TUNE-UP

A tune-up is a preventative maintenance service that involves inspecting, cleaning, and replacing key components of your vehicle's engine to ensure it runs smoothly and efficiently. It typically includes replacing spark plugs, inspecting and replacing filters (air, fuel, and PCV), checking and adjusting ignition timing and idle speed, and inspecting the ignition system, fuel system, and emissions system. Tune-ups are important for maintaining optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions levels. They are usually recommended every 30,000 to 100,000 miles (48,000 to 160,000 kilometers), depending on your vehicle and driving conditions.
