Our ASE-certified technicians use manufacturer-quality equipment to inspect and service your car carefully. We take the time to explain what we find in plain language, then help you decide what makes sense for your budget and your schedule.

Why Tune Ups Matter For Your Car

Tune-ups are about more than checking a box on a maintenance list. They are a way to give your car a focused health check so it can keep doing what you need it to do. Over time, ignition parts wear, filters clog, and fluids break down. A thoughtful service visit can catch these issues before they turn into bigger repairs.

When you stay current on maintenance, your vehicle is more likely to start easily, run smoothly, and deliver the fuel economy it was designed for. Drivers who keep up with service often avoid surprises like sudden no-start situations or rough-running engines on busy roads. Our goal is to help you keep your car dependable so it fits your daily life rather than disrupting it.

Many families in this area put a lot of miles on their vehicles, including commuting on I-35 and making frequent short trips around town. That kind of driving can be hard on components and fluids. We walk through your maintenance needs with those real-world conditions in mind, so recommendations are based on how you actually use your car, not just what a generic schedule suggests.

What Happens During A Car Tune-Up

Knowing what to expect during your service visit helps you feel comfortable leaving your vehicle with us. We begin by listening to your specific concerns, whether you have noticed hard starting, decreased fuel economy, or strange noises. This feedback guides our ASE-certified technicians as they initiate a systematic inspection tailored to your vehicle's mileage and condition.

Our comprehensive automotive tune-up process involves a detailed review of key performance systems:

  • Ignition Inspection: checking spark plugs, coils, and wires to ensure efficient combustion and smooth idling.
  • System Integrity: Evaluating air and fuel filters, belts, and hoses for signs of wear or potential failure.
  • Fluid Analysis: Reviewing the level and condition of engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid.
  • Diagnostic Scanning: Using manufacturer-quality equipment to check for trouble codes and assess overall engine performance.
  • Battery Testing: Verifying the condition of your battery to prevent unexpected no-start situations.

Once the evaluation is complete, we review the findings with you in plain language. We explain what is working well and what requires attention, providing a clear estimate before any further work begins. You remain in control of the process, authorizing only the services you are comfortable with. To respect your schedule, we aim for efficient turnaround times and offer a complimentary shuttle to help you keep your day on track while we care for your car.

Signs You May Need a Tune-Up

Some vehicles have very clear ways of asking for attention. Others change slowly over time, so it is easy to adapt and delay service. Paying attention to how your car feels and sounds can help you decide when to schedule a car tune-up with our team.

You might benefit from a focused service visit if you notice the engine taking longer to start, especially first thing in the morning. A decrease in fuel economy can also be a sign that parts are wearing or that filters and fluids are due for attention. Drivers sometimes report rough idling at stoplights, hesitation when accelerating, or a general loss of power when climbing hills.

Warning lights on your dashboard are another clear signal that something needs to be checked. A flashing or steady check engine light, a battery warning light, or other indicators should not be ignored. Even if the car still drives, there may be an underlying issue that a timely check can help identify and address.

Unusual sounds or smells, such as knocking noises, squealing belts, or the scent of fuel, coolant, or burning oil, are also reasons to have your vehicle inspected. When you bring these concerns to Christian Brothers Automotive New Braunfels, we listen carefully and then look for the root cause. Our goal is to help you catch small problems early so you can plan repairs instead of reacting to sudden breakdowns.

Frequently Asked Questions


How often does my car need a tune-up?

The right interval depends on your vehicle and driving habits. Many newer cars rely more on specific mileage and time-based services than traditional tune-ups. We review your manufacturer guidelines and how you drive, then help you build a maintenance plan that makes sense for your situation.

What is included in a car tune-up at your shop?

A typical visit includes inspection of ignition components where applicable, filters, fluids, belts, hoses, and battery health. We also check for warning codes and overall engine performance. After the inspection, our ASE-certified technicians explain what they found and discuss any recommended services before you decide how to proceed.

How long will I be without my car for a tune-up?

Many services can be completed within part of a day, depending on what your vehicle needs. When you schedule, we provide a general time estimate and keep you updated. If you cannot wait at the shop, our complimentary shuttle service can help you stay on schedule while we work.

Will you explain any recommended repairs before you start?

Yes, we always review recommendations with you first. Our team explains what we found, why a service is suggested, and what it may cost. You can ask as many questions as you like, and we only move forward with the work you approve, so you stay in control of your decisions.

In many cases, yes. We often coordinate tune-ups with oil changes or other scheduled services to save you time. When you call or visit, let us know what you would like addressed. Our team can review your vehicle’s history and help you plan a visit that covers multiple needs efficiently.
