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.

Got me in and found problem , Happy with repairs
I got stranded on a freeway on my way back home and the guys at Art of Maintenance took my car in at a very short notice! They diagnosed the issue in no time and started working on it right away. I was out of town with no family/friends in the area, just driving through, and folks at Art of Maintenance saved my life! Highly recommend!
Great service, quick turnaround time. Will go back.
In October, just after I got a “new” used car, they ran a diagnostic on my SUV, contacted my after market warranty people, ordered the transfer case, did the repairs and checked on their work after I had it back a few weeks! Kevin and James answered all of my questions (which was a lot) so I could understand and were patient with my calling for updates.
They were honest- right on budget – and I would definitely recommend them to family and friends! 🙂
Will also use them again for future repairs!

The staff were very helpful and friendly. Top Notch!
Great work. Three shops befrore this one. They found my problem in 30 min.
Got me in quick, same day service. Car was fixed sooner than expected. Great customer service!
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.
Had my jeep die and the got it in and iut the same day in time for me to go to wotk , great guys
they made sure my car was Road ready for my holiday trip thank you Art of Maintenance
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.
I trust these folks with the possession I need the most and know the least about. They do great work for a fair price and they’re pleasant on top of that!
