Powered by a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine, every 2024 Tucson offers responsive acceleration and a smooth ride in the city, on the highway, and offroad. This crossover SUV is available in four trim levels, all of which come with an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Safety, Connectivity, and Infotainment

If you are looking for a vehicle that offers the latest tech features in the auto industry, look no further than the 2024 Tucson.

Your local Hyundai dealer offers a whole range of different services. You can buy new and used cars, sell your car, apply for car financing, and get any necessary car repairs. If you need any kind of Hyundai service, you know exactly where to go.

5 Services Offered by the Hyundai Service Department at Your Local Hyundai Dealer

1. General Automotive Repair

Is your car making a funny noise? Has it had decreased performance recently? That’s a sign that there’s something wrong with your car, so you should visit your local dealer and let the factory-trained technicians take a look. We repair problems with all of your car’s systems, from a faulty braking system to issues with your car’s electronics.

2. All Fluid Level Checks and Corrections

Humans have blood running through their veins to keep them going, and cars also contain lots of fluids that keep them running as they should. Unlike humans, cars can’t make more of their essential, life-sustaining fluids by themselves, so you need to visit the dealer for fluid level checks and corrections. If your dealer finds your car has low fluid levels, then you’ll get a fluid top-off.

Sometimes when you stop by, you’ll need more than a fluid level correction. Motor oil needs to be changed regularly, and other fluids also need to be fully replaced periodically. For example, you’ll need to replace your transmission fluid, brake fluid, engine coolant, power steering fluid, differential fluid, and windshield washer fluid at different intervals.

3. Preventative Car Maintenance

Getting repairs as needed helps keep your car in great shape, but so does getting preventative maintenance to stop issues before they arise. You need preventative maintenance approximately every six months. Forms of preventative maintenance include getting an oil change, having your car checked for wear and tear, and having filters and windshield wipers replaced.

4. Tune-Up

Tune-ups are another form of preventative maintenance, though they’re typically more intensive than the maintenance mentioned above. During a tune-up, older parts of your car will be swapped out for fresh, new ones. Parts that may be replaced include old hoses, belts, oil filters, spark plugs, and PCV valves.

Regularly replacing these parts helps your car work better for longer, and it stops age-related issues being caused by those parts that should be replaced periodically.

5. Battery Replacement

The car battery will need to be replaced every couple of years. Most batteries last between three and five years before they start causing issues. If your battery starts dying regularly, then you should let your dealer know as soon as possible. We can also check the health of your battery during your regular visits for preventative maintenance.

All drivers should have their car’s brakes routinely inspected by an experienced technician. In between servicing visits at your local Genesis dealer, also keep an eye out for the following signs of brake trouble. If your brakes start to deteriorate in any way, get brake service and repair immediately to avoid potentially hazardous issues on the road. 

5 Signs Your Genesis Needs a Brake Service 

Weakened Stopping Power

While blessedly rare, brakes can sometimes suddenly lose stopping power. If this ever happens to you, pull over as safely and quickly as possible. Brake failure can sometimes be caused by overheating brakes. Here, intense heat from continuous braking partially melts the brake pad, causing a tiny amount of gas to escape which reduces friction between the pad and rotor. 

Soft or Spongy Brake Pedal 

If your stopping power diminishes and your brake pedal feels soft or spongy underfoot, then you might have a brake fluid leak. Leaking brake fluid means some degree of hydraulic pressure is lost inside one of your brake lines.

Rhythmic Vibrations in the Pedal

When very old or weakened by overheating, rotor discs can occasionally become warped out of shape or scored by the brake pad. If one of your rotors becomes damaged, you may feel rhythmic vibrations through the brake pedal. It’s best to have a damaged rotor resurfaced or replaced without delay. 

Car Pulling to One Side

Brake issues will sometimes cause the vehicle to pull to one side when you press the brake pedal. The direction your car pulls toward will usually be the opposite of the side of the car with the brake problem. 

Squealing or Grinding Sounds 

Worn-out brake pads are often designed to emit a high-pitched squealing sound to let the driver know it’s time for a new pad. When brake pads lose their friction layer altogether, a loud grinding sound might be generated as metal scrapes directly on the rotor disc, which can cause serious damage if not promptly resolved. 

Get Semiannual Brake Checks at Your Genesis Dealer

Many drivers have their brakes inspected twice a year at the same time as their oil changes and tire rotations. A routine servicing schedule like this is the best way to reduce the risk of brake problems. 

When you take your car in, the technician will remove the wheels and all of the brake components to inspect each part. As well as identifying and repairing potential problems, they can also let you know how much longer your brake pads and rotors are likely to last. 

Have your brakes examined and repaired today at Hyundai of Charleston in South Carolina. We’re a welcoming, community-oriented full-service dealership offering top-notch vehicles and customer service to everyone who steps foot through our doors.

Your car battery powers your Hyundai’s engine. If your battery is weak, it can cause various issues, such as electronics malfunctioning and difficulty starting the car. It’s important to watch for the following warning signs from your Hyundai dealer that indicate the need for a new car battery.

6 Signs Your Hyundai Needs a New Car Battery From Your Hyundai Dealer

1. Illuminated Battery or Check Engine Warning Lights

The battery or check engine warning lights come on if your battery is weak and not supplying the proper amount of energy to the computer. To avoid a breakdown, have your Hyundai technician inspect and test the battery to see if a replacement is necessary.

2. You Have Electronics Problems

The battery powers the electronics, and when it’s weak, you might notice issues related to the accessories. For instance, your infotainment system may malfunction, the headlights may appear dimmer or flicker, and the windshield wipers and windows may move slower. Only use necessary electronic features until your technician thoroughly examines the battery.

3. It’s Hard To Start Your Car

There is insufficient power to start your car when the battery is weak. When you turn the key, clicking is a tell-tale sign that you need a new battery. Various factors affect a battery’s lifespan, including age, extreme temperatures, loose connections, and corrosion. It is crucial to replace your battery as soon as you encounter starting issues to avoid being stranded on the side of the road.

4. The Battery Case Is Swollen

If your battery is subjected to very high or low temperatures, it can undergo a chemical reaction. This results in the battery case’s deformation and swelling, which may even crack. If you notice damage to the battery case, it indicates that you should replace the battery with a new one. 

5. You Smell Hydrogen Sulfide

If you detect a pungent smell of rotten eggs inside or around your car, it may result from overcharging. When lead-acid batteries are shaken, moved, or recharged, they can create a hazardous mix of hydrogen and oxygen gases released through the battery’s vents. These gases can ignite easily and cause a fire or explosion if they accumulate in a confined space.

6. You Have To Jump-Start Your Car

When you need assistance from a kind stranger to jump-start your car, it’s a sign that it might be time for a battery replacement. This is especially true if it’s not your first time using jumper cables to get your car going. Batteries have a limited lifespan and deteriorate over time. If your battery is more than three years old, have your technician run a battery test to check if it’s still functioning properly.

If you notice the above signs, take prompt action. Ask your Hyundai technician for a battery inspection and test to determine if a battery replacement is necessary. Stop at Hyundai of Charleston today, and we will check your battery. If you need a new one, we will help you find the ideal battery from a range of top-quality batteries that provide long-lasting power.
