Spring Tune-Up at Nissan of Albertville

Nissan of Albertville, it’s springtime which is one of the best times of the year to have your car or truck tuned up and inspected. Newer autos with less than 70,000 miles should get tuned up yearly. Vehicles with higher mileage should get tuned up every 6 months.

During winter, your car works hard on every small trip. It has to blast over potholes, spin and slide through snow and ice, and endure frigid temperatures that can cause substandard performance. It can also cause damage to different components of your car that affect performance, like the braking system, exhaust system, chassis, and more.

When springtime hits, your car is more than ready for a thorough tune-up and inspection. Our friendly mechanics will carefully look over your car while performing the tune-up to find any damaged or malfunctioning components. They’ll report what they find to you and make recommendations to get it back to proper.

So, let’s dive in and review what standard tune-ups include, why springtime is the tune-up season, which complementary services make sense to have completed along with a tune-up, and the various benefits associated with having routine tune-ups following or exceeding the manufacturer’s recommendation. 

Team One Nissan Albertville Tune-Up Services
Modern automobile engines are made up of various components that work in unison to maximize fuel efficiency and performance. If any of those components are malfunctioning, it throws off the entire equation, causing the vehicle to burn through more gas, pollute the atmosphere more, run poorly, and cost more to operate and insure.

What is a tune-up?
A tune-up is a set of preventative maintenance services that enhance performance and safety. Tune-ups are different for different vehicles. As each vehicle is unique in age, condition, wear-and-tear, and manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations, each tune-up is a unique endeavor.

However, a “standard” tune-up typically includes:

• Replacing the fuel and air filters
• Ensuring that the engine timing is proper
• Changing out the spark plugs and their wires
• Replacing the rotor and distributor cap when applicable
• However, it’s important to note that modern vehicles are equipped much differently than the golden days when “tune-up” referred to the process of making necessary adjustments to the electrical system and carburetor. Today, “tuning up” a vehicle can mean a lot of different things.

In addition to servicing the ignition and carburetor systems, a tune-up can include:

• Ensuring proper tire inflation, rotation, and balancing
• Checking & making necessary transmission repairs
• Checking and servicing the air conditioning system
• Checking hoses and belts for excessive wear
• Checking the wheel bearings & alignment
• Sealing up leaky gas or radiator caps
• Changing the oil & oil filter
• Topping off all the fluids
• Checking the battery
  A springtime tune-up helps to ensure that your car or truck is running at peak performance levels after a long, hard winter. Just like us, your vehicle performs better when all of its different systems are functioning in unison.
