Auto Repair FAQs

Why is it important to bring my vehicle for service, maintenance and auto repair at a Hyundai dealership?

Hyundai dealerships are equipped to deal with any issue your vehicle may have, from routine maintenance to supplemental service. We strongly encourage our customers to take their vehicles to a Hyundai dealership where only factory-trained technicians will work on your vehicle. No one knows Hyundai vehicles better than our technicians! They have access to a specialized diagnostic system and tools designed especially for Hyundai vehicles. Hyundai dealerships are tied to the manufacturer, receive factory authorized instructions and use only Genuine Hyundai Parts and Accessories. Taking your Hyundai to your preferred Hyundai dealerships allows your vehicle to be properly maintained and serviced, which preserves the life of your car and ensures it will be covered by our warranty. Call us when your vehicle requires attention.

 

Why is it important to schedule my first service appointment?⁠

Setting up your first appointment to get your Hyundai serviced at a Hyundai dealership is extremely important. We suggest our customers schedule their first appointment while at Inver Grove Hyundai. This gives you the opportunity to meet the service advisor and service managers, who can explain your vehicle's maintenance requirements. 

If you were unable to schedule your appointment at the dealership, you can schedule an appointment by calling us, with Blue Link (if equipped), through the MyHyundai website, or through the Hyundai dealership website.

When should I get my Hyundai serviced?

It is important to have your Hyundai vehicle serviced at the recommended intervals in order for the vehicle to continue performing at its optimal level. For your Hyundai's recommended maintenance schedule, please click here for an online reference. You can also refer to the Maintenance section in the Owner's Manual or contact your Hyundai dealer for a full list of minimum maintenance requirements. The maintenance schedule will vary depending on how you drive and the conditions you drive in. Below is a list to help you determine your vehicle's category:

Driving conditions are considered severe:

·       For repeated short distances.

·       In dusty or sandy areas, in areas where salt or other corrosive materials are used.

·       On rough or muddy roads.

·       In mountainous areas.

·       For extended periods of idling or low speed operation.

·       For prolonged periods in cold or extremely humid climates.

·       More than 50% of driving in heavy city traffic in temperatures above 90°F.

·       If using brakes extensively.

Driving conditions are considered normal

·       If your car did not fall into the previous severe category

What if the check engine indicator light goes on?

This light comes on for a few seconds when the ignition key is turned to the "on" position and the engine is started. In the event of an emissions-related technical problem, the lamp can have two resulting warnings. A solid illumination warns of an engine emission issue. If this occurs, schedule a service visit. A flashing Check Engine lamp indicates a potentially severe issue and the engine should be shut off as soon as you have found a safe location in which to pull over. If, after engine shutdown and restart, the lamp continues to flash, contact Hyundai Roadside Assistance to have your vehicle safely transported. Roadside Assistance is available at this number: 1-800-243-7766.
