Essential Hyundai Maintenance Services
1. Oil Changes
Regular oil changes are critical to your engine’s health. Engine oil lubricates moving parts, reduces friction, and prevents overheating. Skipping an oil change can lead to engine damage and decreased fuel efficiency. At Shaker's Family Hyundai, we provide manufacturer-recommended oil and filter replacements to keep your engine running smoothly.
2. Brake Service
Your braking system is one of the most important safety features of your vehicle. Routine brake service includes inspecting brake pads, rotors, calipers, and fluid levels. If you notice squeaking, grinding, or reduced stopping power, schedule an appointment at Shaker's Family Hyundai certified service center immediately.
3. Tire Maintenance
Proper tire maintenance improves handling, fuel economy, and safety. Regular tire rotations, balancing, and alignments help extend tire life and prevent uneven wear. Checking your tire pressure regularly also helps maintain optimal performance.
4. Battery Inspections and Replacement
Your battery powers essential components, from starting the engine to running electronics. A weak or failing battery can leave you stranded. During regular maintenance, technicians check battery health and replace it if necessary.
5. Transmission and Cooling System Service
Your transmission and cooling systems play a vital role in your Hyundai’s performance. Transmission fluid needs periodic replacement to ensure smooth shifting, while the cooling system prevents overheating. Sticking to the recommended service schedule helps keep these systems in peak condition.

While regular maintenance helps prevent issues, it’s important to recognize signs that your Hyundai may need repairs. If you experience any of the following, schedule service at Shaker's Family Hyundai promptly:
-
Unusual noises from the engine, brakes, or suspension
