I appreciate you sharing your reasons for disliking them. As you say - our
experiences differ and that's what forms our preferences. I always like to
hear why a guy feels a particular way about an alternative. You never know
when you'll learn something - or share a piece of knowledge.

BTW Tom - what I should have included in my previous response was that by
all means - if you feel more comfortable with the dealer and with OEM parts,
then by all means, that's the way to go. You are the one who has to be
comfortable in the end. I was only trying to provide the insight that many
people have had great success with wires for far less than was originally
posted. Likewise, hyundaitech shared a different opinion based on his
experiences. That's what this forum is all about.

Bahahahaha...
Come on man, way to punish your own credibility.
I'm starting to wonder if you're the "Hyundai Certified Mechanic" that
couldn't manage to replace a misdiagnosed "excessively worn crank gear"
without screwing up... Car left with the same annoying rattle it came
in with, and 500 miles later the engine jumped 4 teeth of time. Oddly
enough it kinda survived - they put it back into time and it continues
to "run" today with extremely reduced fuel economy and performance - it
also sounds like its got a whole row of bent valves...
Oh yeah, I was billed for the service to put it back into time, and the
tow to the next closest Hyundai dealer (100 miles) as the first dealer
refused to repair their damages. Despite the fact the Hyundai
representitive I spoke to was nice and seemed interested in helping,
Hyundai was of no assistance during this situation. Only after an
entirely excessive amount of 'pushing' we were reimbursed for the
service, but not the wrecker fee.
Taught me a lesson about the 10/100 Hyundai powertrain warranty - don't
use it, you'll be sorry you did. You won't find me buying a damned
thing at a Hyundai dealer again, thats for sure.

You've learned the wrong lesson. There's nothing wrong with Hyundai's
warranty and there's nothing wrong with using it. The problem here is
that (based on the one side of the story I've heard) the dealer that did
the work refused to correct their own screw-up.
Unfortunately, there's little Hyundai can do about that. They cannot
force the dealer to refund any monies to you (although they can apply
pressure). I've found Hyundai to be a friendly company that does
genuinely want to assist people with reasonable problems. And, I agree,
if the next closest dealer were 100 miles away, I wouldn't be doing any
dealer purchasing either.
As to whether I'm the technician, I guess you'll never know.
