What to Expect with a Tune-Up
From the moment you schedule to the moment you drive away, our process is built around transparency and your control over what gets done:
- Step 1: Schedule Your Appointment online or by phone. Describe what your vehicle is experiencing so we can prepare the right service approach before you arrive.
- Step 2: Diagnostics and Inspections begin when you drop off your vehicle. Our ASE-certified technicians perform a complete inspection and diagnostics using manufacturer-equivalent equipment.
- Step 3: Review and Approval of your Digital Vehicle Inspection Report and Estimate. A service advisor walks through every finding with you through photos, videos, text, and phone discussion. You approve or decline each service before we begin work.
Work Performed or Scheduled: Approved work is completed or scheduled based on your decision. We perform a final quality check before returning your vehicle.
1. Schedule Your Appointment
Whether scheduling online or over the phone be sure and let us know what you're experiencing so we can provide fast and accurate service advice.
2. Diagnostics and Inspections
Drop off your vehicle and the shop will get to work with inspections and diagnostics using the same equipment as the manufacturers to determine issues and next steps.
3. Digital Vehicle Inspection Report and Estimate
Following the diagnosis we will text you a digital vehicle inspection report, containing pictures and videos of our findings and recommendations.
4. Review and Approval
A service advisor will reach out to walk you through the findings and recommendations to determine how you would like to proceed, or you can approve work directly in your DVI.
5. Work Performed or Scheduled
Most work can be completed immediately, or scheduled based on parts and customer availability.
Built for El Paso County Driving
Monument drivers often rely on their vehicles for daily I-25 commutes, school transportation, mountain trips, and family hauling. Those driving demands are useful context when discussing your vehicle’s manufacturer maintenance schedule with our technicians.
Christian Brothers Automotive Monument serves drivers throughout El Paso County. We can review your vehicle’s condition, maintenance history, and manufacturer recommendations to help you understand the services being considered.
Following the Manufacturer’s Schedule
Every vehicle comes with a manufacturer’s maintenance schedule, found in your owner’s manual, that specifies what services are needed based on mileage, time, and driving conditions. Staying current on that schedule can help identify developing maintenance concerns before they become more disruptive.
Our technicians help you stay on track and are straightforward about what’s needed now versus what can wait. If budget is a concern, we can help you prioritize the most critical items first.
Call (719) 738-8200 or schedule online to book a Tune-Up at Christian Brothers Automotive Monument. We serve Monument and El Paso County drivers, explain our findings, and get your approval before work begins.
How Regular Tune-Ups Identify Developing Concerns
Preventive maintenance matters because vehicle systems can degrade gradually. A Tune-Up evaluates multiple systems at once, including spark plugs, filters, fluids, and fuel delivery, so developing concerns can be identified before a driver notices a major change in performance. Worn spark plugs can contribute to reduced fuel efficiency, rough operation, or misfires. Clogged filters can restrict airflow and fuel delivery in ways that are easy to miss until performance drops noticeably.
Fluids are important. Engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid all serve protective functions, and low levels or degraded fluid condition can affect the systems they support. The urgency of a finding and the work required depend on the vehicle’s condition and the service recommended. No maintenance service can prevent every breakdown, but regular inspections provide useful information for making informed service decisions.
