If you fail to upkeep your vehicle, the air in your car will become unhealthy to breathe in and could make you and your passenger ill.    How often should I clean my ventilator? The standard in the industry is to get a cleaning every year and a half, or 15,000 miles, whichever comes first. It depends on how long your cabin filter lasts before it becomes too dirty to do its job.

As we talked about in last week's blog post, a lot of people are getting back on the road this summer. Life is starting to return back to normal with people taking road trips or just returning to their offices. You may not have not driven much in the past year, but that also means you may not have done much maintenance to your vehicle(s).
