Did you know that a sneeze at 60mph can render a driver blind for 30m? That sneeze could be a sign that the cabin air filter needs replacing. Comline Auto Parts (Comline) is urging your trade customers to replace a cabin air filter during routine servicing to ensure they give their customers the best and healthiest service.
Technicians should know the importance of a cabin air filter; it protects the inhabitants of the vehicle from harmful contaminants, but, unfortunately, it can be overlooked during a service.
Allergens, odours, dust mites, pollen, toxic fumes and dirt are all potential, nasty threats – just 1m3 of air contains 10-80 billion particles, according to Comline, many of which are contaminants – but the brand can help stop, prevent and protect against airborne pollutants with its range of cabin air filters.
Comline prefers activated carbon cabin air filters; these offer “outstanding protection” thanks to an additional layer of media within the part. These remove micro-contaminants, typically toxic gases, like Benzine or Ozone, and filter out unpleasant smells to keep the cabin fresh.
Count on Comline!
Comline continues to be a trusted member of the International Filter Testing Services (IFTS), a renowned filtration testing organisation.
Since its acceptance in late 2017, the IFTS has been able to microscopically scrutinise Comline’s filters, resulting in recommendations in how the brand can improve the anatomy of its components – that includes the entire filtration portfolio and not solely cabin air filters – and that has complemented its own in-house quality control processes too.
What’s more, Comline said the accuracy of its data can be relied on too; it is a certified data supplier on TecDoc, which means both you and technicians can depend on the product specification, guaranteeing an accurate first time fit.
Continuous category development
Like its ever-growing steering and suspension portfolio, Comline is continuing apace with its growth in the filtration sector; the brand said its product team remain committed to carefully filling gaps in the market where demand is clear.
