What’s Included in a 5,000-Mile Auto Tune-Up Service?

Our 5,000-mile auto service is comprehensive, combining an oil and fluid service with tire rotation and balancing, suspension lubrication, and several safety and wear checks.

Oil & Fluids

• Change your engine oil with a semi-synthetic or full-synthetic product and replace your oil filter.
• Add an optional Seafoam additive to reduce engine wear and boost performance (additional cost).
• Check your transmission fluid and coolant fluid for condition and level.
• Replace and fill your washer fluid.

Tires & Wheels

• Reset tire pressure, replace missing valve caps, check tire sensors, and rotate and balance your tires for even wear and longer life.

Suspension & Steering

• Check struts, shocks, tie rods, ball joints, and control arm bushings for wear or damage. We lubricate all suspension components.

Brakes & Safety Systems

• Inspect front and rear brake pads, rotors, hoses, calipers, brake lines, and emergency brake function.
• Examine the exhaust system for leaks and security.
• Inspect all hoses and clamps for leaks/damage.
• Inspect the vehicle for leaks on all systems.

Battery & Charging System

• Test the battery condition and electrical system load. If you need a new car battery with your tune-up, we will calibrate it to work efficiently with your car’s charging system.

Diagnostics & Reporting

• Check engine error codes and diagnose faults.
• Road test by a trained technician to check for irregular noises, performance issues, or other conditions that suggest necessary repairs or maintenance.
• Maintenance and service light reset.
• Oil maintenance reminder sticker to help you track oil changes.

What Happens if Your Car Needs Repairs or Additional Work

If our service technician finds any problems during their tune-up and checks, they will note these in a detailed report.

Your tune-up service report will include:

• Details of all work performed, including type of oil, filter, lubricant, fluid, computer error codes, battery statistics, etc.
• Images and/or video of any problems discovered.
• Recommended next steps, such as repairs, additional diagnostic work, or replacement parts.

Dee Pat’s Awsomotive won’t perform any additional work without your permission. We take the time to explain our findings and why the work is necessary. Sometimes our recommendations won’t require immediate attention. We can help you prioritize repairs or part replacements based on severity.

Staying on top of your tune-ups and preventive maintenance can prevent sudden breakdowns and major component or system failures. Work performed during your tune-up can prevent costly repairs later.
