Hyundai Repair in Weyers Cave, VA
That 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty sold a lot of Hyundais in the valley, and a lot of them have now aged out of it. Once the factory coverage winds down, a trusted local shop makes a lot of sense for everything that comes next. New Town Automotive & Tire picks up where the warranty leaves off for Hyundai owners around Weyers Cave, Verona, and Fort Defiance.
Common Hyundai problems you may be experiencing
The one every owner should understand: Theta II engine failures. The 2.4L and 2.0L turbo engines in 2011–2019 Sonatas, Santa Fes, and Tucsons developed rod bearing wear that can seize the engine, sometimes with little warning beyond a knock. Hyundai extended coverage on many of these engines and installed knock-detection software. If your Sonata develops a deep rap from the bottom end, stop driving it and call somebody. Preferably us, but somebody.
The Elantra's 1.8L Nu engine (2011–2016) has its own reputation for piston slap and rising oil consumption. A sign of this is a cold-start ticking that's more annoyance than emergency, plus a dipstick worth checking monthly.
Like most direct-injection engines, Hyundai's GDI units build carbon on the intake valves over time; rough idle and sluggish response on a higher-mileage Tucson or Sonata often traces back to that. Beyond the engines, we see the ordinary stuff. Front brake wear from stop-and-go Harrisonburg commutes, worn sway bar links clunking over frost heaves, and batteries that quit on the first hard cold snap of the year.

Know what's covered before you pay anyone
Here's advice that costs us money but it's still right: if your Hyundai has a knocking Theta II engine, check whether Hyundai's extended engine coverage applies before paying out of pocket because some of these failures are absolutely the manufacturer's bill, not yours. We'll help you figure that out honestly. Everything that is our work carries our service guarantee, and the same advice applies to the Kia siblings built on identical engines.
