30,000 mile service check up
It is time for my 2007 Sonata to be brought in for the 30,000 mile check up. I called and they told me it is $499 plus tax and disposal fees. I can bet it will be near $600 when it is all said and done. I am having a hard time spending this money on something that is not broken. If I choose not to bring the car in, is this a bad move? Also, would this affect my extended service plan that I pay monthly? Basically...I am considering not bringing the car in for the service and canceling my extended service plan. Times are a bit tough withthe loss of my job and I am will willing to take the risk if something goes wrong with the car andtaking care of it at that time.
Any thoughts out there? Thank you. |
RE: 30,000 mile service check up
I've done the 30K service on 3 different Hyundai/Kia cars. The prices were $351.87 for my 2004 Tiburon GT (2.7L V6), $532.07 for my 2006 Tucson GLS (2.7L V6) and $475.64 for my 2006 Kia Sedona EX (3.8L V6). The 2 Hyundai's were done at the same Hyundai delaership while the Kia was done at a Kia dealership.
The service consisted of: - oil/filter change - tire rotation - replace coolant - replace automatic trans fluid (complete flush, not just draining thepan) - all inspections (drive belts, fuel lines/hoses, brake hoses/lines, brake linings/calipers/rotors/drums, exhaust, suspension, power steering pump/hoses, CV joints/boots, A/C, brake fluid, tires) Also normally included in the 30K service is replacing the engine air filter and cabin air filters. However, these were not changed in my 3 vehicles because theywere already changed by myself prior to the 30K service.

RE: 30,000 mile service check up
Thanks to all who posted to my concern. I called a few other Hyundai dealers in my area and was told two different prices besides the $499 I was quoted. One place told me $450 and another said $867! I asked if I were to do thework myself and keep the receipts, if that would be enough to keep my warranty from being voided. They told me yes it would, but I wouldHAVE to use Hyundai transmission fluid.
Can I get this anywhere, or do I need to pruchase it from a dealer? I forgot to ask this when I was speaking with the service dept. Thanks again! |

I think it's Hyundai only. Someone said it's Mitshbishi spec.

Hyundai automatics REQUIRE SP-III transmission fluid. You don't have to buy specifically Hyundai trans fluid, you can buy another brand as long as it is alsoSP-III.

Yes it is a bad move. If something goes wrong and you can't prove the service was done, your warranty will be voided. The warranty is only good if all required maintenance is completed. |
Glad to help. Here's to another 30K trouble-free miles.
