• Hare Honda uses OEM filters and documents replacements, delivering transparency and warranty-friendly service. Ask about our service specials when you schedule service.

What are signs of a bad air filter?

• Reduced acceleration, decreased fuel economy, unusual engine sounds, or noticeable dust inside the cabin can indicate a clogged engine or cabin filter.
