Services Included in a Vehicle Tune-Up
Our vehicle tune-up services cover all essential parts of your vehicle. Depending on your car’s make and model, we perform a range of checks to ensure everything is in good working order:
Air Filter Inspection
A dirty or clogged air filter can reduce fuel efficiency and engine performance. Replacing your filter is a simple and affordable fix. Manufacturers usually recommend changing your air filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, or annually for those who drive fewer miles. We inspect your air filter during your tune-up and replace it if necessary.
Tire Pressure Check
Proper tire pressure is essential for safety and fuel efficiency. Each vehicle has a recommended tire pressure, which you can find in your owner’s manual. We check your tire pressure during your tune-up and top it up if necessary. If there’s a discrepancy, we investigate further for potential leaks or tire damage.
Engine Inspection
Your engine is the heart of your vehicle, and we inspect it thoroughly during your tune-up. Our technicians check the condition of intake hoses, vacuum lines, and spark plug wires. We listen for unusual noises and check for oil leaks, ensuring that everything is functioning properly. If we find any issues, we provide a detailed report and an estimate for repairs.
Fluid Inspection
Fluids are critical to your vehicle’s performance, so we make sure they’re at the proper levels during your tune-up. The fluids we check include:
- Brake fluid
- Coolant (Antifreeze)
- Power steering fluid
- Transmission fluid
- Windshield washer fluid
Keeping these fluids topped off helps prevent wear and tear on your vehicle.
Fuel Filter Inspection
The fuel filter keeps debris out of your engine, and its replacement schedule depends on your vehicle’s specifications and fuel quality. We inspect the fuel filter during every tune-up and suggest replacement if necessary to keep your engine running smoothly.
Spark Plug Check/Replacement
Spark plugs play a crucial role in your vehicle’s ignition system. Most vehicles require spark plug replacement every 80,000 to 100,000 miles. If the spark plugs are worn or damaged, it can lead to engine issues. Our technicians will inspect your spark plugs and replace them as needed.
