How much should a tune-up cost?

A modern tune-up typically costs between $200 and $800, depending on your vehicle and what it actually needs. Today's cars do not need the frequent tune-ups older vehicles required, so a real tune-up now mainly means replacing spark plugs, inspecting ignition coils, swapping filters, and checking fuel and emission components. Luxury and European vehicles with more cylinders and harder-to-reach plugs cost more, while a four-cylinder economy car sits at the low end. Be wary of any shop selling a vague flat-rate tune-up without explaining what is included. The right service depends on your mileage and symptoms, not a one-size-fits-all package. Motoro Cars inspects your ignition and fuel system, recommends only what your car needs based on the manufacturer schedule, and quotes you up front.
