Crain Hyundai of Little Rock

Dec 10, 2020

It is important to schedule service for your Hyundai regularly. Keeping up with the maintenance on your car will save you money in the long run by catching small problems before they become expensive repairs. But getting a Hyundai service isn’t just about saving you money. Making sure your car is in good working order also keeps you safe. 

There’s another, often overlooked, benefit to having your car regularly serviced: added resale value. If you ever wanted to sell your Hyundai, being able to present all of your service records will definitely help you seal the deal. One of the great things about getting a new Hyundai is that it often comes with free maintenance for a period of time.

Oil and Filter Change

 

Keeping up with your oil changes is the single most important thing you can do to maintain the health of your engine. Making sure you change your air filters when they become too dirty will also add to the life of your engine. Oil and filter changes are included when you have your Hyundai brought in for service.

It’s important to note that your oil and filters will need to be changed more often than your car needs to be serviced. So, you can’t rely solely on your routine service appointments to address those issues. However, it’s a good idea to remember when it’s time for your service so that you can schedule oil changes accordingly and not waste money getting them done elsewhere.

Tire Rotation Is Part of Your Hyundai Service

 

You’ll also get your tires rotated when you have your vehicle is serviced. Rotating your tires improves handling and helps your tires maintain traction. Traction is very important in slick conditions and rotating your tires is essential to keeping you safe on the road. Also, many tire warranties are voided if you do not get your tires rotated within a recommended time, so keep that in mind.

Multi-Point Inspection

 

When a mechanic performs a multi-point inspection on your car, he or she checks so many things that, instead of listing them all, the term multi-point inspection is used. If you want to know every single thing that is included in this type of inspection, consult your Hyundai Care guide or consult the mechanic who will be performing the service beforehand.

In general, however, during a multi-point inspection, you can expect to have all of your fluids checked (and filled if necessary), your brakes checked, your lights checked as well as your windshield and wipers. Again, this may not be everything included in your multi-point inspection.

When your car is driving well and you don’t see any obvious signs of a problem, it may be easy to put off having your car serviced. As the old saying goes, though, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. You don’t want to wait until you hear a strange noise, or worse, to have your car serviced. Stop into Cain Hyundai for your service needs or if you’re looking for a new vehicle.
