Signs You Need a Car Tune-Up
Vehicles often signal when they need attention before a complete breakdown occurs. Recognizing these early warning signs can determine if it is time to schedule a car tune-up in Grayson. If your daily drive feels different, or if your fuel economy has dropped, a professional automotive tune-up service can restore your vehicle's power and efficiency.
Watch for these common indicators that your engine needs attention:
- Rough Idling or Stalling: If your engine shakes or stalls while stopped at a light, your spark plugs or idle controls may be dirty or worn.
- Difficulty Starting: Struggling to turn over, especially on cold mornings, often points to a weak battery or failing ignition components.
- Reduced Fuel Economy: A noticeable drop in gas mileage suggests your engine is working harder than necessary due to clogged filters or old parts.
