When to Tune-Up.

It’s a question that vehicle owners in North Carolina need to know.  How often does your car need a tune-up?  If you are driving an older model around Raleigh you need a tune-up every 30,000 to 45,000 miles.  In modern cars, a "tune-up" is a major service that includes an oil change, replacement of an engine air filter, spark plugs and possibly a few additional items.

Spark plugs provide an electric spark to initiate combustion in your engine, so if the spark plugs are fouled-up or worn out, your engine won't run properly.  There are two types of spark plugs…conventional and long-life. Those long-life platinum-tipped spark plugs can last for 50,000-120,000 miles.

A tune-up is just one of the myriad of automotive services provided by Jim’s Auto Repair.  Jim and his exceptional crew have been keeping Raleigh drivers on the road for decades.  For any repair job on your vehicle foreign or domestic trust Jim’s Auto Repair.  They are located at 3711 Tarheel Dr.  Call ahead at (919) 824-4566.
