Tune up does not last for more than 1 year. It is completely destroyed even when everything is replaced brand new. It is a huge fire hazard. Everything is cooked like a furnace. Mechanics are not willing to put the effort in doing tune ups and repairs. I do a tune up on the Car once a year. I memorized every mechanical problem on that car, just so I can keep a sharp eye on all the problems.
