Benefits of a Tune-Up
Many car owners ignore the manufacturer recommendation for regular maintenance, including the tune-up, and they do so at the cost of their own pocketbook. According to the EPA, some of the work associated with regular tune-ups can improve acceleration up to 11%, and can improve fuel economy up to 40%. With the price of gas being as volatile as it is, we could all use to save an additional 40% on our fuel bill!
In addition to improving operational efficiency, regular tune-ups can save you on more costly repairs as well. As your engine runs, parts tend to loosen and shift. During the tune-up these parts are checked, and adjusted as-needed to ensure you get the most life out of your engine. If your vehicle needs additional work completed due to worn out or faulty parts, you will receive a detailed estimate for the repairs at the time of your tune-up.
Toyota Certified Technicians
By visiting our Toyota dealership, you know that the work being completed is by certified automotive technicians that perform this kind of work every day. That means there is no guess work on what your car needs, nor any accidental repairs, because someone didn’t know how to perform the work appropriately. Our technicians are skilled at working on all makes and models, so there’s no need to worry about whether we can do the job properly.
Quality OEM Parts
The best parts to use are the one that were originally engineered and designed for your vehicle. These are called original equipment manufacturer parts, or OEM. This is different than what you get from your local auto parts store, which are known as aftermarket parts. When you get aftermarket parts, small changes have been made, and you may run into quality issues such as part failure or improper fitting. When you bring your vehicle to our dealership, you know you will only receive OEM parts, which will get you back on the road quickly, and keep you driving.
Ensure you’re never stranded, wishing you had paid more attention to regular maintenance. Bring your vehicle into our dealership for friendly, honest and trusted service that will give you peace of mind knowing you’ll be cruising for a long time to come.
