broken valve stem need help

I don't know if someone broke it or if it blew up, but it is not there anymore and neither is the air in my tire. Will the air ki t do me any good with a missing valve stem? Do I have to go to mazda to get it fixed considering the tire pressure monitering system or can I go to discount tire. All help is appreciated!!

Yup! Unfortunatelythe air kit will not help. And you will need one of them $100 TPMS monitors for the wheel because it has the stem built on! That sucks. Does it look like you maybe curbed it or something?

Car wash incident

I had a long stem valve cover that looked like a bullet. The problem with them is wend I took it to the car wash. The railing system hit the long valve stem and snapped it right off. I had to take it to the dealership to order an other. It took 3 business days. It cost me over $115.00 to replace. Good Luck!
