Tune-ups PDF Print E-mail
A proper and routine tune-up allows your engine to work hand-in-hand with the rest of your car's powertrain. This is how optimum car performance is achieved.


WHY DO I NEED THIS SERVICE

A well-tuned engine delivers the best balance of power and fuel economy and produces the lowest level of emissions. Modern engines compensate for worn parts to a degree, giving you the sense that everything is fine with your car. A routine tune-up will restore your car to its normal operating state, and contribute to the overall efficency of the engine and emissions system.

TYPICAL SERVICE

  • Based on spark plug type, the replacement interval can range from 30,000 to 100,000 miles.
  • Replace any other ignition system and/or emissions system parts that may be needed or recommended.
  • Replace the fuel and air filters.
  • Adjust ignition timing and idle speeds (if applicable).
  • Ensure the onboard computer control system is working properly.

QUESTIONS TO ASK

  • How often does my car need a tune-up?
  • Are there other services that need to be performed at this time?
  • How does this work address my complaint?
  • If the "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon" light comes on, is it the same as saying it's time for a tune-up?
