Servicing FAQ's

Keeping your vehicle in optimum condition is about more than simply bringing it in for an annual service or MOT. Many of our customers like to ensure they stay on top of vehicle maintenance at home too, and therefore have questions about various elements of Hyundai care, such as when a particular part should be changed or how much different service options cost.

In this FAQ section, we aim to answer some of the most common questions that arise in relation to Hyundai vehicle maintenance. We hope you’ll find it a useful tool when you’re looking for information about any aspect of aftersales, from servicing and parts to warranties and roadside assistance.

Should you require more detailed advice, feel free to give our team in Thornbury a call or contact us via our Live Chat service. We’ll be happy to answer your questions or book your Hyundai in for aftercare.
