At Absolute Auto Tech, Inc. in San Luis Obispo, our auto repair experts have the tools and know-how to get any job done in a timely manner and without sacrificing quality. Furthermore, we pride ourselves on conducting business in an honest, honorable manner. Our valued customers put their faith in us to keep them safely on the Central Coast roads and we take that responsibility very seriously!

The best way to avoid spending big money on costly repairs is to be proactive and establish a preventative maintenance plan that best suits your vehicle’s needs. The friendly, experienced staff at Absolute Auto Tech, Inc. can work with you to determine what regular services your vehicle will need as part of its preventative maintenance schedule and customize your plan to accommodate any special requests you might have.

We recommend proper vehicle maintenance, including tune-ups and oil changes on a regular basis. Today’s automobiles need more than just an oil change and spark plug replacement. A basic oil & filter replacement (oil change) is the minimum maintenance a vehicle needs to sustain a long life. Depending on your individual driving habits, your vehicle may need a tune-up between 30,000 miles and 100,000 miles. To get the most out of your vehicle, we recommend following a complete service plan.

If you’re not sure how long it’s been since your last tune-up, here are a few signs you should get one performed soon:

Poor Fuel Economy

If you’re filling your tank up more often than usual, there’s a decent chance something is out-of-whack in your engine and you’re in need of a tune-up.

Knocking/Pinging Sounds.

When you hear either of these noises, particularly during acceleration, your vehicle is definitely in need of service. There’s a chance your engine is making these noises due to using the wrong octane level of fuel, but better safe than sorry!

Hard Starting.

If it takes longer to start your vehicle than normal, you should bring it in before you end up stranded.

For oil change or basic maintenance concerns or questions, give us a call (805) 547-1062 and our knowledgeable team members will be happy to discuss your individual needs.
