Why are tune-ups important for my vehicle?

Normal vehicle usage causes various parts of your engine to lose their efficiency because of under-the-hood temperature and vibration.

• Regular tune-ups help maintain vehicle safety and performance by ensuring that worn or faulty parts are replaced promptly
• Tune-ups can help you achieve maximum fuel efficiency and vehicle performance

When to get a tune-up

Tune-ups are an important part of regular vehicle maintenance and should be scheduled annually. You should schedule a tune-up sooner if you notice any of the following:

• Your gas mileage is decreasing
• You experience a loss of power or torque
• Your engine sounds like it’s running rough or stalls out at a stop
• You hear knocking or pinging sounds when accelerating or after the ignition is turned off
• Your check engine light remains on after your initial start
