Where Can I Get Interior Air Filters For Cheaper Than Honda??? Cause I Think I'm Due For A New One!

I think it is time to replace my interior air filters. Why, because the inside of my car smells whenever I have the air on. I take really good care of my car and the interior, but it still smells. Does this happen to anyone else? I have just under 30K on my car. does that seem to early to be replacing a pair of $50 dollar filters? It does to me. Anyone Know a better place to buy these because honda seems overpriced. Is there a place online?

Thanks,

Brandon

Davey D is right about which site to go to, HandA is awsome! I've ordered many thing though them over the web and found them to have the best prices anywhere. I ordered 5 oil filters and 5 washers, car cover, air filters, and the fog lights. Never had a problem ever[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

He's talking about the pollen filter, not the engine air filter. Pollen filter should be replaced at around 30k miles according to our manuals.

Where are these filters located? I think I'm going to check mine out and see what they look like.

They are behind your glove box. Pop off the clips, and than there is a cover that pops off, and there are 2 of them, The first one pulls out, and than the other one slides to the left and that one pops off too. I think there is a better explanation in the manual.

I ordered cabin filters from HandA also. They ended up sending me only one filter! So , I e-mailed them and they sent me the second with UPS 2nd day air. They were long over-due - car was at 58,000 miles! But at 30,000 I had taken the filters out blew them out with high pressure air - there was no way that I was going to pay $50 for a couple of filters.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG] Probably costs Honda $1.50 to make them. I ordered some oil filters also. My local dealer was selling filters for 4.50 for a long time then they decided that had to be the typical Honda crooks and jacked them up by a few bucks.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

Colorado Springs has a store called Parts America. I got cabin filters for ~ $12 each. I suggest making phone calls in your neighborhood. I lucked out and found these much cheaper than the typical $20 - $25 I found at other stores.

Those filters from HANDAACCESSORIES.COM are not OEM style...they are cheap knock-offs...they are cheaply made and don't have the same filtering characteristics as the OEM (you will have to change them more often)...

I actually just bought two sets last night and told the parts guy to match or come close to the price of the internet site above...he did the best that he could for me and I got the two sets for $60.00 plus tax...even though it is more than what is advertised on the site...they are OEM and instock with no shipping charges or waiting

BTW...the OEM style filters from Honda dealership were made by a company called MICRON-AIR and the knock-off's were made from a company called MICRON...







DID YOU NOTICE HOW THE FILTERS ON THAT SITE DONT ACTUALLY HAVE PART NUMBERS BUT OTHER PRODUCTS DO HAVE PART NUMBERS...
