Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a tune-up in Highlands Ranch different?
The high altitude in Highlands Ranch means there is less oxygen, which can affect your engine's air-to-fuel mixture and performance. Furthermore, the rapid freeze-thaw cycles and winter road treatments can accelerate wear on belts, hoses, and spark plug wires. Our technicians factor in these local challenges during every service.
How often should I get a tune-up?
The frequency depends on your vehicle's manufacturer, but a major tune-up (including spark plugs) is often recommended every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. We can provide a personalized schedule based on your car and local driving habits.
Will a tune-up help my car pass Colorado's emissions test?
Yes. A key part of a tune-up is ensuring your engine is running efficiently. Replacing old spark plugs and a clogged air filter can significantly reduce emissions, helping your vehicle pass the Air Care Colorado emissions program.
What is the difference between a tune-up and an oil change?
An oil & filter change is a single, vital service. A tune-up is a more comprehensive preventative maintenance service that includes an oil change but also addresses other critical ignition and fuel system components, like spark plugs and filters, to restore overall engine performance.
