Modern Vehicles and Tune-Ups

Unlike older vehicles that required tune-ups every 10,000 or 20,000 miles, many modern cars can go up to 100,000 miles before needing certain maintenance, like spark plug replacements. However, routine maintenance and attention to warning signs remain crucial for vehicle longevity and performance.


9 Signs Your Vehicle Needs a Tune-Up

  1. Warning Lights: Dashboard indicators illuminate for a reason. Pay attention to them and have any issues diagnosed promptly to avoid more severe problems.
  2. Stalling: Unexpected stalling at intersections or during acceleration can indicate issues like fouled spark plugs or a clogged fuel filter. Addressing these issues promptly is essential for safety.
  3. Hard Starts: Difficulty starting your vehicle can signal problems with the battery, starter, or other components. If this happens, note any patterns and consult us.
  4. Poor Fuel Mileage: A sudden decrease in fuel efficiency suggests your vehicle isn't operating efficiently. It could be due to improper tire pressure, a sticking brake pad, or the need for a tune-up.
  5. Soft or Noisy Brakes: Squeaky, vibrating, or unresponsive brakes require immediate attention. Worn brake pads, rotors, and brake fluid need periodic replacement.
  6. Unexplained Noises: Squealing, grinding, or other unusual noises can indicate various issues, from low power steering fluid to worn belts or failing CV joints.
  7. Rough Shifts: Automatic transmission should shift smoothly. Rough or abrupt gear changes, or difficulty shifting into higher gears, indicate that your transmission needs servicing.
  8. Sluggish Acceleration or Loss of Power: Reduced power can be dangerous, especially when merging onto highways or towing. Regular maintenance helps prevent this issue.
  9. Vibration: Unexplained vibrations can result from unbalanced tires, a tire going flat, or a failing universal joint. Note where and when it happens and consult us.


Your Vehicle Owner's Manual: A Valuable Resource

Your owner's manual is a key resource for preventing common vehicle problems. It provides detailed maintenance schedules and intervals. Regularly refer to it, follow its recommendations, and listen to your vehicle's warning signs to reduce issues. If you can't find your manual, a quick online search or a call to our shop can provide the guidance you need.
