Where to tune up your Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge or Ram vehicle on Long Island, NY?

Although most Long Islanders keep up with their oil changes, and perform the occasional wash and wax, one of the most important things to keep a car running smoothly and for a long time are often forgotten. That element, of course, is the tune up. A tune up typically involves a full fluid flush of your vehicle, checking all of the belts, a look at the battery, a new air filter, and maybe some other odds and ends depending on where you take the car or if you plan to do it yourself.

At Westbury Jeep Chrysler Dodge Ram, our car tune up experts will get your vehicle humming as if it were brand new.

Every time we drive our cars, we put them under a tremendous amount of stress and subject them to a lot of wear and tear. Remember that even the simplest of car components can make a major difference when it comes to how your car runs and whether or not it is truly a safe vehicle. With that in mind, let's take a look through some of the most important vehicle components that are checked or replaced during a tune up and see what they do for the vehicles and what makes them so essential.

Get better gas mileage!
Fixing a car that is noticeably out of tune or has failed an emissions test can improve its gas mileage by an average of 4 percent, though results vary based on the kind of repair and how well it is done.  Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your mileage by as much as 40 percent.

PCV Valve
The PCV valve needs to be checked during your tune-up. If the PCV valve is clogged your car might spit and sputter or even stall while driving.

Belts
The belts should be checked on a regular basis for cracks or tears in the belt. If you notice any cracks it is recommended that you have the belts changed as soon as possible. This is important because if a belt breaks while driving it could cause expensive damage.
