Hyundai's hot hatch, the Veloster is a high-performing hatchback that conveys sportiness at every turn. Equipped with Hyundai's famous 10-year/100,000 mile warranty, it will provide you with miles and years of great reliable service. But it does require proper maintenance. Like an infant or a pet dog, they can't do many things by themselves. It needs your help, and that of the service technicians and mechanics at Hyundai of Hazelwood. Hyundai Motor America has designed a service schedule, as listed in your Veloster Owner's Manual, which can keep you and your Hyundai on track towards years of satisfied ownership.

Your Hazelwood Hyundai Veloster service schedule is a relative simple list to follow that shows the requirements that will keep you and your car together for many years to come. Starting with servicing when the vehicle is new, it will carry you all the way through to the 150,000 mile mark.

The one constant in servicing your Hyundai Veloster is the planned 7,500 mile oil change and tire rotation intervals that will anchor each visit. A series of other scheduled maintenance tasks will be performed in between, including a replacement of the climate control air filter, tire rotation, air conditioning refrigerant inspection, the brake system including pads, rotors, hoses, lines and calipers. At the same time, the Hyundai service mechanics will examine the engine's air filter, exhaust pipe and muffler, steering gear box and linkages, and finally, the suspension mounting bolts.

This schedule will reoccur at 7,500, 15,000, 22,500, 30,000, 37,500 miles, and so on.

Oil changes, tire rotations and more.An oil and filter changes act as the lead-off hitter for every one of these 7,500 mile service intervals. Your Hyundai mechanic will follow with a tire rotation and replacement of the climate control air filter. While on the subject of oil, we can't forget the importance of a high-quality synthetic motor oil. Your Hyundai Veloster will be absolutely fine with conventional motor oil but we still recommend synthetic motor oil and the benefits that come with it. They include its ability to stand up to high temperatures and combat thermal breakdown, especially with the extremely high temperatures we have been facing lately.  The new filter that will be replaced by your Hazelwood Hyundai mechanic will be trapping dirt and dust, before it has a chance to get inside the engine.

Tire rotation is another of the greatest hits on your new Veloster. Their purpose is to help achieve long life from the tires on your Hazelwood Hyundai. Relocate themaccording to the diagrams in the Hyundai of Hazelwood Veloster Owner's Manual. The procedure will equalize the wear on the tires and hopefully get the most mileage possible from a set of tires. As always, your mileage may vary.

Heavier duty. With all the tire rotations, oil changes, in-cabin air filter changes and so on, it's wise to remember there are many other crucial inspections needed in order for your Veloster to perform properly. Relative simple, they involve an extensive inspection regimen looking at the engine air filter, inspection of the air conditioning refrigerant, crankcase ventilation hose, brake fluid, hoses and lines, driveshafts and boots, exhaust pipes and mufflers, fuel lines, hoses and connecters, the fuel tank air filter, parking brake, front and rear brake pads, and various other hoses and fittings. Follow these steps to make sure your Hazelwood Veloster continues to run at the top of their game.

All-wheel-alignment: Alignment is a fine-tuning adjustment that will have your Hyundai Veloster staying on the straight and narrow, without drifting left or right on a highway. Ever have those feelings? That's why your Hyundai of Hazelwood service technicians recommend alignment once a year, or more as needed. But first, we recommend a tire balancing and rotation, before getting aligned.
    
Stopping power: The brakes on your Hyundai Veloster are some of the most important pieces of equipment on your car. We know about brakes! Good brakes offer sure stops when you need them too.  Critical to the safety and well-being of your Hazelwood Hyundai Veloster, they should be inspected every time you come in for an oil change. If you hear squeaking when applying the brakes, that's a giveaway that their time may soon be up. Don't let those noises go for too long though. It leads to metal on metal contact where the brake pad plates start to grind into the brake rotors. At the first hint of a squeak, have them changed! DO NOT WAIT for the next oil change to take them in!

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. Such attention to details saves you money before the problem can really get out of hand, and expensive.

Tires: Your Hyundai Veloster gets its grip from properly matched tires that are designed to work correctly with your new Hyundai. Tires need to be properly inflated, balanced, rotated and aligned in order to get the longest life possible from them. We suggest checking your tread depth monthly to know when you need to replace your set of tires. Best of all, it only costs you a penny. Grab a fresh Lincoln head penny from your pocket. You know, the only that is so shiny it looks like it was made only an hour ago. That's all that's needed and with it you might get a few minutes of face time with President Abraham Lincoln at the same time! Just place the penny head-first into the tire treads of your Hyundai Veloster. If Honest Abe takes a header up to his ears, you've got plenty of tread to go. Conversely, if an air gap exists above his hairline, head to the Hazelwood Hyundai Parts and Service department, right now for your Veloster's high-performance replacements! They'll have exactly what your Hyundai needs. President Lincoln wasn't bald. Your tires shouldn't be either.

Windshield Wipers: Wipers are an enigma in that they may wear out despite not having been used too much. It's strange because they can wear out from under use as much as over use. Blame it on extreme heat or extreme cold. Exposure to high heat can powder the wipers while extreme cold can make them brittle and hard. And that doesn't even include UV rays! That's why we recommend keeping an extra set on hand. Or simply cruise to the Hazelwood Hyundai parts and service department to grab a new pair today. If you need to locate us, Google "Mechanics near us," and there we will be!

Automatic and Manual Transmissions, etc: Your Hyundai Veloster is equipped with either a manual or automatic transmission that is a sealed unit. It won't need any maintenance other than period fluid level checks and a replacement of both the transmission fluid and filter at the 120,000 mile mark. If you subject your Veloster 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 a quick check today.

These service schedules and maintenance tips from your Hazelwood Hyundai service advisors and technicians will help provide you with many years and thousands of miles of driving enjoyment from behind the wheel of your sporty new Hyundai Veloster.
