What Does an Auto Tune-Up Include?
A modern tune-up involves testing, inspecting, and replacing critical ignition and fuel system components to optimize engine performance. Every vehicle is different, but our comprehensive auto tune up service is designed to address the maintenance needs of your make and model.
Depending on your vehicle’s mileage, a standard tune-up often includes:
- Spark Plug Replacement: Swapping out old, fouled plugs for new, OEM-quality spark plugs to ensure a strong, clean ignition spark.
- Ignition System Inspection: Testing ignition coils, wires, and distributor caps for optimal voltage delivery.
- Filter Replacements: Checking and replacing dirty engine air filters and fuel filters.
- Fuel System Checks: Evaluating throttle body cleanliness and fuel injector performance.
What Are the Signs My Car Needs a Tune-Up?
Most modern vehicles require a major tune-up every 60,000 to 100,000 miles, while older vehicles may need them closer to every 30,000 miles. Driving with worn ignition components can damage your catalytic converter and lead to much more expensive repairs.
You should schedule a diagnostic inspection if you notice any of these warning signs:
- Engine Misfires or Hesitation: The vehicle jerks or sputters when accelerating.
- Rough Idling: The engine shakes or feels unstable when stopped at a red light.
- Poor Fuel Economy: A sudden, noticeable drop in your miles per gallon (MPG).
- Hard Starting: The engine struggles to turn over when you turn the key.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can a tune-up fix my check engine light?
If your check engine light was triggered by an ignition misfire, a faulty spark plug, or a bad ignition coil, a tune-up will likely fix the issue. Our technicians perform a complete diagnostic scan to determine what’s triggering the warning light.
How long does a tune-up take?
Most tune-ups can be completed in a few hours. However, service time depends on your vehicle’s engine design, as some V6 and V8 engines require the intake manifold to be removed before the spark plugs can be accessed.
Does a tune-up actually improve gas mileage?
Yes. Replacing worn spark plugs, installing clean air filters, and keeping the fuel system operating properly can improve combustion and help increase fuel efficiency.
