Questions for all who have done the 30,000 mile service on their Hyundai's.

The 30,000 is my next one. The rep at the dealer gave me the official
recommended
maintenance schedule and this is what is supposed to be done:

Replace engine oil and filter
check and top off all fluid levels
Complete Chassis Lubrication
Check and Adjust Tire pressure to factory specifications
Lubricate all door hinges
Tire rotation
Inspect Front and Rear suspension
Inspect Exhaust System and Components
Inspect all hoses and belts
Perform Four Wheel Brake inspections
Inspect Steering components
Perform Battery Terminal Service
Inspect Wiper Blades
Replace PCV Valve
Inspect Parking Brake for adjustment
Replace air filter
Replace fuel filter
Perform Coolant Service
Perform transmission service
Check for oustanding factory recalls
Road Test vehicle
Free 27 Point Inspection

All for the incredibly low price (?) of just $399.95

Holy ! That sounds like an awful lot of money for the list above. Now
for the questions:

Has anyone ever taken their Hyundai to another garage to get an estimate on
all the things listed
above and find out what it costs at a garage to do? The price the Hyundai
gives just sounds awfully high
for what's being done, but I'm not the most knowledgable and up-to-date when
it comes to car service.

A couple of people have told me that it sounds like a great big rip off, and
it's one way for Hyundai to make back some money since their automobiles are
originally sold at such a fine price (one of the reasons I got mine). I'm
leaning towards their opinion.

Another question: if one *were* to take it to another place and get the
same deal done, would Hyundai honor that (with proof of work done, of
course)?

You are free to take your car anywhere for service. You must have
records, however, if you ever need warranty work performed. Also,
half that stuff is BS. The only work you are required to have done is
the stuff listed in the maint. book you received when you bought the
car.

Look at the user manual. The only thing that really changes from
normal maintenace is flush coolant. Transmission, Fuel and a whole lot
of other items listed is NOT part of the "official" 30K. Look at your
book, show them the book, and ask how much to do this and ONLY this.
Good Luck.

BTW, I persoanll would change the air, Fuel, and do the transmission
at 30K. I already have at 20K, but I do all my own work.

sounds about average price, i work at a hyundai dealer.... if you skip
the 30k you better not skip the 60k, the one that includes the timming
belt... i've seen them brakes and it kills the valves thus making you
have to replace the whole engine, not covered by warranty over 60k...its
considered as maintance unless it breaks below 60k, then you are
protected.
hyundai's trans fluid differs slightly from most, and you need to flush
them ever 30k
