Our city is populated by clear-headed, frugal people whom understand the value of saving money, especially in today’s economy. At the same time, they understand that when it comes to reliability and the safety of friends and family, frugality sometimes has to take a back seat. This has led many to be hesitant to give much thought to the big savings possible with a certified pre-owned vehicle.

Hyundai understands these concerns, it seems, and it shows with their all new certified pre-owned program. 

There are plenty of reasons why the Hyundai Veloster is a great car to purchase. It has plenty of safety, technology, interior and performance features that make it a standout vehicle in its class.

The Veloster gets about 34 miles per gallon on the highway, which makes it a fuel-efficient vehicle. You can also get cool new gadgets such as a wireless charging station and a built-in eight-inch touchscreen display.  

Three rows of seating with plenty of legroom are some of the reasons why families choose crossover Santa Fe SUVs.

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.

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?

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...
