The best-kept secret to optimal fuel efficiency and performance

Spark plugs may be small but they have a very important job to do. By creating electric currents that light the air and gasoline in your combustion chamber, your engine is able to be ignited. What some car owners may not know is that beyond starting up your vehicle, the quality of your spark plugs can determine if you’re getting the most of your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and performance. 

That being said, when it comes to spark plugs our Orlando certified techs always recommend doing your research so you can purchase the best of the best. It may be an investment at the time, but we promise it will improve your fuel efficiency and save you money on tune ups down the road.
