Repairs are performed by independent partner shops: the Alpha Automotive network and standalone partners such as Arrow Transmissions & Automotive. Roadside Towing & Recovery Inc provides the tow, the CONVINI app coordination, and VIP member pricing.
Rough idle, hesitation, or worse mileage than you remember? A tune-up at a partner shop in the Alpha Automotive network restores the ignition and fuel systems that quietly wear out.
Call (740) 812-9489A properly tuned engine idles smoothly, starts on the first crank, and burns fuel the way it was designed to. Spark plugs, ignition coils, filters, and fuel injectors all wear gradually enough that you stop noticing — until the car hesitates on the on-ramp. Partner shops in the Alpha Automotive network follow the manufacturer's service intervals rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
A tune-up at a partner shop is more than new plugs. The shop checks ignition coils and wires, engine and cabin air filters, the fuel filter, and the PCV valve, and can run compression and fuel-trim checks if the engine is misfiring. You get a written estimate before work begins, and the shop backs its work under its own warranty terms.
Franklin County has no emissions test, so nobody here needs a tune-up to pass an inspection — but a misfire or a lean condition still triggers the check-engine light and still costs you at the pump. VIP members get service reminders through the CONVINI app, and if a rough-running engine strands you, Roadside Towing & Recovery Inc tows you to the shop under the same tier terms as any other repair.

Follow your owner's manual. Many modern engines with iridium or platinum plugs go 60,000–100,000 miles between plug changes; older copper plugs need attention around 30,000. Filters and fuel-system service have their own intervals.
If worn plugs, a clogged air filter, or dirty injectors were dragging it down, yes — how much depends on how far out of tune the engine was. A tune-up will not fix mileage lost to a mechanical problem, which is why the shop diagnoses first.
Roughly one to two hours for a four-cylinder and two to three for a V6 or V8, depending on how accessible the plugs are. The shop quotes the time with the estimate.
Some do — glow plugs, fuel filters, and injection-system cleaning. Tell our dispatcher what you drive and we will route you to a shop that services diesels.
