Modern engines can run a long time on neglected plugs and filters—but they won’t run well. A proper tune‑up restores lost horsepower, smooths idle, and saves fuel.
Signs you’re due
Hesitation or sluggish take‑offs
Rough idle or occasional stalls
Drop in fuel economy you can feel at the pump
Check‑engine light for misfire or “system too lean/rich” codes
Hard starts on cold mornings
One or two of these? Book a tune‑up before minor wear snowballs into pricey repairs.
