Tune-Up & Engine Performance
"Tune-up" means something different on a modern car than it did decades ago. Today it usually means replacing spark plugs and filters on schedule and checking the systems that affect performance and fuel economy. We base our recommendations on your vehicle's maintenance schedule and its symptoms.
Common signs & symptoms
- Rough idle or stalling
- Hesitation when accelerating
- Hard starting
- Fuel economy has dropped
- Misfire codes or a check engine light
How we handle it
We look up your manufacturer's schedule, inspect spark plugs, ignition components and filters, check for codes and evaluate how the engine is running. Then we recommend what is due, and only what is due.
Good to know
Many newer cars have long spark plug intervals. If someone recommends plugs at every oil change, ask why.
