Professional maintenance and service to keep your vehicle performing at its best.

Is Your Vehicle Due for a Tune-Up?
Sometimes the signs are obvious. Sometimes it’s simply time for scheduled maintenance.
You don’t have to wait until your vehicle starts running poorly to have it serviced. Many tune-up items are part of regular preventative maintenance and are best handled according to the schedule recommended for your vehicle.
There are also changes you may notice while driving:
Rough or inconsistent idling
Difficulty starting
Reduced acceleration or performance
Increased fuel consumption
Hesitation while accelerating
Engine misfires
Check engine or other warning lights
Your vehicle has reached a scheduled maintenance interval
If something has changed in the way your vehicle runs, we can investigate the cause. If everything feels normal and you’re simply due for maintenance, we can help determine which services are appropriate for your vehicle and mileage.
What Does a Tune-Up Include?
Today’s tune-ups are specific to the vehicle, not a standard package.
The traditional tune-up has changed considerably as vehicle technology has evolved. Modern engines use electronic ignition, computer-controlled systems and components designed to last much longer than those found in older vehicles.
Depending on the make, model, mileage and maintenance history, tune-up service may include:
Spark plug inspection and replacement
Ignition system inspection and service
Air filter replacement
Fuel system inspection and service
Belt and hose inspection
Fluid checks
Battery and charging system checks
Inspection of other scheduled maintenance items
Rather than replacing parts based on a generic tune-up checklist, we look at the maintenance requirements for your vehicle along with its current condition and service history.
That gives us a much better picture of what is actually due and helps keep routine maintenance organized as the vehicle accumulates mileage.

Preventative Maintenance Pays Attention to the Details
Regular service gives you a better picture of what’s happening under the hood.
A tune-up is an opportunity to take care of scheduled maintenance while also checking the condition of components that affect how your vehicle starts, runs and performs.
Staying current with maintenance can help maintain fuel efficiency and engine performance, while giving technicians an opportunity to spot wear, leaks or other developing concerns during regular service visits.
For vehicles that cover a lot of kilometres, including work and fleet vehicles, keeping maintenance consistent also makes it easier to plan service rather than waiting for a problem to interrupt the day.

Tune-Up FAQs
-
There isn’t one standard tune-up that applies to every modern vehicle. Service can include spark plugs, filters, ignition components, fluid checks and other scheduled maintenance depending on the vehicle and mileage.
-
The appropriate interval depends on your vehicle and its manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule. Some components can last considerably longer than others, which is why mileage and service history are important when determining what is due.
-
If worn or overdue maintenance components are affecting engine performance, servicing them may help the vehicle operate more efficiently. Poor fuel economy can also have other causes, so a noticeable change may warrant further diagnosis.
-
Possibly. Many maintenance items are intended to be serviced at recommended intervals rather than waiting for symptoms to appear. Checking your maintenance schedule is the best way to determine what may be due.
-
Yes. Winn Automotive services vehicles across a wide range of model years. The work involved will vary because maintenance requirements and engine technology differ significantly between older and newer vehicles.
