What is the maintenance schedule for the 2013 Hyundai Sonata?

Here’s Why 2013 Hyundai Sonata Scheduled Maintenance Matters

When it comes to your Hyundai Sonata, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, you could hit 200,000 miles (or beyond!) in your Sonata. But how do you know what service to get and when? Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your Sonata, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. Just follow your 2013 Hyundai Sonata maintenance schedule!

Hyundai knows your vehicle inside and out (they made it, after all!), so they’ve designed this schedule with your car’s unique needs in mind. 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, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Scheduling routine service appointments is one of the best ways to help extend your Sonata's life, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2013 Hyundai Sonata problems later.

Overview of Essential Hyundai Sonata Maintenance Needs

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2013 Hyundai Sonata for factory-recommended routine maintenance and a skilled technician will start the appointment 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. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Sonata’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2013 Hyundai Sonata. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Hyundai Sonata battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty Sonata) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Hyundai Sonata could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can prevent premature wear on your 2013 Hyundai Sonata engine. To learn how often Hyundai recommends you have the oil changed in your 2013 Sonata, check out the information table at the beginning of this page. Keep in mind that your oil change interval could be different given your driving style and climate. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2013 Hyundai Sonata.

Maintaining your Hyundai Sonata steering and suspension system can improve ride comfort and help you maintain control of your vehicle. That's important if you plan on taking the road less traveled! Trust our technicians to inspect system components and if needed, perform Hyundai Sonata suspension and steering services. These might include wheel alignment, power steering fluid flushes and replenishments, ball joint lubrication, wheel bearing replacement, and strut replacement. Components within your Hyundai Sonata's steering system require regular maintenance.

Without routine Hyundai Sonata maintenance, you might find yourself with a hot mess on your hands – quite literally. A damaged A/C system is never fun, and an overheated engine can cause significant issues (like a total car breakdown!). 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 Sonata engine heating and cooling systems, as well as your air conditioning. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Hyundai Sonata? We’ve got your back. Is your A/C blowing hot air? We’re on it.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.
