Tune-Up Service & Engine Repair
A MECHANICAL MELODY.
Getting a regular tune-up is essential. It helps your vehicle stay in peak condition, keeps a pulse on any ongoing issues, and diagnoses new problems that may arise. Your car may show specific symptoms to indicate a tune-up is needed, but sometimes it will show no signs at all until it merely breaks down.
Having tune-ups performed routinely will help to ensure your vehicle continues to run smoothly. While it varies by manufacturer, it's typically recommended to have a tune-up completed every two years to check your car's all-around performance and identify areas that can be optimized or enhanced.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs A Tune-Up
Unusual sounds – If you hear knocking, clunking, squealing, or any sound you're not used to hearing while your vehicle runs, this is likely a cry for help!
Poor gas mileage – When your car isn't burning fuel at the rate it should, this results in decreased fuel efficiency and can often indicate problems with your spark plugs or fuel injectors. A tune-up can resolve these issues to eliminate unnecessary gas-guzzling.
Difficulty starting – Having trouble cranking up your car? This can be the result of several different issues, including battery or starter issues, but our technicians can diagnose the cause. Just don't ignore it!
Engine stalling – If your vehicle stalls while it's running, this might point to faulty spark plugs, clogged fuel injectors, or other problems under the hood.
Manufacturer recommendations – Even if your car shows no signs of trouble, performing regular tune-ups can prevent symptoms before they occur and prolong your car's life.
