Tune-Ups
A tune-up is essential to vehicle maintenance. It helps prevent problems, while identifying and replacing worn parts. Maintaining a regular tune-up schedule will help your vehicle last longer, as well as get better gas mileage and performance. Most vehicles require regularly scheduled tune-ups around every 30,000 miles. Check your vehicle's owner's manual to see if this is correct for your vehicle. A thorough tune-up performed by a technician at American Tire Company includes:
- Replacing the air filter
- Replacing the fuel filter(s)
- Installing new spark plugs and replacing any worn spark plug wires
- Inspecting and installing a new distributor cap if one is needed
- Inspecting and installing a new rotor if the old one has cracks, burning or carbon build-up
- Inspecting the valve-cover gasket and adjusting the valves (on vehicles with adjustable valves)
- Checking and topping off all fluids
- Checking the battery and cleaning the terminals
- Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve replaced, if clogged
