Expert Tune-up Service in Joliet, IL from AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair

How often should spark plugs be replaced?

Most spark plugs last anywhere from 30,000 to 100,000 miles (or 50,000 to 160,000 kilometres) depending on the type your engine uses and how you drive. Copper plugs wear out sooner, while iridium and platinum plugs can go much longer, so the right interval really comes down to your specific vehicle. Bring your car to AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair in Joliet and we'll check your plugs and let you know whether they're due for replacement.

What's the difference between a basic and a full tune-up?

A basic tune-up usually focuses on core wear items like spark plugs and filters, while a full tune-up goes further with a broader inspection and additional services based on your engine's condition. The right one depends on your vehicle's mileage and how it's running, not a one-size-fits-all package. Our trustworthy team at AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair will recommend the level of service your car actually needs, without upselling you on work that can wait.

Do modern cars still need tune-ups?

Yes, though today's tune-up looks different from the older version. Modern engines are computer-controlled and no longer need points or carburetor adjustments, but they still rely on fresh spark plugs, clean filters, and periodic inspections to run their best. Our expert team at AACCEL Emissions & Auto Repair will keep your vehicle performing the way it should.

AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE Auto Tips and Videos: Alignment Inspection

January 1, 2016

Uneven tire wear, the auto pulling to one side or a steering wheel that is off-center are signs for Joliet motorists that their wheels may be out of alignment. When doing an alignment inspection, the service advisor will check your tires for uneven wear as well as suspension and steering parts for signs of wear or damage. He’ll also compare your current alignment with the auto manufacturer’s settings. Your vehicle owner’s manual will have a recommendation for when to check alignment. Of course, this recommendation is based on normal driving. If you have been in collision, hit a curb/pothole, frequently drive off-road around Joliet, or notice any symptoms of misalignment, have your AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE service specialist carry out a critical alignment check.

Professional Auto Maintenance at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE: Causes of Wheel Misalignment

December 24, 2015

When properly aligned, all of your wheels are pointed in the same direction. Your vehicle will track true and handle the way it is designed. Joliet motorists often associate our wheels being “knocked” out of alignment with an event like a major collision, hitting a pothole, curb or some other object. While these can certainly take your wheels out of alignment, the bumps and bounces of everyday driving take their toll on wheel alignment as well. Your automobile can lose alignment over time with just normal driving. When your wheels are out of alignment, the team of automotive professionals at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE in Joliet can return your wheels to the factory settings. Most owners’ manuals suggest a diagnostic examination every year or two.

AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE Car Care Advice for Joliet Motorists: A Broken or Damaged Timing Belt

December 24, 2015

The timing belt rotates the cam shafts which open and close the valves that allow air, fuel, and exhaust to flow through the engine as it powers your auto. An old timing belt can lose a “tooth” in the belt allowing it to slip. The engine could stop or misfire. Timing belt slip – or a broken timing belt – can be disastrous on some engines. In “interference” engines, open valves can get in the way of the piston when the timing belt breaks or slips. When that happens one or more valves can be bent requiring pricey engine repairs. It is critical for Joliet auto owners to replace their timing belts as recommended in their owner’s manual to avoid unnecessary breakdowns. Ask the team of professionals at AACCEL EMISSIONS & LUBE in Joliet if it’s time for your timing belt to be replaced.
