Is your check engine light on, or is your dashboard alerting you to a tire pressure issue? Modern vehicles rely on a complex network of electronic sensors to monitor everything from fuel efficiency to safety.

Our Comprehensive Automotive Sensor Services

As a trusted NAPA Auto Care center, our ASE-certified technicians have the advanced diagnostic tools required to identify exactly which sensor is malfunctioning and replace it using premium-quality parts. We service all major makes and models, specializing in:


1. Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensors

If your tire pressure warning light stays illuminated even after you’ve aired up your tires, you likely have a failing TPMS sensor. These small, battery-powered sensors inside your wheels eventually wear out. We replace faulty TPMS sensors and reprogram them so your vehicle can accurately track your tire safety.


2. Oxygen (O2) & Air-Fuel Ratio Sensors

Your oxygen sensors measure the unburned oxygen in your exhaust system to optimize your engine's air-fuel mixture. A bad O2 sensor can drop your fuel economy by up to 40% and cause your vehicle to fail North Carolina state emissions inspections.


3. Mass Airflow (MAF) & Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensors

These sensors measure the amount of air entering the engine. If they are dirty or failing, you may experience sluggish acceleration, rough idling, engine stalling, or poor fuel efficiency.


4. Engine Position Sensors (Camshaft & Crankshaft)

Your vehicle’s computer relies on these sensors to control fuel injection and ignition timing. A faulty camshaft or crankshaft sensor can cause severe engine misfires or cause your car to not start at all.


5. ABS Wheel Speed Sensors

Part of your vehicle's critical safety system, these sensors track wheel speed to prevent your brakes from locking up during sudden stops. A broken ABS sensor will typically disable your traction control and anti-lock braking systems.
