The nature of an engine "tune-up" has changed considerably over the years, but the basics of
how a gasoline engine works has not. Clean gas and air needs to be driven to the vehicle's
cylinders where combustion initiated by a spark plug creates the power necessary to move a
heavy vehicle. Clogged fuel injectors, dirty air and fuel filters, and corroded spark plugs can
all decrease engine performance and contribute to decreased gas mileage and performance.
That's why we examine your vehicle's air filter when your stop in, and why we recommend
that you follow manufacturer's recommendations for replacing such key components as fuel
filters, PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valves, and spark plugs when they are no longer
working at maximum efficiency. |

A standard tune-up, or spark plug replacement,
done at the suggested maintenance interval will make an engine easier to
start, improve fuel economy, lower emissions and restore lost power.
Another (often overlooked) service designed to help your vehicle's engine
running properly is the cleaning of fuel injectors and the fuel intake
system. When dirt and deposits collect on fuel injectors, the amount
of fuel delivered to the engine is restricted, leading to deterioration
in performance and responsiveness. At Tires Plus Total
Car Care, our trained technicians can perform a Fuel System Cleaning that
will remove these deposits and help your vehicle maximize its performance
and gas mileage capabilities.
Regular maintenance of your vehicle's fuel ignition system is the key to
reliability, fuel efficiency, and effective engine performance. From fixing
a fuel system problem when it occurs to helping you prevent one from
happening in the future, the technicians at Tires Plus Total Car
Care are there to keep your engine "tuned-up" and ready to go.
