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 Howard Automotive in Kansas City 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. The trustworthy team at Howard Automotive 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. We're open Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, so stop by Howard Automotive and we'll keep your vehicle performing the way it should.
