All of us in Fort Wayne know we have to get the oil changed in our vehicles periodically. That's just part of good vehicle care. But when Tuffy Fort Wayne - Coldwater 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 Wayne area drivers really do need to change their air filter when it gets dirty.
