How Much Does a Mass Airflow (MAF) Sensor Cost?

The set-price myth

There is no honest set price for a mass airflow sensor replacement — and anyone quoting one sight-unseen is guessing with your money. On this job the figure genuinely moves with cleaning versus replacement — the clean sometimes wins; genuine versus quality-aftermarket sensor pricing; and whether the real fault is an air leak downstream. So we don’t guess: we find the actual cause first — our $374 incl. GST pre-paid diagnostic, a reserved two-hour booking with a written report, not a free quote, then you get a fixed written price for your car before any work starts. The written figure is the only number that binds anyone — hold every workshop to that standard, including us.

What drives the cost

MAF-sensor cost is driven mostly by the part (European sensors cost more) — the labour is usually modest as it’s accessible. Sometimes a clean fixes it without a new part; confirming it’s the MAF (not another fault) comes first.

It’s usually one of the cheaper sensor replacements.

What the job involves

We read live MAF data to confirm the fault, clean or replace the sensor with a quality part, and verify the readings are correct afterwards.

You get a fixed written quote once we’ve confirmed the diagnosis.

A fixed written price before any work

The honest answer to “how much?” depends on your exact car, parts and condition — so we inspect first, then give you a fixed written quote before we touch anything. No surprises, no scare tactics.
