You may think your car is running normally, but things might not be going so smoothly under the hood. The vehicle may require a tune-up. This is a routine service that includes a checkup of major components. The idea is to detect problems and fix them before they exacerbate. Learn what’s included in this service.
An oil check is a fundamental service in a tune-up. If the oil level is low, or if the oil appears blackened, then the oil will be replaced using the oil type recommended for your specific car make and model. Depending on the vehicle’s condition, the mechanic may recommend a more comprehensive oil flush.
Parts like belts, hoses, spark plugs, and air filters are inspected and replaced if need be. These parts, while small in size, play an integral role in automotive performance. Seemingly minor issues like a dirty filter or a slightly loose belt can significantly and negatively impact performance.
A tune-up also includes an assessment of the brakes, the fuel system, the transmission, and more. All fluids are checked and topped off as needed. Brake pads and rotors are checked for wear.
A technician will perform a tire check. This includes a close look at the treads and sidewall for signs of damage. If needed, the mechanic may perform a tire rotation to ensure even wear. Other related services include tire alignment and balance.
