Tune-Ups to Help Your Scion tC Run Better

Is it time for an engine tune-up? If you're the type of driver who waits for something to go wrong with your vehicle, it could be time for a new way of doing things, especially if you want your 2006 Scion tC’s engine to last for a long time. Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your tC. Tune-ups help your engine start smoothly and run 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 Scion's recommendations, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your tC’s engine running smoother, longer.

Routine Engine Tune-Up Service for Your Scion tC

The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Scion tC engine tune-up services. 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 tC's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. 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 tC'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 tC'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. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

Where to Get a Scion tC Tune-Up

Schedule your next 2006 tC engine tune-up service at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Not sure when you’re due for a tune-up? Use Scion’s recommended maintenance schedule as a reference point, or schedule an appointment ASAP if you notice any of these signs: shaking while the engine is idling, poor fuel economy, engine knocking, or an illuminated check engine light.

2006 Scion tC Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • What happens if my Scion tC spark plugs fail? Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Scion’s recommendations.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Scion tC? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • Are some driving habits better for my Scion tC 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.
  • I need a Scion tC tune-up. Where can I get on? At your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care! Whether you need Scion tC service, maintenance, or repairs, our technicians can get the job done.
