How Often Should You Get a Vehicle Inspection?

Check your vehicle's owner manual to determine the recommended maintenance intervals for your car. Most manufacturers recommend having your vehicle inspected by a technician every year. By getting regular vehicle inspections, you can maintain the performance and condition of your vehicle and identify potential problems before they become larger, more expensive issues.

It can be helpful to schedule a multi-point inspection every time you get your car's oil changed. At Huffines Hyundai Plano, we can complete this inspection quickly when we change the oil or rotate your tires. Contact our service center for more information about this inspection.

Short-Term Hyundai Vehicle Maintenance

While some vehicle issues may be outside of your control, you can often extend the life and performance of your vehicle with regular preventive maintenance. Use this checklist to know what to do in the short term to keep your vehicle performing optimally:

Tire Tread

Get into the habit of inspecting your tires regularly to check the pressure and tread. You can easily measure the tire tread by placing a penny into the tread groove with Lincoln's head pointing down. If you can see his entire head, your tire tread is less than 2/32 inches, which means it may be time to replace your tires.

Headlights, Taillights, Brakes, and Turn Signals

While you may notice when a headlight goes out, it can be easy to overlook the other lights on your vehicle. Every month, check these lights to make sure they're working properly, and have a friend help you check the brake lights by asking them to stand behind the vehicle as you apply the brakes.

Oil and Filter Changes

Check your vehicle's owner manual for the recommended oil change interval. Newer vehicles may have recommended intervals of 5,000 to 10,000 miles, while others may recommend changing the oil every three months or 3,000 miles. You can bring your car to Huffines Hyundai Plano for regular oil changes.

Tire Rotations

Typically, you should have your tires rotated every six months, but check the owner's manual to make sure. Rotating your tires regularly can help you extend their lifespan, boost efficiency, and optimize your car's performance. Read more about it here

Long-Term Hyundai Vehicle Maintenance

In addition to routine short-term maintenance, most vehicle manufacturers recommend additional maintenance after the car reaches a certain mileage, such as 30,000 or 60,000 miles. This long-term maintenance may include:

Transmission Fluid

Like the engine oil, transmission fluid acts as a lubricant to keep your car's transmission working correctly. Check these fluid levels per the manufacturer's recommendation to avoid costly transmission problems. Typically, transmission fluid in a manual transmission vehicle can last up to 60,000 miles, while in automatic transmission cars it can last up to 100,000 miles.

Shocks and Struts

Worn or damaged shocks and struts can result in a bumpy, uncomfortable ride. It's typically recommended to have a professional mechanic inspect these components every 50,000 miles or whenever you notice instability while driving.

Battery

Your car's battery has an important role in supplying electric current for the engine and other electronic systems in your car. Start testing your battery after three years to ensure it's performing optimally. Typically, a battery may need to be replaced after five years.

New Tires

Your car's tires can typically last between six and 10 years, though their lifespan can depend on road conditions and use. Check your tire tread regularly or bring your car to a dealership to know when it's time for  new tires.

Routine vehicle maintenance is an important part of keeping your car running its best. By following a regular maintenance schedule, you can boost your car's performance and efficiency while helping to prevent costly repairs in the future. You can bring your car to Huffines Hyundai Plano for routine maintenance. Our expert service technicians will inspect your vehicle, identify any issues, and make recommendations to help keep your vehicle in prime condition.

How To Know When Your Hyundai Needs Maintenance

By bringing your car to a dealership for routine maintenance, you can often prevent significant problems. But sometimes, unexpected maintenance is unavoidable. Most people know it's important to bring their car in for service when the "check engine" light appears, but there are other signs your vehicle may require maintenance. These include:

• Braking issues: It's important to address any issues with your brakes immediately to ensure your safety. Some common issues you may notice include scraping sounds or increased braking intervals.

• Slower acceleration: If you notice your vehicle struggles to accelerate as quickly as it once did, this may be a sign that it's time for engine maintenance.

• Poor efficiency: Significant changes in your gas mileage could mean there are problems with the vehicle's sensors or fuel injectors.

If you notice any of these problems with your car, or if something just doesn't seem quite right, make an appointment with our service center today. Our expert technicians will inspect your vehicle to determine the cause of the issue and make recommendations for maintenance or repairs.

Why Is Regular Car Maintenance Important?

Routine maintenance is one of the best ways to keep your vehicle running smoothly for years to come. While this maintenance may have upfront costs, it can often save you money by helping you avoid more expensive repairs down the road. If you drive a newer vehicle, routine maintenance may be a condition of your warranty, which means taking your car in for regular service appointments can help you keep this protection in place. In addition, performing routine maintenance on your vehicle can help improve its sale price or trade-in value when you're ready to upgrade to a newer car.
