I brought my BMW X3 in for a TPMS malfunction and was fully expecting a costly repair. To my surprise, the shop was able to work my vehicle into their schedule quickly and diagnosed the issue as simple tire pressure discrepancies. They inflated the tires to the correct PSI, let the sensors relearn, and that cleared the malfunction. Best of all- they didn't charge me for diagnosing and fixing the issue. It's rare to find honest, knowledgeable, and customer focused service like this. I highly recommend shop for any of your vehicle needs. Truly top-notch experience.

If your car has climate control, then it also has a cabin filter. Cabin filters are simply air filters for the interior of your car, truck, or SUV. All air entering circulation through the climate control system first passes through this filter, to prevent your AC or heat systems from accumulating debris or blowing them out of your vents. The result is cleaner, quieter, and longer-lasting climate control systems, which keep the inside of your car as comfortable as possible.
