Is a "tune-up" the same as preventative maintenance?
Not exactly, a "tune-up" is an older term for replacing wear items like spark plugs, while preventative maintenance is the broader, ongoing care that keeps your whole vehicle healthy.
Modern cars don't need traditional tune-ups the way older ones did, but they still benefit greatly from regular preventative service. If you're searching for a tune-up, the team at Bernhard Auto Works in Columbia can explain what your specific vehicle actually needs today.
How do I keep track of what maintenance my car needs?
The easiest way is to let a shop keep a service history for you, so nothing slips through the cracks between visits.
Trying to track intervals, mileage, and past work on your own gets complicated fast, especially across several years of ownership. The expert
team at Bernhard Auto Works keeps a record of your vehicle's service and reminds you what's coming up, so you always know what's due and when.
Do I need an appointment, or can I just come in?
The best way to be seen is to book an appointment, since it guarantees a spot and keeps your wait to a minimum.
Scheduling ahead lets us set aside the right time for your vehicle rather than fitting it in between other work. Our hours are Mon-Fri: 7:30 AM - 5:30 PM | Sat-Sun: Closed, so reach out to Bernhard Auto Works to set up a time that works for you.
