Engine Tune-Up Service in Kelowna
A regular engine tune-up keeps your vehicle running efficiently, reduces emissions, and prevents costly breakdowns. At JFC Downtown Autopro, your NAPA AUTOPRO certified shop in Kelowna, BC, our certified technicians perform thorough tune-ups that restore your engine's peak performance.
Why Engine Tune-Ups Matter
Over time, your engine's ignition components, filters, and fluids degrade. A tune-up replaces worn parts and restores optimal settings. Skipping tune-ups can lead to:
- Poor fuel economy — worn spark plugs and dirty filters waste fuel
- Rough idle and hesitation — misfires cause an uneven, shaky idle
- Hard starting — weak ignition components make cold Kelowna mornings even harder
- Increased emissions — an inefficient engine produces more pollutants
- Reduced power — your engine can't deliver full performance when components are worn
- Catalytic converter damage — persistent misfires can destroy this expensive component

Signs Your Vehicle Needs a Tune-Up
Schedule a tune-up if you notice:
- Decreased fuel economy — you're filling up more often
- Rough or uneven idle
- Engine misfires or hesitation during acceleration
- Difficulty starting — especially in cold weather
- Stalling at stops or low speeds
- Check engine light is on
- Sluggish performance — the engine feels weak or unresponsive
- Failed emissions test
Kelowna's temperature swings — from hot Okanagan summers to freezing winters — put extra demands on your ignition and fuel systems, making regular tune-ups even more important.
How Often Should You Get a Tune-Up?
Tune-up intervals vary by vehicle:
- Older vehicles (conventional spark plugs): Every 30,000–50,000 km
- Newer vehicles (platinum or iridium plugs): Every 80,000–160,000 km
Even with long-life spark plugs, other tune-up components like filters and fluids need attention more frequently. Our technicians will recommend the right interval based on your vehicle's age, mileage, and condition.
