Its not called a tune-up any more, and its different than it used to be, but regular maintenance checks are still essential for your automobile. At Whitehouse Auto Service, our certified technicians will help you take care of routine maintenance for your automobile.
Todays cars are so much more refined and so much more complicated than their older versions that old-fashioned tune-ups are a thing of the past.
Advances in computer controlled systems, electronic systems, the use of unleaded fuel, and other things have made less necessary what we used to call tune-ups. The new spark plugs last longer, the ignition timing is not adjustable; the fuel filter may not be replaceable, etc. So we dont recommend simple tune ups as we used to do. However, with these new and more complicated automobiles, theres plenty that needs regular maintenance checks. The spark plugs may last longer, but sooner or later they still need replacing. Air and oil filters, valves, rotors, and other things still need checking. And most of the systems are so complicated now that they require trained and certified mechanics to adjust or maintain them properly.
At Whitehouse Auto Service, our trained and certified technicians know how to check the sophisticated engine controls and sensors in todays complex auto systems.
It is not only the obvious things we are all used to looking for–damaged or disconnected lines, broken, loose, or dirty connections, cracks in hoses, or burned wires–that we at Whitehouse Auto Service look out for, but also all the electronic and computer controlled systems. At Whitehouse we have the specialized equipment to do the job right. We make sure the ignition system, fuel system, emission system and the computer system are all working together.
