What Does A Tune Up Include?
When it comes to our cars preventative maintenance is key to a lasting car. A quick and easy way to do maintenance is to bring your car in for a frequent tune up.
If we think our cars should last longer we really need to step up and start taking care of them better. Sometimes we easily brush off tune ups because we may think after a year that our car is running perfectly and you can't hear or feel a difference so everything must be okay. We may think it's unnecessary to get it checked out.
I've also heard some people state that they don't like how a tune up involves changing and replacing certain parts, because if they aren't broken, why repair them? But really, there are some parts of your car that when not changed frequently can cause a decrease in your engine performance, in addition to other problems that can arise from it.
Anyone who knows anything about car maintenance will tell you that you should be bringing in your car for a tune up at least once a year. It is also convenient because they can catch problems early on that will, in essence, reduce the cost of fixing the problem.
If you are still having doubts about the importance of a tune up, let me use an air filter as an example. If you don't change your air filter regularly, as time goes on, your engine will struggle getting the air that it requires to work like it should. This is a great example of chain reaction because many other problems will start to show up, all due to the fact that you didn't get your air filter changed.
You will have to talk to your local professional for what services they offer for their tune ups. Most of them will offer replacing the distributor cap, rotor, the air filter, and the spark plugs. Some may offer more than this so it is smart to ask them what each general tune up that they have will specifically offer you.
When you bring in your car for a tune up ask a lot of questions both before and after about your car. Find out what they will be doing, what they will be changing or what they changed. Also make sure that you've asked them specifics on future problems that they see that you might have, etc.
To think that your car does not need a yearly tune up is not the best thing for your car. If you want it to last longer and be a better ride for both you and your family, make sure that it is getting the treatment that it deserves. - 2368
