How much am I supposed to expect to pay to have my car tuned?
Is this cryptonite most likely spelt wrong. tuning good?
What can I expect to improve? MPG/Power/etc?

UK. Depends if parts need replacing, eg. plugs, air filters, leads etc, so labour expect to pay about £40 plus parts. Well worth doing, keeps the engine sweet, particularly with oil change.
[It is called Krypton tuning, that's the make of the equipment

cryptonite tunning????? Someone is pulling your leg. A regular tune up is around $35 $70. It will not improve anything unless your car is oooolllddd. But your car will run better and last longer.

Be cautious being a lady, they see us as "sucker" when we go. I heard a tune up is usually just changing the spark plugs and checking things. Not as big as they make it out to be. Ask around, get those coupons that come in the mail and read them carefully. when you call ask them what all do they do.

Nothing that a regular service would not accomplish although.

Just read there webpage page and what complete tosh. They say new engines have to be "tuned in", what on earth are they going on about.? Imagine if you bought a brand new Mercedes and you were told you had to get it "tuned in", or it wouldnt work..
They want to charge you the earth for just a basic service and an emissions check. Just get it serviced at a local independant garage.
