What’s Involved in an Engine Tune-Up?
An engine tune-up helps maintain your vehicle’s performance, improve fuel efficiency, and extend its lifespan. At Signature Auto Care, we’ll walk you through what’s involved in an engine tune-up.
Key Components of an Engine Tune-Up
An engine tune-up is a comprehensive service that ensures your car runs smoothly and efficiently. One of the main components of a tune-up is checking and replacing spark plugs. Over time, spark plugs wear out, leading to misfires, poor fuel economy, and reduced engine performance. Replacing worn spark plugs can restore your vehicle’s power and efficiency. Additionally, the ignition system is inspected to ensure that everything is firing properly.
At Signature Auto Care, our technicians also check and replace air filters, as clogged filters can reduce engine airflow, impacting fuel efficiency and performance. The fuel system is cleaned to ensure fuel is delivered efficiently to the engine. A clean fuel injector, along with a proper fuel filter, allows your engine to perform optimally, reducing emissions and improving fuel economy. We also inspect belts and hoses to ensure they are not cracked, worn, or loose, which can lead to engine issues.
Why Regular Engine Tune-Ups Are Important
Regular engine tune-ups are essential for maintaining your vehicle’s health and longevity. Over time, components like the spark plugs, filters, and fuel injectors can degrade, leading to reduced engine performance and increased emissions. Regular maintenance through an engine tune-up at Signature Auto Care helps prevent minor issues from turning into expensive repairs.
Another benefit of a tune-up is improved fuel efficiency. By optimizing your vehicle’s engine components, a tune-up can reduce fuel consumption, saving you money in the long run. If your car is experiencing rough idling, decreased acceleration, or poor fuel economy, an engine tune-up can help restore its smooth performance. Trust Signature Auto Care for a thorough and professional engine tune-up to keep your vehicle running at its best.
