Another dealer digging in your pockets for more work. Stick to the book and you should be fine.So I took my Sonata Hybrid 11" in for an oil change and they told me that at 30,000 miles I need to have my HSG belt replaced. I check the manufacturer's guidelines and it says 60,000 miles unless under severe usage (30,000). However, when I asked her how she knows that my HSG belt needed to be replaced without an inspection. She told me that in New England, we are classified as severe usage and therefore I need to have my HSG replaced. Um ok...so my next question is the dealership just trying to milk me or can I hold off a bit to get my HSG belt replaced? Btw at an earlier recall couple months back at another authorized Hyundai dealership, there was no mention of the HSG belt replacement. Thanks!
If it is this one, $32.59.What is the cost for this? Thanks
Wow, I guess we should really have them replaced at 60,000 miles. I assume you replaced the other belt as well while you were having the HSG belt put on?Don't hold off on this one. My belt broke at 74,000 miles. $90 parts $450 labor![]()
By any chance, do you know if they replaced the tensioner as well as the belts during your service?The tow was covered by Hyundai. $450 was for labor on both belts. Also, they didn't have the belt at the dealer so the car sat on the lot for two days.
I must ask...Did Holler recommend 30 or 60?There were two different dealerships in my area (actually... within a 40 minute drive there are 6) that I deal with.
One wanted to replace the HSG and 30k and the other at 60k. Since I'd been using the one who wanted to do it at 60k normallythat's where I went
