What Is An Automotive Tune-Up Today

While the term "tune-up" has evolved from the days of adjusting carburetors and distributor caps, the objective remains ensuring your engine operates at peak efficiency. Modern vehicles rely on sophisticated computers and sensors rather than mechanical timing, meaning today's tune-up focuses on replacing wear items that directly affect performance, fuel economy, and emissions.

When you bring your vehicle to our shop for a tune-up, our technicians perform a comprehensive check that typically includes:

  • Spark Plug Replacement: Installing new plugs to ensure proper combustion and prevent engine misfires.
  • Ignition System Inspection: Checking coils and wires for signs of wear that could cause rough idling.
  • Filter Exchange: Replacing air and fuel filters to maintain proper airflow and protect internal components.
  • Sensor Evaluation: Verifying that oxygen and mass airflow sensors are communicating correctly with the onboard computer.
  • Fuel System Analysis: Checking for deposits or clogs that may hinder acceleration and gas mileage.

We believe that maintenance should be tailored to your specific vehicle rather than applied as a generic checklist. By consulting your owner’s manual and conducting a physical inspection, we identify exactly what your car needs based on its current age and mileage. Our team explains every recommendation clearly, helping you understand how these services prevent costly repairs and keep your vehicle reliable for the road ahead.

Key Services Included In Routine Car Maintenance

A tune-up is just one part of a sensible maintenance plan. Spreading out routine services over time helps protect every major system on your vehicle and can reduce the chance of unexpected breakdowns. Our team can help you create a schedule that fits both your manufacturer recommendations and your driving patterns.

Common maintenance services we perform include oil and filter changes, brake inspections, fluid checks and top-offs, battery testing, tire rotation, and alignment checks. We also look at air and cabin filters, hoses, belts, and wiper blades. For each item, we explain how it affects your driving experience, from fuel efficiency and ride comfort to stopping distance and visibility.

We use equipment and parts that meet manufacturer standards, which supports the long-term health of your engine, transmission, and other critical components. Rather than pushing a long list of services at every visit, we track what has been done and what is coming due. That way, you can plan ahead and keep your vehicle maintenance on track without feeling overwhelmed.

What To Expect During Your Tune-Up Visit

When you arrive, we review your specific concerns and vehicle history to ensure we focus on the right areas. Our ASE-certified technicians then perform a comprehensive evaluation, utilizing visual checks, test drives, and advanced computerized diagnostics. We aim to understand exactly what is happening under the hood to accurately assess your engine's performance.

We prioritize transparency by explaining our findings in plain language and providing a clear estimate for parts and labor. You always have the final say on repairs, ensuring you never feel pressured to buy unnecessary services. While we work, you can relax in our comfortable lobby or use our complimentary shuttle to keep your day moving.

  • Thorough visual and digital engine inspection.
  • Clear explanations and upfront cost estimates.
  • No work performed without your prior approval.
  • Complimentary shuttle service for your convenience.

Comfortable, Convenient Service For Local Drivers

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.
