Car Tune Up: How Much Will It Cost?

Is it possible for your auto mechanic to give you an estimate for the cost of a car tune up? It can be a difficult job as there are many factors to consider when estimating the cost. If you are comparing quotes for a tune up from several different auto shops, make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

Make sure you know the answers to these three questions:

#1 – What does the shop include in their "tune up package?"

The quote from an auto shop that includes the price of a fuel filter, spark plugs, air filter, PCV filter, and distributor ignition rotor, plus all applicable labor charges will be considerably higher than another shop that may only replace spark plugs as their "tune up" service.

#2 – Is labor included in the quote?

Or, does the quote only include parts and supplies? A local independent shop could be using a different guide to estimate labor and parts than the guide used by a dealer for a brand-name part. These guides could also classify a car tune up differently, as well as recommend different replacement schedules for specific parts.

#3 – Is a tune up really necessary at this time?

Make certain that your vehicle actually needs a tune up. A poorly running car does not necessarily mean a tune up will fix the problems. New cars are complex, full of computers and sensors that can cause it to act strangely. Before doling out the money for what could be an unnecessary tune up, ask your mechanic to run a diagnostic test to determine a potential problem before handing over the money for what could be an unnecessary tune up.
