What’s Included in a Telle Tire Tune-Up?
During a comprehensive engine tune-up at Telle Tire, we do more than check spark plugs. We take a holistic look under the hood to ensure your vehicle’s systems are running efficiently and reliably. Here’s what you can expect with an engine tune-up:
AC Check & Air Filter Replacement
Your air filter is crucial in keeping your engine’s fuel-air mixture balanced. A dirty or clogged air filter can lead to poor fuel economy and unnecessary engine strain. During every tune-up, we inspect your air filter and replace it if needed to help your vehicle breathe better and run cleaner.

Engine Diagnostics & Timing Check
We run full diagnostics and check your engine’s timing to identify early signs of wear. Our technicians also inspect vital fluids to ensure your engine stays properly lubricated and protected, like oil, coolant, and transmission fluid. We’ll even inspect and adjust your clutch if you drive a manual transmission.

Battery & Ignition System Inspection
A failing spark plug or worn ignition coil can quickly lead to misfires and starting issues. We test and replace worn spark plugs, inspect ignition wires, test the battery, and evaluate your entire electrical system to ensure everything is in peak working order.

Common Questions About Car Tune-Up Services
We know that auto maintenance can raise a lot of questions. We’re here to help.
Tune-up intervals vary by vehicle, but many cars benefit from a tune-up every 30,000 miles or once every 2–3 years. Newer vehicles with electronic ignition systems may go longer. Always refer to your owner’s manual or ask a Telle technician for vehicle-specific guidance.
Common signs include sluggish acceleration, poor fuel economy, rough idling, engine misfires, or trouble starting. If your check engine light comes on or your vehicle just doesn’t feel as responsive as usual, it may be time for a tune-up.
Most tune-ups can be completed the same day. The exact timing depends on your vehicle’s needs and the specific services required.
Not exactly. A tune-up is a more focused inspection and service of your engine and related components, while regular maintenance includes ongoing needs like oil changes and tire rotation. Both are essential for long-term vehicle health.
