Hyundai Questions, Answered
Do you work on Hyundais?
Yes. We service Hyundai cars and SUVs, including the Elantra, Sonata, Tucson and Santa Fe. Tell us your model and year when you call (805) 964-6554.
Will using an independent shop void my Hyundai warranty?
No. Under the federal Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, you can have maintenance done at an independent shop without voiding your factory warranty, as long as it follows Hyundai's schedule and you keep your records. Hyundai's powertrain coverage depends on documented maintenance, so keep every receipt. Recalls and warranty repairs are still done by the dealer at no cost to you.
How much does Hyundai service cost?
It depends on the model and the service. Call (805) 964-6554 for a quote. You get a written estimate before any work.
How often does a Hyundai need an oil change?
It depends on the engine and how you drive. Your owner's manual lists a normal and a severe schedule, and short trips, stop-and-go traffic and dusty roads count as severe. Call (805) 964-6554 with your model and mileage and we'll tell you what's due.
Is Top Shop close to Goleta?
Yes. We're at 177 S Patterson Ave, just off Hollister Ave in the Goleta area of Santa Barbara. Hyundai owners come to us from Goleta, Isla Vista, Santa Barbara and nearby towns.
What does a blinking check engine light mean on my Hyundai?
A flashing check engine light usually means the engine is misfiring badly enough to damage the catalytic converter. On some Hyundai engines, a flashing light with reduced power is also an engine protection warning. Ease off the gas and pull over when it's safe, and if the car is shaking or losing power, have it towed. A steady light is less urgent, but have it checked soon. We read the codes and test to find the cause, which can be anything from a spark plug or ignition coil to a fuel problem, and you get an emailed report with photos before any work. Hyundai drivers in Santa Barbara and Goleta can call (805) 964-6554. For a steady warning light, our drop-in hours are weekdays 10:00 AM to noon and 2:00 to 3:00 PM.
