When you get a car that’s new-to-you, one of the first things most owners look to do is to have the car looked over by an independent mechanic to understand what the car may need. Whether your used Hyundai is recently acquired or an old companion, there are some services that can help keep it running smoothly for years to come and offer peace of mind in the process. Here’s our guide to three essential elements of Hyundai service.

Used Hyundai Service Guide: Ensuring Reliability and Longevity

Multi-Point Inspections

Multi-point inspections are the automotive equivalent of a doctor’s check-up. Our team of expert mechanics will inspect the car inside and out, looking for telltale signs of wear and tear and ensuring the vehicle is safe to drive. The service includes things like checking fluid levels, gauging tire life and inflation, inspecting brake lines, and more.

This is an especially important service if you’ve just acquired your Hyundai, since you may not have a complete picture of its service record and owners can sometimes “forget” to mention nagging or needed service issues.

Oil Changes

No matter what year or model of Hyundai you drive, you’ll need to change the oil periodically. Whether your current oil life hits its mileage marker or its expiration date first, it’s important not to wait until both criteria are reached, since oil degrades both with use and with time. Delaying oil changes can lead to engine sludge buildup and long-term damage or inefficiency in the engine.

The good news is that oil changes are quick and affordable, making them one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your Hyundai and keep it running smoothly for a long time to come.

Brake Service

Brakes are a critical component of your Hyundai’s safety, and it’s important to have them serviced appropriately. Newly purchased used Hyundais should have their brakes inspected, since it can be hard to tell if braking performance has changed or become slightly spongy when you don’t fully know the vehicle yet. It’s also important to have your brakes checked if you experience a grinding noise, a high-pitched squeaking, or any vibration in the brake pedal when slowing or stopping.

Whether it’s an oil change, a brake service, or a multi-point inspection, our team of knowledgeable and friendly staff will take great care of your Hyundai. Schedule your next service today at Twins Auto of Dublin in Dublin, OH
