People who drive cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs know that if they want the vehicle to last a long time, they must keep up the maintenance on the vehicle. Sometimes, people will take the vehicle to the dealer for maintenance and tuning, but that can be a costly visit. A vendor of auto parts and one who works on performance autos provides Auto Tuning Service in Tempe AZ for customers in the area. Here are some things customers may want to know about getting their automobile tuned up.
About Auto Tune-ups
Every vehicle will need a major tune-up every so often, at least once a year if not more, and the customer who is getting one should know all that should be done. Many people know that the spark plugs will have to be cleaned or replaced, but in older vehicles, this will also include the distributor, points, and the rotor. The air filter will probably be replaced, as will the PCV valve, all the hoses, belts, the fuel filter, and all the fluids will be changed or topped off.
More about Tune-ups
In some cars, mechanics also check on the ignition timing, the idle mixture, and the idle speed, unless, of course, the vehicle has electronic ignition. Vehicle owners will want other areas not typically checked such as the brake pads, brake shoes, the air conditioner, and the compressor. This is to ensure the car will stop properly and not have too much air in the brake line. If there is air in the lines, the brakes will have to be bled. In the air conditioner, Freon might need to be replaced, which also indicates leakage somewhere in the air conditioner system.
