For high-performance vehicles, keeping them properly tuned is important. E-tuning, short for electronic tuning, provides one way you can tune up the car's software system so that everything is performing at its best. 

1. Save Money On Gas

With gas prices seemingly on a constant rise, anything that can help you spend less at the pump is a wise investment. Tuning your car, including E-tuning, will improve the function of the fuel systems so that less fuel is wasted. For maximum fuel efficiency improvements, combine E-tuning with other traditional tune-up tasks, such as replacing the air filter and cleaning or replacing the spark plugs. 

2. Spend Less On a Tune-Up

A traditional tune-up involves bringing in your car so they can hook it up to the diagnostics computer, tuning in the computer controls of the car, and performing general maintenance tasks like oil and filter changes, fuel system cleaning, and airing up the tires. Many modern cars don't need regular mechanical tune-ups if you keep up to date on oil changes and regular service appointments. You can save money by opting for E-tuning only, as it is mainly the computer systems that require regular software updates and adjustments. 

3. Improve Your Car's Performance

Better performance doesn't just mean better fuel efficiency. A car that is properly E-tuned will handle better, which makes driving both more pleasant and much safer. Smooth acceleration and improved responsiveness are the goals. If you have aftermarket performance parts on your car, then tuning up the software systems is a must so you can realize the full performance benefits of the additions. 

4. Increase the Engine Life

The engine can be one of the most expensive parts of the car to repair or replace, so anything that improves engine life and prevents damage is a good investment. When your car isn't tuned properly the engine can suffer more wear and tear. This is especially true if you have added on aftermarket performance components yourself, as these may not be working smoothly with the engine until you have them tuned in. 

5. Quick Service and Minimal Down Time

Taking your car in for a mechanical tuneup takes time, and in some cases, your car may even be kept overnight. There is also the challenge of finding a shop qualified to work on your car if you have upgraded its performance, especially if you aren't in a major urban center. E-tuning can be done via email. Your tuner will download the performance logs from your car, create a unique tuning map for the software, and then send this to you along with instructions for installing it. The entire process can be completed in a day.
