Engine Tuning

When it’s time for engine tune-ups, you can rest easy, as our certified technicians use state-of-the-art equipment and have the knowledge and skills to get your engine running like new. Whether you notice that your motor is burning more fuel, making strange noises, or something else, they can help.

How Often Should You Schedule an Engine Tune-Up?

Your driving habits significantly affect how often you should schedule motor maintenance. If you frequently travel on the highway or use your vehicle daily, consider scheduling regular services.

If you don’t use your vehicle often or only use it when necessary, you won’t need maintenance as frequently. However, it’s recommended that you schedule an engine tune-up every 10,000 to 12,000 miles to ensure your motor runs smoothly.

When Do You Know It’s Time?

Not many drivers know what to listen to or feel when their car says it’s time for a tune-up, so here are a few signs you can look for to know it’s time to schedule!

Check Engine Light: The light on your dashboard could mean multiple issues, which is your car’s way of asking for help. Please schedule an appointment with our team so we can properly diagnose the engine problem and apply the correct fix.

Sluggish Acceleration: If your car struggles to respond when you press the accelerator, it could mean you have a clogged filter or an ignition issue.

Struggling to Start: Does your car hesitate or struggle to start when you turn the key? You could have failing or damaged spark plugs or a weak battery.

Reduced Fuel Economy: Is your car burning more fuel than usual? Are you at the pump more often? An engine tune-up can help fix the issue and restore your vehicle’s fuel efficiency!

Hard Idling: If your engine feels like it’s struggling in the park or vibrates with odd sounds, don’t wait! Have our factory-trained team look and see if you need engine repair!

Misfiring Engine: When you press down on the gas, you shouldn’t feel your car jerk or shake. If you do, it could mean you have worn-out spark plugs.

Do Engine Tune-Ups Take a Long Time?

How long should it take to schedule a tune-up? The short answer depends on what you have done in one appointment. It usually takes 2 to 4 hours to complete an engine tune-up, as it takes time to diagnose the problem and apply the fix carefully and accurately.
