Hi there --I'm just wondering whether you have an obligation to take your car to a Hyundai dealer for servicing if you are leasing a car from them. I'm in Canada.

I was thinking of doing the oil/air filter stuff and tire rotations myself, and keeping a record, and the other work to a mechanic I trust. I'm not really happy with the available dealer in my area. And I do plan on buying the car.

Thanks for you advice, -Jack
 
no problems at all servicing yourself, hyundai even has a 'saturday' mechanics section in their owners manual ... just keep ALL records,reciepts,dates/miles when things done and use , i know... ahhk genuwine hyundai air filters, oil fil;eters etc. (saves grief incase of a warranty claim)

Y'know, if I knew all of the BS that Hyundai puts you through just to get warranty service I would have went with another manufacturer.
 
yeah, and you would have paid a new thousand dollars more to save ya from all those "so called MAJOUR inconviences" get over it. Hyundai is a great car at a great price...

Thanks for your advice. It is a real load off my mind. I'd much prefer to do these things myself, but I wasn't sure if I signed it away in the lease.

BTW --I did see the section in the manual, but wasn't sure if it only applied to people who've bought the car, as opposed to leasing.

I'm really happy to hear this,

Does your lease say anything about servicing the car?

You can take your Hyundai to any servie center for maintenance. Hyundai will notify you when it is time to call them for servicing...oil changes...etc per manual.. but I just garbage it and go to my QuikLube center for the usual work. I even had some body work done due to other car doors and grocery carts. I used my insurance company for an estimate and the gave me some money to get the side fixed. I went to a reputable body garage that has been doin business for years. They took out the scratches and it was made to look good again. And that receipt from the garage and insurance will be with the papers I submit to Hyundai when I take the car back when the lease is up. Im keeping my car also. It is a Accent GL and i like it. Bob

Here's the section that has to do with maintenance.

22. Maintenance, Repairs, Operating Expenses and Return of Vehicle:

You must, at your expence, maintain and repair the Vehicle and keep it in good working order and condition....

You must also ensure that the Vehicle is serviced as the manufacturer recommends in the Owner's Manual and Maintenance Schedule that comes with the Vehicle and as the manufacturer requests in any recall campaign so as to keep the manufacturer's warranty in effect.

BTW --Where do you get genuine hyundair air filters, oil filters, etc? Do you have to purchase them from the dealer?

Thanks again,

If that's it, I see no reason why you couldn't do the work yourself (keeping ALL receipts and such info). The various filters may be purchased from the dealer. Or you can use after market products. Just don't buy the absolute cheapest junk. Pick the middle ground. ;-)
