Car Tune-Ups at Your Home or Work

It depends on your engine, since some have four spark plugs that are easy to reach and others have six or eight with some tucked under the intake. Call or text 937-609-3554 with your year, make and model and we'll give you an upfront quote, with no surprises and no hidden fees. Because we don't pay rent on a traditional shop, our overhead is lower and those savings are passed on to you. If we find a coil or anything else that needs replacing, you approve it before we do the work.

Our tune-up covers new spark plugs, an inspection of the ignition coils, boots and plug wires, a new engine air filter, a check of your fluids, and a scan for stored trouble codes. We also look over belts, hoses and the battery and let you know about anything that's starting to wear, so you can plan ahead.

Yes. We come to your driveway or parking lot with the parts for your vehicle, so there's no shop visit and no waiting room. If the weather is unsafe for working outside or the job turns into a bigger repair, we can pick up your vehicle, fix it at our offsite repair facility and bring it back.

Most newer vehicles use long-life spark plugs that are due somewhere between 60,000 and 100,000 miles, while older vehicles and those with copper plugs need them every 30,000 miles or so. Your owner's manual lists the interval for your engine, or call us with your year, make, model and mileage and we'll look it up for you. If it's been 30,000 miles or more and you don't know when it was last done, it's worth having us check.

Common signs include a rough or shaky idle, an engine that misfires or hesitates when you accelerate, hard starting, worse gas mileage than usual, and a flashing or steady check engine light. Any of these can come from worn spark plugs or a failing ignition coil.

We test the coils during every tune-up. If one is failing and causing a misfire, we'll tell you and quote replacing it before we do any extra work. Some drivers choose to replace all the coils at once on high-mileage engines, and we'll give you honest advice on whether that makes sense for yours.

If worn spark plugs, a misfire or a dirty air filter is costing you fuel, a tune-up can bring your mileage back to where it should be. It won't make a car more efficient than it was when new, but restoring a smooth, complete burn in every cylinder often makes a noticeable difference.

Sometimes. If the light is on for a misfire caused by worn plugs or a bad coil, a tune-up usually fixes it. We scan for codes before we start, and if the light points to something else, our engine diagnostics service will find the cause. A flashing check engine light means a severe misfire, so drive as little as possible and call us.

Most tune-ups take one to three hours. Four-cylinder engines with easy-to-reach plugs are on the quicker end, while V6 and V8 engines that need the intake removed to reach the rear plugs take longer. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when we quote the job.
