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.

Wanna Save at the Pump, and help Save the Environment at the same time!!!!

Gas prices are continuing to increase with no end in site. So, what do we do as
a consumer about these rising gas prices. The answer is, anything we can to help
save when it comes to filling our tank. If your not getting the manufacturers
recommend miles per gallon (mpg) out of your vehicle, here are some suggestions that
may help.
 
SLOW DOWN!! It seems like every morning I drive to work and there are
people driving by me at extreme speeds, just to get to the stop light a few seconds
faster. Then, what do you know, I pull right up next to them at the next light. By simply
slowing, down by 5 to 10 mph, you could increase your fuel economy by up 7 to 14%,
some studies suggest. Aggressive acceleration and braking also leads to a loss in fuel
economy.
 
Having recommended preventive maintenance performed on your vehicle is
essential in maintaining your vehicle’s maximum fuel economy. Ask yourself, when
was the last time I have done something other than just changing the oil? Regularly
servicing your other fluid based systems is also key in maintaining your vehicle’s
reliability and fuel economy. Simple things like replacing your spark plugs, or having a
fuel injection service performed can bring about drastic changes in your vehicle’s fuel
economy, as well as restoring so of that power that is has lost over the years.
 
Give us a call today so we can discuss your vehicle’s needed maintenance.
 
Maybe we can help save you a little coin at the pump, and get back some of that lost
fuel economy. Everyone would like a little help there these days, especially with the
holidays coming up.
