When your car is operating in top condition, taking it in for its routine maintenance check may seem like an unnecessary, time-wasting effort. But keeping your vehicle maintained is necessary to make sure your valuable time is not wasted by untimely breakdowns. Here are 4 reasons why you’ll want to keep up with your Hyundai maintenance checks.
1. It’s a Condition of Your Hyundai Warranty
Your Hyundai warranty requires you to keep your vehicle properly maintained as a condition of your coverage. In the event you ever need to take in your vehicle for repair under the warranty, regular maintenance checks give you the documentation you need to prove that you’ve done that. If you don’t have these documents, you could be responsible for the costs of the repair, so regular checks can ultimately help save you money.
2. They Stave Off Costly Repairs
Scheduled maintenance replenishes material that your vehicle consumes during operation. When oils and filters are not replaced in time, they degrade and become ineffective at protecting your vehicle, leading to the degradation of your vehicle’s components. These components eventually fail and replacing them is many times more costly than the fluids and filters that protected them.
3. They Help Catch Small Issues Before They Grow Into Big Problems
Your Hyundai mechanics conduct visual inspections of your vehicle whenever they’re doing maintenance checks. They know that as a driver, you rarely get the chance to see the hidden, hard-to-reach parts of your vehicle. When they find an issue, they will bring it to your attention, giving you a chance to see the problem for yourself.
Whenever they can, they will try to fix the issue on the spot. That way, you’ll leave the shop knowing that they addressed every problem during that one visit. If you skip maintenance checks, you can be certain that those little issues will continue to go unnoticed, and eventually, they’ll grow into big problems that almost always lead to costly repairs.
4. They Save You Time and Money
Vehicles rarely break down when it’s convenient for you. If you’re lucky, it simply won’t start when you need it, but it’s a lot more likely that it will break down in a location you’d prefer it hadn’t, or fail at the worst possible time. If you’re really unlucky, it’ll fail at a time or place that puts your life in danger.
You could lose a lot of time waiting for a tow and could end up spending a lot more on your repairs out of desperation. If you use your vehicle to help you make a living, getting regular maintenance checks don’t just help you keep it running, they help protect your investment.
