Even the best vehicles degrade over time due to normal wear-and-tear from routine driving and the environment. A tune-up is a maintenance service focused on the health and performance of the engine. The engine is often referred to as the "heart of a vehicle" due to the significant role it plays in vehicle operation. The engine impacts vehicle performance, efficiency, and longevity. Tune-ups involve a comprehensive inspection of the engine and the replacement or adjustment of engine components. Engine tune-ups typically cover spark plugs, ignition timing (on older vehicles), fuel injectors, and air-fuel mixtures.

At NEW ENGLAND TIRE Car Care Centers serving Attleboro, MA; Northborough, MA; Seekonk, MA; Warwick, RI; Mansfield, MA; and surrounding areas, we provide maintenance services like tune-ups that extend the life of your vehicle while protecting your engine's most vulnerable and integral parts from deterioration and decay! It is recommended that the majority of vehicle owners visit their mechanic for a tune-up every 30,000 miles, or as needed.

Consequences of Skipping Maintenance Services:

Engine tune-ups and other routine maintenance, like oil changes, can help you keep your vehicle at its best, preventing concerns like:

• Poor fuel economy
• Reduced Efficiency
• Misfires
• Minor electrical issues
• Ventilation concerns

Tune-ups allow technicians to catch issues at a early state, before they impact your vehicle's performance to a higher degree or cause other concerns. Without tune-ups, worn spark plugs, dirty fuel injectors, and malfunctioning sensors can go unnoticed, resulting in decreased fuel efficiency, rough idling, and increased emissions. Regular tune-ups help maintain proper engine function.
