Pick Up and Delivery – Essential Element in Customer Service
A Tune-up provides preventative maintenance, while identifying and replacing worn parts. They ensure that your vehicle will operate at optimal conditions by maintaining the ideal conditions for normal car operation.
Neglecting these basic tasks could result in low gas mileage and damage to critical engine components.
Most cars require regularly scheduled tune-ups around every 30,000 Klms, and major maintenance at 60,000 miles. Some newer vehicles may not even require a tune-up until 100,000 Klms! Check with your manufacturer or contact one of our technician for what is correct for your vehicle. Call us on 03 9584 3232.
- Replacing the air filter.
- Replacing the fuel filter(s).
- Installing new spark plugs and replacing any worn spark plug wires.
- Inspecting and installing a new distributor cap if one is needed.
- Inspecting and installing a new rotor if the old one has cracks, burning and carbon.
- Inspecting the valve-cover gasket and adjusting the valves (if your car has adjustable valves).

In addition, cars built prior to 1979 have additional requirements. Cars without an electronic ignition require changing the points and condenser. Cars with electronic ignition should have the timing checked.
Fuel-injected cars need to have the throttle plate cleaned and/or adjust the air-fuel mixture. Cars with carburetors may need additional adjustments.
Maintaining a regular tune-up schedule will ensure your car’s longer life, better gas mileage and performance.
