Tune Ups

Full-Service Auto Tune-Ups

A big part of vehicle ownership is properly maintaining your vehicle. One thing that almost every owner should be used to is taking their vehicle in for a regularly scheduled tune-up! These tune-ups give technicians a chance to repair and replace the components in your vehicle that are suffering from wear-and-tear. From brake pad replacement or a wheel alignment, the tune-up gives your vehicle a chance to get properly readjusted, just like if you visited a chiropractor.

Signs You Need a Tune-Up

The best way to avoid any serious problems to your vehicle is to ensure it follows a routine tune-up schedule. By following this schedule, it allows our technicians to prevent problems that typically occur due to wear-and-tear. This also gives them an opportunity to catch any minor problems and fix them before they worsen. If you’re not following a schedule, don’t worry, there are warning signs you can look out for. By staying aware, you’ll be able to prevent any major, and expensive, problems from occurring!

Brake Wear

Signs of brake wear come in many shapes and forms, with the most common signs being a spongy brake pedal and strange sounds such as squeaking, squealing, or grinding. If you notice any sign of brake wear, it’s important to have your vehicle serviced right away. Without properly functioning brakes, every drive you have will be a dangerous one that could lead to severe consequences.

Vibrations/Shaking

If you notice minor or major shaking when you drive your vehicle, your vehicle may be knocked off alignment. The vibrations are typically caused when the wheels of your vehicle aren’t properly angled and working against each other. By visiting our shop, we’ll be able to quickly realign your wheels and get rid of the pesky rumbling. If left unattended, it could make operating your vehicle a lot more difficult and dangerous!

Delayed Movement

When you are operating your transmission system, the gears should shift smoothly and accurately. If you notice that there is a slight hitch or hesitation when you are shifting gears, that is a clear sign that something is wrong with your transmission system. Manual drivers will notice this when they are shifting gears in general, while automatic drivers will notice this during their shift from “Park” to “Drive.”
