Thanks

I’ve had good luck with Automaster in Leesburg

Tune ups-thing of the past?

So how long is too long on a tune up? I have a 2007 Dodge Ram p/u 99,500 miles. Never had a tuneup, bought in 2009 @ 16,000 miles. I use fuel injector cleaner 2x year. Engine lately is surging when in park, or backing into my garage. Would a diagnosis machine pin point if this is injectors clogging up or needs new plugs?

As others have said, modern cars do not require a "tune-up"...

I definitely recommend Wildwood Tire on 44 near 301. They are very reasonable and most importantly honest.

I always add tire rotation to the oil and filter change. Car Dealers have coupons too and got my last service done at my dealer for $55.00 which included various “checks”, oil & filter, tire rotation and topping off all fluids. I have used All German Motorworks in Leesburg for wife’s car and they do a good job too. Relative new vehicles have computer maintenance and it’s usually 7,500 miles and more before you need service depending on your driving.

Wildwood Tire or Sumter Tire , either will do.

OP, if you were asking about a tune up due to an observed problem, go to any of the local auto parts stores and they can plug in an OBD code reader, this will give you an idea of what may be the problem. generally, these will light the "engine trouble" light, but as I recall not all codes trigger this light.

Take 5 has a couple of nearby locations on 441 for a quick oil change.

I have also heard good things about Wildwood Tire. My friend who is a part time resident of Summerfield took her car there for some expensive repairs and the price was much, much lower than the garage she visited first. Another friend who was a snowbird for years swears by Tire Kingdom.

Well, it has been over 100,00 miles since the plugs were changed. Now I have a misfire on cylinder #3. #3 is in the middle of the left side of the engine and is very close to the firewall. I've read that the engine has to be unbolted and tilted in order to get to it. I'm betting that wasn't done and they left the old plug that would now have over 150K on it. The first shop that I had change the plugs years ago, used regular $2 each plugs. Should have used the platinum ones. The second shop used platinum ones and may not have replaced #3. Seems really coincidental that it's the one with a misfire. Not replacing #3 is simply a guess on my part. I need some place that will do it all correctly.

Sumter Tire was recommended to me last year. I use them for everything and have been very very happy.
