Are you looking for a service center near San Antonio to replace your air filter and carry out routine maintenance? Here at Red McCombs Toyota, we’ve got the personnel, equipment, and auto parts to help. Reach out to our team to learn more, or go right ahead and book a service appointment today.

Why You Need An Air Filter

Your air filter is a critical part of your engine because it ensures that an adequate flow of air circulates around its moving parts. Maintaining the right balance between air and fuel can help make your engine more efficient and keep it running smoothly for a longer period of time. This is just one reason why making sure that you regularly change your air filter is a key part of any strong vehicle maintenance regime.

Failure to change your air filter on time could result in poor airflow, which can cause your engine to overheat and wear out sooner. The various components in an engine are some of the most complex parts in your vehicle, making a major engine repair an expensive prospect. Regularly replacing your air filter is a cheap option by comparison.

A more efficient engine can help boost your vehicle’s fuel economy. Over a long period of time, a difference of 1-2 mpg on city roads or at highway speeds can make a big difference in the amount of money you have to spend at the gas pump.

Air filters also perform the important job of stopping dust and other debris from getting into your engine, which can result in damage to engine components. As your filter gets older, it becomes less able to block dust and debris. One way to tell if your filter’s lifespan is nearing its end is to check whether it has turned a brownish or gray color, or has spots on it. All of these signs suggest that it’s time to make an appointment at your local service center to have the filter changed.

Replacing your air filter is usually a straightforward task. It’s easily located near the top of your engine, often in a plastic casing. Once the old filter is removed, we can fit a new one into place in no time so you can get back on the road.

When Should You Replace Your Air Filter?

Each vehicle is built differently, so it’s best to consult your owner’s manual for instructions on how often you should replace your air filter. If you can’t find your manual, you can learn more about specific recommendations for vehicles in the Toyota lineup by talking to our team of Toyota experts.

As a general rule, most air filters need replacing once a year. Alternatively, you should aim to change your filter after 12,000 to 15,000 miles of driving.

Your driving habits can impact how often you should change your filter. Some parts of the country have higher levels of dust in the air than others. If you regularly drive in dry, dusty conditions, you may want to reduce the amount of time between each air filter change. Likewise, if you regularly head off-road with your vehicle, its exposure to more dirt and debris may require a more frequent change of air filters.

Toyota-Certified Service Team

The Red McCombs Toyota service center should be your primary destination if you require reliable auto maintenance near San Antonio, Texas. Our team of auto technicians is Toyota certified, which means they’re familiar with all the features of each Toyota car, SUV, or truck. Our technicians have the knowledge and expertise, and cutting-edge equipment to perform everything from routine maintenance to more complex repair jobs to the high standard you’d expect from a Toyota-approved service center.

If you drop by for an air filter change, one of our technicians can work quickly with our parts department to source a new filter for your vehicle. As part of our service, we can also perform a multi-point inspection of your vehicle to identify other potential problems before they get serious. We can then recommend preventive maintenance to keep your vehicle on the road for longer.

We handle other engine maintenance issues on a regular basis. For example, why not have your engine oil changed at the same time as your filter gets replaced? New engine oil can help your power train run more smoothly and reduces the risk of components getting damaged due to contaminated engine oil. We can also check your fluid levels for your brakes and power steering at the same time.

Whether you require a new air filter for your engine or something else for your car, our well-stocked Toyota parts department is here to help. Our parts center sells only the highest quality OEM parts, which ensures they’re perfectly designed to fit your Toyota Camry, Highlander, or any other vehicle. OEM parts have a big advantage over aftermarket parts, which are designed by third parties for use in a wider range of vehicles.

This option is also useful if you plan on purchasing auto parts to perform the maintenance yourself. By purchasing the parts you install from a Toyota dealership, you can make sure that you’ll receive expertly crafted components capable of performing well.
