THE POWER OF A PROPER TUNE UP
 
 
We get several phone calls each week asking for about estimate for a tune up, but not whats included. Tune-up pricing can vary from shop to shop, usually based upon what work will be done. Manufacturers recommend tune - ups at different mileage. With newer vehicle the mileage is less frequent because the dealerships want to lake it appear that your nw vehicle will require less maintenance. Its all just smoke and mirrors to sell more cars. A vehicle that is kept properly tuned will perform better, run and idle better, get better fuel economy and release less pollutants. This will help save you money. 
 
A regular tune - up is like a medical exam, and is pretty much the same way your Doctor keeps you healthy by making sure you are in great shape. 
 
Vehicles can also vary on how many parts need to be replaced based upon the year, make and model. Some newer cars and trucks may only need the spark plugs replaced, whereas an older model may need spark plugs, pcv valve, ignition wires...etc. So pricing can vary. So when people call and ask for the price of a tune - up I will frequently ask, "what do you mean by "tune - up", and they caller almost never knows what they are asking for. It is important to know what your vehicle requires to keep running properly. Be informed. At One Stop Automotive we try and communicate vital information to our customers, as well as general information regarding their vehicles. When we perform a pre tune - up inspection, we include a scan of your vehicles computer to determine if there are any underlying issues that may need to be addressed now or can cause trouble down the road.

How to extend your vehicles battery life by doing regular maintenance:

It seems like every month we have a vehicle towed into our shop for a no start
condition due to a battery that has failed due to differed maintenance. So what can you
do to maintain and extend the life of your battery.


 We suggest customers bring there vehicles in at least every 6 months to have
vehicle health inspection performed which includes testing and inspection of the
battery.
 Ensure there is no corrosion present, battery terminals are tight, there is no
leakage present and the cold cranking amps are within spec.
 Always turn off lights and accessories when the vehicle is turned off.
 Make sure the battery has a secure hold down.
 Try to keep the battery in a cool place, heat kills batteries.
