Your engine needs a precise mix of fuel, air, and spark to run correctly. Unfortunately, the parts in charge of those areas wear out over time, resulting in engine tune-up services in Springfield, OH. In the past, cars with non-electric ignitions needed tune-ups every 10,000 miles, but modern vehicles can go up to 100,000 miles before needing this service. You must complete each tune-up on time no matter how long the service interval to keep your engine running strong.
When you bring your car into our auto repair shop for an engine tune-up, your mechanic will perform a full inspection, and then:
Whenever you get your oil changed, it’s also essential to have your tires rotated. Beyond that, you may also want to get a wheel alignment to keep your tires tracking together and wearing evenly.
When you come in on time for an engine tune-up service, you avoid problems related to weak spark, inadequate fuel delivery, and low airflow, resulting in the following benefits:
In addition, performing maintenance at the ideal service intervals helps prevent major Springfield, OH engine repairs.
With the ideal air/fuel ratios and vital spark, your engine can burn off all its fuel without going too rich or lean. Excess carbon and unburnt fuel can foul the spark plugs, clog the catalytic converter, and cause many other potentially costly issues if the engine runs too rich. On the other hand, a lean engine increases friction, accelerates wear and allows heat to build to catastrophic levels.
Thankfully, timely engine tune-ups help optimize the air, fuel and spark to avoid rich and lean conditions. You just have to come in at the interval set by your car manufacturer to keep your engine running at peak efficiency.
