Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Mechanical Edge in Robe today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Mechanical Edge in Robe we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

Summer is here and that means it’s the perfect time to plan a road trip. Whether you’re heading out for a short getaway or a grand adventure across South Australia, ensuring your car is in top condition is an absolute must. At Mechanical Edge in Robe, we’re here to help you prepare for your journey by offering professional log book servicing or at the very least, a thorough safety inspection. Not only does this give you peace of mind, but it also keeps your car running smoothly, saving you from any unpleasant surprises along the way.

When it comes to road trips, your car becomes your most important travel companion. Ignoring regular maintenance could lead to breakdowns, expensive repairs, or even safety risks while on the road. A log book service follows the manufacturer’s guidelines to keep your vehicle performing its best, and a safety inspection ensures that all critical systems are functioning properly before you hit the road. At Mechanical Edge, we understand the importance of a reliable and safe vehicle, and our team of experts is dedicated to making sure your car is road-ready.

Why Is Log Book Servicing or a Safety Inspection Essential?

Whether you opt for a full log book service or a comprehensive safety inspection, there are seven key areas of your car that need attention before you set off:

7 Critical Areas to Check Before Your Summer Road Trip

   Faulty brakes are a serious safety concern, especially when travelling long distances. Our team will inspect your brake pads, discs, and fluid levels to ensure they’re in optimal condition for stopping power you can trust.

   Tyres are your car’s connection to the road. We’ll check for proper inflation, tread depth, and any signs of wear or damage. Don’t forget, the spare tyre needs checking too!

   From engine oil and coolant to brake and transmission fluids, every fluid plays a vital role in your car’s performance. Ensuring these are topped up or replaced is key to avoiding overheating or mechanical failure.

   A flat battery can quickly put the brakes on your holiday plans. Our safety inspection includes testing your battery’s health and ensuring it’s securely mounted.

   Visibility and signalling are crucial for safe driving. We’ll inspect all headlights, brake lights, and indicators to ensure they’re functioning as they should.

   Smooth handling is a must for a comfortable and safe journey. We’ll evaluate your steering and suspension components to ensure everything is in good working order.

   Don’t overlook the importance of clear visibility. We’ll check your wiper blades and washer fluid to make sure your windscreen stays clean, even in unexpected weather.

If you’re visiting Robe as part of your road trip, you’re in for a treat. This charming seaside town in South Australia offers a wealth of activities for all ages. You can unwind on the beautiful beaches, take a stroll through the picturesque Robe Marina, or immerse yourself in the history of the area by visiting the Cape Dombey Obelisk. For foodies, the local cafés and seafood restaurants are a must-visit, offering some of the freshest produce in the region. Whether you’re into outdoor adventures or simply looking to relax by the coast, Robe is the perfect destination to recharge and make lasting memories.
