Fuel System Service for Better Performance & MPG
Professional fuel system service. ASE-certified technicians, 36-month / 36,000-mile warranty.
Choose a location & bookYour vehicle's fuel system delivers the precise amount of fuel your engine needs for optimal performance and efficiency. Over time, carbon deposits, varnish, and contaminants build up in fuel injectors, intake valves, and the throttle body — reducing fuel economy, causing rough idle, and triggering check engine lights. At Vertical Automotive, we provide complete fuel system diagnostics and service including fuel injection cleaning, fuel filter replacement, and throttle body service. South Florida's ethanol-blended fuel and high humidity can accelerate fuel system contamination, making regular fuel system maintenance especially important. Our ASE-certified technicians use professional-grade cleaning equipment — not the pour-in-the-tank products from the auto parts store — to thoroughly clean injectors and restore spray patterns. Every fuel system service is backed by our 36-month / 36,000-mile warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does fuel system service cost?
The cost depends on your vehicle and the work needed. We provide a written estimate after diagnosis. Contact your preferred shop for a quote.
How often should I have my fuel system cleaned?
We recommend professional fuel injection cleaning every 30,000-45,000 miles, or sooner if you notice reduced fuel economy, rough idle, hesitation during acceleration, or hard starting. South Florida's ethanol-blended fuel can cause deposits to build up faster than in other regions.
Are fuel system additives from the auto parts store worth it?
Over-the-counter fuel additives provide minimal cleaning compared to professional fuel injection service. They can help maintain a clean system between professional cleanings, but they can't remove significant carbon buildup. For actual performance restoration, professional cleaning with our equipment is far more effective.
