Tune-Ups and Maintenance

Spark plug replacement: Worn spark plugs can cause misfires, poor fuel economy, and sluggish acceleration. A tune-up includes inspecting and, if necessary, replacing them.
Air and fuel filter replacement: Dirty filters restrict the flow of air and fuel to the engine, which reduces power and efficiency. Replacing them helps the engine "breathe" better.
Ignition system check: The ignition coils and wires are inspected for wear, corrosion, and proper function to prevent engine misfires and rough idling.
Throttle body cleaning: Carbon buildup around the throttle body can cause idle fluctuations. Cleaning it improves airflow and ensures smoother acceleration.
Fuel system cleaning: A technician may clean the fuel injectors to remove carbon buildup, which helps maintain smooth fuel delivery.
Diagnostic scanning: Modern vehicles are connected to a diagnostic computer that reads error codes and identifies underlying issues.
Fluid and hose inspection: Mechanics inspect and top off essential fluids like oil, coolant, and brake fluid. They also check for cracks and wear on belts and hoses.

Regular tune-ups provide several important benefits for your vehicle:

Improved performance: By replacing worn parts, a tune-up can restore an engine's power and responsiveness for a smoother driving experience.
Enhanced fuel efficiency: An efficient engine burns less fuel. Replacing clogged filters and old spark plugs can lead to better gas mileage.
Increased reliability: Tune-ups are a form of preventive maintenance that identifies minor issues before they become major problems, helping to prevent unexpected breakdowns.
Reduced emissions: By ensuring the engine runs efficiently, a tune-up can help reduce your vehicle's carbon emissions.
