A vehicle engine is made up of hundreds of components all working together to ensure your car works efficiently. Over time, these components wear out, or lose that efficiency. This can result in a decrease in gas mileage, loss of power, the check engine light coming on, or the engine running roughly.
A properly tuned engine delivers the best efficiency, the best power, and the best performance. Most modern engines can automatically compensate for small variations in tune, but nothing gets an engine humming like an engine tune up, or inspection.
Today’s engines are run by a computer which controls everything from how much gas is used to how much air is allowed into the engine. This means you now need specialist equipment to diagnose and eliminate faults. All of Good Neighbor Tire & Auto Service facilities have the latest diagnostic equipment, and the qualified technicians to use it.
Depending on the condition of the car and manufacturer’s recommendations, a typical tune up will include some, or all of the following:
All of the parts we install are guaranteed to meet or exceed manufacturer standards. Nothing we do will affect your new vehicle warranty in any way. As well as engine tuning, Good Neighbor Tire & Auto Service’s auto repair center offers its customers other important services, such as:
As much as cars and trucks have changed over the years, the tune up has evolved alongside it. It’s no longer about manual diagnosis and adjustment, it’s all about computers. If you drive a recent model car, your engine is run by a computer. It controls almost every aspect of the engine, so that’s where a tune up needs to start.
Our expert technicians use state of the art diagnostic equipment to inspect the computer for faults or error codes in order to diagnose problems. This allows us to spot potential issues, check engine performance, and reset any warning lights that may have illuminated.
A standard tune-up, done at the suggested maintenance interval, will make an engine easier to start, improve fuel economy, lower emissions and restore lost power. With gas prices rising almost daily, fuel efficiency is more important now than ever before.
