Automotive Tune-UpsTune Ups:
There is nothing funnier than life.  A very good repeat customer of mine once told me a story about the day he tuned up his own 1999 American made automobile, which had a common V-type six (6) cylinder engine.  That day, all he planned to do was to change his oil, oil filter, his serpentine belt, and change his spark plugs.  He figured two (2) hours maximum.  He started at 10 am.  No big deal right? Wrong!    

Long long ago, six and eight cylinder engines used to be mounted so that you could easily access the spark plugs from the side of the car or truck.  There was also plenty of room between the engine and frame of the car to easily access these parts.  In today's models, the engines have been rotated 90 degrees, where the spark plugs are easily accessed from the front of the car, but they are not so accessible between the engine and the fire wall of the car.  Today, they also build the cars quite a bit smaller, for reasons of efficiency.  In short, the 10 pound engine just fits into a very tight 10 pound opening, with very little room to spare.

Oil and Oil filter - no problem!  Serpentine Belt - No Problem!  Front Spark plugs - again, no problem!   Rear spark plugs - problem.  Let the explicitives begin.  Smashed knuckles, broken spark plug insulators, trips back to the parts store, etc., etc., where the order of the day.  Hello 4:30 pm!  Finally - Done!

Yo! Keith (Lehman)!  Why does it take you only a fraction of an hour to perform a tune-up (It took me over 6 hours)?  In other words, how can you afford to do a full tune up for only X dollars.  I said, with a big wide smile, "that's because I have all the right tools (to get the job done)."  I didn't have to say that I've done this type of stuff a few times.  

True story!
