2011 Hyundai Elantra [MERGED]

[dirk_diggler]

^hehe. Nde naman ito deal-breaker sa akin. Nde rin ako familiar sa PMS in general because as I've said, first time ako mag brand new. Anyway, so upon checkup, kung ok pa un oil, nde naman nila papalitan basta-basta?

[jhnkvn]

Just got my white elantra today. Nice talaga!

Question lang, first brand new car ko kasi ito e. When I checked the service passport schedule (PMS), I'm supposed to bring the car in for PMS every 3 MONTHS??? Well, I guess dapat lang naman talaga un oil change every 3 months, pero ganun ba talaga un? Around 30kms/day lang kasi ang commute ko from bahay to office, so malabong maka 1000 kms ako per month.

Parang sobrang dalas kasi ng 3 months tas, malamang 2,500 un kada punta.

Follow the kilometer inspection and forget the date. I've never had a problem doing that.

Wala naman talaga "correct" routine in checking the oil. You can top-up at the PMS intervals using fully-synthetic or semi-synthetic oil. Take note that fully synths last longer but costs more.

In my car, I used semi-synthetic on the 1,000km, 5,000km PMS and then went fully synthetic on the 10,000km. This way, I would only top-it-up with few more liters of fully synthetic on the 15,000km and fully-drain and refill it on the 20,000km. Regardless to say, full synthetic could last you 10,000km trouble-free (it lasts longer actually). If you're using semi-synthetic, a 5,000km interval is good.

^i asked about that, and the SA said that dapat talaga 3 months or 1000 whichever comes first. Hangga 4 months lang daw ang grace period. Well, at least that's the policy sa Hyundai Pasig. Should I just go to a different dealer pag PMS?

BS. What if you went overseas and simply "garaged" the car for a year? That doesn't mean your service warranty is void. Oil doesn't expire in 3 months so the argument is simply pointless. I would understand if it's 6 months and then you haven't had your first 1,000km PMS. Modern oils (semi & full synthetic) are designed to last between 6 & 9 months on average afterwards they have the tendency to decompose their molecular structure and would sludge your engine shafts and cams. This is the reason why most dealerships will call you to "follow-up" on the PMS service on a month-based interval.

Of course, this is my understanding of the time-based view on servicing. For what it's worth, I just serviced my Sonata last month for her 10,000km PMS (which was sponsored by HARI due to a past favor saved 10,000php! halatang sinuki ni dealer..) and she's already a year old. 6-months service of 10,000km whichever comes first? Phooey, okay pa oil ko and my service warranty is still intact.

For first-time buyers, servicing and warranty are also separate things. You service the car based on the distance interval. Neglecting to do so voids your warranty. Standard warranty is 5 years or 100,000km what ever comes first where the CASA would repair faulty stuff on the basis your warranty is intact. If you drive a lot and reach 100,000km in 3 years (that's fast!), then your warranty is void because it came first.

And yes, you may always switch your servicing CASA around. I used to do my oil change at Hyundai Quezon Avenue (where I bought the car) but I've now switched to Hyundai North EDSA due to the convenience -- lounge, refreshments, WiFi, and free shuttle service papunta Trinoma or SM North EDSA. Having a shuttle service is godsend if you don't want to laze your ass around in the dealership for 4-5 hours!

I hope this helps!

[dirk_diggler]

^Yes, this helps. Thank you. Cguro I'll have it serviced na lang at different casas just to be sure. Kainis e. Parang loophole un clause na "whichever comes first". Gotta read my car manual in more detail para me backup ako.

nakausap ko ung isang tech ng hyundai pasig and he told me that there is no problem in terms of warranty if ever you followed the distance travelled when you do your PMS...wala pa daw silang naencounter na nagkaproblema na navoid ang warranty..;)

[dirk_diggler]

^really? That's great then! thanks for asking them. Plan to really follow my mileage

[atmarcella]

a homerun.... freaky beautiful.....

-- OOPS, Sorry I don't have the permission to delete this post, OT pala 'to.. should be in the Best Hyundai Agent thread.. anyway, hope this still helps. --

This has been useful when we were deciding which car to get.

We got an Elantra and would like to share with you our experience - sana helpful most especially in getting an agent that you can really depend on.

We talked to several agents:
1. Tony Aguirre of Las Pinas Dealership - just got him from sulit.com. Maasahan si Tony - laging sumasagot sa inquiry, very helpful in getting better rates from the bank.

2. Hyundai North Edsa and Hyundai The Fort - very poor. I won't even dare mention their names. Nakakahiya kasi sa ibang agents na performance level sa pag benta. These two are the only dealership which did not offer any extra freebie (KAHIT FREE LTO WALA! HAHA!) aside from the standard ones. Wala din effort na "sige, try natin i-work on mababaan insurance..". Parang ayaw nila magbenta. I don't know if dahil ayaw nila since cash kami magbabayad (we decided to pay na lang in cash since nanghihinayang kami sa interest) or sadyang strictly no additional freebie/no value added service lang sila. AT! Kami pa ang parang naghahabol sa kanila - kami ang everyday nagf-follow up.

3. Diane Hipolito of Hyundai Pasig - this is the best agent we have transacted with by far. Let me enumerate the reasons why:
- swerte lang na when we called up Hyundai Pasig, Diane was the sales consultant available to pick up the call. That time, we were just inquiring about the price, freebie, etc. But we of course mentioned that we wanted Santorini Blue 1.6 A/T variant. After the call, wala na uli communication because we waited for Hyundai The Fort and Hyundai North Edsa for updates.
- Diane has the initiative to text us and inform us na meron na available na Santorini Blue sa Pasig. FYI text lang kumbaga.
- (since bad trip na kami sa Hyundai The Fort and Hyundai North Edsa) we decided na kunin na yung sa Pasig

Diane offered the best deal among all the agents/managers we talked to:
- standard freebies
- free LTO
- full tint na charge kami dapat ng 2K+, natawaran nya ng 800 na lang!
- backing sensor at a lower cost (yes, natawaran nya uli!)
- fog lamps at a lower cost (of cours, natawaran nya uli!)
- insurance na originally 35K, napababaan ng same sa offered ng BDO!
- at me after sales pa! she told us na pag pupunta kami sa casa let her know daw and sya na magaasikaso. yan ang agent!

We are very happy with Diane Hipolito of Hyundai Pasig. If not for her, up until now nasa dulo pa kami ng kung kanino mang dealership na listahan since napakahirap naman talaga kumuha ngayon ng Elantra kasi nga daw - mataas na ang demand dati pa, lalo pa ng nag car of the year (yey!).

Basta, nightmare talaga sa amin ang Hyundai The Fort and Hyundai North Edsa. Meron pa nga nagsabi sa amin when we told them na meron na sa Pasig na unit - "Ah, dun na lang kayo kumuha. Mahirap talaga ngayon magka-Elantra." Que Horror! Fine, di kami sa inyo bibili.
