Talk:Tune-up

February 2013
I am a mobile mechanic in the Houston area and I do mainly residential house calls. People ask me all the time why they need to have factory scheduled tune-ups done. I liken it to maintaining your body. If you don't take preventive measures like eating the right things, exercising and getting health check-ups, I am more likely to have health issues. And if I don't take heed to warning signs, my health could deteriorate rapidly. In the same way, changing vehicle fluids, filters, and ignition parts lessens the chance of a breakdown while driving on long trips or rush hour traffic. Not only that, but it also increases the performance and gas mileage of your vehicle. It's an investment that pays off in the short and long term. Why wait until it breaks down and you need to get to work or school or some emergency?MobileMechanic (talk) 00:50, 23 February 2013 (UTC)
