Getting regular tune-ups is critical to extending the life of your car or truck and most importantly can identify problems before things get worse and potentially more costly.

Depending on the make/model and where you get your tune-up done (dealer versus independent), tune-ups can run $200 to $500. Items that are typically checked include major items such as the Engine, Transmission, Brakes, Steering, Starting and Charging. Other checked items include Belts, Filters, Fluids, Exhaust, and Tires.
