All of us in Mesa know we have to get the oil changed in our vehicles periodically. That's just part of good vehicle care. But when Tuffy Mesa technicians change your oil, they also usually inspect your air filter. That's why they sometimes let you know that your air filter needs to be changed before releasing your vehicle.
Don't just chock this up to trying to sell you something else. Mesa area drivers really do need to change their air filter when it gets dirty.

Changing an air filter isn't guesswork. If a filter's dirty, it needs to be replaced. Air filters aren't very expensive at Tuffy Mesa. But the problems they cause if Mesa auto owners don't change them can get to be.
