What's the average Firestone tune-up cost?

Car Maintenance & Repairs

I’ve been considering getting a tune-up for my car and I keep hearing about Firestone Complete Auto Care. However, I’m unsure about how much it typically costs and what exactly is included in their tune-up services.

From what I understand, a standard tune-up can vary based on the make and model of the car, but I’m particularly interested in learning:

  • What services are included in the Firestone tune-up?
  • Is the cost generally reasonable compared to other places?
  • Any experiences or stories from others who have had their cars tuned up at Firestone? Knowing what to expect would really help me decide if I should go for it or look elsewhere.

Thanks in advance for any insights!

I’m curious about the Firestone tune-up costs too! I’ve heard they usually cover engine checks, fluid replacements, and spark plug changes. Can anyone confirm the average overall cost?

That’s correct! I’ve seen quotes ranging from $100 to $300 depending on services. Don’t forget to ask about any promotions or packages!

Wow, that’s a wide range! What specific services do you usually get for that price?

A typical Firestone tune-up includes a full engine performance check, fluid changes (like oil and coolant), and definitely spark plug changes. It’s quite thorough for the price you pay!

Good to know! I didn’t realize it was quite that comprehensive. Is there anything else I should expect?

You might also get brake and tire checks during the tune-up. Just remember, each location might vary slightly in what they include. Always a good idea to double-check!

That sounds really helpful! I want to make sure I’m not missing anything important. Is it typically a good value?

Absolutely, a tune-up can help prevent bigger, more costly repairs down the line. It might seem like a lot upfront, but it often saves money in the long run. Plus, your car will run smoother!

I’ve had mixed experiences—sometimes the service is superb, and other times, I felt it was just basic maintenance. Keep an eye on the details they provide!

11

Oh no! A tune-up should be worthwhile. Did you discuss your concerns with them after? Maybe they could have clarified the services.

I’ve been looking into the cost for a Firestone tune-up and it generally ranges between $100 to $200, depending on what services you need. Compared to other service centers, it’s usually in the same ballpark, but you might find cheaper alternatives if you shop around.

That’s pretty much in line with my experience too. However, I got mine done at a local mechanic for $80. It pays to compare prices!

14

I found my last Firestone tune-up cost me around $150. It’s a bit higher than some other places, but I trust their service quality. Sometimes it’s worth paying a few extra bucks for peace of mind, don’t you think?

15

I agree! I once went for the cheapest option and ended up with more repairs needed later. Sometimes the initial savings can lead to bigger headaches!

I did some research and found that some smaller shops offer tune-ups for as low as $70. Firestone is reliable, but it might be worth checking out independent shops for potential savings.

17

Good point! I love supporting local businesses. It can feel good and save you money. Just make sure they have good reviews!

18

Has anyone considered the warranty that comes with Firestone’s services? While the price might seem steep, I think they offer a solid warranty that might make it worth the cost.

19

That’s a fair point! Warranties can be a game-changer. But, if you want to save, you could always ask local shops if they offer similar warranties.

If you’re hunting for bargains, you might want to check online for coupons or specials from Firestone. I often see them offer discounts that can significantly lower the price!
