What Does a Modern Tune-Up Include?

The meaning of “tune-up” has changed significantly over the years. Older vehicles often required regular ignition and mechanical adjustments. Modern vehicles use computer-controlled ignition and fuel systems, so a tune-up today usually means performing the maintenance appropriate for the specific vehicle.

Depending on the year, make, model, engine, mileage, service history and manufacturer schedule, service may include:

We'll recommend maintenance based on your vehicle—not a one-size-fits-all package.

Spark Plug Replacement

Spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture inside the engine. As they wear, the engine may require more voltage to fire properly and performance can begin to suffer.

Spark plug replacement intervals vary considerably by vehicle and plug type. We recommend following the maintenance schedule specified for your vehicle.

Signs Your Vehicle May Be Due for a Tune-Up

These symptoms do not automatically mean the vehicle simply needs a tune-up. Some can indicate a mechanical, ignition, fuel or electrical problem. If your vehicle has a drivability problem or warning light, diagnosis may be needed before recommending maintenance.

Does My Car Need a Tune-Up or a Diagnostic?

Routine maintenance and diagnosis are not the same thing. If your vehicle is running normally and is simply due for scheduled maintenance, a tune-up or preventive maintenance service may be appropriate.

If the vehicle is:

the correct first step may be a diagnostic evaluation rather than simply replacing maintenance parts.

Tune-Up FAQs

What is included in a tune-up?

There is no universal tune-up package. The appropriate service depends on the vehicle's year, make, model, engine, mileage, maintenance history and manufacturer schedule. A tune-up may include spark plugs, filters, inspections or other scheduled items when appropriate.

How often does my car need a tune-up?

Intervals vary significantly by vehicle and manufacturer. Check the vehicle maintenance schedule, or contact Proline with the year, make, model and mileage so we can help determine what may be due.

How often should spark plugs be replaced?

Spark plug replacement intervals vary considerably by vehicle and plug type. We recommend following the maintenance schedule specified for your vehicle.

Can a tune-up fix a check-engine light?

A check-engine light should be diagnosed. Overdue maintenance may be related in some situations, but replacing tune-up parts without first identifying the cause is not the right approach.

Can worn spark plugs cause a misfire?

Worn or damaged spark plugs can contribute to a misfire, but ignition coils, fuel delivery, electrical faults, mechanical problems and other issues can also cause one. Diagnosis may be needed.

Can a tune-up improve gas mileage?

Correcting overdue maintenance may help a vehicle operate as intended, but the result depends on its condition and the cause of any fuel-economy change. We do not promise a specific improvement.

How long does a tune-up take?

Timing depends on the vehicle, engine layout and services required. Contact us with your vehicle information for a more useful estimate.

Do I need a tune-up if my car runs fine?

Preventive maintenance is intended to address scheduled items before symptoms appear. Following the manufacturer recommendations can help keep the vehicle operating properly even when it seems to run normally.
