Getting A Tune-up Before The Summer Months!

Before it starts to get real hot, it is vital that you get your vehicle ready for the summer months. With that being said, getting a tune-up on your car or truck is probably one of the smartest things you can do to ensure your vehicle is in running great.

What is the Purpose of a Tune-Up?

The purpose of a tune-up is to make sure that your vehicle is in tip-top shape and to inform you if it isn’t. Tune-up intervals will vary, depending on what vehicle you may have. Older vehicles should get tuned every year or every 10,000-12,000 miles. Newer vehicles, however, do not need to get tuned up as often. Normally, newer cars will base their tune-ups on mileage and will have the diagnostic done every 25,000 miles or so. The benefit of a tune-up is to hopefully catch what’s wrong with your vehicle before it’s too late. You should look into getting a tune-up if:

• Your vehicle stalls often–this usually happens if the spark plugs are worn, an electronic sensing device needs adjustment, or the gap between the spark plug electrodes need fixing done.
• Also, your vehicle’s engine is running roughly once you accelerate or idle.
• The vehicle becomes harder to start–this can result in a weak battery in the starting system, a weak fuel pump in the fuel system, or a faulty electronic component in the ignition system.

Having your Air Filter, Fuel Filter and/or Fuel Injector system checked and changed or maintained, is often part of a Tune-up inspection as well.
