At some point, your car may incur a major repair need. Perhaps it needs a transmission rebuild or a head gasket replacement. Should you proceed with Hyundai repairs at the dealership, or should you trade in the vehicle and purchase or lease a new car? Learn when it’s better to make repairs and when it’s better to move on to a new Hyundai vehicle.When to Make Repairs

If the cost of your repairs is below the value of your vehicle, it’s best to fix the issue, according to Kelley Blue Book (KBB). Go to KBB’s website and enter your vehicle’s information to receive a valuation. In most instances, repair costs won’t exceed the car’s value unless it’s a significantly older model. If you do decide to repair your vehicle, it’s best to make an appointment at the dealership. This way, only OEM parts are used should your vehicle require replacement components. When to Trade in Your Vehicle

Trade in your car if the repair cost exceeds the car’s value or is about the same. There are additional scenarios beyond the cost factor where trading may also be the more desirable option. This includes:• You’re no longer confident in your car’s reliability• Your car is more than 10 years old• You want a vehicle with updated technology• You need a new vehicle to reflect your current situation. For example, you now have kids and need a car with a higher seating capacityWhichever your decision, you should bring your car to Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River. One of our technicians will examine your vehicle and provide a repair estimate. From there, you can decide whether to make repairs or if it’s time to trade it in. If the latter, our dealership provides an assortment of models to choose from, such as the Hyundai Santa Fe or Hyundai Elantra. Contact us today!

Just as people can suffer from heat exhaustion, cars can also incur damage from overheating — especially during the summer months. Here are some service tasks to consider before you schedule Hyundai service in Toms River, NJ this summer.1. Oil Change

Hot weather puts extra stress on the oil. There are also more airborne contaminants during this time of year, which can get into the oil and cause degradation. Our trained technicians will inspect your oil system, including filters, to ensure everything stays fresh and clean. 2. Check the Battery

Car batteries die often in the summer — the heat accelerates fluid loss inside the battery cell and causes molecular changes in the chemicals. This leads to oxidation and corrosion buildup in the battery terminals. At the dealership, our technicians will perform a voltage check. This is especially important if it has been three or more years since the battery was new or replaced. 3. Brake Inspection

Traffic peaks in the summer as people embark on long road trips. Increased traffic equals stop-and-go driving and frequent braking. Worn brakes is a safety hazard as it increases total stopping distance. Have a technician inspect the brake pads and rotors for wear. Schedule a brake inspection ASAP if the brake pedal feels less responsive than usual.4. Tire Assessment

Examine your tires for wear. Common signs of aging tires include worn treads, bubbling on the sidewall, and an air leak from an opening in the valve stem. In addition, a technician will check for proper alignment and balance, making rotations if necessary, and recommendations if there’s excessive damage.Visit Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River to schedule vehicle maintenance before the sun sets on summer. We perform inspections on all Hyundai models all year round, so don’t delay!

Investing in a Hyundai EV is beneficial in many ways. It’ll eliminate stops to the fuel station altogether. It’ll also minimize your carbon footprint. So, how do you replenish your vehicle? There are actually three ways to charge your EV. These methods are known as level one, level two, and level three charging.Level One Charging

Level one charging is the most common form of charging, and it’s readily available in your own home. This is charging your EV using a standard 110-volt and three-pronged wall outlet. You do not need any special equipment. Just plug your EV to an outlet the way you plug in an appliance. This method, while the most accessible and convenient, is also the slowest. While the time varies between models, it takes an estimated eight hours for every 40-miles of battery range.Level Two Charging

Level two chargers are a unit that you can purchase and install in your garage. Various models are available that range in quality and price range. Most level two chargers provide around 240 volts of power. These chargers supply far more power and can provide around 20 miles of battery range for every one hour of charging.Level Three Charging

A level three charger is also known as a DC fast charger. These consist of the chargers available at public charging stations. These are far more powerful and can usually charge your battery to 80 percent in just 30 to 60 minutes. DC fast chargers are prohibitively expensive to purchase and install in a home, hence why they’re mainly relegated to commercial stations.Visit Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River to see our range of EVs and PHEVs. You only need a level one charger to charge models like the Hyundai Kona Electric. Level two and level three chargers are optional but provide far faster charging times.

At Lester Glenn Hyundai, we are always looking forward. To that end, we are proud to offer the initial phase of the new Hyundai EV line. But what about maintenance on electric vehicles?Let’s take a look at the service and maintenance requirements of electric vehicles.Plug-In Hybrids and Hybrids

You’re probably already very familiar with the basic service needs of cars with internal combustion engines. These include regular oil changes, regular fluid and tire check-ups, and seasonal and long-term service tiers.Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and hybrids also have internal combustion engines, but they work in tandem with the electric motors. The electric motors will take over at certain speeds in hybrids and can take over completely in PHEVs with a sufficient battery charge.Both PHEVs and hybrids need the same kind of service, but the electric motors take a lot of the wear and tear out of the engine, so they may need it less over time.What About EVs?

Electric vehicles (EVs) require minimal regular maintenance, and in fact their braking systems can last longer due to the regenerative braking available. Many EVs have one-pedal driving. The brakes will automatically engage when you depress the accelerator at lower speeds, converting the often unused energy caused by the friction into energy used to help charge the battery.The motor, battery, and associated electronics do not require nearly as much maintenance. Regular service is minimal and often easy to accomplish. The batteries will last for a certain number of full charges, often 100,000 miles and beyond, depending on the type of vehicle. Recommended maintenance tasks include rotating the tires, flush corrosive material from the underbody, replace the wiper blades, and more. For more questions about EV maintenance, schedule Hyundai service visit at Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River today.
