All of us in Fort Mill know we have to get the oil changed in our vehicles periodically. That's just part of good vehicle care. But when Tuffy Charlotte Metro 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. Fort Mill area drivers really do need to change their air filter when it gets dirty. You can check your owner's manual to see how often your air filter should need to be changed, but remember, if you live in an area in SC with poor air quality, or if you drive a lot or drive under harsh conditions in the Fort Mill area, you may need to change that filter more often than is recommended.
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 Charlotte Metro. But the problems they cause if Fort Mill auto owners don't change them can get to be.

When you're driving and turn a corner, you probably aren't aware of all that's going on with your wheels. The outside wheels have a longer distance to travel than the inside wheels, so there are gears that allow the wheels to go at different speeds when you turn. That set of gears is called a d... More
