FAQs

  • What parts of my fuel system does VIP actually clean during a fuel injection service?

    VIP’s fuel system cleaning covers your entire system, including fuel injectors, intake valves, combustion chambers, and throttle body. The goal is to remove carbon buildup from end to end so everything flows through the engine and fires the way it’s supposed to. Stop into any VIP location and our Certified Automotive Professionals will walk you through exactly how we approach it and what it means for your vehicle.

  • Why is my car hesitating or sputtering when I accelerate?

    Hesitation or sputtering when you accelerate is often a sign of carbon buildup in your fuel system, which can be caused by clogged injectors, dirty intake valves, or a gunked-up throttle body. A fuel injection service clears out that buildup, restores fuel efficiency, and gets your engine running the way it should.

  • Can a fuel system cleaning actually improve my gas mileage?

    A fuel system cleaning can absolutely improve your gas mileage, and it’s one of the more straightforward ways to address poor fuel efficiency. When deposits build up in your fuel system, your engine works harder and burns more fuel. Clean out that buildup and efficiency follows. Most drivers notice a real difference after a fuel system cleaning.

  • What are some signs that my fuel pump is going bad?

    If you hear a whirring sound from your gas tank, have trouble starting your vehicle, your engine sputters at higher speeds, or your car surges forward when you’re not pressing the gas, your fuel pump could be going bad.

  • How often should I get a fuel injection service done?

    You should get a fuel injection service done every 15,000 miles to keep deposits from building up and help your engine stay efficient.

All-Season

All-Season

All-Season tires are versatile and suitable for warm and cool climates, but not recommended for extreme hot or cold weather conditions because of specific rubber components.

All-Weather

Like their name suggests, all-weather tires are versatile and can perform well in a variety of weather conditions and can be severe snow-rated.

All-Terrain

With bigger treads than traditional all-season tires, all-terrain tires allow for both on and off-roading capabilities.

Winter

Winter tires are manufactured to perform well in snow, ice, sleet and other cold weather conditions. Winter tires are typically soft, with an intricate grooved tread pattern — made for holding compacted snow and creating traction — and are severe snow-rated.
