Can you go to any Hyundai dealership for free service?

[Alfer]

I bought a 2024 Elantra in the spring from a Hyundai dealer on opposite side of town due to better deal.

Since car has 3 year free maintenance am I tied to THAT dealer only, or can I go to any Hyundai dealer to get the service done?

We have a dealer that I drive by on the way to work that I rather use.

This states you can at any authorized Hyundai service location. Should be fine to use them but I would still encourage confirming with them.

Dealers make more money from service than they do from new car sales. So it would be a rare dealer that tried to turn you away.

I used to be a BMW owner and was on the BMW owner forums. Even for BMWs there were some complaints that certain dealers would only provide loaners for their customers who purchased the car from them.

You want to be careful forcing yourself onto a dealership for service. it can be a little like getting a "special sauce: at a restaurant after insulting the server.

I have used this dealer in question for my Genesis services so I'm not a "new" customer to them.

Then you should have no problem at all.

It really depends on who the free service is from. If it is a dealer optioned free service, then you will need to go to the dealer that is providing that service. If it a Hyundia free service, then you should be able to go to any Hyundia dealership.

This isn't "free service." It's included service. The charge for it was included in the purchase price of the car...

Still, is the service through the dealer or Hyundia. I had free oil changes with my Hyundia, but it was from the dealer. You would need to ask the dealer you want to use.

It was included by Hyundai. Read the posts here. It was NOT a dealer offer. So it applies to every dealer.
