Vehicle tune-ups from Master AutoTech Tooele help you get more life out of your vehicle. Whether you drive long distances for work or stay closer to home, it’s important to have your vehicle inspected and systems tuned up routinely.
How Often Should You Get a Tune Up?
The frequency of tune-ups depends on several factors, including your vehicle’s age, make and model, driving habits, and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Our technicians and mechanics do recommend you refer to your owner’s manual for the specific maintenance schedule recommended for your vehicle.
However, there are some general guidelines when it comes to how often your car or truck should get a tuneup.
Older Vehicles: Older vehicles with non-electronic ignition systems typically require tune-ups more frequently, usually every 10,000 to 12,000 miles or annually.
Newer Vehicles: Modern vehicles with electronic ignition and fuel injection systems often have longer service intervals, ranging from 25,000 to 100,000 miles.
Severe Driving Conditions: If you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, tow heavy loads, or operate your vehicle in extreme weather conditions, you might need more frequent tune-ups.
WHAT IS CHECKED DURING A TUNE UP?
During a vehicle tune-up at Master AutoTech in Tooele, our skilled technicians perform a comprehensive inspection and service of your vehicle’s essential systems to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. We’ll typically check and replace spark plugs, inspect and adjust ignition wires, check and replace air and fuel filters, inspect and clean the throttle body, and check the PCV valve.
