We are often asked what is included in a regular tune-up. Although the answer may vary from one garage to another, it is generally proactive and preventive maintenance that targets problem areas and fixes small problems so they don’t grow. A majority of tune-ups include an engine inspection to ensure there are no leaks and that the engine runs smoothly. Check out our list to see how a tune-up can help your vehicle.
Auto Preventive Maintenance Tips
You will get better mileage:
A tune-up can fix any little problems that may be causing your vehicle to consume more gas. If your vehicle is guzzling more fuel than usual, this could be due to sticking brakes. Your brakes will also be checked during the tune-up. If necessary, brake pads may be replaced. Bad fuel mileage can also be caused by improper alignment of your tires. This causes them to spin at an unnatural angle and increases friction against the road and axles. This issue can be easily fixed by changing your tires and aligning your wheels. It will also reduce how much gas you use to get from home to work.
Repair a rough ride:
As your vehicle ages, you may notice that it doesn’t run as smoothly as it once did. Perhaps you have noticed that your vehicle is shaking or having trouble getting going in the morning. Your mechanic will perform a power and energy check to diagnose the problem. There are many internal parts that could be the problem, from the starter to your exhaust. Certified auto mechanics can diagnose the problem and repair it so you don’t feel uncomfortable while riding from one point to another.
Glowing Lights on Your Dash:
Every warning light on your car is there to inform you of something. Unfortunately, not all drivers are bilingual in car diagnostics. Our professional mechanics will help you determine what warning lights are and why they are on. They also know how to repair them quickly and efficiently.
A thorough check-up:
Treat a tune-up for your car as a medical exam of your body. The mechanic thoroughly examines all working parts and identifies any problems. Your mechanic might recommend that you have something serviced, just as your doctor might prescribe medication to treat an illness. This will improve your handling, reduce the likelihood of a breakdown, give you a better ride, and make your vehicle more reliable.
Your mechanic will run a code scan during a tune-up to look for any ignition problems or exhaust leaks. Your mechanic will also check for any leaks or problems with the engine, including battery voltage and valves. While your mechanic might not find an issue every time during a tune-up, this is great news for those who love their cars. However, in most cases, there will be a few things that need to be fixed before you can drive again. Remember that your mechanic will give you the chance to fix small problems before they become major ones. We would rather you fix a small problem now than have to do a complete overhaul later.
We are committed to providing you with top-quality service each time we work on your vehicle. To keep you safe on the road and prevent you from spending too much in the future.

Your car is more than just a vehicle that gets you from A to B. It also keeps you safe while on the roads. Your car provides a safe environment for your family while you travel. It is an integral part of your travel experience. If it is not taken care of or repaired by a certified mechanic it could lead to serious problems.
It is crucial to choose a mechanic for preventative maintenance. Every time a client leaves their vehicle with us, we understand that it is a responsibility. We are a family-owned business and we understand the importance of having a reliable vehicle for your family. We have compiled a list of helpful things to look out for when looking for a preventative mechanic.
1. License and certification:
Many people are passionate about cars and will fix your car for a low price. Not all of these people are certified mechanics. Not only will it void your warranty but it could also cause more problems down the line. Ask about the credentials of anyone you are considering transferring your vehicle to. What is their experience in the industry? Did they go to school or were they trained under someone? Are they certified as mechanics?
2. Meet the staff in person:
Booking an appointment over the telephone or online is so simple these days. Many people leave their cars without speaking with the company that will work on them. Stop by potential garages to meet them. Talk about your vehicle’s problems and see if the team is willing to help. While any auto shop can fix your vehicle, are they willing to do the work and put in the effort necessary to ensure you have a safe vehicle? Every time they work on a vehicle, our team of skilled mechanics strives to give the best service possible.
3. What are others saying:
Word of mouth was the first form of advertising. Before advertising companies existed, park benches were covered with business logos. The internet makes it easy to find out what other people think about a company and their practices. Our clients are encouraged to read reviews from past clients about us. We are also available to talk about previous work and how we can improve your vehicle. You don’t have to believe what we say about the quality of our work. Check out what other customers are saying.
4. Price Check:
While there is an industry standard for most repairs, especially those that are covered by your insurance, prices can vary from one mechanic to the next. Do your research and shop around to find the best price. Don’t accept the first quote. It is not always the best decision to choose the lowest bidder over a high-quality shop. But sometimes, you can get both. Our goal is to offer outstanding service without breaking the bank. Preventative auto repairs are very affordable and we will work with you to find a way to fix your car without making it a financial nightmare. We want to make sure that you are satisfied with our services.
