WHAT IS A TUNE-UP?

Having regular maintenance and inspection is extremely important when it comes to the reliability and efficiency in which your vehicle performs. A car tune-up typically consists of replacing viable parts such as spark plugs, cabin air filters, and fuel filters as needed. Also, the technician will perform a detailed inspection of your vehicle's engine as well as analyze its performance to assure your vehicle is kept in optimum shape, as well as safe. The best practice is to always follow the maintenance schedule available in your owner's manual but as a point of reference, older vehicles with non-electric ignition systems should have a tune-up performed every 10,000 to 20,000 miles. Newer vehicles should try to get a tune-up every 30,000 to 100,000 miles.
