Get Your Engine Running at Peak Performance

If your vehicle has been feeling sluggish, stalling, or consuming more fuel than usual, it might be time for a tune-up. Regular tune-ups help maintain engine efficiency, extend the life of vital components, and prevent unexpected breakdowns. 81-40 Auto Service offers professional tune-up services tailored to your vehicle’s needs to keep it running smoothly and reliably.



Why Tune-Ups Matter

Over time, essential engine components wear down, fuel efficiency decreases, and performance declines. A tune-up helps restore your vehicle’s power, improve fuel economy, and ensure reliability. Ignoring routine maintenance can lead to costly repairs down the road.


Signs You Need a Tune-Up

  • Warning lights – Dashboard lights indicate potential problems that need attention.
  • Stalling – If your car suddenly stalls at intersections or when accelerating, it’s time for a check-up.
  • Hard starts – Struggling to start your vehicle can point to battery, ignition, or fuel system issues.
  • Poor fuel mileage – A sudden drop in fuel efficiency signals engine inefficiency or maintenance needs.
  • Soft or noisy brakes – Squeaky, vibrating, or unresponsive brakes should be inspected immediately.
  • Unusual engine noises – Knocking, rattling, or misfiring can indicate worn or failing components.
  • Rough shifting – A transmission that hesitates, shifts roughly, or delays requires attention.
  • Sluggish acceleration – A lack of power can point to ignition, fuel, or airflow issues.
  • Vibrations while driving – Unexplained vibrations could be caused by worn spark plugs, bad motor mounts, or failing components.


What’s Included in a Tune-Up?

  • Engine diagnostics and performance evaluation.
  • Spark plug and ignition component replacement.
  • Air and fuel filter inspection and replacement.
  • Fuel system cleaning and injector service.
  • Throttle body and intake manifold cleaning.
  • Fluid checks and top-ups to maintain proper engine lubrication.
  • Ignition system inspection and necessary adjustments.


Keeping Up with Your Vehicle’s Maintenance Schedule

Modern vehicles can go longer between tune-ups, with manufacturer recommendations ranging from 30,000 to 100,000 miles for major services. However, regular maintenance and early diagnosis of performance issues can prevent costly repairs and keep your vehicle running at its best.
