If you have children, you know they never ask to go to the doctor. In fact, some of them fear the doctor. They don’t want to get shots, after all. But as the parent, you know what’s best for them. Taking them to the doctor for those shots will help them prevent getting really sick later. You are doing it to help them, not to hurt them. Knowing that forces you to follow through with those doctor’s visits, no matter how much they resist.
Of course, your vehicle isn’t as important to your life as your children, but you still want to take good care of it. And, unlike a child, your vehicle actually will beg you for a tune-up service. There are a number of things your vehicle will do that will show you it’s time for a tune-up. And, like a child, if you follow through with those tune-up services, the vehicle can prevent getting really sick later.
Here are a few signs that your vehicle is just asking to go to the shop for a Philadelphia tune-up service.
Warning Lights
When you see warning lights on your dashboard, it’s easy enough to ignore. You just don’t look at them, right? When your child has a fever, you don’t ignore that. There must be something causing it! When your car has a warning light, the same is true. Don’t ignore it! Find out what is going on to cause the light to go off so you can prevent anything worse from happening.
Poor Gas Mileage
You know what your car should get by way of gas mileage. The sticker told you when you first bought the vehicle and you know how often you have to get gas. If you find yourself getting gas more often than you used to, that means there’s something wrong with your vehicle. It needs that tune-up service so you can find out. If your child doesn’t have the energy he used to, of course you’re going to find out what’s wrong. You should do the same for your car so it will work longer and harder for you.
Rough Starts
You want your vehicle to start with ease every time you turn the key. It needs to be reliable so you can get where you’re going, when you need to get there. If you notice a rough start or if it is hard to get the car going at all, it’s time to call in and get that tune-up service scheduled right away.
