Why Your Car Needs a Tune Up?

If your vehicle is experiencing a drivability problem, it's getting hard to start, fuel mileage has dropped, stalling and hesitating, knocking or failing to run on same zip and power, or even failing on emission tests, then it needs an engine tune up. For most cars, tune-up maintenance is recommended after your car reaches 30 thousand miles.

Engine Tune Up: What We Do

We first perform tune-up checks to establish your engines overall condition, and these include:

  • Battery Voltage – Cars today have multiple on-board electronics that require constant charging.
  • Power Balance or Dynamic Compression – To identify mechanical problems that can negatively affect engine performance.
  • Engine Vacuum – To establish probable air leaks or exhaust restrictions.
  • Scanning Fault Codes – To establish if fault codes are present for immediate diagnosis and elimination.
  • Verify Idle Speed – To establish probable ISC motor problems.
  • Check Ignition Timing – To establish any computer or sensor problems.
  • Visual Inspections – To establish all engine fluids are at the proper level and conditions acceptable.

What We Replace After Checks

Upon detecting major faults, we replace following items to maximize engine performance:

  • Spark Plugs – These need periodic replacements as electrodes wear-out due to constant firing – recommended after 30,000 miles of operation.
  • Rotor or Distributor Cap if need be.
  • Fuel Filter: other parts on a need be basis – oxygen sensors, belts, hoses, and fluids.

At Custom Complete Automotive, we strive to keep your car running as smoothly and efficiently as possible. To schedule a tune-up to determine if your engine is performing at optimal level, or for more information about our services, contact us today for reliable service you can trust!
