What You Should Know About Auto Tune Ups

It’s a Saturday and the last thing you want to do is go to the auto shop and get a tune up. While this routine task may not be exciting it is an easy way to avoid headaches down the road. A tune up is simply a routine check of all the important components in your car. All routine maintenance tasks are performed and problems are fixed. A regular tune up is a necessary step to ensure that your automobile maintains good performance and can extend the life of your car by many miles.

A tune up typically consists of checking all of the engine’s vitals as well as other critical components such as brakes, tires, and fuel and brake lines. The engine will be inspected for loose belts, leaking hoses and the condition of the operating fluids. The mechanic will then run an electronic diagnostics test to ensure all the engines vitals are working normally. All the electronic sensors are checked and replaced if necessary. At this time any other parts may be replaced as necessary. Some tune ups will be more expensive than others as certain engine parts will need to be replaced over time. There are parts that will typically replaced over the lifetime of the automobile such as the timing belt, clutch (for manual transmissions), spark plugs, ignition wires, oxygen sensors, brakes, distributor, fuel filter and PCV filter. Depending on the season you may also get a coolant flush and a refrigerant recharge.

In addition to replacing parts that routinely wear out a tune up can serve to stop bigger problems before they happen. A lot happens when you drive your car a lot that you can’t see. Even with modern electronically monitored cars, bad weather and roads shower your engines with debris and sometimes damage your car without you being aware. A tune up is a great way to keep tabs on engine performance and discover problems before they balloon to vastly expensive repairs.

Tips on Finding an Auto Tune Up Shop:

  • Word of mouth is always best. Ask around for reputable shops and be sure to ask for complaints.
  • Be sure that the garage is licensed.
  • Shop around for deals. Fees can very from shop. Many franchised garages will run specials for a flat rate and often advertise coupons.
  • Use this time to get an oil change or buy new tires if needed.

If you get a regular tune up every year your automobile and wallet will thank you.
