Complete Tune-Up Services at A&A Automotive

Our tune-up services are designed to improve engine performance, fuel efficiency, and long-term reliability.

Our Tune-Up Services Include:

Engine Performance Evaluation: We assess how your engine is running and identify any performance concerns affecting drivability or efficiency.
Spark Plug Inspection & Replacement: Worn or fouled spark plugs can cause misfires, poor fuel economy, and hard starting. We inspect and replace spark plugs as needed.
Ignition System Inspection: Coils, wires, and related ignition components are checked to ensure consistent spark and proper combustion.
Air Filter Replacement: A restricted air filter limits airflow and reduces performance. Replacing it helps restore proper engine breathing.
Fuel System Inspection: We inspect fuel delivery components for issues that may affect acceleration or engine response.
Throttle Body Inspection: Carbon buildup can interfere with airflow and idle quality. We check for signs of restriction or contamination.
Diagnostic Scan (When Needed): If warning lights or performance issues are present, we perform diagnostic testing to identify underlying problems.
