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.

Signs You May Need a Tune-Up
It is not always easy to know when your car needs more than an oil change. Paying attention to small changes can help you schedule service before a minor issue becomes something larger. If your vehicle has been feeling off, it might be time to talk with our team about a tune-up Norman drivers trust.
Some signs are obvious, such as a check engine light or trouble starting in the morning. Others are more gradual, like making more stops at the gas station for the same driving routine. You might also notice that your car hesitates, idles roughly at traffic lights, or feels less responsive when you press the accelerator.
Common signs you may be due for a tune-up include:
- Hard starts, slow cranking, or frequent jump-starts.
- Rough idling, occasional stalling, or shaking at stops.
- Noticeable drop in fuel economy without a change in driving habits.
- Loss of power on hills or when merging onto the highway.
- Warning lights on the dash that stay on or flash.
If you are overdue for routine service, you are not alone. Many drivers fall behind when life gets busy. Our team is here to help you get caught up, starting with an honest look at your vehicle and a clear plan for what to address first.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often does my car really need a tune-up?
The right timing depends on your vehicle, mileage, and driving conditions. Many newer cars benefit from a detailed tune-up every several years, along with regular maintenance in between. We review your owner’s manual and your driving habits, then recommend a schedule that fits your specific vehicle.
How will you decide what maintenance my car needs?
We start by listening to your concerns, then perform inspections and, when appropriate, diagnostics. Our technicians compare what they find to manufacturer guidelines and your vehicle’s age and mileage. We explain what is urgent, what can wait, and why, so you can choose which services to approve.
How long will my maintenance or tune-up visit take?
Timing varies with the services you approve, but many routine visits fit into part of a workday. We discuss estimated time frames when you schedule and again at check-in. If you cannot stay, our complimentary shuttle can help you get where you need to go while we work.
Is your work on my car covered by a warranty?
Yes. We offer an industry-leading warranty on qualifying services and parts, which reflects our confidence in the work our technicians perform. Specific terms can vary by service, so our team explains how your warranty applies to the maintenance completed on your vehicle.
What happens if you find other problems during service?
If we uncover additional concerns, we contact you before doing any extra work. We explain what we found, discuss options, and review pricing. You decide what to approve. Our goal is to keep you informed and in control, not to surprise you at checkout.
