Does Your Hyundai Need a Car Inspection? Visit Your Bentonville Dealer Today

Is your Hyundai making strange noises, or do you smell unpleasant odors? Is your car hard to start, and is the accessories giving you hassles? When last did you take your vehicle for an oil change? Below are ways to tell if your Hyundai needs a car inspection from the qualified technicians at your Hyundai dealer.

A Dashboard Warning Light Is On

If you notice that a dashboard warning light is on, don’t ignore it. The light is a warning that something is not working correctly. Contact your dealership for an appointment as soon as you notice a warning light is on to prevent further damage and expensive repairs and replacements.

You Have Car Battery Issues

Your battery is weak when your car’s accessories are giving you problems. You will notice that the dashboard lights and headlights are dimmer than they used to be, the windshield wipers and windows move slower, and you will have issues with the radio, heated seats, and may even find it hard to start your car.

Don’t wait until you have to jump-start your vehicle. Ask your Hyundai technician to inspect your battery and perform a battery test to determine if you need to replace the battery.

You Smell Unpleasant Odors and Strange Noises

Smells and sounds that you are not familiar with are signs that something is wrong with your car. High-pitched screeching, grinding, whining, grumbling, and knocking noises must be checked out as soon as possible, especially when they come from under the hood.

A sulfurous, burning, or chemical odor indicates that an inspection and an engine diagnostic test are required to determine what is causing the problem accurately. Your Hyundai technician will perform the necessary repairs to ensure that your car is in perfect running condition.

The Tires Are Wearing Unevenly

If your car’s tires are unevenly worn, ask your Hyundai technician to perform a tire inspection to see if the tires are still in good condition and if a tire replacement is required. Also, ask the technician to rotate the tires. A tire rotation involves switching the tires to different positions to reduce uneven wear.

When your tires are routinely rotated, usually with every oil change, it will ensure even wear, increase traction, and the tires will last longer. You will be safer on the road and will not have to replace your vehicle’s tires as often, saving you money in the long run.

It’s Six Months Since the Last Oil Change

Generally, the oil in your vehicle must be changed every six months to keep the engine running smoothly. When the oil is changed, the filter will also be replaced. The oil lubricates the moving components, and the filter prevents dirt and debris from reaching the engine.

The technician will thoroughly inspect your vehicle from top to bottom during each oil change and detect issues before they turn into major repairs. The oil change intervals for your specific Hyundai model are in your owner’s manual, or you can speak to your Hyundai technician for assistance.
