Tune-Up FAQs
How often do I need a tune-up?
Modern vehicles with electronic ignition typically need tune-ups every 30,000-100,000 miles, depending on spark plug type. Platinum and iridium plugs last longer than conventional plugs. Check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations, or we can inspect your spark plugs to determine if replacement is needed.
What’s included in a tune-up?
A basic tune-up includes spark plug replacement, air filter replacement, and inspection of ignition components. We may also recommend fuel filter replacement, PCV valve replacement, or fuel system cleaning depending on your vehicle’s condition and maintenance history.
Will a tune-up fix my check engine light?
Sometimes. If the check engine light is caused by worn spark plugs or ignition misfires, a tune-up will resolve the issue. However, a diagnostic scan is needed to determine the exact cause. We always diagnose check engine lights before recommending repairs.
