" Hello, I'm just inquiring on your tune-up. What is included in this? "

It's that easy man. Get on the horn and ask.

I suppose, but people don't like to help others that aren't willing to help themselves. You could have had your answer already from the source itself.

A tune up can be what ever you want it to be. Firestone will add all of the extra crap you don't need, so why don't u just decide what you want out of a tune up and tell them. Believe me, when I'm not going to college I work at wheel works on the weekends to fund my drifting. My AM was talking to me about this the other day. They will sell you garbage stuff you don't believe. I'll be a spoon feeder today lol

Ask for:

New spark plugs
New coil packs/ignitor
New intake filter
New accessory/drive belts
New fuel filter

maybe new oxygen sensors

one more thing anyone get a long beeping noise after you start driving? its for my 350z.

example...

warm up the car start driving and within like 5 min of driving a long steady noise starts and last for about a good 5-10 seconds or so?

That sounds weird never had that... Ps as far as the window motor goes it's really quite easy to do yourself. About 120 at autozone with a 40 dollar core exchange.

dealerships don`t do tune ups, they do k service(5k, 10k 15k etc.). i used to work at a Lexus dealership and a 5k service gets you an oil change and tire rotation. same as 10k service. a 15k service gets you a new engine and cabin air filters, an oil change, and tire rotation. a 30k service gets all of the fluids changed, air filters changed, and tire rotation. 60k service on 2jz engines is basically a 30k service with new spark plugs and new accessory drive belt. 90k service gets a new timing belt, new plugs if it`s a v6 or v8 engine, and the regular 30k service stuff. so, a tune up on your car will vary on how many miles you have.

at first i did try it myself. i tried to clean the motor which went well then i put it all back in and now the window sits lower then its suppose to so when it rains water actually gets inside. maybe i just need a whole saturday to dedicate to it but its too cold to work out here in washington.

Haha that's what I did same time i first tried. Cleaning it will only last soo long depending how much u use your windows. I cleaned the carbon out and got about 3 weeks of life bit that was pretty good considering here in so cal I can roll my windows down every drive I take. And tip/trick I learned that made the install way easier is get a c-clap (wrap in towel or something so doesn't scratch glass) and clamp the window at the base so that when the motor is out and the window wants to fall down, the c-clap will rest on top of the door keeping the window up making the instal much easier. Just make sure you pull the window alllll the way up so no slack on the drive wire or it will not go all the way up like u said. (did something my first time lol) goodluck!

I got just alittle over 50,000 but I do need an oil change also . And I'm currently in Washington I wish I was in San Diego. But that'll be straight mang if you can lead me to the right direction...

I'm looking to replacing all my belts, filters, oil, fluids, spark plugs and whatever else would be recommended my check engine light is currently on due to one day I was revving up while pulling out the drive way and I heard what sounded like a blowoff valve going off. Any idea?

[MAHALOHAWAII]

Also does your buddies shop install after market parts? I have no time or really anywhere to do the install myself.

Following parts...

Coilovers
Brake rotors and brake pads
Full exhaust
