Hey, here’s a fun fact: you can replace your own air filters in your car.

Seriously, you can. Anybody can. I know NOTHING about cars, and I do it.

Just look up what kind of filter your make and model needs, order it, then pull up a YouTube tutorial.

The filters are cheap and the replacement takes a few minutes with no special tools needed.

Plus, it’ll save you the embarrassment of things like the horrors of this video from TikTok user @kode7813:

“Yeah, hi,” he begins, imitating the voice of the customer who’d called before bringing in this car.

“I was just wondering, do you guys change cabin air filters?”

“Uh, yeah, not on this ******* cesspool.”
