    I have 83,000 miles on my 2008 Prius - no problems at all. Toyota service is telling me I need the following service done: Mass Air Flow Sensor and Throttle Body Service. Can't get an understandable explanation from them as to why I need this. Does anyone know how I can figure out if I really need it?

    I don't recognize those items - Is it recommended in the maintenance book? I'd trust it before what a dealer says, unless you perceive some problem - I've got 109K mi on my '08 - have had zero problems, but I strictly follow Maintenance book. Good Luck!
