As Memorial Day is approaching, we want to take this opportunity to recognize those who have fought for our country. Their sacrifice keeps us safe and here at B&D Automotive we would like to share our appreciation this Memorial Day.

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.

Your vehicle's engine needs clean air to burn the fuel – and it needs a lot of clean air. In fact, a typical vehicle needs about 216,000 gallons of air for every tank of gas. All that air passes through a filter that catches the dust and dirt. Eventually, the filter gets completely full, and because the filter can only hold so much, dirt starts getting through. At B&D Automotive in Robertsdale, we ensure you get the best air quality in your vehicle and explain the process of where this dirty air is going to our area drivers.
