Tune-Up Services at Kwik Kar in Texas

Regular tune-ups from Kwik Kar Automotive Lube & Service Center help keep your vehicle running efficiently and affordably. A Kwik Kar tune-up near you can improve performance, fuel economy, and overall engine reliability—no matter what you drive.

Years ago, vehicles relied on mechanical carburetors and electric chokes, which required frequent adjustments. Modern cars use sealed fuel-injection systems, advanced electronics, and long-lasting iridium spark plugs, eliminating many traditional components. Because of these advancements, “tune-ups” originally applied to older vehicles and don’t technically describe today’s electronically controlled engines.

What Is a Vehicle Tune-Up?

Many people believe that you only need a tune up service when your engine starts to show signs of trouble or your vehicle’s efficiency starts to reduce. A tune up isn’t a cure all for a troubled engine and is, in fact, something that all automobile owners should prioritize when it comes to the maintenance of their cars and trucks.

What’s Included in a Kwik Kar Tune-Up?

We customize each tune-up based on your vehicle’s age, mileage, and condition. Common services include:

Engine Oil & Filter Change
  • Improves fuel economy and reduces engine wear
  • Recommended every 3,000–5,000 miles, depending on oil type
  • Keeps your engine breathing clean air
  • Helps boost MPG and performance

  • Prevents misfires and poor fuel economy
  • Iridium or platinum plugs last longer, but still need inspection

We inspect ignition coils, spark plug wires (if applicable), and distributor components (on older vehicles)

  • Ensures clean fuel reaches the engine
  • Helps prevent clogs and engine strain
  • Regulates airflow and pressure in the crankcase
  • A clogged or damaged valve can hurt performance and fuel economy
  • We scan your vehicle’s onboard computer for error codes
  • Identifies issues with the engine, transmission, fuel system, and more

What issues to look for

Poor Fuel Efficiency

A failing system can make your engine work harder, reducing mileage.

Hard Starting

Worn components or weak power can cause slow or failed starts.

Rough Idling or Misfires

Irregular combustion leads to shaky idling and uneven engine performance.

Warning Lights

Dashboard alerts often signal engine or electrical system issues.

Strange Noises

Rattling, knocking, or loss of power may point to deeper engine problems.
