What Are Spark Plugs Anyway?

If you've ever had your car serviced, you've probably heard the term “spark plugs”. But what exactly are they—and why should you care?

Spark plugs are small but essential components of your car’s engine. Spark plugs ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, which starts the engine and keeps it running. Without functioning spark plugs, your car won’t start, idle smoothly, or run efficiently. Over time, spark plugs wear and can cause rough starts, poor fuel economy, and engine misfires.

 

This is especially important if you drive a European vehicle, which often requires precision parts and specialized care. At our shop specializing in European Auto Repair in Ann Arbor, we frequently replace spark plugs as part of routine maintenance for brands like BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen.

The Hidden Costs of Ignoring Your Vehicle’s Mileage Milestones

Staying on top of your vehicle’s mileage milestones can help you protect your investment. For European car owners, skipping scheduled maintenance can lead to unexpected and expensive consequences.

Every make and model have manufacturer-recommended service intervals—typically every 30,000, 60,000, and 90,000 miles. Milestones are designed to catch problems before they become major issues. Ignoring milestones could result in missed oil changes, delayed timing belt replacements, or overlooked brake inspections leading to costly repairs.

 

Our experienced European auto repair technicians understand the specific needs of brands like BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen. We follow factory schedules and use OEM parts to ensure your vehicle stays in peak performance.

 

You should prioritize mileage milestones and work with experts at ArborMotion who know your car inside and out. It’s the smartest way to ensure your Asian or European vehicle stays running smoothly.
