How Often Should I Tune Up My Vehicle? Tune up maintenance intervals vary from one vehicle to another. Most older vehicles should be tuned up every 10,000 to 12,000 miles or every year, whichever occurs first. Newer automobiles equipped with electronic ignition and fuel injection systems are scheduled to go from 25,000 to 100,000 miles without needing a major tune up depending on usage and factory recommend intervals. If you do a lot of stop and go driving or pull heavy loads like a camper or trailer, your vehicle may need to be tuned up more often, no matter what type of system your vehicle has.
Time For A Tune Up?
