About This Service
A tune-up addresses the wear items in your engine's ignition and fuel delivery systems that affect performance and efficiency. Spark plugs, ignition coils, filters, and related components have service intervals — and when they're overdue, you'll notice it in fuel economy, performance, and reliability. At Sanchez Automotive, we follow manufacturer recommendations and only replace what actually needs attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does a car need a tune-up?
It depends on the vehicle and the type of spark plugs. Copper plugs may need replacement every 30,000 miles, while iridium or platinum plugs can last 60,000–100,000 miles. Check your owner's manual or ask us for your vehicle's specific interval.
Will a tune-up fix a rough idle?
A rough idle caused by worn spark plugs or ignition components can often be improved with a tune-up. However, a rough idle can also be caused by vacuum leaks, fuel injector problems, or other issues. We diagnose the cause first.
Can a tune-up improve fuel economy?
Yes. Worn spark plugs and dirty filters can reduce fuel efficiency. Replacing them at the recommended interval helps your engine run as efficiently as the manufacturer intended.
What's included in a tune-up?
A modern tune-up typically includes spark plug replacement, ignition system inspection, air filter replacement, and a general maintenance inspection. We'll recommend what's actually due based on your vehicle's mileage and condition.
