Featuring "class above" space, the Hyundai Accent is a surprisingly roomy vehicle that competes with subcompacts but seems to size up as a larger compact model instead. Most buyers are into their Accents for the long haul. But they won't be able to make that long haul without proper maintenance. That's where the Hyundai Accent Service Schedule comes in.

A simple schedule of service items, they are best handled by the expert service mechanics at Hazelwood Hyundai's Parts and Service department. Hyundai Motors America has put together a scheduled maintenance program that solves for the daily occurrences that need tending to on your Hyundai Accent. To find out more about it, please follow along below, and consult with your Hyundai Accent Owner's Manual for more details.

Hyundai's service schedule revolves around a 7,500 mile interval between oil and oil filter changes. So with that in mind, owners are reminded to change the oil with a high-grade synthetic oil, replace the climate control air filter, perform a tire rotation, and inspect the following:  Inspect the engine air filter, the air conditioning refrigerant, the brake hoses and lines, the exhaust pipe and muffler, the rotors, brake pads and calipers, steering gear box and linkages, and inspect the suspension mounting bolts.That's a basic pattern but one that will carry you for quite a while.

Oil changes, tire rotations and more. Let's talk about oil. Oil is one of those fluids, that is required if you expect your Hyundai Accent to take you anywhere. It keeps your Hazelwood Hyundai Accent operating smoothly. Here at Hazelwood, Hyundai, we recommend a high-quality synthetic motor oil that will stand up to high heat and thermal breakdown giving you many miles of service. At the same time, your Hazelwood Hyundai mechanic will replace your old oil filter with a fresh new one that will continue to trap the dirt and debris from entering your Accent's engine.

Tire rotation is another scheduled event that needs to be adhered to as long as you wish to keep your tires wearing evenly on your new Accent. Move them around according to the diagrams in the Hazelwood Hyundai Accent Owner's Manual. This way they will get to spend time at all four corners of your Accent, to equalize the wear and hopefully you the most mileage possible from a set of tires. Of course this is all depending on how skilled you are at avoiding fallen object debris on the highway! Naturally, your mileage may vary.

Heavier duty. At 15,000 miles, an oil and oil filter change will get this party started, followed by the usual tire rotations to equalize tire wear at the corners of your new Accent. Scheduled service to your Hazelwood Hyundai Accent will continue in 7,500 mile segments, so expect them at 22,500, 30,000, 37,500 and so on. But please remember, they are not the only repairs or services your Hazelwood Hyundai Accent will need. Also scheduled, will be other items including an in-cabin air filter replacement, followed by an extensive inspection regimen including an engine air filter look-see, inspection of the air conditioning refrigerant, brake fluid, brake hoses and lines, crankcase ventilation hose, driveshafts and boots, exhaust pipe and muffler, fuel lines, hoses and connecters, the fuel tank air filter, parking brake, front and rear brake pads, and various other hoses and fittings. Their purpose is to keep your Hazelwood Hyundai Accent running like new.

In Alignment:  All-wheel-alignment is a critical fine-tuning needed by your Hyundai Accent. Think of it as an adjustment at the chiropractor, which is needed at least once a year. But how can you tell if it's necessary? Do your arms feel noticeably more buff as you wrestle your Accent back into its lane after finding it drifting right or left from your lane? That's usually a good clue. But you get our drift. (Yes, we said that.) Please remember to ask for a tire rotation first, before getting aligned.

Brakes, Rotors and stopping: We know about brakes! Made to stop you when and where you want, they are critical to safety and well-being of your Hazelwood Hyundai Accent.  If ever you have any questions about your brake pads, like the time you hear a squeaking when coming to a stop, ask your Hazelwood Hyundai service advisor or mechanic to inspect the brake pads and rotors as soon as possible. There's no reason to wait until your next oil change. Our expert technicians can examine their conditions to make sure they are well within standards for safety and to provide the ability to stop. It's always better to take a proactive lead on such inspection rather than be caught when it's too late to do anything about it. It's just another example of how Hazelwood Hyundai works with you to provide the best service costs for your Hyundai Accent.

Tires: Tires provide traction, grip, starting and stopping power for your Hyundai Accent. They really are a big deal and their choice is not to be taken lightly. But getting the most mileage out of them is the most important metric possible. To that end, make sure they are rotated, properly inflated, balanced and aligned on a regular basis. And then there's tread depth: We recommend a monthly check to see how much life may be left in your vehicle, and it will only cost you a pence, oops a penny, on this side of the pond.  By taking a Lincoln head penny you can do a monthly check to see how much time is likely left on your tires! You'll even get a little face time with President Abraham Lincoln at the same time! Just insert a Lincoln penny into the tire tread of your Hyundai Accent tires. If Honest Abe takes a header clean up to his ears, you're in good shape. On the other hand, if there is an air gap above his hairline, then get over to the parts department at Hyundai of Hazelwood, right now! They'll have exactly what your Accent needs. Our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln wasn't bald. Your tires shouldn't be either.

Wipe On: Wipers are curious devices in that they may wear out despite the fact they have not been used all that much. That's not to say that too much use can do the same thing, but blame it on extreme heat instead. When you switch on the wipers and all you get are streaks, smears and squeaks, that's the best sign that your current wipers have called it a day. Thanks to high heat and humidity, not to mention UV rays, rubber wiper blades can deteriorate much faster even though they haven't swept away much rain. On the other hand, during bouts of extreme cold, the temperatures can become so cold and crisp that the rubber blades can actually crack. That's why we think having an extra set is such a good idea. But in case you don't have a set handy, take a jaunt down to the Hazelwood Hyundai parts and service department to replenish you stock today. Your Hazelwood Hyundai service mechanic recommends a change of wiper blades every six months. Stop in for replacements today.

Automatic and Manual Transmissions, etc.: The transmission in your Hyundai Accent, whether automatic or manual, is a sealed unit that should be checked periodically for proper fluid levels. Both transmissions are sealed units only requiring service in the form of a transmission fluid and filter change at the 120,000 mile mark. If you subject your Accent to extreme driving, such as at high speeds or along mountainous grades, we would suggest changing the transmission fluid and filter sooner. For best results, bring it by the service department at Hazelwood Hyundai, for an examination today.

These service schedules and maintenance tips from your Hyundai of Hazelwood service advisors and mechanics will help you to get the most out of your new Accent, with the end result being many years and thousands of miles of driving enjoyment from behind the wheel of your Hyundai. Be sure to contact your Hazelwood Parts and Service department for all your Hyundai car care needs.
