General Maintenance For Your Vehicle

Keep Your Car Running Smoothly Year-Round

At Central Valley Towing & Automotive, we understand that modern vehicles require more than just the occasional oil change. With today’s advanced ignition, fuel, and computer systems, proper general auto maintenance is critical to keeping your vehicle running efficiently, preventing costly repairs, and extending its life.

The Modern Tune-Up: What It Means Today

The traditional “tune-up” has evolved from a simple spark plug and filter change into a comprehensive vehicle inspection and maintenance process.
Modern tune-ups now include:

  • Battery, charging, and starting system checks

  • Onboard diagnostics review (mechanical powertrain control systems)

  • Fuel, ignition, and emissions system inspections

  • Air and fuel filter replacement

  • Spark plug and ignition component evaluation

With advanced onboard computers regulating your engine and transmission, a professional tune-up helps maintain peak performance, fuel efficiency, and reduced emissions.

Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Neglecting routine vehicle maintenance can lead to:

  • Decreased fuel efficiency

  • Poor engine performance

  • Unexpected breakdowns

  • Expensive repairs

Our certified technicians follow manufacturer-recommended service schedules and use advanced diagnostic tools to identify and address issues before they become major problems.
