This expensive sensor is situated between your engine air filter and your engine. Dirty air filters are a leading cause of mass air flow sensor failure – and these babies can cost several hundred dollars to replace in Lockport.

Change your vehicle air filter at Tuffy Tire & Auto Service Center Lockport when it's dirty. Your vehicle engine will thank you.
