Tune-Up Maintenance at 401 Dixie Kia

When dealing with your vehicle you may often hear the phrase “tune-up service” but may not exactly know what that means or represents. “Tune-up” is definitely an old term, one that used to refer to actual “tuning” of older cars’ mechanical intake and timing systems to maintain a proper mix of air and fuel. Modern vehicles have more advanced systems that have rid carburetors with computer-controlled systems in their place. “Tune-up” has still maintained in our current automotive lexicon, but now moreso refers to our technicians connecting to your vehicle’s computer system and scanning for any problems. Tune-up services are still essential, to ensure all of your vehicle components and systems are running as they should, so learn more about them from us at 401 Dixie Kia, and book your service now.

Engine Diagnostic Test

If you see that pesky check engine light pop up in your dash it could mean any number of things. It could be something as simple as needing to tighten a cap, or something more serious like the need for emissions sensor maintenance. No matter what, and doubly so if you aren’t sure what it may be, it’s important to get your vehicle checked for the cause of that check engine light.

When Should I Get an Engine Diagnostic Test?

  • Your check engine light comes on.
  • Your check engine light starts to flash, which means the problem is more serious, and could spell problems for your catalytic converter.

 

 

Our Engine Diagnostic Test Includes:

  • We’ll connect to your OBDII computer and scan for any problem codes.
  • We’ll research any required codes and what’s required to fix.
  • You’ll receive a copy of the Vehicle Inspection Report, which covers the components checked and estimated costs for future work needed.

 

Spark Plug Replacement

For your engine to run as it should it needs the ignition system to be firing consistently and strong. What happens is that over time carbon can build up around the electrodes, which can either cause it to misfire or fire weakly. This adds up to lessened power and poor fuel economy.

How Often Should You Get Your Spark Plug Replaced?

Spark plugs are fairly durable and thus don’t need to be replaced that often, with many being able to last as long as 128,000 km to 160,000 km, depending on your type and model. Although, if you notice anything wrong with your vehicle’s ignition process, it’s time to get them checked.

 

 

Our Spark Plug Service Includes:

  • Inspection of spark plugs and replacement with manufacturer brand of choice.
  • You’ll receive a copy of the Vehicle Inspection Report, which covers the components checked and estimated costs for future work needed.

 

 

Fuel Injector Cleaning

Fuel injectors start and stop the flow of fuel into the combustion chambers. If these injectors get clogged with any manner of dirt and debris it can severely affect the proper mix of fuel to air. Having properly maintained fuel injectors ensures you’ll enjoy the potential acceleration ability and mileage on your vehicle.

How Often Should You Get a Fuel Injector Cleaning?

The need for fuel injector cleaning can vary greatly from vehicle to vehicle, with some needing it as frequently as every 48,000 km, while some able to stretch to 145,000 km. Your best course of action is to monitor your vehicle for any signs of clogging (like subpar acceleration, stalling and idling) and come to us as soon as you experience any of this decrease in performance.

 

Our Fuel Injector Cleaning Service Includes:

  • We’ll cleanse your fuel injector and combustion chambers of any debris, dirt, build-up, etc.
  • You’ll receive a copy of the Vehicle Inspection Report, which covers the components checked and estimated costs for future work needed.

 

 

Timing Belt Replacement

A timing belt helps sync movement between the crankshaft and camshaft, which opens and closes valves at the needed times so your engine can perform to its potential. If your vehicle uses a timing belt, it will have to get replaced eventually, and the unfortunate trouble with them is that they often don’t show wear like other belts. Watch out for signs like your engine not starting, lessened engine power, leaking oil, overheating, vibrating or strange noises.

How Often Should You Get Your Timing Belt Replaced?

Most timing belts require service around the 100,000 km mark, but it’s best to go by the recommendation in your vehicle’s owner’s manual.

 

 

Our Timing Belt Replacement Service Includes:

  • Replacement of your timing belt.
  • Visual inspection of related components to your timing belt, like pulleys, guides and tensioner.
