Tune Ups
Tarpon Springs, FL
With each engine comes a unique set of needs. Our Tarpon Springs expert auto technicians at Drenica Customs Auto & Performance will help you determine which tune-up service is right for your car, based on the vehicle's past use, service and typical driving conditions.Some things never change, such as the need for periodic preventive maintenance. But tune-ups are a job that has changed a great deal over the course of automotive history. The outdated term is still widely used by many people to describe a service procedure that is supposed to make an engine run better. For your car to get its best gas mileage and engine performance, it needs clean fuel injectors, air filters and fuel filters from our Tarpon Springs service station.
Plus, its spark plugs need to be in good condition. That is why we examine your vehicle's air filter when you stop in, and it is why we recommend you follow manufacturer recommendations for replacing key components like filters and spark plugs when they are past their prime. There is no absolute definition of what exactly all tune-ups should include, but most would agree that it involves replacing the spark plugs and performing other adjustments to maintain or restore like-new engine performance.
The problem is there is not much that can adjust under the hood on many late model vehicles in Tarpon Springs. Ignition timing is fixed and controlled by the engine computer, as is idle speed and the fuel mixture. You can still check base timing, idle speed and various emission functions to make sure everything is functioning within factory specs and are functioning properly. But there really is not much of anything left to tune. Yet many motorists still want tune-ups and believe that a tune-up is a very important and necessary service.
