Why Should I Have My Car Frequently
Serviced?
Ensuring that your vehicle is well-maintained is
one of the most important aspects of car ownership. Knowing that every piece of
your hatchback, sedan, or SUV is in perfect condition helps you drive with
confidence and prevent unexpected breakdowns. Staying up-to-date on regularly
scheduled services such as tire rotations, oil changes, and wheel alignments
can keep your car - and its passengers - as safe as possible.
How Can I Tell When it's Time for
Service?
There are two main ways to tell when it's time
to bring your Hyundai to our Service Center - either a warning light on your
car's dashboard is turned on, or it has been a certain number of days or miles
since your last performed service. If one of the lights on your vehicle's
dashboard is illuminated, we ask that you schedule an appointment with us at
your earliest convenience. This way, we can perform any necessary maintenance
and get you safely back on the road.
How Often Should I Get an Oil
Change?
Hyundai recommends that owners change the oil in
their hatchback, sedan, or SUV every 6,000-7,500-miles. If you frequently drive
in more taxing conditions, like downtown Portland, it is suggested that you
receive an oil change every 4,500-5,000-miles. Always consult your owner's
manual for information related to your specific model, including which grade of
oil to ask your technician for.
How Often Should I Check Fluid
Levels?
To preserve the quality of your vehicle, Hyundai
recommends that owners check fluids twice a year, or every 4,000-miles. This
can vary for older models, so be sure to check your owner's manual or determine
a schedule with one of our Service Team members.
When Should I Change My Cabin Air
Filter?
For newer models like the Hyundai Sonata, it's a
good idea to replace your cabin air filter every two years. It is advised to
have your filter inspected at more frequent intervals to ensure speedy
replacement if you want to achieve maximum filtration quality.
How Often Should I Get My Brakes
Checked?
Your brake pads, disc brakes, lines, hoses, and
connections should all be inspected every six months, or every 7,500-miles
according to the owner's manuals of popular models, like the Hyundai Palisade.
If you travel to the mountains near Vancouver, WA, you'll want to know that you
have a solid set of brakes on your car.
When Should I Replace My Car's
Battery?
You will know it's time to change your battery
if you notice any of the following signs: delayed engine start, frequent need
for a jump-start, or difficulty turning on in cold weather.
When Should I Get My Tires Rotated?
The owner's manual for the Hyundai Elantra and
several other popular models suggest rotating your tires every six months or
after every 7,500-miles driven.
How Often Should I Replace My Tires?
The best way to prolong the life of your tires
is to keep them properly inflated and serviced with rotations. Still, your
tires will naturally wear down over time. Hyundai recommends that you use a
quarter to determine if your tires need replacing. Insert the quarter
upside-down into the tread of the tire. When you can see the top of George
Washington's head poking out of the tread, it's time to replace that tire! Additionally,
you should be replacing your tires if they are damaged by a blowout, puncture,
or complete air loss.
