Service Frequently Asked Questions in Irvine, CA
Tuttle-Click Hyundai answers your FAQ about service
At Tuttle-Click Hyundai in Irvine, we care about our customers and their vehicles, which is why we always strongly encourage owners and lessees to bring their Hyundai in for regular service.
Why does service matter?
The new vehicle you've bought or leased to drive around Santa Ana is very reliable, but that doesn't mean the relationship doesn't involve some work. Just like you need to keep an eye on your house over the years and pay for upkeep, the same is true for your vehicle.
With the help of our trained Hyundai service technicians, we'll be able to perform the necessary inspections and repairs on your Hyundai sedan, hatchback, or SUV, and keep it running smoothly so you can consistently and confidently commute to work from your home in Laguna Beach.

Oil Changes
Engine oil helps lubricate the engine and other parts of the vehicle and keeps everything from overheating.
- Most vehicles need to come in every 7,500-miles/12-months (whichever comes first) for an oil change
- Skipping this basic yet crucial service can lead to engine overheating and warping issues, and engine repairs can cost thousands to fix
Even though this service is basic, we strongly believe shoppers should come into our Certified Hyundai service center instead of a business's Jiffy Lube. Not only has that particular company suffered major issues within the last few years in California, but they don't have the same in-depth Hyundai knowledge or systems that we have at our dealership. And since your vehicle was an investment to make living in Mission Viejo easier, it pays to put it into good hands.
Tire Service
Tire tread is important and helps with traction. This is especially true when it's raining, but tread is also crucial when it's sunny out and the roads are dry.
- If your tire tread is low, we can help you order a new set of tires for your Hyundai
- To help your tires last longer, we'll perform tire rotations and necessary alignments
Most shoppers need new tires every three years. Even if your treads are still in good shape due to low-mileage driving, tires can still suffer unseen structural problems and should be replaced after five years.
Battery Care
Batteries work hard, especially in hot and sunny California. Here are signs you might need a new battery, that way you can get a replacement before it dies unexpectedly.
- You've had your current battery for three years
- Your vehicle turns over slower than usual
- You notice the lights flickering and the radio going in and out
- You've had to jump your battery a few times already
You might be tempted to buy a cheaper generic battery from a local mechanic or store, but once again we encourage you to stick with a Genuine Hyundai Battery. It'll work better with your Hyundai model and last long.
