All of us in Elgin know we have to get the oil changed in our vehicles periodically. That's just part of good vehicle care. But when Tuffy Auto Service Center Elgin technicians change your oil, they also usually inspect your air filter. That's why they sometimes let you know that your air filter needs to be changed before releasing your vehicle.
