Hyundai repair and maintenance
Hyundai is on TRUE Automotive’s list of makes. Hyundai backs original owners with a long powertrain warranty, so keep your maintenance records. You do not have to use the dealer for maintenance to keep the warranty in effect (FTC).
When you book, give the model (for example Sonata), the year and whether the check engine light is steady or flashing.
Common work on Hyundai
- Check engine light
- A steady light means book a diagnosis soon. A flashing light means a misfire bad enough to harm the catalytic converter: slow down and have it checked right away.
- Normal or severe schedule
- Hyundai owner’s manuals list a normal and a severe maintenance schedule. Short trips, heavy stop-and-go traffic and hot weather can put a car on the severe one.
