What Does a Car Tune Up Consist Of?
- Spark Plug Replacement: Worn-out spark plugs can lead to rough idling, decreased fuel efficiency, and even engine damage. We'll replace them with fresh, high-quality spark plugs.

- Light & Tire Inspection: We'll check all your car's lights for proper function and ensure your tires have sufficient tread depth and proper inflation.

- Improve fuel efficiency

- Prevent future problems and costly repairs
- Extend the lifespan of your car
How Often to Get a Car Tune Up?
The answer, unfortunately, isn't a one-size-fits-all. It depends on your car's age, mileage, and even your driving habits. Newer vehicles with electronic ignitions might need them every 25,000 to 100,000 miles, while older models might benefit from more frequent checkups around 10,000 to 12,000 miles or annually.
