    When driving around town, your vehicle's engine needs clean air to burn the fuel – and it needs a lot.

Eventually, the filter gets completely full, and because the filter can only hold so much, dirt starts getting through. At Lee's Brake, Muffler, & Tire Service in Sandersville, 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.
