I have a 1991 Acura Integra and I live in new york. What would be the price range for a minor and/or major tune up, if i already had the oil and rotors changed within the last month. I dont know anything about cars and I dont want to look stupid when i pull up to a garage.How much would a tune up cost me?
Between 400-600 dollars, what you ahd done isn't involved in a tune up... Major tune up will be $1100How much would a tune up cost me?
Tune Up:
- Replace Spark Plugs (Use regular plugs, platinum plugs, iridium plugs?) Check on autozone or kragen site for pricing.
- Replace distributor cap and rotor (Use factory parts or aftermarket parts?) Check on honda ,autozone or kragen website for pricing.
- Replace oil, oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, pcv valve (extra). Also ask if they use factory parts or aftermarket. (Check websites for pricing)
- Check all belts, hoses, ignition wire. (Should be included or free)
- Check suspension, tires. (Should be included or free). Use common sense, some shop will persuade you to replace parts.
Don't feel pushed to do a service. If you do, drive away and find a different service shop.

A good vehicle inspection should include a few easy diagnostics as part of the inspection. Cleaning and tightening the battery cables if necessary, testing the battery, charging system, and starter draw, testing coolant strength, inspecting drive belt conditions, lights, block heater, wiper blades, and filling the washer bottle with winter solution are all part of a complete inspection.
Now that the basics are done, we need to add a couple more items. Have the air filter checked, varnish deposits cleaned from the throttle plates, and vacuum and coolant hoses inspected for cracks or chafing. Removing one sparkplug to check condition will give a good indication if they need to be changed. Even one misfiring sparkplug will decrease fuel economy dramatically. Of course, extra labour charges apply if new ones are required.
Using a scan tool to check for engine codes can tell a lot. On OBD II emissions vehicles (1996 and newer vehicles), it can help locate a misfire. The scan tool can also monitor oxygen sensor readings for quick response rates. Oxygen sensors degrade with mileage and there are many high mileage vehicles that could get better fuel economy with a new sensor. A quick look under the vehicle for poor exhaust system parts, oil leaks, and to check tire condition and pressure and the inspection is done.
A vehicle inspection pinpoints what items on your vehicle need service. Instead of spending money on a 'Tune Up', spend it on what the vehicle really needs. Here are a few more items that should be considered as part of routine maintenance.
Many engines use rubber timing belts that need changing at specified intervals. Forget to have it changed and you could be looking at bent engine valves and major repair costs.
Keeping a vehicle maintained is expensive enough without spending money on services not needed. After watching how vehicles and the automotive industry have changed over the years, I am convinced an annual vehicle inspection is the best guide to help owners save money on maintenance.
TRY FINDING AN INDEPENDENT SHOP INSTEAD OF THE DEALER OR A CHAIN STORE BECAUSE YOU WILL BE OVERALL MORE PLEASED WITH THE FINDINGS AND THE SERVICE.
