Will it hurt my Chrysler PT Cruiser to drive with old spark plugs?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What does a puddle underneath my Chrysler PT Cruiser mean?

Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Chrysler PT Cruiser. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.

What do hard starts and stops do to my PT Cruiser engine?

Hard starts and stops put extra wear and tear on engine components. Smooth, gradual starts and stops, on the other hand, are a great way to help your engine run better. They can also help maximize your fuel economy.

Tune Into Your Chrysler PT Cruiser

Is your engine overdue for a tune-up? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, it might be time to change your ways, particularly if you want to keep your 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser in tip-top shape. Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your PT Cruiser’s engine. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, which can mean better fuel economy (a win for you) and lower emissions (a win for the environment). When you get routine engine tune-ups based on Chrysler's recommendations, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your PT Cruiser’s engine running smoother, longer.

Chrysler PT Cruiser Engine Tune-Up Services

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Chrysler PT Cruiser engine tune-up services. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. The second service focuses on your PT Cruiser's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system. During this type of tune-up, we use a three-step process to get rid of harmful varnish, dirt, and carbon deposit buildup in your PT Cruiser’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Keep in mind that your PT Cruiser's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. A one-size-fits-all engine tune-up procedure doesn’t necessarily exist. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

Where Should I Go for My Chrysler PT Cruiser Tune-Up?

If you’re looking for 2008 PT Cruiser engine tune-up services, head to Firestone Complete Auto Care. Consult your vehicle’s recommended service schedule from Chrysler, or make a service appointment if you notice any of these symptoms from your engine: decreased gas mileage, "rough" idling or stalling when stopped, knocking noises in the engine, or a lit up check engine light on your dashboard.
