🔧 HOW OFTEN DOES YOUR CAR NEED A TUNE-UP? 🚗
The answer depends on your vehicle’s year, mileage, and manufacturer recommendations — but staying ahead of routine maintenance can help prevent bigger, more expensive problems down the road.
🛠️ Things to watch for:
• Rough or shaky idle
• Hard starting
• Decreased fuel mileage ⛽
• Sluggish acceleration
• Engine misfires
• Check Engine Light
• Stalling or unusual engine noises
💡 Modern vehicles often go much longer between traditional tune-ups, but that doesn’t mean they’re maintenance-free! Spark plugs, ignition components, filters, fluids, and other items still need attention as your vehicle racks up miles.
📅 Don’t wait for a breakdown to find out what your car needs. Check your owner’s manual for the recommended maintenance schedule — or let our team help you figure out what’s due.
