A car tune-up is a suite of preventive maintenance services performed on a vehicle to ensure it continues to perform well.
A tune-up typically includes replacing several important wear-and-tear parts, like the air filter, fuel filter, oxygen sensor, positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve, and spark plug wires. Spark plugs inspection and cleaning are a must. An oil change and oil filter change, tire rotation, cabin air filter, brake inspection, transmission fluid change, and coolant-system flush may also be on the agenda. Check Kelley Blue Book Maintenance Schedules or your owner’s manual for your manufacturer’s recommended service intervals for all systems.
