We pay special attention to the valve cover gaskets, as these gaskets create a seal between the valve cover and the engine block, preventing oil leaks and ensuring proper lubrication. Over time, valve cover gaskets can become worn or damaged, leading to oil seepage and potential engine issues. We carefully inspect the valve cover gaskets and, if necessary, advise to replace them. This helps maintain the integrity of the engine’s oil system, prevents oil leaks, and promotes optimal engine performance.
The ignition system plays a crucial role in starting your engine and maintaining its performance. During the tune up, we thoroughly inspect the ignition system components, including ignition coils, ignition wires, and distributor cap (if applicable), to ensure proper operation and address any issues.
The fuel system is responsible for delivering the correct amount of fuel to the engine for combustion. Our technicians inspect the fuel injectors, fuel lines, and fuel filters to ensure proper fuel flow and address any potential clogs or leaks that can affect engine performance.
A clean and efficient air filter is essential for optimal engine performance and fuel economy. As part of the tune-up, we inspect the air filter and replace it if necessary to ensure proper air intake and prevent debris from entering the engine.
Over time, the throttle body can accumulate carbon deposits, affecting airflow and engine response. During the tune up, we perform a thorough cleaning of the throttle body, ensuring smooth operation and improved throttle response.
Our technicians check and adjust the engine’s timing and idle settings to optimize performance and ensure smooth operation at various engine speeds.
Over time, dirt, sludge, and other impurities can accumulate inside the engine, hindering its performance and efficiency, so we perform an engine flush to remove these built-up contaminants and deposits within the engine. Our specialized engine flush process involves using a high-quality cleaning solution to safely and effectively flush out these harmful deposits, restoring the engine’s cleanliness and promoting smoother operation. Engine flushing helps improve lubrication, reduce friction, and optimize fuel consumption.
By choosing our engine tune up services, you can experience improved engine performance, enhanced fuel efficiency, and a smoother, more responsive driving experience.

A tune up can optimize fuel combustion and efficiency, helping you save on fuel costs. During the engine tune up process, our technicians will inspect and clean the fuel injectors, replace any clogged or dirty fuel filters, and ensure that the air-fuel mixture is properly balanced.
If your vehicle feels sluggish or lacks power when accelerating, it may indicate issues with fuel delivery, ignition, or engine components. A tune-up can address these issues, restoring your engine’s power and responsiveness. We will inspect and clean the throttle body, replace worn-out spark plugs, and ensure that the ignition system is functioning optimally. Additionally, they will check for any air intake restrictions and address any potential vacuum leaks.
Engine misfires occur when the air-fuel mixture fails to ignite properly in one or more cylinders. Misfires can result from various causes, including worn spark plugs, ignition system problems, or fuel system issues. A tune-up can identify and resolve these issues, reducing the frequency of engine misfires. We will perform a thorough inspection of the spark plugs, ignition coils, and fuel injectors to ensure proper operation, and also check for any vacuum leaks or sensor malfunctions that could contribute to misfires.
An engine that idles roughly or stalls frequently can be a sign of underlying problems, such as a malfunctioning idle control valve, clogged fuel injectors, or ignition system issues. A tune-up can address these issues, improving the engine’s stability at idle and preventing stalling. Our technicians will inspect and clean the throttle body, check the idle control valve, and ensure that the fuel injectors are delivering the correct amount of fuel. They will also examine the ignition system components and adjust the engine’s idle speed if necessary.
