Engine Tune-Up Service

Engine Tune-Up Service at Stanley Ford McGregor

If you’ve had your model for a few years, you might notice that its performance may have declined. This is normal, as engines deal with a lot of challenges as time goes by, but when you want to make sure that your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and power are restored, you’ll want to schedule an engine tune-up. When you’re traveling through McGregor, Killeen, or Waco, you can always stop by Stanley Ford McGregor. 

Knowing the Tell-Tale Signs

If you’re not familiar with cars, it can be incredibly difficult to know when it’s time to service parts like your spark plugs or fuel system. Since these parts often go unnoticed, you’ll want to keep a close eye on the general health of your vehicle, which you can do by watching for signs like:

• Your Engine Is Misfiring 
• Your Engine Idles Roughly 
• Your Vehicle Shows Signs of Stalling 
• Your Vehicle Has Issues Starting 
• Your Vehicle Accelerates Slowly 
• Your Gas Mileage Is Not What It Used to Be
• You Notice Knocking Noises from Your Engine 
• You See Your Indicator Lights Popping Up

When you start to experience one or more of these issues, it might be time to head to the mechanic. Rough idling and misfiring could be signs of a larger issue at play, while other symptoms like your engine knocking demand an immediate response, as it can lead to permanent engine damage.

What Your Service Includes

It pays to keep a close eye on your engine, which is why our engine tune-up is so extensive. Our mechanics will pay special attention to parts like your fuel system so that you’ll have amazing mileage once again, and any malfunctioning parts will be replaced as needed. 

• Polishing Your Engine: When you’re driving, dust, gunk, and other debris may find their way into your engine. That’s why our mechanics will clean both your Throttle Body and Fuel System in order to make sure that you have peak performance. 
• Your Ignition Timing: If you’re experiencing lower performance, you may need to have your ignition timing set. This will ensure that your vehicle ignites the mixture of gas and air at the perfect time so that you have maximum efficiency. 
• Replacing Worn Parts: When parts become worn, they’re going to need to be replaced. Our mechanics will look over your Spark Plugs, PCV Valve, Coil Boots, Wires, Engine Air Filter, Distributor Cap, Rotor, and Fuel Filter. 

Caring for Your Model

While it’s important to look after your engine, you’ll want to make sure that you’re also servicing the other parts of your vehicle when needed.

• Air Conditioner Service: Whether you’re dealing with frigid, cold air or blistering heat, you’ll want to make sure that your air conditioning is ready for the task. 
• Battery Service: Your battery stores all the power for your vehicle, so when it dies, you won’t even be able to start your model. With a routine check-up, you can be sure that your battery is road-ready. 
• Suspension Service: When your car lurches forward when you stop, it’s probably time to get your suspension checked on. This ensures that you have crisp handling.
