Spark Plugs Replacement in Walnut Creek, CA

Frank’s Auto Service offers a full range of engine diagnostics and repairs, including spark plugs replacement. Spark plugs generate high voltage sparks that ignite the gasoline-air mixture to provide the power for the car. Spark plugs replacement will happen repeatedly over the lifespan of your vehicle – it’s a normal part of automotive maintenance. Our Walnut Creek auto repair shop employs nationally ASE-certified technicians who can diagnose any spark plugs issues and let you know the best course of action – most spark plugs problems can be resolved the same day.

When the spark plugs are near the end of their useful lives, your vehicle may display a variety of symptoms, including:

Engine misfires
Rattling noises
Lack of power / decreased engine performance
Check engine light comes “on”

Spark plugs can last anywhere from 30,000 miles to over 90,000 miles, depending on the materials used in their manufacture. Copper spark plugs are less expensive, but last about 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Iridium spark plugs are more expensive, but often last 90,000 miles or more. So even with copper spark plugs, you will not have to deal with spark plugs replacement more often than once every three years or so.

If you notice any of the above symptoms, call Frank’s Auto Service to get your car checked out – malfunctioning spark plugs are a serious matter. Apart from possible damage to the catalytic converter (replacing catalytic converter in California can be very expensive), engine misfires or lack of power can put you and your passengers in a dangerous situation, so it’s important to address such problems in a timely manner.
