At Mobil1 Lube Express Burnaby, we understand that properly functioning spark plugs are essential to the performance of your vehicle. Spark plugs ignite the air/fuel mixture in the engine, and over time, they can wear out, affecting your vehicle’s fuel efficiency, performance, and overall engine health. Our expert technicians provide top-notch spark plug services to keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently.

The Importance of Spark Plug Maintenance

Spark plugs are small but crucial components in your car's engine. They play a vital role in the combustion process by creating the spark that ignites the fuel-air mixture. Over time, spark plugs naturally wear out or become covered in carbon deposits, leading to a variety of issues, including:

• Decreased engine performance and power.
• Increased fuel consumption, which can result in higher fuel costs.
• Engine misfires, which may cause damage to other engine components.
• Higher emissions, leading to a negative impact on the environment.
