A tune-up is generally recommended under the following conditions:
- Mileage Milestones: Most vehicles benefit from a tune-up every 30,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on the make and model. Check your owner’s manual for specific recommendations.
- Decreased Performance: If you notice a drop in fuel efficiency, rough idling, or sluggish acceleration, it might be time for a tune-up.
- Engine Warning Light: If the check engine light comes on, a tune-up may be necessary to diagnose and fix any underlying issues.
- Irregular Engine Sounds: Unusual noises like knocking or pinging can indicate the need for a tune-up.
- Difficulty Starting: If your vehicle is having trouble starting, it may need spark plug or ignition system maintenance.
- Recent Changes in Driving Conditions: If you’ve recently changed your driving habits (e.g., more stop-and-go traffic or harsh weather), consider a tune-up to ensure optimal performance.
Regular maintenance, including a tune-up, can help extend the life of your vehicle and improve its efficiency.
