With 0% financing OAC and Affirm available — plus winter tire changeover and storage on site — keeping your Hyundai on the road is straightforward. Family-owned since 1958.
Hyundai’s Theta II engine issues are well documented — and Edmonton’s cold starts and short winter trips make oil-related engine wear worse. These are the concerns we see most often on Edmonton Hyundais:
Sonata engine failure — Theta II 2.4L/2.0T: bearing failure and seized engines. We document the symptoms and advise on warranty coverage where applicable.
Santa Fe engine failure — Theta II: the same bearing-failure pattern on the SUV, caught early through oil monitoring.
Tucson engine concerns — 2.4L/2.0L: oil consumption and engine wear, monitored before any engine work is recommended.
Elantra engine concerns — 2.0L: engine wear and oil consumption on the compact sedan.
Sonata oil consumption — excessive oil use between changes, documented and tracked before any repair is recommended.
Palisade transmission concerns — 8-speed automatic shifting issues on the three-row SUV, diagnosed with our testing equipment.
Tucson transmission concerns — dual-clutch and automatic shifting problems, traced before any transmission work is quoted.
Kona engine concerns — 2.0L/1.6T: engine drivability issues on the subcompact SUV.
Every diagnosis starts with testing, not guessing — our flat-fee diagnostic (from $149.95) covers most concerns, and you’ll approve every repair before we touch a bolt.
Regular maintenance is what protects a Hyundai from its known weak points — especially oil-related engine wear. Edmonton’s cold starts, potholes, and extreme temperature swings put extra demand on batteries, cooling systems, suspension components, and fluids.
Oil service — full-synthetic oil meeting Hyundai specifications, with filter. The single most important service on Theta II engines — we check level and condition every visit.
Brake service — pads, rotors, and brake fluid. SUVs work their brakes harder, and Edmonton’s winter road treatments are hard on braking components.
Cooling system — coolant condition and level checks; thermostat and water pump inspection.
Brake fluid flush — old brake fluid absorbs moisture and lowers braking performance; we flush and replace it to Hyundai specification.
Transmission fluid service — fresh fluid keeps shifts smooth and extends transmission life, including the 8-speed automatics.
Dual-clutch (DCT) service — specialized service for Hyundai’s dual-clutch transmissions (Tucson, Kona N Line, Elantra N Line).
Differential fluid service — protects gears and bearings in the front and rear differentials, especially on AWD models.
AWD coupling service — the rear coupling on Hyundai AWD models needs periodic fluid service to keep all-wheel drive working.
Windshield replacement — chipped or cracked glass replaced to standard, keeping your view clear through winter.
Seasonal prep — fall and spring inspections timed to tire changeover season, so one visit covers both.
Inspections — every visit includes our free visual inspection with prioritized findings, so you always know what’s coming.
Ask your service advisor what your Hyundai is due for — we’ll check its history and tell you straight.
Your Hyundai’s value means little without proper grip — and in Edmonton, that means real winter tires, not all-seasons, from roughly October through April.
Winter tire changeover — $54.95 on rims, $149.95 off rims. While your Hyundai is here for the swap, it gets our free visual inspection.
Tire storage on site — we store your off-season set at the shop, so you’re not stacking tires in the garage.
Winter and all-season tires — the right fit — we match tire type, load rating, and sizing to your specific Hyundai, including SUV tire sizing with proper load ratings.
One visit, one appointment: changeover, inspection, and any maintenance your Hyundai is due for.
All-weather floor liners — contain snow, mud, and salt before they reach your carpet.
Roof racks and cargo carriers — extra carrying capacity for work gear, skis, or camping.
Mud flaps — guard paint and underbody from gravel and winter road spray.
Trailer hitches and towing accessories — set up your Palisade or Santa Fe for safe, rated towing.
Call 780-431-2828 or ask your service advisor what’s available for your Hyundai — if it fits, we can get it and install it.
If your Hyundai breaks down, we’ll get it here. We use Auto Rescue Towing for vehicle pickups across Edmonton — call us at 780-431-2828 and we’ll arrange the tow to the shop.

“We took our 2014 Benz in to get some work done and left beyond satisfied. The price is fair and great for the amount of work done and they kept in contact with us for all updates. I will definitely will be back here to get all the work on my vehicle done.”
