A proper and routine tuneup 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 tuneup will restore your car to its normal operating state, and contribute to the overall efficiency of the engine and emissions system.

Tuneup Questions To Ask
How often does my car need a
tuneup?
Are there other services that need to be performed at this time?
How does this work address my complaint?
If the “Check Engine” or “Service Engine Soon” light comes on, is it the same as saying its time for a tuneup?
