Getting a tune-up is a budget-smart move. That’s because it prevents the problems that lead to breakdowns. It’s a scientific approach to car ownership that pays off. Bring your car to Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center for full service auto repair Kingston NY.
Changing Role of Tune-Ups
Tune-ups have changed from the days when cars had carburetors. More and more parts are electronically controlled. There are fewer mechanical parts as a result. Yet, a tune-up is still needed to replace parts before their failure date. At a certain point, even the best-made parts are destined to fail in a mechanical engine. A tune-up brings the vehicle back to its most factory-like performance. 
Spark Plugs
One important part of the tune-up process is the replacement of spark plugs. These are responsible for repeatedly igniting gas and air to fuel the engine. If any fail or misfire, the engine can’t get enough gas mixture. This causes stress on the engine, reduces performance, and eventually leads to damage at other points down the line. Likewise, the wires to the spark plugs can go wrong. This can kill a spark plug and set off another string of events that can cause greater damage.
Fuel Filter
Your fuel filter is designed to keep debris, such as metal and dirt, from infiltrating your engine. Of course, this unwanted matter builds up over time until the filter becomes too clogged to allow gasoline to flow through at the right rate. By changing the fuel filter, the balance is restored to the system. Schedule repairs online.
