For families in the market for a spacious and reliable three-row SUV, the ownership experience extends beyond just the vehicle’s features and performance. Long-term maintenance costs and ensuring your SUV runs smoothly for years to come are significant considerations. Hyundai understands this concern, and offers a valuable program that adds peace of mind to your family vehicle purchase: Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance.
What exactly does Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance mean for owners of their popular three-row SUVs like the Palisade or Santa Fe? It’s a program designed to cover essential routine maintenance services, helping you keep your vehicle in top condition without unexpected costs in the crucial early years of ownership. Specifically, for new 2020 through 2025 Hyundai models purchased or leased from February 1, 2020, Hyundai provides complimentary oil and oil filter changes using Hyundai-approved products, along with tire rotations, at factory-recommended intervals for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This coverage applies under normal driving conditions, ensuring your family SUV receives the necessary care to maintain its reliability.
Thinking about the typical wear and tear a three-row SUV endures – family road trips, school runs, and daily errands – regular maintenance is paramount. Hyundai’s program covers these key services:
- Oil Changes: Essential for engine health, regular oil changes are covered, keeping your engine running efficiently and preventing premature wear.
- Tire Rotations: Rotating tires at recommended intervals ensures even wear, extending tire life and maintaining optimal handling and safety for your family.
- Multi-Point Inspections: While not explicitly listed in all program descriptions, many dealers include multi-point inspections during these service visits, giving you a comprehensive check-up of your vehicle’s vital systems.
It’s important to note a few key terms of the Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance program. The services must be performed at authorized Hyundai dealerships to ensure quality and adherence to Hyundai standards. The program is for the original owner and is not transferable, although it can be transferred between spouses. Also, while this program covers essential maintenance, it doesn’t include wear and tear items like brake pads, air filters, or cabin filters, nor does it cover services listed as “inspect” in the owner’s manual. More frequent maintenance due to severe driving conditions is also excluded.
For families considering a Hyundai three-row SUV, the Complimentary Maintenance program is a significant benefit. It reduces the financial burden of routine maintenance in the first few years of ownership, contributing to a more predictable and budget-friendly car ownership experience. Knowing that essential services like oil changes and tire rotations are covered allows you to focus on enjoying your family adventures in your spacious and dependable Hyundai SUV, with added peace of mind knowing you’re taking care of its long-term health. Always consult your Hyundai dealer for complete program details and vehicle eligibility to fully understand the benefits available to you.
