Your Local Auto Tune Up: Not All Made Equal

(Newswire.net — May 16, 2014) Aurora, Colorado — Pretty much every auto repair shop in Aurora, and probably all across the country, advertises tune ups. Unfortunately, most offer very little info regarding what a “tune up” actually involves or why you should get one. Most people operate their vehicles until something major comes up, but I wanted to be proactive. Before handing my hard earned cash over to a repair shop when I’m not having any problems with my vehicle, I wanted to learn exactly where my dollars were going and how investing in tune ups would benefit me in the long run. I set out to investigate what tune ups in Aurora were all about.

I learned that basically, a tune up refers to the scheduled maintenance on a vehicle. In my research, I found that most shops include checking spark plugs, spark plug wires, tire pressure, brakes and fluids in the cost of a standard tune up. The exact details of what a tune up involves varies a bit from shop to shop, and some don’t seem very willing to discuss the exact steps involved and why I should even get a tune up. Other shops, though, like a gem I discovered in Aurora, Tune Tech Automotive, go above and beyond the basics. In addition to the standard run of the mill tune up, they also test the vehicle’s battery and inspect the belts and exhaust system. They were also willing to help me learn exactly why my car needs regular tune ups, which as a consumer, I feel is important.

As much as I don’t want to spend money on my car when I’m not having a problem, I really don’t want to have to fork out thousands of dollars when a problem does pop up. After speaking with the mechanics at this auto repair shop in Aurora, I realized that spending a little bit here and there on tune ups can save me a lot of money in the long run by catching potential problems before they turn into major issues.

In addition to avoiding costly problems, regular tune ups are also a good way to save money every single day. During a tune up, the mechanic checks my tire pressure and the overall condition of my tires. When my tires are in good condition and properly inflated, it improves my fuel economy, saving me money at the gas pump.

While every shop in Aurora offers tune ups, they don’t all go to the lengths that the certified mechanics at Tune Tech Automotive do to make sure that every vehicle that enters the shop leaves running at its peak performance. Rather than just checking the basics, they carefully inspect every inch of the vehicle to ensure comfort, maximum fuel efficiency and, most importantly, safety. The mechanics at Tune Tech Automotive are some of the most professional and helpful that I have met, and I am glad to entrust my vehicle to them, whether it be for the ubiquitous tune up, or a more major repair.
