Automotive Tune-Ups

Every vehicle needs regular tune-up procedures to ensure all the systems are healthy, no components are broken, all the fluids are properly topped off, the engine oil is clean and more. Regular maintenance ensures your car is performing at its best. But if you don’t schedule regular inspections, your car, van, truck or SUV may be in trouble. Call Team Automotive today to schedule a tune-up and one of our certified mechanics will take a look under the hood, at your wheel alignment, exhaust system and more.

It doesn’t matter what you drive, most systems are the same. They all contain similar components and have similar ways of indicating there’s something wrong. Here is a list of common problems all gas-powered vehicles face:

• Check engine light on
• Air conditioner stops working
• Car won’t start
• Serpentine belt squeals
• Hoses crack/leak
• Engine overheats
• Coolant leaks
• Difficulty turning
• Burning or strong oil smell
• Strong vibrations while in Drive
• Rattling under hood
• Misfires
• Low oil pressure
• Bumpy ride
• Balding tires
• Squealing tires
• Blown fuse

When your vehicle starts displaying signs that something is wrong, don’t hesitate to call Team Automotive to schedule an inspection. The common symptoms described above reveal problems with your engine, tires, cooling system, radiator, electrical system, alignment, oil, drivelines and more. One of our car mechanics will take a look at your vehicle and will recommend the best way to repair broken parts, replace anything from spark plugs to fuel filters. During your car tune-up, they will also inspect everything from brake pads and engine performance to tire alignment and the ignition timing.

Servicing your vehicle involves a close inspection of the engine for parts that may need to be cleaned, repaired or replaced. We’ll also check your car fluids, such as coolant and oil levels, and we’ll ensure those liquids don’t need to be flushed. Team Automotive also inspects your exhaust system to ensure nothing is getting too old or is wearing down or broken, which includes air filters, spark plug wires, your brakes and the cooling system. We’ll even lift your car to inspect the alignment or rotate your tires.

Tune-ups don’t have to happen every week, just consider the age of your vehicle. If it’s pre-1970s, you should get a tune-up every 10,000 miles. Many newer cars can go between 30,000 and 50,000 miles before they require an inspection, though some manufacturers recommend one car or truck tune-up every 100,000 miles. If you’re not sure how often you should schedule an inspection, call Team Automotive and one of our master technicians can help answer all your questions.
