Both filters are small investments that yield immediate and long-term savings by preserving system performance and lowering repair risk. At Larry H. Miller Volkswagen Avondale, our technicians inspect both filters during routine service, recommend OEM replacements when necessary, and apply transparent pricing that often costs less than independent alternatives when total ownership value is considered.
