1999 Hyundai Elantra Maintenance

Take care of your Hyundai Elantra and it'll take care of you. With proactive maintenance, your Elantra could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine Elantra maintenance. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 1999 Hyundai Elantra!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Hyundai, your vehicle manufacturer. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; 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. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your Elantra running for longer, keep you safer on the road, and prevent common 1999 Hyundai Elantra problems.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 1999 Hyundai Elantra for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your Elantra. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Could your 1999 Hyundai Elantra be ready for a new battery? In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Elantra may need a replacement battery sooner. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Hyundai Elantra battery. It can be tempting to try and get as much life out of your battery as possible, but it’s smart to check it regularly and replace it before it gets too weak. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Elantra) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Hyundai Elantra could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 1999 Hyundai Elantra running newer, longer. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 1999 Elantra. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil. Not sure what type of oil to use for your 1999 Hyundai Elantra? We can help with that, too!

Routine upkeep for your Hyundai Elantra suspension and steering system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. You can count on Firestone Complete Auto Care’s trained technicians to inspect this system and, if needed, provide Hyundai Elantra steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Hyundai Elantra's steering and suspension system.

If you skip recommended Hyundai Elantra services, you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Don’t sweat it, though! Our technicians can take care of those issues, too. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we have what it takes to provide top-notch service for your Hyundai Elantra engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Hyundai Elantra? We got it. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re here to fix that, too.
