If you own a luxury vehicle, then there was probably a lot of thought that went into your purchase decision. There are many reasons people choose to purchase a luxury or performance vehicle. For the most part, those reasons are obviously related to luxury or performance - but you may have been attracted to your high-end vehicle because it's appealing in other ways as well. Performance and luxury vehicles are less run of the mill as they are typically constructed with more quality and attention to detail, and incorporate the latest available technology. Since our team here at Blue Lakes Auto Repair is in the business of luxury and performance vehicles, here are some things to consider if you find yourself considering a luxury or performance purchase.

When driving around town, your vehicle's engine needs clean air to burn the fuel – and it needs a lot. In fact, a typical vehicle needs about 216,000 gallons of air for every tank of gas. All that air passes through a filter that catches the dust and dirt. Eventually, the filter gets completely full, and because the filter can only hold so much, dirt starts getting through. At Blue Lakes Auto Repair in Twin Falls, we want to help you get the best air quality in your vehicle, but first, we want to explain the process of where this dirty air is going.
