Service FAQ

Riverhead Hyundai's Service FAQ

Here are just a few of the frequently asked questions we get here at Riverhead Hyundai, concerning vehicle service and maintenance:

How do I know when to get my vehicle serviced?

Every vehicle should come with an owner’s manual, which will include specific information on your car’s make and model – including how often to get it serviced. We recommend writing this information down and making a note each time your car receives maintenance, to keep track.

Why is it important to see a Hyundai-certified technician?

The technicians who have been trained on Hyundai vehicles will understand your Hyundai model better than anyone possibly could. No other technician knows Hyundai models inside and out like those who have been Hyundai-certified.

How frequently should I change my oil?

This depends on your specific car as well as how frequently you drive in harsh conditions. Consult your owner’s manual for a general guideline, and consider checking your oil in between changes, just to be safe.

How much should I inflate my tires?

This information is also vehicle-specific, and can be found in your owner’s manual. Both under-inflated and over-inflated tires can be dangerous, potentially causing blowouts on the road, so be sure to keep your tires inflated properly and evenly.

When should I change my windshield wiper blades?

The average windshield wiper blades should last for anywhere from six months to a year , but if you notice that yours aren’t performing as well as you’d like, it doesn’t hurt to replace them faster. Be sure to keep an eye out for poor performance, especially in winter.
