Tune Up Service

Tune Up Services
Why Choose Art of Maintenance for Tune Up Service?
Your engine relies on a number of components working together in perfect timing. Spark plugs, ignition components, filters, and other essential parts naturally wear with age, reducing performance and placing unnecessary strain on the engine. Left unaddressed, these small issues can lead to rough idling, sluggish acceleration, poor fuel economy, and more expensive repairs down the road.
Â
Art of Maintenance offers tune up service that begins with a careful evaluation of your vehicle’s condition so our technicians can determine exactly what your engine needs. Instead of replacing parts that still have life left in them, we focus on accurate inspections, quality workmanship, and recommendations based on your vehicle’s mileage, performance, and manufacturer guidelines. Our goal is to restore smooth operation while helping extend the life of your engine through thoughtful, preventative care.

Signs Your Vehicle May Need a Tune Up Service
If your vehicle isn’t performing like it used to, watch for these common indicators:
Decreased fuel efficiency
The vehicle exhibits decreased fuel efficiency, requiring more fuel than normal to travel the same distance under typical driving conditions. The reduction in fuel economy may be accompanied by diminished engine performance or inefficient engine operation, resulting in increased fuel consumption.
Difficulty starting the engine
The engine exhibits difficulty starting, requiring extended cranking or multiple attempts before it starts. The condition may occur intermittently or consistently and can be accompanied by rough initial operation once the engine starts.
Engine feels less responsive than normal
The engine feels less responsive than normal, with slower acceleration and reduced power during operation. Throttle response is delayed, and the engine takes longer than expected to react to input, particularly when accelerating or under load. Although the engine continues to run, its overall performance appears diminished.
Check engine light is illuminated
The check engine light is illuminated, indicating that the engine control system has detected a fault requiring diagnosis. While the vehicle may continue to operate, the warning light suggests a malfunction that could affect engine performance, emissions, or overall reliability.
Slow or hesitant acceleration
The vehicle exhibits slow or hesitant acceleration, with a noticeable delay in engine response when the accelerator pedal is applied. The engine does not produce power as expected, resulting in sluggish performance during normal driving, particularly when merging, passing, or accelerating from a stop.
Rough idling while stopped
The engine exhibits a rough or unstable idle while the vehicle is stopped, with noticeable vibrations or fluctuations in engine speed. The condition may occur at traffic lights or when the vehicle is in park, causing the engine to run unevenly despite no throttle input.
Loss of power during everyday driving
The vehicle experiences an intermittent loss of power during normal driving conditions, resulting in reduced acceleration and sluggish performance. The engine does not respond as expected to throttle input, making it difficult to maintain speed or accelerate smoothly, particularly when merging, climbing grades, or passing other vehicles.
Engine misfires or unusual vibrations
The engine experiences intermittent misfires and unusual vibrations during operation, resulting in rough running and reduced performance. The condition may be most noticeable at idle, during acceleration, or under load, with the engine exhibiting inconsistent power delivery and excessive vibration.

Had to take my car in to the shop for repairs , They got me in and out in the same day with great customers service . THANK YOU KEVIN AND JAMES
They were very helpful and professional. Found a weird but easy to fix problem with our mini cooper and fixed it quick and without further charges. Also provided a complete health check for the car, estimates for future work, and checked in with us days later to make sure everything was ok. Will go to them again.
I was totally impressed with their work. They are awesome!
This shop is top notch and is very helpful
Mechanics are very friendly, and they always communicate with before starting jobs.
This shop is a gem. Runs on old school work ethic that is hard to find these days. Team is highly professional and communicative. I needed a quick tire patch. They took my car in same day despite their full and overflowing schedule given the upcoming memorial weekend. Now I can hit the road in time for my birthday trip safely and worry free. Thank you all so much!! Will be coming back for regular maintenance soon.
I was downtown last weekend when my car suddenly started having problems. I was at a shop on NW 23rd and the car struggled to start. I finally got it started however it still sounded very strange. I puled out of the parking lot and started driving to find a local auto shop. Suddenly my car temp went to extreme hot in seconds. I knew there was an immediate problem. We got to the auto shop to find they were closed on weekends. Fortunately my friend with my had AAA and had my car towed to Art of Maintenance. They are AAA Certified and boy am I glad that first shop was closed.
Dan’s team quickly diagnosed my problem. The radiator fan was not reconnected after the starter was changed at another mechanic shop (to remain nameless) less than a month ago. Plugged it back in and I was good to go back to the Starlight Parade Festivities.
I have found my future mechanic!
You better believe I went to the nameless mechanic shop to get reimbursed for the diagnostic cost and will be visiting Art of Maintenance this weekend to give them all of my needed repair business.
The best shop in town !!! They take great care of my truck and my wife’s car !! Kevin is always amazing to work with
I love these guys. They go out of their way to keep in touch.
They know what they are doing. They know how to do it right
I trust these guys with my car and to let me know what really needs to get taken care of and what I should keep an eye on.
They were not pushy or anything like that. This is my first choice when I need work on my car.
I found this place googling around after the soonest appointment I could make at the Ford dealer I’d have gone to had it’s EARLIEST appointment 15 days from when I called. The Art of Maintenance for me in the next morning after a late afternoon call. The car diagnosis was made in a couple of hours post drop off, and, but for a part needing to be brought in the next day, it’d have been done that day. As it was, brought it back the next morning, and the car was done by noon.
The price seemed reasonable to me comparative to any other maintenance I’ve had done over the years, and the staff seemed totally transparent about the issues and the costs, starting by attempting the least expensive fixes first (which worked! phew!). More importantly, they were just friendly and welcoming to this boy who knows nothing about cars.
Will def use them again; although I sure hope to not have to 🙂 (come on, car, get to 300k miles and past this chip shortage BS!!!)
