🔧 What Is a Tune-Up?
The phrase “tune-up” might seem old-school, but it’s still an essential part of keeping your car in top condition. While modern cars rely on computers to manage most engine operations, a tune-up typically involves replacing and servicing key wear-and-tear components like:
- Spark plugs
- Ignition wires
- Engine air and cabin filters
- Fuel filters
- PCV valves
It also includes important fluid flushes for systems like:
- Brake fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Transmission
- Differential and transfer case services
A tune-up today is often part of 30K, 60K, or 90K factory-scheduled maintenance, which includes thorough inspections to ensure your vehicle is performing optimally.
🚦 Is Your Car Due for a Tune-Up?
If your car exhibits any of the following symptoms, it might be time for a tune-up:
- 🚘 Rough Idling
- 🔑 Hard Starting
- 🏎️ Reduced Power
- ⛽ Poor Fuel Mileage
These issues may not always be solved by a tune-up alone, as they could indicate the need for repairs. Our professional diagnostics can pinpoint the exact cause of poor performance and get your car back to its best.
🕰 Tune-Ups Then and Now
Historical Perspective:
Decades ago, cars needed frequent adjustments—like setting ignition timing, adjusting idle speeds, or replacing carburetor components. Cars required tune-ups every 10,000 miles or so!
Modern Tune-Ups:
Today, vehicles are more reliable thanks to advancements like:
- Electronic ignition systems
- Fuel injection
- Platinum-tipped spark plugs
These technologies allow cars to go tens of thousands of miles before requiring tune-ups. Most modern manufacturers recommend tune-ups at 60,000 miles for optimal performance and longevity.
