Engine Diagnostics

What Can We Do For an Engine Tune-Up?

When you schedule a tune-up, you can expect multiple inspections, replacements, or both. An engine tune-up can mean swapping out your battery, getting a new serpentine belt, changing a filter, or more!

Battery Check

The last thing any driver wants is to wait by the side of the street for a jump, so when you schedule an engine tune-up, our staff will test the strength of your battery, inspect it for corrosion, or replace it so your car has the charge it needs to tackle any trip!

Belt, Hoses, and Caps

Worn-out belts and hoses can lead to unexpected breakdowns, leaving you liable for expensive repair bills. Our technicians can inspect your belts for fraying or cracks, your hoses for leaks, and your caps for a tight fit, among other things, so you're not stranded on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck!

Spark Plug Replacement

Many drivers schedule the replacement of old spark plugs, as worn-out ones can lead to motor misfiring, forcing your engine to work harder, which tanks your fuel economy, and more. Our team can swap out your dirty spark plugs to ensure your car starts up cleanly and help prolong your motor's life!

Filter Check

Can you name them all? With Speck Buick GMC of Tri-Cities, our certified team can tune up your engine. We'll check your oil, air, fuel, and other filters to inspect their condition and replace them, so your air, fuel, oil, and more can flow freely!

Fluid Levels and Quality

All engine fluids, including oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and more, are essential to ensure your motor runs smoothly and healthily. Our staff can check your fluid levels and quality to diagnose a leak, flush out old fluid, and add a new batch.

Engine Warning Signs

What Should You Look Out For?

What are the signs you need an engine tune-up? If your car tries to tell you something, it's best to listen and pay attention to the warning signs before severe damage happens!

Decreased Fuel Efficiency

If you're stopping at the pump more often or notice that your engine is burning more fuel than usual, it's time to schedule an engine tune-up.

Poor Acceleration

When you apply your accelerator, do you feel it hesitate or feel sluggish? That could mean your ignition or fuel delivery issues.

Engine Misfiring

If your car starts to lose power, jerk, or shake during acceleration, it may be due to worn-out spark plugs.

Difficulty Starting Your Engine

If your vehicle doesn't start up like it used to, you may have issues with your battery or spark plugs.

Check Engine Light

While this light could mean many things, it's not called a "check engine light" for nothing!

Rough Idling

Does your motor vibrate or sound choppy when you idle? It's time to schedule a tune-up before you need engine repair!

Engine Maintenance

When Should You Get a Tune-Up?

It depends on how often you drive and how far you go, but you should schedule an engine tune-up every 10,000 to 12,000 miles to ensure your motor runs smoothly!

How Long Do Tune-Ups Take?

Every driver has this question when scheduling an appointment, but engine tune-ups usually take two to four hours. Our certified team ensures that your motor is handled carefully during every repair.

It also depends on what services you're getting. The more work you have done, the longer it will take compared to fewer services.
