Save money and do it yourself!
Disclaimer: I know very little about cars but I do know quite a bit about saving money. I went to get my 2008 Honda Civic airbag replaced this past month (for those of you out there who don't know... there is a recall!) and they recommend I replace both my cabin filter and engine air filter. It was going to cost $60 and $40 for cost and labor!! It said it was "critical" red on the paper they gave me (you know they have green, yellow or red). I YouTubed how to replace these two items and it looked so simple. I bought both items on Amazon (same brand) for less than $20!!! For a 26 year old female (completely inexperienced with cars) who spent 10 minutes on YouTube and an extra 10 minutes in installation, I saved over $80!!!
I probably would have had to wait at Honda more than the 20 minutes it took me overall and would have had to pay an extra $80. No thank you!! Just want anyone to know and who has any doubts, if I can do it, you certainly can too!
As far as the quality, I can only really base it on what I see. The durability seems to be the same as the one I had in it before. I will update if I find the need.
