Common Signs Your Vehicle Needs a Tune-Up

Regular tune-ups are crucial for keeping your vehicle running smoothly. Neglecting them can lead to decreased performance, increased emissions, and potential breakdowns.

Frequently Asked Questions


How Often Should I Get an Oil Change?

Oil changes are generally recommended every 3,000 to 5,000 miles, depending on your vehicle's make and model, as well as driving conditions. Our technicians at Christian Brothers Automotive Kingwood can help you determine the best oil change schedule for your specific needs. For those who frequently drive in Texas heat or traffic, more frequent changes might be advisable to maintain engine efficiency and longevity.

What Are the Common Signs My Vehicle Needs Maintenance?

Be alert for warning lights, unusual noises, poor performance, or irregular braking. If you notice any changes, it’s essential to have your vehicle assessed promptly to prevent further damage. Other signs to watch for include steering difficulties, unusual vehicle vibrations, or excessive exhaust smoke, all of which could indicate an underlying issue that needs professional attention.

Why Is Tire Rotation Important?

Rotating your tires helps ensure even wear, which extends their lifespan and provides safe handling. Regular tire rotations every 6,000 to 8,000 miles are generally recommended for optimal performance. Uneven tire wear can affect your vehicle's stability and fuel efficiency, which is why periodic rotations are an essential part of maintaining your vehicle’s overall health.

What Should I Do If My Check Engine Light Comes On?

While it might not always indicate a serious issue, it’s important to have it checked by a professional mechanic to prevent potential damage. Stop by our Kingwood location when you notice this light. We use advanced diagnostic tools to uncover the exact cause, offering a precise solution tailored to your vehicle’s needs, ensuring you’re back on the road with confidence.
