  • They have the highest level of training and knowledge, and their labor rates may reflect this

“Independent” refers to a service center that services multiple makes instead of specializing. In addition:

  • Independents tend to be generalists with a broad level of knowledge and training on many vehicles

About Differential Fluid Flush

BulletIcon
In addition to wheels, a vehicle’s drive axle includes a differential unit, which uses gears to synchronize the rate at which the wheels rotate. When your vehicle turns, the inside wheels don’t need to make as many rotations as the outside wheels, which have a greater distance to cover. The differential helps keep the axle from binding up from this difference in turning rates. A thin coat of oil lubricates these gears, and that oil needs to be changed from time to time. Your owner’s manual or maintenance minder will tell you when to replace it. If the oil becomes contaminated or the level drops too low, the gears could be damaged, which would lead to a more expensive repair or replacement.

Hyundai Dealership Repair Options

After purchasing or leasing a new Hyundai, it’s a good idea to seek out repairs at your local Hyundai dealer or Hyundai Recognized Collision Repair Center. Consider them as the first point of repair for proper care of your Hyundai vehicle. They will have the latest information on your Hyundai vehicle, as well as the latest recall notices and service bulletins, as issued by the manufacturer.

In the case of a leased vehicle, many lease contracts, including those from Hyundai Motor Finance, Hyundai’s financial partner, will require the use of original equipment parts when it comes to making the vehicle whole again.

Hyundai also has a Recognized Collision Repair Center program to ensure that both independent and Hyundai dealership-owned collision repair centers have the proper training, tools, equipment and facilities needed to repair Hyundai vehicles that were involved in collisions.

Training

Hyundai-certified repair mechanics receive factory training on the latest techniques and are required to take certification tests. Technical service bulletins are regularly issued to update Hyundai dealers on the latest information to provide a successful repair to your Hyundai automobiles. Hyundai Recognized Collision Repair Centers receive yearly audits as well to make sure they are up to the current standards required by the brand.

Loan car policy

The Hyundai Assurance Blue Link Connected Car program provides three years of enhanced roadside assistance and five years of unlimited roadside assistance. The program offers towing, trip interruption assurance, keys locked in car, and coverage for flats, dead batteries, and if you find yourself out of gas. Towing can even be provided for non-warranty-related episodes such as accidents.

Although Hyundai does not offer loaner vehicles as a rule, certain dealers may be the exception. If your Hyundai vehicle is in for collision repair, the extended use of a loaner or rental vehicle may be covered by an insurance policy rider.

Collision repairs

By choosing a Hyundai Recognized Collision Repair Center shop, owners can be assured their vehicles will be repaired as closely as possible to the standards their Hyundai vehicles achieved when they were new.
