Tune Ups & Maintenance
Buying a car is one of the biggest financial decisions you will make in your lifetime. With that being said, you’ll want to keep up with the maintenance of your car to help extend its life and maintain its performance. As you put more wear and tear on your car through the years, different parts will need to be serviced or replaced. To ensure your car continues to perform well, a regularly scheduled car tune-up and routine car maintenance check are essential. At Bachman’s Auto Repair, our preventative maintenance plan for your car is extensive and often includes services like spark plug replacements, new engine filters, and fluid changes, as well as hose and belt replacements and repairs.
Scheduling Maintenance and a Tune-Up
If you’re wondering when you should schedule your tune-up, it’s a good idea to look to your owner’s manual for guidance. Here, you can find the manufacturer’s recommendations for your specific car model on when a tune-up service should be scheduled. If you can’t locate it, the general rule of thumb is to bring your car in for service at least once a year. Certain parts, like spark plugs, don’t necessarily need to be replaced every year. Other car parts, like the air filter, will need to be replaced at least once per year. Putting off your regularly scheduled tune-ups can lead to unnecessary issues and costly repairs. For example, ignoring an air filter replacement can lead to your engine running rich or lean, meaning it’s getting too much fuel and not enough air. This can result in loss of power, your car running roughly or offensive smells coming from the exhaust.
The Obvious Benefits of Tune-Up and Maintenance
The benefits far outweigh the negatives when you take your car to get regular maintenance. With regular tune-ups, you will see a noticeable boost in engine performance, (like easier to start) improved fuel economy, less chance of a breakdown and it will greatly reduce the cost of other repairs.
