Expert Hyundai Servicing

Regular servicing is the cornerstone of good car maintenance. It helps to identify and address potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs, ensuring your Hyundai remains reliable and efficient. Vertu Hyundai Edinburgh West provides a full range of servicing options, tailored to meet the specific needs of your Hyundai model. Our trained technicians use the latest diagnostic equipment and genuine Hyundai parts to ensure every service is carried out to the highest standards.

What Does a Hyundai Service Typically Include?

While specific checks may vary depending on your Hyundai's age and mileage, a comprehensive service generally involves:

• Oil and Filter Change: Essential for engine lubrication and cooling.
• Fluid Level Checks: Including coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and windscreen washer fluid.
• Tyre Inspection: Checking tread depth, pressure, and for any signs of wear or damage. Properly inflated and well-maintained tyres are crucial for safety and fuel efficiency.

The Importance of Using Genuine Hyundai Parts

At Vertu Hyundai Edinburgh West, we exclusively use genuine Hyundai parts. These parts are specifically designed and manufactured for your Hyundai model, guaranteeing a perfect fit and optimal performance. Using non-genuine parts can compromise your vehicle's performance, potentially lead to premature wear and tear, and may even invalidate your warranty. Investing in genuine parts is an investment in your Hyundai's future.

Hyundai MOT Testing Centre

The Ministry of Transport (MOT) test is a legal requirement for vehicles over three years old in the UK. It's an annual check to ensure your vehicle meets road safety and environmental standards. Vertu Hyundai Edinburgh West is an approved MOT testing centre, providing a thorough and impartial assessment of your Hyundai.

What Does an MOT Test Cover?

An MOT test examines critical components of your vehicle to ensure they meet regulatory standards. These include:

• Body and Vehicle Structure: Checking for excessive corrosion or damage.
• Fuel System: Ensuring it's safe and free from leaks.
• Lights: All exterior lights must be functioning correctly.
• Steering and Suspension: Components must be in good condition and properly adjusted.
• Wheels and Tyres: Checking for tread depth, condition, and secure fitting.
• Brakes: Assessing the performance and condition of the braking system.
• Seatbelts: Ensuring all seatbelts are present, secure, and functioning.
• Exhaust Emissions: Checking that emissions levels meet current standards.
• Visibility: Including windscreen condition and wiper operation.

Passing Your MOT

If your Hyundai passes its MOT test, it will receive a certificate. If it fails, you'll receive a report detailing the reasons for failure. Any necessary repairs can be carried out by our expert technicians to ensure your vehicle meets the required standards.

Our finance specialists are on hand to discuss your individual needs and help you find a plan that suits your budget.
