Enhance Mini Cooper Performance with a Tune-Up

Is it time for an engine tune-up? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, now is the time to work on that habit, particularly if you want to keep your 2018 Mini Cooper in tip-top shape. Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Cooper’s engine. Tune-ups give your engine a boost in efficiency, which can lead to lower emission levels and better fuel economy. When you get routine engine tune-ups based on Mini's recommendations, you can rest assured you’re investing in your Cooper’s long-term engine performance.

Mini Cooper Engine Tune-Up Services

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 2018 Mini Cooper. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. This includes the installation of new spark plugs and a visual inspection of your engine’s components, plus a lifetime warranty on parts*. The second service focuses on your Cooper's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your Cooper. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Keep in mind that your Cooper'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.

2018 Mini Cooper Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • What happens if my Mini Cooper spark plugs fail? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Cooper? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Mini Cooper. 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.
  • Are some driving habits better for my Mini Cooper engine than others? You can make your driving habits more engine-friendly. Hard starts and stops can increase the stress on engine parts, especially over many years. Boost your fuel economy and care for your engine by using gradual, smooth starts and stops instead.

Reference your Mini owner’s manual for exact guidelines.
