Six reasons why Spring is the perfect time to schedule a tune-up for your vehicle
Much like the annual spring ritual of moving our clocks forward to save the daylight hour, it’s also a good reminder to schedule a tune up. There is nothing better in prolonging the life of your vehicle than establishing a regular maintenance schedule.
To help with your vehicle journey, here are a few items outlining the overall benefits of a consistent preventative maintenance program:
RELATED: Regular maintenance is key for the longevity of your vehicle’s transmission
IMPROVED ENGINE PERFORMANCE: When you schedule a tune-up, it’s an opportunity to correct any performance-based trouble with your ignition system, fuel system or air intake. Regular tune-ups also ensure that your engine is running efficiently with the correct air and fuel mixtures, improving efficiency and reducing emissions.
INCREASED FUEL EFFICIENCY: When you optimize fuel systems and drivetrain adjustments, your vehicle runs smoother and is more efficient, while increasing fuel conservation. Not only is it saving you money, it’s better for the environment.
EXTENDED ENGINE LIFE: Regular tune-ups can help extend the life of your vehicle’s engine. A consistent maintenance schedule can catch trouble areas early, reducing the risk of costly repairs in the future.

IMPROVED SAFETY: A tune-up ensures that your vehicle’s safety features are properly functioning, including areas such as brakes, steering and external lighting. Regular preventative maintenance can address these problems early, before becoming a risk factor for you and your family.
INCREASED RELIABILITY: Catching signs of mechanical trouble early can increase the reliability of your vehicle. This also reduces the risks of breaking down during your morning commute or summer vacation plans, as well as give you and your family peace of mind.
BETTER RESALE VALUE: Well-maintained vehicles have a higher re-sale value, especially over similar vehicles with deferred maintenance or show neglect. Regular tune-ups and preventative maintenance demonstrates to potential buyers your vehicle is serviced and reliable, providing peace of mind for the new owner.
