    That seems to be the price whether a dealer or at Tire Kingdom, Midas
    or any big names that are advertising "we do warranty work". But do
    you trust a dealer over them??? I have a fellow officer who is a
    former technican who will do all my warranty checks & I just buy the
    parts at NAPA or Auto Zone. Didn't ask him his rate,..... (pizza & a
    12 pack of beer)

    There is nothing that says that you can't do the maintenance work
    yourself. Still, Hyundai dealerships are notorious for denying
    warranty claims when owners do the work themselves or modify their
    cars. If you do not have the work done at your dealer or at another
    major shop, make sure that you keep good records of when work was done
    and keep receipts for all parts and labor charges (if applicable).

    Also, my dealer charges $340 for the 30K work. Most of the shops in
    this area charge about the same. $280 sounds like a deal.

    Ganley Hyundai is meeting the advertised Tire Kingdom rate of $279, so
    they get it. I have a huge file folder for all receipts with most
    recent up front. So weird that Hyundai tells me 7500 for each oil
    change, yet I do 3500.

  6. Hyundai tells you 7500 for each oil change if you meet their completely
    impractical usage criteria. Almost all normal people will need to
    adhere to the "heavy duty" maintenance schedule, which dictates oil
    changes every 3000 miles.

    3000-3500 is oil change time 7000-7500 includes tire rotation.

    Amazing we have a troll from Saturn's group here.... yep, I had the
    joke in 1998 a SW1. Cheap car. BUT great GM folks built it to have
    the coolant mix with the oil thus burning up the engine in a year.
    $750 to rebuld it & 2 weeks later they recall it do to the
    problem............. BOY DID I SELL IT FAST & went Hyundai - GREAT
    CAR, GREAT COMPANY.

    2002 Sante Fe FWD 2 4 cyl, I get 6 year 72000 warranty, 10 year trans,
    as well as road side assistance due to their horsepower claim error.
    We did great on this purchase.
