Signs Your Car Needs a Tune-Up
Knowing when your car needs a tune-up can save you from inconvenient breakdowns and expensive repairs. Here are some common indicators that your vehicle needs attention:
- Decreased Fuel Efficiency: If you notice that your car's fuel economy has taken a hit, it could be a sign that the engine is not running as efficiently as it should. This is often caused by dirty air filters, worn spark plugs, or fuel system issues that a tune-up can resolve.
- Rough Idling or Stalling: An engine that idles roughly or stalls frequently is a clear sign that something is amiss. These symptoms can be caused by various issues, including a clogged fuel injector or a failing ignition coil, which a professional tune-up can diagnose and fix.
- Unusual Noises: Strange noises coming from your engine, such as knocking, pinging, or hissing sounds, can indicate underlying problems. These noises are often a result of worn-out components that need to be replaced during a tune-up.

Tips for Maintaining Your Car Between Tune-Ups
Maintaining your car between tune-ups is essential. Here are some practical tips to help you do just that:

- Tire Maintenance: Properly inflated and rotated tires ensure better fuel efficiency and a smoother ride. Check your tire pressure monthly and have your tires rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles.
- Brake Checks: Your brakes are crucial for your safety. Listen for any unusual noises when braking and have your brakes inspected regularly to ensure they are in good condition.
