FAQs

  • Q. "How often should I change my air filter?"
    Most of the time you want to refer to your manufacturer’s recommendation. And when you look at the service schedule of most manufacturers, it’s every 5 to 7,000 miles. We recommend that you have it checked at every oil change interval and your service technician will advise you on whether a replacement is needed or not.
  • Q. "Does a clogged or dirty air filter affect your A/C or your fuel mileage?"
    Typically we don’t see concerns with your AC with a clogged air filter, but it will in fact affect your fuel mileage. A clogged air filter can actually affect your fuel mileage up to three to four miles per gallon. So you want to make sure that you’re having your air filter checked and serviced, at least every other oil change.
  • Q. "What does your air filter do?"
    Your engine air filter works to keep any contaminants out of your engine. If your air filters are not regularly replaced, you could start to see a decrease in your engine's performance.
  • Q. "Do you offer a warranty?"
    As part of our Nice difference.® commitment to providing our customers the best auto service experience possible, we also offer a3-year/36,000-mile warranty on all the work that we do. We offer this warranty at every Christian Brothers Automotive nationwide, and it will be honored at any location, regardless of which branch did the initial work.
  • Q. "Can you provide service under my extended warranty?"
    Yes. At Christian Brothers Automotive, we work with all major extended warranty providers to make needed repairs for our customers. If you have an extended warranty, you can discuss your carrier with our team when scheduling an appointment and confirm that the work will be covered. You can find a partial list of the extended warranty companies we work with here.
  • Q. "What is a Digital Vehicle Inspection?"
    With a complimentary Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) on every visit, you’ll see firsthand photos of your vehicle from under the hood. We’ll let you know if everything is functioning properly or if there are any areas of concern. You can even approve or deny our service recommendations, all straight from your smartphone, or you can, of course, give us a call and we’ll explain our findings in further detail.
