Maintain Your Vehicle With Regular Tune Ups
Following scheduled maintenance intervals and getting regular tune ups
on your vehicle is a great way to keep it running smoothly, safely and
efficiently. A properly tuned vehicle can have increased gas mileage,
better performance, and improved emissions (better for the environment).
What Is A Tune Up?
Essentially, a tune up is a one over by a skilled mechanic of all of your vehicle’s important systems to be sure everything is in optimal condition.
Common items that are checked during a regular tune up are
spark plugs, idle speed check and adjustment, set timing, inspect the
choke, throttle linkage, spark plug wires, and distributor cap. Usually a
tune up includes checking the battery as well, because this is a very important component in a vehicle’s function, with a known limited life span.
Other things that are routinely inspected during a tune up are tires, transmission and fluid, brakes, exhaust, air pressure, and belts.
Simple things like checking the fluids and air pressure in a vehicle’s tires can lead to a noticeable positive difference in fuel efficiency, meaning you’ll be spending less at the pump!
