All of these can be damaging to your wheels and cause your vehicle to have an earlier ... read more

Your vehicle is made up of various components, and each one of these components plays a vital role in the overall performance of your vehicle. Even the smallest parts, from your windshield wipers, ensures you reach your destination safely and smoothly. Two of these vital components are your cabin air filter and engine air filter, but what exactly is the difference between the two?  Your engine air filter is located under your vehicle's hood, usually near the engine's front. Your engine air filter is responsible for keeping small particles and dust out of your engine's intake. Engines work at high speeds under hot temperatures, and even the smallest amount of dust or dirt can wreak havoc on your other major components in your vehicle. Eventually, your engine air filter will need to be cleaned or changed. A clogged engine air filter can lead to decreased performance, increased emission, and poor fuel economy.  The main difference between your cabin air filter and ... read more

California is currently experiencing a record number of wildfires that are wreaking havoc throughout the state. The team at Yorba Linda Auto Service would first like to thank the firefighters working so diligently to keep our communities safe. Next, we hope each one of our customers is safe and well during these troubling times. The effects of the smoke and ash in the air can affect our health. Not only can smoke and ash potentially compromise your health, but it can also negatively impact your vehicle’s performance, precisely the condition of your cabin air filter.  As you drive, individual particles and contaminants try to enter your vehicle through the heating, air-conditioning, and ventilation systems. Your cabin air filter is responsible for making sure the dirt, dust, smoke, smog, pollen, and mold spores don’t enter your cabin.
