What is included in a typical tune-up is a question we are frequently asked. The answer will vary depending on the garage. Still, this proactive maintenance generally targets trouble areas and fixes minor problems, so they stay manageable. Check out our list of tune-up benefits for a closer look at some additional ways a tune-up might improve your car.
Improved Mileage:
A tune-up may take care of all the minor issues in your car that you might not have noticed are costing you extra gas. For instance, if your brakes stick, your vehicle may use more gas than usual. Your brakes will be examined during the tune-up, and brake pads could need to be changed. If your tires aren’t correctly aligned, they may rotate at an unexpected angle and use more gasoline. This increases friction on the axles and on the road. This problem can be readily resolved with a tire rotation and alignment, which will also help you use less petrol while driving your car from home to work and back.
Repairing a Rough Ride:
Mainly when it’s chilly. By doing power and energy checks, your mechanic can identify both of these issues and determine what’s causing the rattling and why your car isn’t holding power the way it should. Hundreds of internal parts, ranging from the starter to the exhaust, could be the problem. If there is a problem, a qualified mechanic can identify and solve it, saving you from riding uncomfortably from point A to point B.
Glow-in-the-Dark Dash Lights:
Even though every warning light on your car is intended to tell you something, only some drivers are fluent in automotive diagnostics. Our qualified team of technicians will investigate the meaning of the warning lights, the cause of their illumination, and the most efficient way to resolve them.

A Complete Checkup:
Consider an automobile tune-up in the same manner you would like a physical examination. It extensively examines functional parts, identifies issues, and enables their repair. Your technician will advise getting something serviced to enhance handling, lower the risk of a breakdown, and give you a better ride, just like your doctor might recommend medication to treat an ailment.
During a tune-up, your mechanic will run a code scan to look for ignition issues or exhaust leaks. During this time, they will examine everything from engine leaks and battery voltage to valves, rings, and gaskets.
Following a tune-up, it’s crucial to remember that your mechanic is providing you the chance to correct little ant hills before they grow into molehills. We would much prefer to assist you in fixing a minor component now than have to carry out an extensive overhaul down the road.
