Keep Your Engine Running Strong with a Professional Tune-Up
There is nothing more annoying than a car that just does not feel right. Maybe it shakes a little when you are sitting at a red light. Maybe you press the gas pedal to pass someone and the engine hesitates before it speeds up. Or maybe you have just noticed that you are stopping at the gas station a lot more often than you are used to. These are all signs that your engine is tired and dirty. It is not broken but it needs attention.
At Premium Auto Services, we are the place for the best car tune-up in Grenada. We don’t just change your oil and send you away. Our mechanics dig deep into your engine to clean, adjust, and replace the small parts that get that “new car” feeling back so you can drive without worrying about a breakdown.
What Actually Happens During a Tune-Up?
A “tune-up” is a general term, but at our shop, it means a specific checklist of services designed to help your engineer run efficiently.
- Spark Plug Replacement: Your spark plug is necessary for the engine power. They create the tiny explosion that pushes the pistons and moves your car. Over time, these plugs get dirty and worn out. When they are old, they misfire which causes your engine to shake or lose power. We replace them with high-quality new plugs to restore that snap and power to your acceleration.
- Air and Fuel Filter Check: Your engine needs to breathe. If your air filter is clogged with dust and dirt, your engine has to work twice as hard to pull air in. This wastes gas. Your fuel filter is just as important; it stops dirt from getting into your fuel injectors. We check these filters and replace them if they are dirty. This simple step is one of the best ways to improve your gas mileage immediately.
- Throttle Body Cleaning: This is a step many shops skip. The throttle body is the valve that controls how much air goes into your engine. Over time, it gets coated in a thick black carbon buildup. This gunk can make your car idle roughly or stall out. We manually clean this valve to make sure air flows smoothly which makes your idle feel smooth and steady again.
- Fluid Health Check: A tune-up is the perfect time to check the other fluids that keep your car alive. We look at your coolant to make sure your engine won’t overheat. We check your brake fluid and your transmission fluid. If anything is low or looks dirty and burnt then we will let you know so we can fix it before it causes expensive damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Does My Car Really Need a Tune-up?
Will a Tune-Up Help Me Save Money on Gas?
What are the Main Signs that My Car Needs a Tune-Up?
You should bring your car in if it is hard to start in the morning. Other clear signs are a rough or shaking feeling when you are stopped at a light, a noticeable drop in power when you try to pass someone, or if your “Check Engine” light comes on.
How Long Does a Standard Tune-Up Take?
A standard tune-up usually takes our team about 2 to 4 hours. This can vary if your car has a difficult engine layout where the spark plugs are hard to reach. We will always give you a time estimate when you drop your car off.
Is a Tune-Up the Same Thing as a Regular Service?
No, they are different. A “regular service” or oil change mostly focuses on lubrication. A tune-up is a specific service focused on the ignition and combustion parts of the engine (plugs, filters, timing). Both are important, but do different jobs.
