Why it matters
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.
But, keeping your engine tuned will restore your car to its normal operating state, and will contribute to the overall efficiency of the engine and emissions systems.
What we check
There are many areas involved in performing a tune-up on a vehicle.
- For some vehicles, it is recommended that you inspect the spark plugs on a regular basis to prevent them from seizing inside the engine.
- The typical replacement interval for spark plugs ranges from 50,000 to 160,000 kilometers, but it varies based on spark plug and vehicle type. Check your owner’s manual.
- Replace any other ignition system and/or emissions system parts as needed/recommended.
- Replace the fuel and air filters regularly.
Please refer to our vehicle maintenance chart for more details on the recommended schedule for maintenance.
