What’s Included in a Tune-Up?
A tune-up is an in-depth service covering several critical components. The specific parts and services vary by your vehicle’s make, model, and mileage, but a tune-up at Christian Brothers Automotive Ahwatukee typically includes:
- Spark Plugs: Spark plugs ignite the fuel-air mixture in your engine’s combustion chambers. Old or fouled plugs can cause misfires, reduced fuel economy, and loss of power.
- Air Filters: A clogged air filter can restrict airflow and hurt engine performance and fuel efficiency. We inspect and replace filters as needed.
- Fuel System: We inspect and clean the fuel system, including the fuel filter, to help keep clean fuel flowing to your engine.
- Fluid Checks: We inspect and top off or replace essential fluids, including engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, and brake fluid.
- Belts and Hoses: We check all belts and hoses for cracks, fraying, or leaks. A failing belt or hose can leave you stranded.
- Ignition System: We inspect the ignition coils and wires to confirm spark plugs are receiving the correct voltage.
- Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI): Every visit includes a complimentary DVI. Our technicians send you a text with photos and videos of their findings so you can see exactly what was found before approving any work.
