A proper and routine tune-up allows your engine to work hand-in-hand with
the rest of your car’s powertrain. This is how optimum car performance is achieved.
Why Do I Need This Service?
A well-tuned engine delivers the best balance of power and fuel economy and produces the lowest level of emissions. Modern engines compensate
for worn parts to a degree, giving you the sense that everything is fine with your car. A routine tune-up will restore your car to its normal operating state, and contribute to the overall efficiency of the engine and emissions system.

Questions To Ask
- How often does my car need a
tune-up?
- Are there other services that need to be performed at this time?

- If the “Check Engine” or “Service Engine Soon” light comes on, is it the same as saying its time for a tune-up?
