People often overlook the importance of replacing their car’s air filter, but that doesn’t mean it’s not an integral part of proper vehicle care and maintenance. If you can’t remember the last time you got this essential component swapped, it might be a good time to swing into Toyota of Des Moines’ service center and have one of our excellent service specialists take a look. We proudly display our customer’s testimonials about our service on our website, so check it out and see if we’re the place for you!
Importance of Clean Air Filters
Your engine’s air filter is designed to prevent damaging debris from entering the radiator, engine, fuel lines, and anywhere air and fluid flows. This debris naturally builds up overtime and begins to starve the engine of air, which can lead to decreased performance and damage to internal components. A working air filter allows your engine to receive clean air, free from airborne debris such as dust, pollen, and dirt. With a clean air filter, your vehicle performs much better and can even get a boost to overall fuel efficiency!
Signs of Dirty Air Filters
There are several signs to look out for that indicate the time might be now to replace your filter. As noted above, a drop in fuel efficiency could be a warning that the air filter is in poor condition. Because a dirty filter limits the amount of oxygen your engine receives, you might also notice that your car has more trouble starting than it used to. Worse yet, insufficient air supply can lead to some of the fuel not burning and eventually exiting through the exhaust pipe in the form of billowing black smoke or even flames. If you’re unsure of the signs, a good rule of thumb is to replace your filters every 15,000 to 30,000 miles dependent on the road conditions you drive in. Someone who drives in conditions with more particulates in the air, such as on unpaved roads, will want to change their filters more regularly, while someone who drives in good conditions can hold off a little longer.

Had my car towed to Toyota on a Monday.
“ Had my car towed to Toyota on a Monday. I had Tuesday off from work - waiting for a call all day. I finally called at 4:30 pm car still not looked at was told next appointment opening was next Monday!? So I have no car and I needed to get to work and expecting a grandbaby any day! Thursday I finally get a call with what needs to be done which was a lot for a 2004 car. Had Friday off so I was planning to figure things out the next day? No one told me it was drivable (which it was) so I'm thinking probably need to get a new car?? I had to work till 9 pm on Thursday (had to find a ride) and grandbaby on the way (had to find a ride to the hospital) spent all night at the hospital and all day Friday. Called Toyota to plead for a loaner so I could get to work and be mobile the answer was "no" if you are trying to sell cars that is not the way to do it! So I rented a car because I needed to get to work Saturday, Sunday, and Monday 300 dollars and I owe Toyota 500 for just looking at the car! I had Tuesday off so I called Monday to see what needed to be fixed to make it drivable so I could get it home or to another dealership! That's when they told me it was drivable!?!? Seriously!! That would of been nice to know 4 days ago!! Only help I got was a ride to Toyota to pay my bill! I told them, when paying my bill, that it would of been nice to know my car was drivable because I rented a car! No "I'm sorry" nothing! ”
