Should I Get My Car Serviced At A Dealership?

May 19th, 2022 by
You may think that once you buy your new car, you are done at the dealership. People think that they come to a dealer to make a purchase every few years and that’s it. But your relationship with us has only just begun after you have signed on the dotted line. Read on to see why.
 

What Auto Maintenance And Repairs Can A Dealer Do For You?

The investment you have made in your new vehicle now needs to be taken care of. Regular inspections and service by a factory-trained technician are vital to the healthy life of your car. Whether the maintenance needed is a routine oil change or you require something more such as a new transmission, your vehicle deserves service that is specialized to make certain it is taken care of properly.

Having regular inspections done on your vehicle will help ensure that it is safe to drive and perhaps find something that will require repair in the near future.

Some regular maintenance services provided by a dealership:
• Oil changes
• Check tires-tread depth, pressure, alignment
• Battery check-power, water level
• Filter replacements-oil, air, fuel
• Engine tune-ups
• Multi-point inspection
• Car wash

 
 
 
 

Other Reasons To Service At A Dealership

• Maintenance records – a dealership will have access via the factory database to view the service history of a vehicle.
• Software updates – the vehicle’s manufacturer sends updates to dealers and your dealer will have the most updated computers to install these updates.
• Parts recalls – the manufacturer sends replacement parts to dealerships.
• Training – technicians receive ongoing training to ensure they are knowledgeable and experts when it comes to fixing your vehicle.
 
 
 
 

Warranties

The warranty offered on your new vehicle will tell you where you can have your vehicle serviced. You want to make sure that you follow the rules of your warranty to assure that it won’t be voided.

Hyundai offers Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance. It includes normal, factory scheduled maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first.

The maintenance includes:
• Engine oil and oil filter changes
• Tire rotations
• Multi-point inspection

If your vehicle needs more frequent maintenance due to severe driving or conditions, these may be excluded.

 
 
 
 

Importance Of OEM Parts

An important factor when repairing your vehicle is the use of genuine OEM parts. Regardless if the parts needed are an oil filter, brake pads or struts, the best replacements are what came with your car when it was new. The certified techs are the best at making repairs as deemed by the manufacturer.
