COMIN' DOWN THE CHIMNEY ... ... A REAL TUNE-UP FOR YOU
Many consumers have been mislead by advertisements to believe in clip ad tune-ups
The home shopping network is a wonderful avenue for busy people but it has its limitations.
Many consumers have been mislead by advertisements to believe in clip ad tune-ups.
These ads promise quality automobile tune-ups that are priced according to the number
of cylinders in your engine.
The sad reality is that a real tune-up consists of a great deal more than counting
cylinders, installing a cheap set of spark plugs and giving consumers a sales pitch
for any items of easy prey under the hood.
A real tune-up requires following the Vehicle Manufacturer's Maintenance Schedule.
These Schedules should be reviewed by the technician prior to servicing the vehicle.
The Schedules include the recommended parts to be replaced, service points to be
checked and technical procedures to be performed according to the mileage on the vehicle.
Tune-up technicians need to first review the Maintenance Schedules and then check
for any Service Bulletins. These Bulletins alert the technician to possible problems
which pertain only to specific models of vehicles from the factory. The final step in pre-tune-up
planning is to review any service which has already been performed to your vehicle.
With these facts the technician can determine what a real tune-up for your vehicle
will entail.
Our Alldata Service Computer is capable of printing out Maintenance Schedules and
Technical Service Bulletins for almost any vehicle in a matter of minutes.
The Manufacturer knows more about your vehicle than anybody. By following the Manufacturer's
guidelines, our ASE Certified Technicians will make your engine sing to a very fine
tune, we guarantee it. So beware of tune-ups which sound like cylinder count deals or promise one simple price for all makes and models. Instead, get quality: take
your car to A Street.
