allergies inside the car point to a saturated filter.
Replace it per your manual and sooner if you drive a lot in traffic, dust or near roadworks. It is worth checking at every service.
Why it matters and why Mr. Service
A clogged filter overworks the blower motor, cuts AC efficiency and affects the air you breathe — important for allergy sufferers.
At Mr. Service we use the correct filter and check the ventilation system, on domestic and imported cars of all brands. Quote approved beforehand, a 3-month warranty on labour and service in Portuguese, English and Turkish in Chácara Santo Antônio.
