Battery Check and Replacement

The battery powers the starter, which cranks your engine. As the engine cranks, the combustion process begins, and your Hyundai will run under its own power. A weak battery can prevent this. You could experience slow cranking or even the dreaded click-click of a dead battery. We want to prevent this, and we have two services that can help.

We can check your battery’s capabilities by connecting it to our battery tester. This machine will show your battery strength and potential future life. Once you know your battery condition, you can rest easy or choose another battery if your battery is failing. Our experienced technicians will help you choose the best battery for your Hyundai, and then we’ll install it while you wait.

Brake Maintenance and Repair

If your brakes aren’t working well, you and your car are in danger of an accident. Your brakes should act in seconds to stop your car exactly when you need to. Over time, your barking system will suffer wear and tear. Brake fluid ages and becomes less efficient, brake pads wear out, and calipers can develop rust.

We can service your brake to fix these problems. During a service, our Hyundai-trained technicians examine every part of your braking system. They can replace worn or damaged parts, and their expert knowledge allows them to identify any issues that could become future problems. After a service, your braking system will feel like new again.

Tire Rotation

Your tire will slowly wear down over time as you drive. Tire rubber also ages, and older tires lose their flexibility and can develop cracks. In addition, each tire suffers wear on different sections depending on their position on your car. It’s impossible to stop a tire from wearing out, but we have a tire rotation service that reduces the damage and will keep them healthy for longer.

During a tire rotation, we shift each of your tires to a different position. This helps to equalize wear and reduces the chances of worn tires developing punctures or blowouts. We also keep a full range of all the major tire brands, so we can install replacements when you need them.

We only use genuine Hyundai parts in all our repairs, and all our technicians are trained and certified by Hyundai. When you need a service, choose the best. Call our service department today at Hyundai of Charleston.

Dealership financing is a fast, transparent, and easy alternative to getting a car loan from a bank. As your Hyundai dealer in Charleston, SC, we want to tell you about some of the benefits of choosing financing through us and how the process works.

Navigating Dealership Financing With Your Hyundai Dealer in Charleston, SC

We Work With You

Not every driver has perfect credit, and this can be a problem in bank financing. Usually, a bank will only offer credit on good terms to clients who have a high credit score. A potential client who can’t match their set credit requirements is likely to politely but firmly be refused credit. In this situation, the only option is to start the credit application process again with a different bank. At your dealership, we view this situation very differently. We understand that a perfect credit score isn’t everything. We work with customers who have average credit and credit that needs some improvement. Our finance department offers a personalized service, tailored to you as an individual. We’ll work hard to secure financing for the car you deserve.

You Have Options

If you get a car loan from a bank, the terms they offer are very rarely negotiable. A bank has set credit policies, terms, and interest payments. If you choose their loan, you could be stuck with interest payments or a loan term that might cause you a financial burden in the future. A bank can also only offer you one option for a deal. Our finance department, in contrast, works with a variety of banks and credit providers. Since we work with many finance providers, we can provide you with a variety of loan options. This gives you more freedom to choose the terms and repayment schedule that fits your wallet the best.

How Does It Work?

Use Our Online Tools

We have some online tools that can help you. Our handy payment calculator can be found under the finance tab on our website. This tool allows you to estimate your monthly payments and potential buying power with just a few keystrokes. If you have a vehicle you want to trade in towards the cost of the deal, you can get a quick trade-in value estimate using the Kelly Blue Book tool on our website.

Get Pre-Approved

You can pre-approval from the comfort of your home. Visit our website and choose the finance tab. We offer a simple four-section online form for you to complete and send to us. Once we receive your application, our finance department will be in contact with finance options customized to you. If you’d like more information on our financing process, or to apply for finance, contact us today at Hyundai of Charleston.

Whether it’s performance power or amenities, it’s easy to see why the Kona is such a popular model at your local Hyundai dealer. 

The 2024 Hyundai Kona at Your Hyundai Dealer: Five Features Drivers Love

1. Fuel Economy

All four trim levels of the 2024 Kona have great fuel economy. The SE FWD gets 29 MPG in the city and 34 MPG on the interstate, and the SE AWD gets 27 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the interstate. The SEL FWD has a combined fuel economy of 31 MPG, while the SEL AWD has a combined estimate of 27 MPG. 

The N Line FWD and Limited FWD models get 26 MPG in the city and 32 MPG on the highway. The N Line AWD and Limited AWD models get 24 MPG in the city and 29 MPG on the highway. 

2. Powertrain

The base SE and SEL models both have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, which produces 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. For the SE model, an idle stop-and-go feature is standard. Both of these trims also have an intelligent variable transmission and a SHIFTRONIC manual shift mode as standard features. 

The N Line and Limited models have a 1.6-liter turbo-GDI four-cylinder engine that generates 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. These trims have an eight-speed automatic transmission, column-mounted shift by wire, and paddle shifters.

The SE has 17-inch alloy wheels and the SEL has 18-inch alloy wheels. The N Line trim has unique 19-inch N Line design alloy wheels, while the Limited trim has 19-inch alloys. Alloy wheels are an ideal feature since these wheels weigh less and contribute to more responsive vehicle handling. Alloy wheels are also more resistant to corrosion.

Lighting is a crucial safety feature on a vehicle, and the Kona has all the latest technology. The standard exterior lights for the SE, SEL, and N Line trims include LED projector combination headlights, LED daytime running lights, LED combination headlights, high beam assist, and an LED roof-mounted center high-mount stop light. The Limited trim has LED projector headlights, full-time LED daytime running lights, and LED taillights. 

5. Five-Passenger Seating

All four trims of the 2024 Kona can seat five passengers. The SE and SEL have cloth seating surfaces, the N Line has N Line Black Alcantara sport combination fabric, and the Limited trim has H-Tex leatherette-trimmed seating. Heated and ventilated front seats are standard for the Limited trim.

Below, your Hyundai dealer lists what you need to ensure you have a well-stocked car tool kit in your trunk for unexpected roadside emergencies. With the right tools at your disposal, you can get out of nearly any fix.

The Essential Car Tool Kit From Your Hyundai Dealer: Preparedness on the Go

Wrenches

Wrenches are an absolute necessity. Invest in a set of socket wrenches and at least one ratchet handle with an adapter. Also, add a socket extender for those hard-to-reach nuts and bolts and a high-quality adjustable wrench that fits various nuts and bolts. It’s wise to include a torque wrench in your kit to ensure that you’re not over-tightening nuts, bolts, and screws.

Screwdrivers

Ensure you have both Phillips and standard screwdrivers to get the job done. Additionally, consider adding an offset screwdriver to your toolbox to tackle those hard-to-reach screws. For added convenience, you can opt for an offset screwdriver with a standard and a Phillips head.

Pliers

Slip-joint pliers offer adjustable widths, making them versatile for various tasks. Additionally, it’s a good idea to include two flat-blade pliers of different sizes in your kit for added functionality.

Jack and Lug Wrench

A jack and a lug wrench in your trunk is always a good idea. You never know when you’ll need to change a flat and mount your spare. 

Tire Pressure Gauges and Inflators

Checking your tire pressure regularly with a gauge is crucial to ensure your tires are inflated to the recommended levels. Additionally, add tire inflators with sealing properties for quick fixes during emergencies.

Jumper Cables

If you want to be well-prepared for emergencies on the road, include high-quality jumper cables with strong clamps. If you find yourself with a dead battery, having a reliable set of jumper cables will come in handy.

Tow Strap

It’s always better to be safe than sorry. You may never need to use a tow strap, but it can give you peace of mind knowing you have it in an emergency.

Duct Tape

Did you know that duct tape is a versatile fix-it that can patch up almost anything? Duct tape is a quick, temporary solution to repair bodywork, hoses, and loads of other things to get you through until you can get professional repairs. 

Flashlight

When it’s dark, having a reliable waterproof flashlight with extra batteries can make all the difference. Invest in a quality, heavy-duty flashlight that you can trust.

Fire Extinguisher

Having a portable fire extinguisher in your car is extremely important. Don’t get one smaller than 2.5 pounds, as it may not be effective in extinguishing a gasoline fire.

It’s always helpful to have dependable tools on hand in an emergency to get you out of a tight spot until you can get professional assistance. Call Hyundai of Charleston today to schedule a maintenance service and ensure you never get stranded on the side of the road.

Can You Test Drive Both Models at Your Genesis Dealer?

If you can’t choose between trim levels by looking at specs online, then a test drive can help you decide which model is ideal for you. The 2.5T AWD trim has a little less power than the 3.5T AWD trim, so if you want a more mellow driving experience, the lower trim level might be better. 

Each of the G80 trim levels manages to balance luxury with performance. Get in touch with Hyundai of Charleston to schedule your test drive today.
