What’s included in our car tune-up services

Here’s a closer look at some of the key services our technicians and mechanics perform to keep your vehicle running its best:

Spark plug replacement

Worn spark plugs can cause misfires, poor fuel mileage, and hard starts. Replacing them restores proper ignition timing and keeps the engine firing consistently.

Ignition system check

A faulty ignition coil or damaged wires can lead to stalling or reduced power. Checking and replacing these parts keeps the spark strong and the car reliable.

Air and fuel filter replacement

Dirty filters restrict airflow or fuel delivery, making the engine run rough and less efficient. Replacing them helps the engine breathe better and improves fuel burn.

Belt and hose inspection

Cracked belts or leaking hoses can cause a breakdown, damage the radiator, or affect the AC. Checking their condition and replacing when worn prevents bigger repair bills.

Fluid and oil check

Low or dirty fluids can shorten the life of major components. During a tune-up, we check and top off or change fluids, including oil, coolant to keep things cool, and transmission fluid.

Battery and charging system test

Weak batteries or charging problems can leave you stranded. Testing the battery and alternator during a tune-up makes sure the electrical system is ready every time you turn the key.
