What Is a Car Tune-Up?

The nature of a car tune–up has changed over the years, but the basics of how a gasoline engine works has not. Clean gas and air needs to be driven to the vehicle’s cylinders, where combustion initiated by a spark plug creates the power necessary to move a heavy vehicle. Clogged fuel injectors, dirty air and fuel filters, and worn spark plugs can all decrease engine performance and contribute to decreased gas mileage and performance.

So what does a car tune-up consist of? At Tires Plus a comprehensive tune-up package can be tailored to your needs. A tune-up can include replacing spark plugs, ignition wires/coil boots, air filter, external fuel filter, performing a fuel system cleaning and more. We will review the manufacturer’s suggested maintenance schedule before making recommendations based on your vehicle's needs.
