The owners manual on every vehicle should state how often the manufacturer recommends that you tune up cars, but as a general rule it is every two years or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first. Driving under extreme temperature and weather conditions will make parts wear out faster, however.
1 On average, a basic tune up can cost anywhere from $55 to $200 if you do it yourself. 2  For a professional mechanic, a tune up can range anywhere from $20 to $95 per hour, not including parts. 3  Changing the oil, spark plugs, air filters and more can range anywhere from $150 to as much as $1,000 for older cars.
