A tune-up tailored to your specific vehicle

Modern engines do not need annual tune-ups like the cars from the 1980s did. Some manufacturers spec spark plugs at 60,000 miles, others at 100,000. We look up the actual recommended interval for your year/make/model and do what is needed — not a generic package.

If your engine is running fine but you are at the recommended mileage, we do the maintenance items. If something is off, we diagnose first so you know exactly what is wrong before paying for parts you may not need.

Tune-Up FAQ

Tune-up questions, answered

It depends on your specific vehicle — modern spark plugs last anywhere from 60,000 to over 100,000 miles depending on the manufacturer. We look up your year, make, and model's actual schedule instead of selling a one-size-fits-all package.
Rough idle, hesitation on acceleration, hard starts, a drop in fuel economy, or a check engine light with misfire codes. If the engine is running fine but you're at the recommended mileage, it's maintenance; if something feels off, we diagnose it first so you only pay for what's actually needed.
It varies more than most services because parts differ so much — some engines use four inexpensive plugs, others use eight iridium plugs behind an intake manifold. We give you a written quote for your exact vehicle before any work begins, and the price includes parts, labor, and our 1-year parts & labor warranty.
If the car runs fine and you're at the mileage interval, a tune-up covers it. If there's a specific problem — stalling, check engine light, poor performance — start with engine diagnostics so we treat the cause, not the symptom.
Most are done the same day, and simpler jobs in a couple of hours. Call (925) 685-0101 ahead so we can confirm parts for your engine are in stock.
