We want to make sure you and your ride make it to this year's Cruise. The following advice is provided by local trusted businesses to ensure your dream cruiser is in tip top shape. New tips are being added all the time so check back frequently.
Tune-up Tip #1: Tires
Rotating your tires periodically is an essential part of tire maintenance. The main purpose of regularly rotating tires is to achieve more uniform wear for all tires on the vehicle. If no rotation period or pattern is to be found in your owner's documentation, rotate your tires at least every 6,000 miles.

However, rotate your tires earlier if irregular or uneven wear develops, and check with a qualified tire dealer or alignment shop to determine the cause of the wear problem.

Remember that a hard impact such as hitting a pothole can cause misalignment, which then causes uneven tire wear and if not corrected could cause problems.

Tune-up Tip #2: Spark Plugs
Spark plugs are one of the most important parts of your vehicle's engine. Your spark plugs should be replaced every 2 years or 30,000 miles to maintain maximum fuel economy and peak engine performance.

This may vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle. Some models will go as far as 100,000 miles before the plugs need replacement. Replacing your spark plugs isn't that difficult, but be sure to follow all the instructions listed in your owner's manual.

Tune-up Tip #3: Battery
Your vehicle's reservoir of electricity is the storage battery. Its most important purpose is to start the engine, and it must work under all kinds of temperature conditions. After the engine is started and running, the alternator (or generator) supplies the vehicle electrical requirements and recharges the battery. The battery remains at the heart of the electrical system, and it must be in good condition to ensure reliable electrical service for your car.

Most vehicle owners prefer to have a service facility take care of required battery replacement and battery service such as cleaning and cable replacement.
