Tune Into Your Lexus SC300

Is it tune-up time? If you're the type of driver who waits for something to go wrong with your vehicle, now is the time to work on that habit, especially if you drive a 1997 Lexus SC300. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your SC300. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy. When you follow the guidelines specified by Lexus for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you can rest assured you’re investing in your SC300’s long-term engine performance.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Lexus SC300

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 1997 Lexus SC300. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your SC300. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your SC300's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Keep in mind that your SC300's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. This means that a tune-up service that’s a great fit for another car may not be optimal for yours. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.
