Vehicle Tune-Ups, Engine Diagnostics, and Repair
One of the wonders of the on-board computers in vehicles today is the close monitoring they do to let you know when something is not working correctly. Whether your engine has an issue that requires repair, your vehicle needs a tune-up, or there is just a faulty sensor, the computer in your vehicle will trigger the check engine light.

Signs Your Vehicle Needs Engine Repair or Service
Your vehicle is great about letting you know when something is not working properly through a series of complex warning lights and systems. However, there are some additional signs to watch out for that indicate that you need engine repair or a tune-up. In addition to an illuminated check engine light, some of the signals that your vehicle needs expert attention are:
- Rough idling: Rough idling could be an indicator that your spark plugs are burning out or the wiring has an issue.
- Delayed or failed ignition: There are a number of issues that could cause the engine to be slow to start or to fail ignition. Whether the cause is a faulty starter or bad wiring, it’s important to have a tune-up or repair when your vehicle has difficulty starting.
- Stalling out: This could be a sign that your alternator needs attention, or it could be several other issues that require engine repair.
- Strange noises: A knocking or loud banging noise is usually an indicator that something is not operating correctly in your engine.
- Decrease in fuel efficiency: If your engine is consuming higher amounts of fuel than usual, it is typically a sign that you need engine repair or tune-up.
- Loss of acceleration power: If you feel a lack or loss of power while accelerating, the most common cause is a clogged fuel filter or engine air filter. Clogged filters reduce combustibility within your engine and require repair.
Whether you are seeing any of these signals from your vehicle, or your check engine light is illuminated and the issue is not immediately apparent, our crew of auto pros can run a check engine light diagnostic, tune-up, or whatever engine repair you need.
Keep Up with Your Preventive Maintenance with Regular Tune-Ups
As a part of your regular maintenance, a periodic tune-up is necessary to keep your engine running well. Though a tune-up is not needed as often as you have your oil changes or tire services, a tune-up should be part of your regular routine. Depending on the age and type of your vehicle, you should look at a tune-up every 10,000 to 100,000 miles.
Consistently maintaining your engine can help prevent a major, more costly engine repair later on. It is much better to stay on top of regular maintenance than to have a costly engine repair from a preventable issue down the road.
What Is a Tune-Up?
A modern tune-up involves a full check and some minor engine repairs to keep your vehicle’s engine running smoothly. A tune-up from Goodguys Tires & Auto Repair will involve:
- Checking spark plugs

- Checking the engine air filter
- Check the engine light diagnostic
The purpose of a tune-up from Goodguys Tires & Auto Repair is to optimize your engine’s performance and keep everything running correctly. By letting our crew keep on top of your vehicle’s tune-up services, you can help prevent a major issue from occurring in the future.
