Drjephthah80: Pls what is involved in a car tune up

Car tune up is a process of keeping ones car in its best condition possible the aim of car tune up is basically to keep the car in its very efficient and effective form thus getting maximum safety, economy, performance, and ultimately longevity of the car and its parts. Virtually every part of a car needs tune up from the body, to the engine, transmission, tyres, brakes, interior. People sometimes confuse the term car tune up to mean pimping/upgrade/love vendor. Basically, they aren't always the same. Car tune up entails you sticking to manufacturers default settings for mechanisms and parts. While love vendor/pimping/upgrade may go as far as reprogramming the vehicles ECU, changing tyres and wheels to custom, modifying headlamps, chairs, power output and torque of engine, body modification/sculpture, custom paint job, height and suspension modification, interior feel etc to meet the owner's perceived taste or to enable that car undertake a task which it was not necessarily suppose to do.

For example, at default, my car might only have 200hp and 260 torque, and meant for touring, if I tune it up, it may not necessarliy chang the values and its default intended usage, but if I Love vendor/love-vendor/upgrade it, I might want to change the looks, its height, handling, and power to say 600Hp and 730 torque, and modify it for a race track usage.

For car tune up, you could just start with clean up of body with water and any manufacturers recommended cleaning solution to rid off mud, carcass, plants, salt deposits, grease etc, waxing and polishing of paint to enhance the longevity of paint job, routine checks such as headlights aim and alignment, turn signal check brake, park, hazard light checks, routine/ periodic engine coolant checks, transmission fluid, steering fluid, brake fluid, engine oil check and change when necessary, air filter, fuel filter, oil filter check and replacement at recommended schedules, brake wear check, steering free play check accelerator pedal check, idle check, bake pedal, wheel alignment and balance check, tyre wear out check and rotation and clutch check, etc and correction when necessary.

With all these and more checks, and correction/replacement, you can say you have done car tune up.
