He used to drop into my chambers once in a while to smoke, and was first-rate company. When I gave a dinner there was generally a cover laid for him. I liked the man for his own sake, and even had he promised to turn out a celebrity it would have had no weight with me.
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.
Tune-up schedules vary by car. Most cars made after 1980 do not need a traditional tune-up but they do need periodic maintenance. The owner's manual for a car will typically describe the best maintenance schedule for that car. In addition, most cars benefit from a 30,000-, 60,000- and 90,000-mile maintenance.
