A tire rotation is one of the many essential services that you can get at your local Hyundai dealership, and it's one that you should be getting pretty regularly. Making your tires last longer and improving ride quality are two of the reasons you should stick to your service schedule when it comes to getting your tires rotated, so let's explore this further. more How Often You Need a Tire Rotation You need to get your tires rotated at least twice a year. However, if you drive more than the average driver, then you'll need to come by for this service more often. Typically, the tires on your car need to be rotated every 5,000 miles, so keep an eye on your odometers so you know when it's time to schedule your next visit. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. Some vehicle models have different requirements for how often they need their tires rotated, so you should always check your owner's manual or talk to your technician about your specific vehicle's needs. Why Visiting the Hyundai Dealership for Rotations Is So Important It Causes Even Tread Wear The tread on your tires has a really important job. It grips the road to improve handling, braking performance, and traction overall. Over time, though, this tread wears away, so you'll have to replace your tires when the tread gets too worn down. When you don't rotate your tires, that tread doesn't wear down evenly, meaning you'll be replacing some tires more frequently than others. It's typically more cost-effective and way more convenient to replace all four tires at once, so doing everything you can to make sure the tread wears down evenly is extremely helpful. It Leads to Better Handling When the tread depth is more or less the same across all four of your tires, it leads to a better driving experience. Each tire has the same amount of traction, and it keeps handling consistent. Better handling leads to safer driving, and it's especially important to have great control over your car when cornering and braking. It Benefits the Rest of Your Car When your tires aren't evenly worn down, it can stress out other parts of your car, especially if you have an all-wheel-drive vehicle. The components that make up your drivetrain are expensive, so minimizing the stress on them should definitely be a priority if you want to avoid expensive or frequent repairs. So, it's not just your tires that last longer when you get regular rotations. Stop by Tony Hyundai Waipio in Waipahu, HI approximately every six months to get your tires rotated. Make sure you also talk to us about other services that will keep your car in great shape.

Modern automatic transmissions are remarkably advanced and complex, containing as many as 800 different parts. While transmitting power from the engine to the wheels under enormous pressure, transmissions can undergo rapid wear and tear if not properly cared for. For this reason, it's important for every Hyundai driver to have the following transmission services routinely carried out at their local Hyundai dealership. more Why Timely Transmission Service Is Crucial for Your Hyundai Keep Your Transmission Fluid Fresh With so many moving parts, transmissions are always at risk of overheating. Transmission fluid reduces this risk, lowering friction and heat by lubricating each moving part. The fluid also helps maintain hydraulic pressure, cleans out metal fragments and other debris from the gears, and combats corrosion. However, transmission fluid can gradually degrade and even start to burn under so much pressure. To mitigate this danger, it's important to regularly have your transmission fluid inspected and topped up. It will also need to be flushed and replaced entirely every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. If your car has a manual transmission, you may need to flush the fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. Always use the type of fluid that Hyundai recommends for your model. Replace the Transmission Filter While circulating through the system, transmission fluid carries dirt and contaminants to the filter, where it collects and is kept away from the gears. Over time, transmission filters can start to fill up, whereupon the debris might start to flow back into the transmission. To avoid this, the technician will replace the filter whenever they find it filling up. Inspect the Transmission Pan During a full transmission servicing, the pan will also be inspected for damage. The transmission pan serves as a reservoir for the transmission fluid, and either the pan or its gasket can sometimes become a source of leaks. The pan needs to be periodically cleaned and the gasket replaced. Check for Damage and Worn-Out Parts During full servicing, the technicians can also inspect more of the transmission interior for any indication of friction damage or malfunctions. This will involve test-driving the car and making sure the gears feel and sound good while shifting. Visit Your Hyundai Dealer for Transmission Servicing Every 30,000 Miles Most drivers should have their transmission properly serviced every 30,000 miles or so. This usually works out to once every two years. However, if you ever experience trouble with your shifting, or detect unusual sounds or vibrations, have a trusted technician take a look without delay. Visit Tony Hyundai Waipio in Waipahu, HI, today to have your transmission inspected and repaired by experienced professionals. We're a local award-winning, family owned and operated dealership that's dedicated to helping out the region's drivers to the very best of our abilities.
