We then check the intake housing for cracks, loose fasteners, or alignment issues, followed by a visual MAF sensor inspection to spot contamination or harness damage. Only OEM-spec filters are installed for fit and filtration consistency. Before you arrive, review current service specials and then schedule service to lock in a convenient time.
