Tune Ups at Dave & Ray’s

Dave & Ray’s performs comprehensive engine tune-ups tailored to your vehicle’s make, model, and mileage. A typical tune-up at our shop includes spark plug inspection and replacement, air filter replacement, fuel filter inspection and replacement, PCV valve inspection, distributor cap and rotor inspection (older vehicles), ignition wire inspection and replacement as needed, throttle body cleaning, fuel system cleaning, and a full engine diagnostic scan. We don’t perform a blanket replacement of every part. We inspect each component and replace only what’s needed, and we explain exactly what we found.

Does Your Car Need a Tune Up?

If your vehicle has become harder to start, feels sluggish on acceleration, gets noticeably worse gas mileage than it used to, idles roughly, or has a check engine light on, it may be due for a tune-up. Modern fuel-injected engines do not need tune-ups as frequently as older carbureted engines did, but key components still wear out on a predictable schedule. Most manufacturers recommend a tune-up every 30,000–100,000 miles depending on the type of spark plugs and parts used. If you cannot remember your last one, it is probably overdue. Watch for common warning signs such as:

• Hard or extended cranking when starting the engine
• Sluggish or hesitant acceleration when you press the gas
• Noticeably reduced fuel economy compared to your usual mileage
• Rough or unstable idling, including shaking or vibration at stoplights
• A persistent check engine light related to misfires or emissions
• Occasional engine misfires, sputtering, or lack of power under load
• Strong fuel smells or exhaust that seems unusually dirty or smoky

If you recognize any of these symptoms, a professional tune-up can restore performance, improve fuel economy, and help prevent more expensive repairs down the road.
