What Happens in an Engine Tune-Up?

When you bring your Toyota Tundra in to our service center our mechanics will, first and foremost, inspect each engine component and swap out any worn out, defective, or outdated parts with genuine Toyota components. These parts include spark plugs, fuel filters, and distributor caps.

When Should I Schedule an Engine Tune-Up?

If your Toyota comes from a more recent model year, it likely features an electronic ignition system and, thus, might not require a routine tune-up until about 25,000-30,000 miles. However, many Toyota models older than 10 years old might have more outdated parts or might feature non-electronic ignitions. These types of cars should undergo a tune-up once every 10,000-12,000 years.

What Happens if You Miss a Tune-Up?

Ignoring the needs of your engine can greatly reduce the overall fuel economy of the vehicle, which can lead to extra fuel costs long-term. Other consequences may include engine failure, routine stalling, or increased emissions. If any of these symptoms present themselves, schedule a service appointment immediately.
