Lately, you may have noticed your car isn’t running like it used to. Perhaps it’s shuddering or making an odd noise while braking or accelerating, maybe it’s leaking fluid or emitting an odd smell.
As cars get older, normal wear and tear occurs, that is why it is especially important to maintain your vehicle according to manufacturer recommendations. An easy way to prevent future expensive repairs is to get an occasional car tune up.
How do you know your car is ready for a tune-up? AAMCO Utah can offer a multi point inspection that informs you of any issues in your vehicle. Don’t wait till a smaller problem gets bigger, schedule an appointment today.
You may need to replace your spark plugs if you find your car isn’t accelerating as quickly, isn’t getting as great mileage as previously or isn’t starting properly. Replacing spark plugs is relatively inexpensive and easy to fix if you bring your car in when you first start to notice these signs. Your check engine light may also illuminate if your spark plugs need replacing. AAMCO Utah can diagnose your spark plugs and help replace them so your car is back in tip top condition. Schedule a tune up today.
When the air filter is clogged, not enough air mixes with the gas in the combustion chambers. As a result, your car is running rich meaning you have too much gasoline and not enough air. Air filters should be changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles or every 3 years. If you don’t remember the last time your air filter was changed, no worries.
AAMCO Utah can put your car through a total car care diagnostic and see if your air filter needs replacing. Regular car tune ups can help prevent the build up of dirt and dust in your air filter. Schedule an AAMCO Utah appointment today.
If your check engine light is illuminated, there could be a problem with your car emissions. Check engine lights usually indicate something could be amiss with the air to fuel ratio, a faulty oxygen sensor, spark plugs, catalytic converter, ignition coil or airflow sensors.
The check engine light means your car is definitely in need of a tune up. AAMCO Utah can assist with your car’s tune up and perform a multi point inspection to see the cause of the check engine light. Don’t continue driving around with your check engine light, get it to a professional mechanic as soon as possible.
Regular tune ups for your car can extend the life and health of your car for years to come. Waiting until something breaks is more costly and frustrating than regular vehicle maintenance. Extend the life of your car and schedule a tune up with AAMCO Utah.
