Tune-Ups to Help Your Toyota Prius Run Better

Is it tune-up time? If you tend to ignore your car until something goes wrong, now is the time to work on that habit, especially if you drive a 2012 Toyota Prius. Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Prius’s power on the road. They're designed to help your engine start easier and run more efficiently, so you can enjoy improved fuel economy and lower emissions. When you follow the guidelines specified by Toyota for your vehicle’s tune-up schedule, you’re taking vital steps toward keeping your Prius’s engine running smoother, longer.

Toyota Prius Engine Tune-Up Services

Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Toyota Prius engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. The second service focuses on your Prius'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 Prius’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Keep in mind that your Prius'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. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.
