Signs Your Vehicle May Need A Tune-Up Or Maintenance Visit
Your vehicle often gives you small warnings before a bigger problem develops. Paying attention to those changes and scheduling service early can save you time and money. Our team is always glad to talk through what you are noticing and help you decide on the right next step.
Drivers commonly contact us when they feel rough idling, hard starting, or sluggish acceleration. Others notice a drop in fuel mileage, new vibrations, or warning lights on the dashboard. You might also hear unusual sounds when you start the engine or smell something out of the ordinary after a drive around Murfreesboro.
These symptoms can have different causes, which is why a careful inspection matters. A visit focused on engine performance and related maintenance can reveal worn spark plugs, clogged filters, or other components that are ready for replacement. Ignoring these signs can lead to more serious issues, such as stalling, poor drivability, or difficulty starting on a busy morning. If something feels different about your vehicle, we encourage you to give us a call so we can help you address it early.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Schedule A Tune-Up For My Car?
The right interval for a tune-up depends on your vehicle and how you drive. Many newer cars can go longer between certain services, while vehicles with higher mileage or frequent stop-and-go driving around town may need attention sooner. Our team reviews your owner’s manual, checks your maintenance history, and looks at your current mileage to make a sensible recommendation. We then discuss a plan with you so you know what to expect over the coming months and years.
What Is Included In A Modern Automotive Tune Up?
A modern automotive tune-up focuses on keeping your engine running smoothly and efficiently. This can include replacing spark plugs, checking ignition components, inspecting and possibly replacing air and fuel filters, and confirming that sensors and related systems are working correctly. We also review fluids and look for signs of wear or buildup that could affect performance. Instead of applying a generic package, we tailor the tune-up to what your specific vehicle actually needs at that visit.
How Long Will My Car Need To Stay At Your Shop?
The time your car spends at our shop depends on the services being performed and what we find during inspection. Many maintenance items and some tune-up services can be completed within part of a day, while more involved repairs may take longer. When you schedule, we provide an initial time estimate based on your concerns and the mileage on your vehicle. Once the car is in the shop, we will update you if the timeline changes and discuss options, such as using our shuttle, so you can plan the rest of your day.
How Do You Decide What Maintenance My Vehicle Really Needs?
We base maintenance recommendations on three main factors: manufacturer guidelines, the condition of the vehicle, and how you drive. Our technicians look at your service history, perform a visual inspection and, when helpful, diagnostic testing, and compare what they see to the intervals listed in your owner’s manual. We then explain what is due now, what is coming up soon, and what can safely wait. This approach allows you to make informed decisions without feeling pressured into unnecessary work.
Do You Offer A Warranty On Parts And Labor?
Yes, our work is backed by an industry-leading warranty on eligible parts and labor. This coverage reflects the confidence we have in our technicians and the quality of the equipment and components we use. Specific warranty details can vary by service and part type, so our team explains how coverage applies to your visit before work begins. Our goal is to give you peace of mind that if an issue arises related to our work, you have support.
Can I Wait At Your Shop While My Car Is Serviced?
In many cases, you can wait comfortably at our shop while we perform maintenance or a tune-up. We have a welcoming lobby where you can relax while shorter services are completed. If your visit is expected to take longer or you prefer not to wait, our complimentary shuttle can take you to nearby destinations. We work with you at check-in to decide which option fits your schedule best.
Do Your Technicians Work On My Make And Model?
Our ASE-certified technicians service a wide range of domestic and imported vehicles. We use manufacturer-quality equipment and follow vehicle-specific information to support accurate diagnosis and repair. When you call to schedule, you can share your make, model, and year so we can confirm details and be prepared for your visit. Our aim is to provide consistent, reliable care for the variety of vehicles driven in the area.
