What's Included in a Tune-Up?
A tune-up is an in-depth service that involves checking and often replacing several critical components. While the specific parts and services can vary depending on your vehicle's make, model, and mileage, a general tune-up at Christian Brothers Automotive Ahwatukee often includes the following:
- Spark Plugs: These are vital for igniting the fuel-air mixture in your engine's combustion chambers. Old or fouled spark plugs can lead to misfires, poor fuel economy, and a loss of power.
- Air Filters: A clean air filter is essential for proper engine function. A clogged filter can restrict airflow, reducing engine performance and fuel efficiency.
- Fuel System: We inspect and clean the fuel system, including the fuel filter, to ensure a steady supply of clean fuel to your engine. This is crucial for maintaining optimal performance.
- Fluid Checks: We inspect and top off or replace essential fluids, such as engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, and brake fluid. These fluids lubricate, cool, and protect the various systems of your car.
- Belts and Hoses: We examine all belts and hoses for signs of wear and tear, such as cracks, fraying, or leaks. A failing belt or hose can lead to a breakdown.
- Ignition System: We check the ignition system, including the ignition coils and wires, to ensure the spark plugs are receiving the correct voltage.
