Engine Tune-up Services
A good, thorough tune up can be a lifesaver in how well your car runs, saving money on fuel, and prolonging the life of the car. Most experts recommend doing or having a tune up done every year or every 30,000 miles. Scheduling regular in depth tune ups for your car is an excellent way to prolong the life of the car, avoid costly repairs, and ensure the best gas mileage. With gas prices at an all time high, this simple maintenance regime can save you at the pumps.
A tune-up is the process of inspecting and adjusting all of the systems in your vehicle that contribute to fuel combusting efficiently. How do you know when you need a tune-up service? If you keep track of your gas mileage and it worsens by 10% or more, it’s time for a tune-up. Many drivers also seek a tune-up when experiencing any type of driveability problem for their car, truck or SUV. Check your car’s owner manual or come in to your local T&K center to see the recommended interval for tune-ups and/or spark plug replacement for your specific vehicle.
An T&K Tune-up Service includes:
- Installation of new spark plugs, and if so equipped we will perform the following:
idle speed adjustment, set timing as needed, inspect choke, throttle linkage, spark plug wires and distributor cap - Comprehensive performance check to verify that no driveability or computer system trouble codes exist
Plus our 36-point ProtectCheck Inspection to ensure all of your vehicle’s critical systems are in good working order. If you’re like many drivers you may follow the factory maintenance schedule while your car or truck is under warranty but once your warranty expires it’s easy to let proper maintenance slip – just when it’s most critical!
Automotive manufacturers know that a well maintained car, truck or SUV increases owner satisfaction because the vehicle is more dependable and will last longer. That’s why the manufacturer (“factory”) creates detailed maintenance schedules outlining specific operations to be performed on various components and systems. This is done at different mileage intervals to ensure proper operation and prevent premature wear.
Your vehicle’s manufacturer also indicates which services are required to maintain the factory warranty and extended warranty. The experts at T&K know your car like your dealer and can provide the maintenance services you need. We’re here to help you keep your vehicle in warranty or keep track of your maintenance needs long after your car is out of warranty.
