5 Signs Your Car Needs a Tune-Up ASAP
Regular maintenance is essential for keeping your car running smoothly.
Here are five signs your vehicle might need a tune-up from Alternative Automotive.
1. Decreased Fuel Efficiency
If you notice you're visiting the gas station more frequently, it might be time for a tune-up. Poor fuel efficiency can be caused by dirty air filters, old spark plugs, or a clogged fuel injector.
2. Rough Idling or Stalling
Your car should run smoothly when idling. If it’s stalling or idling roughly, there may be issues with the spark plugs, fuel system, or idle speed.
3. Unusual Noises
Strange noises like knocking, pinging, or squealing can indicate serious problems. These sounds often point to engine issues that need immediate attention.
4. Warning Lights
Dashboard warning lights are your car’s way of signaling that something is wrong. If you see the check engine light or other alerts, don’t ignore them.
5. Poor Performance
A decrease in power, acceleration, or general performance indicates your car needs a check-up. It could be due to various issues such as clogged filters, faulty sensors, or worn-out parts
Conclusion
Recognizing these signs early can save you from costly repairs down the road. If your car is showing any of these symptoms, schedule a tune-up with Alternative Automotive today. Keeping your vehicle in peak condition ensures a safer and smoother ride.
