What Is Included in an Engine Tune-Up?

An engine tune-up is a customized combination of maintenance services tailored to your vehicle’s age, mileage, and condition. At Lia Nissan of Glens Falls, an engine tune-up may include:

  • Inspection and replacement of spark plugs as needed
  • Review of ignition components and coil-on-plug systems
  • Air filter and, when applicable, cabin filter checks in coordination with our parts department
  • Fuel system and throttle body inspection (often paired with fuel system service, if needed)
  • Verification of proper idle speed and engine performance
  • Inspection of belts, hoses, and visible engine components
  • Fluid checks, including engine oil, coolant, and more

If your vehicle’s onboard computer is storing fault codes, our team can also perform engine diagnostics to identify and address the underlying causes prior to or during a tune-up.

Signs Your Vehicle May Need a Tune-Up

Drivers around Queensbury and Glens Falls often notice subtle changes that point to the need for an engine tune-up. Common symptoms include:

  • Rough idling or shaking when stopped
  • Hesitation or lack of power when accelerating
  • Decreased fuel economy over time
  • Difficulty starting, especially in cold weather
  • Check engine light or other warning indicators

If you are experiencing any of these conditions, scheduling a tune-up together with routine services like a Nissan oil change, tire rotation, or brake inspection can help bring your vehicle back to smooth, reliable performance.

How Often Should You Schedule an Engine Tune-Up?

Modern engines can often go longer between tune-ups than older models, but they still need periodic inspection and maintenance. The ideal interval depends on:

  • Your vehicle’s age and mileage
  • Whether you drive mostly city, highway, or mixed routes
  • Previous maintenance history and any open concerns

Many drivers coordinate tune-ups with recommended 30K or 60K mile services, or after purchasing a pre-owned vehicle from sources other than our dealership. Our advisors can review your maintenance history and owner’s manual to help you determine the right timing.
