Well it's getting to be that time of year, need to get all these things checked out on the car. Everyone be sure to have it done on yours!

Headlight fluid - refill or flush if needed
Re-lubricate flywheel (manual vehicles only)
Check muffler belt (tighten or replace as needed)
Replace air in tires, particularly spare
Check tail lights - re-aim if necessary

Most of this stuff you can take care of on your own, but have it done at the dealer if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

I will charge half dealer price for any of this maintenance. And be ready, its going to be time to put your Fall air in before you know it.

make sure you use a Hyundai-approved synthetic lubricant on the flywheel. anything else could void ones warranty

Make sure you are backed exactly 5 meters to a white wall when you re-aim your taillights.
