It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1997 Hyundai Elantra!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Hyundai, your vehicle manufacturer. Depending on driving conditions and climate in your area (as well as other contributing factors, like your personal travel habits), your car’s scheduled maintenance needs may vary; however, there’s a good chance that your vehicle’s recommended maintenance services will include oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Elantra perform better, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 1997 Hyundai Elantra problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1997 Hyundai Elantra for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. A Courtesy Check helps "set the stage" for your service and catch any small problems before they turn into big repairs. Each Courtesy Check includes a free battery test and an inspection of your Elantra's windshield wiper blades, head and tail lights, filters, fluid levels, tires, and alignment.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Elantra stranded. Your Hyundai Elantra won't be going anywhere without a strong battery.
