Just went in for an oil change at a chain automotive store. Asked how long it would take, they said 1 hour. I said sure, since I knew we would go get lunch in the meantime.
Wife and 11 month old in tow.
When we come back, they have our cabin air filter on the counter (to show us how bad it is).
Do they normally check the cabin air filter during an oil change?
Reason I ask is, apparently to replace it they said they have to go through the glove compartment. I'm not knowledgeable enough with cars to know if they could "see" it needed to be replaced when the hood went up, or if they had to go through the glove compartment to find out.
Anyway, it just seems odd that during a routine oil filter they would go through the effort of taking the cabin air filter out and putting it on the counter.
Thoughts?
