Do newer cars need “Tune-Ups”?
The correct answer is yes and no! If your car is more than 25 or 30 years old then yes, you do need a tune-up. That includes adjustments of parts that newer cars don’t even have, like the carburetor, and replacing points and condensers as they wear out. If you have a newer car what you really need to do is service it. There are still spark plugs, filters, and fluids in newer cars that need to be serviced from time to time.
If you want to keep your car running efficiently and prolong its life, consult the maintenance schedule in the manual and do what’s recommended unless you have a reason not to. Don’t visit your mechanic and ask for a “tune-up” unless your car is of the proper age. Instead, ask to have your car serviced and a general check over done to see if there are any needs. While the old fashioned tune-up may be no more there are still areas on your car that need to be serviced at regular intervals.
