tune-ups
Periodic car servicing
Tune-ups is the plural of tune-up, a routine maintenance service for an engine or machine to keep it running efficiently.
A tune-up typically involves replacing spark plugs, adjusting timing, and checking filters.
The term extends to any minor adjustment or preparation: The team did some tune-ups before the big game.
In boxing and other sports, a tune-up is a relatively easy match scheduled before a major fight to sharpen skills without serious risk.
