Let's talk about air quality in Kentwood. It's a global issue, but affects us wherever we are. Many decades ago, Kentwood drivers began to become aware of how air pollution negatively affects health. But what about the air inside your vehicle?
Now, it's only been in the last few years that cabin air filters have become common in Kentwood. You can look in your owner's manual to see if you have one.
