If you’ve ever put off your annual check-up at the doctor because you didn’t have time, you know how expensive it can be to neglect preventive maintenance. It’s the same with your car.
While it may be tempting to keep putting off that automotive tune-up, this neglect can really end up costing you over the long-term.
Here are the reasons you should schedule a tune-up for your car as soon as possible.
Prevent Or Delay Major Repairs
Engine failure or other types of major repairs can cost you dearly. But getting your car tuned up regularly by a professional can prevent that. The cost of a tune-up is much less than replacing your engine. All your systems will be carefully examined, and any necessary repairs can be made on the spot. Another benefit: you’ll be able to avoid losing time and money by breaking down in the middle of your commute.
Improve Fuel Economy
We all know that fuel isn’t getting any cheaper. But getting a tune-up can ensure that your vehicle is running at peak fuel efficiency, saving you money at the gas pump. In fact, the research shows that a tune-up can save you 4% on gas. And if you have bad spark plugs that need replacing, that alone can save you 30% on gas mileage.
Fix Small Problems
As long as our car still gets us where we need to go, we tend to neglect small problems until they become big. A standard tune-up addresses all those little issues that you aren’t even thinking of, like wires, spark plugs, filters, etc. An oil change is usually part of the deal, too.
