Induction Service

Folks -
So I was told at some point I needed to have "induction service" performed on my car. What exactly is it, is it worth it, and what would be reasonable to pay for it? I'm going in Saturday morning for my first set of brakes and thought about having them do it then if it's something worth doing. Thanks everyone!!

Lol, "Induction Service" is a first. Perhaps they meant intake, as in air filters. How many miles you got on her?

They are probably talking about the variable "runner" & "swirl flap" system. Because the fuel can't get there to keep things clean & the captive crankcase ventilation things get badly goo'ed up in there as mileage rises.
