At Annapolis Hyundai, we're thrilled about the advanced technology packed into the 2026 Hyundai Kona sub-compact SUV.

Three rows of seating with plenty of legroom are some of the reasons why families choose crossover Santa Fe SUVs. You get more interior floor space in the Santa Fe compared to many competitive models. In addition, you have the option of folding one or both rear seats when needing more cargo space. The rear row also provides more legroom compared to the competition.

Many times, owners have their hands full when finished shopping. You then must hassle with dropping your items to open the rear liftgate. However, Hyundai has you covered here too. When carrying the Proximity Key...

The Hyundai Accent is among the most popular compact cars in America. One reason is that you will never need to fumble for your keys to unlock your door or turn the car off. The vehicle's key will communicate with the car itself to perform basic functions when you get close enough to it.

You will also be glad that you bought an Accent because of its rearview camera. The camera comes with guidelines to help you determine where objects such as the curb or other vehicles are while backing up. It can also prevent you from backing into…

Have you ever noticed your vehicle veering slightly to one side or another? If you notice that your steering wheel vibrates, and you think that your tires are wearing unevenly, then there's a good chance that your wheels are out of alignment.

Most often, wheels become out of alignment when you drive over a large pothole or run into a curb. So, if you notice any of the above symptoms directly after this happens, that's a good time to have your alignment checked. You can also have it checked whenever you get an oil change. The technician will…

The radiator is the main part of the cooling system in your vehicle and has the purpose of keeping the engine coolant fluid at the proper level. The coolant circulates throughout the engine and keeps the engine components from overheating.

Cooling fins inside the radiator cool the fluid as it passes over them. Radiator hoses transport the coolant throughout the engine and need to be strong and durable to withstand the vibrations in the engine. If the radiator or hoses are compromised, then the coolant can become overheated. The engine can even be damaged as a result of these extreme…

You've maybe heard of a gasket, but did you know that your vehicle has many gaskets all over the car? Gaskets are parts of a vehicle that are usually made of steel, copper, or rubber, and they form a bond between various parts of a vehicle, keeping gases and liquids separate from each other. When a gasket wears out, a multitude of problems can occur depending on which gasket is worn out.

When a gasket wears out, one possible result is that motor oil can be mixed with antifreeze, resulting in damage to the catalytic converter. One way that…

Voltage meters are popular tools that help motorists test the energy levels in an automotive battery. Because this device is designed with color-coded wiring that examines the power in a battery by interacting with a display panel, users must take a strategic step to gather precise testing information. If you don't want to deal with engine or electrical problems during important driving situations, you can get proper data very easily while using a voltage meter by considering a few things during each car battery maintenance routine.

When we think of car maintenance, what usually comes to mind are oil changes, tire rotations, and annual tune-ups. We seldom think of transfer cases, yet transfer cases are what give our vehicles the power they need to navigate through any terrain. Stop in at Annapolis Hyundai and have one of our service technicians take a look at your vehicle.

With so many things already on your schedule, you probably don’t have the time to do your own maintenance. This is particularly true with complex parts like transfer cases. We will inspect your transfer case, replace the fluid if…

For you to keep your differential in optimum performance, consider buying the recommended differential oil. Since most cars only have a rear differential, their owners can go for the conventional oil. However, if your car has a front differential, there is more to it than just conventional oil.

Since front differentials are built into manual transaxle, it follows that you will need differential oil that sips in better. It is for this reason that full synthetic or synthetic blend oils are recommended for front differentials. On average, you will spend between $55 and $77 for a change...

Similar to making a reservation for dinner at a restaurant and showing up at that time with no wait, now you can do the same when you need to get any work done to your car at the local dealership. Using the online service scheduler, drivers have the ability to choose when and what time work will begin so they are not waiting around for longer than need be.

The ease in which any driver can use the online service scheduler is simple. Just access the scheduler online, pick a day you want the car to be serviced, then narrow…
