IS IT TIME FOR AN ENGINE TUNE-UP?
In the past, “tune-ups” encompassed a series of maintenance services and adjustments, but modern vehicles seldom require the traditional concept of a ‘tune-up’ due to advancements in technology. Nowadays, engine “tune-ups” involve a variety of maintenance tasks, including inspecting and replacing spark plugs and various filters, as well as cleaning the fuel system. Premier Tire & Auto Care offers “tune-up” services tailored to your vehicle’s age and history. Generally, we recommend having the engine checked annually or every 10,000 to 12,000 miles as part of routine maintenance. If more specific repairs are needed, our technicians will provide guidance accordingly.
DOES A TUNE-UP INCLUDE AN OIL CHANGE?
Our engine tune-up services typically do not incorporate an oil change, but you have the option to include one if your vehicle requires it. At Premier Tire & Auto Care, our skilled technicians perform routine oil changes daily. Our full-service oil change includes a comprehensive 19-point inspection of your vehicle to identify any apparent issues before they escalate. For a more thorough examination, we suggest scheduling a Complete Vehicle Inspection to detect any underlying vehicle issues.
HOW MUCH IS A TUNE-UP AND OIL CHANGE?
Given the various definitions of a modern tune-up, the cost can vary. If you opt for an oil change during the same appointment, the price of a standard oil change will be included. Routine maintenance, such as an engine inspection, is crucial for vehicle ownership and can ultimately save you money by minimizing the risk of major repairs. If you’re seeking a quote for engine tune-up services, the specialists at Premier Tire & Auto Care are ready to assist you.
