Services Included in a Vehicle Tune-Up
Our vehicle tune-up services are designed to thoroughly check your car’s vital components. Depending on the make and model of your vehicle, we perform the following services:
Air Filter Inspection
A clogged or dirty air filter can decrease fuel efficiency and engine performance. Air filter replacements are generally affordable and should be done every 15,000 to 30,000 miles or annually for low-mileage drivers. Our technicians will inspect your air filter during your tune-up and replace it if necessary to help maintain engine efficiency.
Tire Pressure Check
Proper tire pressure is essential for safe handling and optimal fuel economy. Each vehicle has a specific recommended tire pressure, which can be found in your owner’s manual. During the tune-up, we check tire pressure and top it off if necessary. If we find any issues with your tire pressure, we’ll inspect the tires for possible leaks or damage.
Engine Inspection
Your vehicle’s engine is critical to its performance. If it’s not functioning properly, the entire vehicle can be affected. During the tune-up, we visually inspect the engine, air intake hoses, vacuum lines, and spark plugs. We also listen for any unusual sounds and check for oil leaks. If we detect any issues, we will provide a detailed diagnosis and a repair estimate.
Fluid Level Inspection
Keeping your vehicle’s fluids topped off is crucial for smooth operation. During a tune-up, we check essential fluids, including:
- Brake fluid
- Coolant (Antifreeze)
- Power steering fluid
- Transmission fluid
- Windshield washer fluid
Fuel Filter Inspection
Your fuel filter helps ensure clean fuel reaches your engine. Depending on your vehicle and the type of fuel you use, the fuel filter may need replacement at specific intervals. Our technicians inspect your fuel filter during the tune-up and recommend replacement if necessary.
Spark Plug Check/Replacement
Spark plugs should generally be replaced every 80,000 to 100,000 miles. If they are worn or damaged, they can cause poor engine performance or even engine failure. We inspect your spark plugs and recommend replacement if needed, helping you avoid costly repairs down the road.
