“Dealer” refers to service centers that specialize in one or two makes and sell those vehicles. As a franchise dealer:
They use top-quality manufacturer-recommended or “official” parts
Parts usually come with a manufacturer's warranty - ask the dealer about this as details may vary
They have the highest level of training and knowledge, and their labor rates may reflect this
Total Estimate:
Parts
$33 - $40
Labor
$49 - $60
“Independent” refers to a service center that services multiple makes instead of specializing. In addition:
They don't sell vehicles
Because they can use non-official or aftermarket parts, their pricing might seem lower
Independents tend to be generalists with a broad level of knowledge and training on many vehicles
Price includes parts and labor
About Engine Air Filter Replacement
The engine air filter helps trap dirt and debris before it can enter the engine. Typically, you should change the engine air filter every 30,000 to 45,000 miles, but if you’re in a dusty, dirty region, cut these distances in half.
