TUNE-UP

A tune-up is essential to vehicle maintenance. It helps prevent problems while identifying and replacing worn parts. Maintaining a regular tune-up schedule will help your vehicle last longer, as well as get better gas mileage and performance. Most vehicles require regularly scheduled tune-ups around every 30,000 miles. Check your vehicle's owner's manual to see if this is correct for your vehicle. A thorough tune-up performed by one of our technicians includes:

• Replacing the air filter
  
• Replacing the fuel filter(s).
• Installing new spark plugs and replacing any worn spark plug wires.
• Inspecting and installing a new distributor cap if one is needed.
• Inspecting and installing a new rotor if the old one has cracks, burning or carbon build-up.
• Inspecting the valve-cover gasket and adjusting the valves (on vehicles with adjustable valves).
• Checking and topping off all fluids.
• Checking the battery and cleaning the terminals.
• Replacing the Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve, if clogged.

ENGINE DIAGNOSTICS

Today's vehicles are equipped with highly sophisticated electronic engine control systems. The computer receives information from a network of sensors and switches that tells your ignition, fuel and emission control systems what to do. At the first sign of any engine problems, such as rough running, low fuel economy, failure to pass an emissions test or dashboard warning lights, be sure to get service as soon as possible. By tapping into your vehicle's computer, our technicians can check a multitude of engine components:

• Ignition system
• Anti-lock Brake System (ABS)
• Restraint systems
• Fuel injection system
• Emissions
• Electrical
