Tune-Up Service in Lake Park, FL
Restore Performance. Improve MPG. Prevent Breakdowns.

What a Proper Tune-Up Does for Your Car
A tune-up isn't just maintenance — it's an investment that pays for itself in fuel savings, prevented repairs, and extended engine life.
Worn spark plugs and dirty filters force the engine to work harder. A tune-up restores efficiency and saves money at the pump.
Modern iridium spark plugs last 100,000 miles — but they still need to be replaced on schedule. Worn plugs cause misfires that damage the catalytic converter.
A misfire from worn spark plugs can destroy a catalytic converter ($650+). A $125 plug replacement prevents a $650 cat replacement.

6 Signs Your Car Needs a Tune-Up
Don't wait for a breakdown. These symptoms mean your engine needs attention now.
Rough Idle or Engine Misfires
The engine shakes, stumbles, or runs unevenly at idle. Almost always caused by worn spark plugs or failed ignition coils.
Poor Acceleration
The car hesitates or feels sluggish when you press the accelerator. Worn plugs, dirty injectors, or a clogged air filter are common causes.
Reduced Fuel Economy
If you're getting noticeably fewer miles per gallon, worn spark plugs and dirty filters are often the cause. A tune-up frequently restores 15–20% fuel economy.
Check Engine Light (Misfire Codes)
P0300–P0308 misfire codes are almost always caused by worn spark plugs or failed ignition coils. Don't ignore them — misfires destroy catalytic converters.
Hard Starting
If your engine takes multiple cranks to start, worn spark plugs may not be generating a strong enough spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture reliably.
Engine Surging or Hunting
The engine RPM fluctuates at idle or low speed. Often caused by a dirty throttle body, dirty fuel injectors, or a vacuum leak.
Tune-Up FAQ
How much does a tune-up cost in Lake Park, FL?
A complete tune-up at Oxenade Motors starts at $250 for most 4-cylinder vehicles. This includes spark plugs, air filter, cabin filter, oil change, and a full multi-point inspection. Pricing varies by vehicle — 6-cylinder and 8-cylinder engines cost more due to additional plugs and labor.
How often does my car need a tune-up?
It depends on your spark plug type. Copper plugs: every 30,000 miles. Platinum plugs: every 60,000 miles. Iridium plugs: every 100,000 miles. Check your owner's manual for your specific vehicle's recommendation. If you're experiencing rough idle, poor fuel economy, or misfires, don't wait for the scheduled interval.
What's included in a tune-up at Oxenade Motors?
Our complete tune-up includes: spark plug replacement, air filter replacement, cabin air filter replacement, full synthetic oil change, throttle body inspection, fuel system inspection, and a comprehensive multi-point inspection covering brakes, tires, fluids, belts, hoses, and suspension.
Will a tune-up fix my check engine light?
If your check engine light is on due to misfire codes (P0300–P0308), replacing the spark plugs and ignition coils will often resolve it. However, we always perform a full diagnostic scan first to confirm the root cause before recommending a tune-up.
Do European vehicles need special spark plugs?
Yes. BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and other European vehicles require manufacturer-specified spark plugs — typically iridium or platinum with specific heat ranges and electrode configurations. Using the wrong plug can cause misfires and engine damage. We always use the correct plug for your specific engine.
How long does a tune-up take?
A standard tune-up takes 2–3 hours. Some vehicles — particularly those with difficult spark plug access (BMW N54, certain V8 engines) — can take longer. We'll give you an accurate time estimate when you schedule.
