FAQ

What do I get from a tune-up special?

A fixed bundle of parts at a set price, which is fine if your car is due for exactly those parts. It is not a repair. If the engine is running badly, ask for the fault to be diagnosed first, because a package deal that does not touch the real cause is money spent twice.

Can I change the plugs myself?

On some engines yes, on others the intake manifold comes off first and half the day goes with it. Plugs need the right gap and a torque wrench, because an overtightened plug in an aluminum head is a very expensive mistake. Look up your engine before you buy the parts.

How often should this be done?

Go by the manual for the plugs and filters rather than by the calendar or a coupon. Beyond that, let the car tell you. Rough idle, hesitation, harder starting or economy sliding are the signals worth acting on, and none of them arrive on a schedule.
