If your engine is stalling or misfiring, your vehicle could need routine maintenance, commonly referred to as a ‘tune up’. Most performance issues can be improved and with regular automotive tune ups.
What Is A Vehicle Tune-Up?
“The term “tune-up” usually denotes the routine servicing of the engine to meet the manufacturer’s specifications. Tune-ups are needed periodically according to the manufacturer’s recommendations to ensure the vehicle runs as expected. Modern automobile engines typically require a small number of tune-ups over the course of an approximate 250,000-kilometre (160,000 mi) or a 10-year, lifespan. This can be attributed to improvements in the production process in which imperfections and errors reduced by computer automation, and significant improvement in the quality of consumables such as the availability of synthetic engine oil.”*

While each car, truck, or SUV model can have uniquely specific tune-up demands, many vehicle tune ups maintain the same general parts of your car, truck, or SUV.
The price of a tune up varies depending upon which tier of tune up you need. More importantly, however, it depends on your particular vehicle. The most deciding factor is generally engine layout, size, and assembly. For a much more thorough response to this question, simply call our BMW service department and any of our experienced BMW service professionals can provide you a more detailed cost analysis of your car, truck, or SUV’s tune up.
Exact time estimates differ depending on the year model of your car, truck, or SUV and what level of tune up you require. But, general tune ups can take anywhere from two to four hours. For a much more detailed time assessment, contact our tune up service team today.

My experience here was mostly great. Very appreciative of the kindness from Benjamin who helped facilitate the sale and all the employees when we walked through the door. Easy and straightforward purchase of the car and never felt like a burden to them. The only issue I had was when we got to financing. The man we worked with (not Benjamin) didn’t seem to like that I turned down all the extras and so he seemed to get a bit hasty with me. He tried to add a fee back in I told him I didn’t want and ...

My experience here was mostly great. Very appreciative of the kindness from Benjamin who helped facilitate the sale and all the employees when we walked through the door. Easy and straightforward purchase of the car and never felt like a burden to them. The only issue I had was when we got to financing. The man we worked with (not Benjamin) didn’t seem to like that I turned down all the extras and so he seemed to get a bit hasty with me. He tried to add a fee back in I told him I didn’t want and then he seemed extremely aggravated that I wanted to read the papers before signing. Honestly, very frustrating. The vehicle was going to be detailed before pickup and Benjamin was communicative and made sure I had all the pieces ready to go for the next day when I picked up the car. very straightforward and pleasant experience, financing aside. Thanks, BMW!
