how often do you do a tune up, and what is included? prices?

Tune up is an out of date thing . Your service manual will give you what service you need and when . Price , no way to guess as we don’t know where you are or what shop you might use .

“Tune-up” is a term which usually refers to routine servicing of the ignition and possibly the fuel system. Replacing 6 spark plugs & engine air cleaner, I’d guess that would take about 2 hours labor, and $200 in parts. $400-$600. P&L for replacing the fuel filter, probably another $150. There’…

I would have guessed a 2013 would use iridium plugs. Fortunately it uses platinum, so OP saves a little cash. Plugs for my Corolla & truck, about $1.25 to $2 each. Hard to figure how they can sell them for such a low price, seems like they would be difficult to make.

That would add about $14 to what I priced earlier.
