If you want to keep driving your vehicle for many years to come, staying on top of your vehicle's maintenance is extremely important. Here are several steps to follow that can keep you ahead of the game when it comes to your vehicle's health. And don't forget — we'll be here to help whenever you need us!
Wash & wax your vehicle regularly.
Keep your Hyundai model's exterior shiny and protected against the elements with a regular wash and wax.
Don't forget the interior.
Your vehicle's interior also needs to be cleaned regularly. Deep clean to remove stains and vacuum away dirt, dust and crumbs that may have built up over time. If your seats are leather, keep them looking like new with a leather cleaner and protectant. If they're upholstered, use an upholstery cleaner and fabric protectant.
Keep an eye on your tires.
You can't have peace of mind without good tires. And by good tires, we mean ones that have plenty of tread and the correct tire pressure. In addition to checking the tread and pressure on a regular basis, be sure to have your tires rotated consistently to keep them from wearing out unevenly.
Fill up with care.
Not only should you choose a trustworthy gas station when it's time to fill up, but you will also want to avoid pumping gas while the fuel truck is filling up the tanks. There's a chance that sediment will be stirred up in the gasoline, which may end up clogging your vehicle's fuel filters and fuel injectors.
Keep up with oil changes.
Want to keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently? Then don't put off the oil changes. Refer to your owner's manual to find out how often your vehicle requires an oil change.
Change the filters.
Replace your car's filters regularly (these include the oil filter, fuel filter, transmission filter and air filter) and you'll be on the road to good car health. Find out when to change each one by looking in your owner's manual.
Repair damage to your windshield as soon as possible.
It's easy to ignore, but don't — a small chip or crack in your windshield can become a larger problem over time. Before you know it, you may have to have your windshield replaced.
Use genuine OEM parts.
Simply put, only genuine Hyundai parts are the perfect match for your vehicle. Let our Hyundai experts help you find exactly what you’re looking for.
Make sure fluids are at the correct level.
Your vehicle depends on different fluids to keep it running properly, so be sure to have the fluid levels regularly checked. Read your owner's manual to find out how often they should be checked, and if you have questions, our trained technicians are here to help.
These are just a few steps to follow in order to keep your vehicle healthy and on the road for a long time.
