Tune Up Service
Once per year “annual” tune-up service is not as common as it was many years ago. Today’s vehicles come with “recommended service intervals” for most of the systems in your car. If you do want to have a “once a year” complete tune-up, here is a list of the possible services we would perform:
- Change the oil & filter
- Lubricate the chassis
- Replace air filters
- Replace cabin filter
- Replace spark plugs
- Replace the file filter
- Replace the PCV valve
- Perform a transmission fluid flush
- Perform a power steering flush
- Replace brake pads and brake rotors
- Replace the timing belt/chain
- Replace the oxygen sensors
- Clean the mass air flow sensor
As I mentioned, the good news is most of these services will be performed at different times during the vehicles life if you follow the manufacturers recommended service intervals. Here are some general industry recommendations, but your vehicle’s owners manual will have the specific recommendations for your car, SUV or pick up:
