Got a Hyundai that needs a bit of TLC here in Hamilton? You’re not alone. Whether you’re ducking down Te Rapa Road, taking the kids to footy out in Ngaruawahia, or just dealing with all those potholes on Ulster Street – these cars cop a fair bit of punishment in our local driving conditions. Tell you what, Hyundais are good, reliable cars – but even the best need the odd tune-up or fix now and then.
Here at Grimmer Motors, we look after all sorts – from the sporty Veloster to the trusty Tucson, and everything in between. Plenty of folks from Morrinsville, Cambridge, and out in Matangi bring their Hyundais (and all sorts of other makes – seen a fair few Citroën C4s, Honda Shuttles, Kia Souls, and even the occasional Renault Koleos) in for a car service, oil change, or when something’s just not sounding right.
Hyundai servicing without the stress
No need to worry about voiding your Hyundai warranty. We use proper manufacturer-approved oils, filters – the lot. So if you’re due for a service but don’t fancy paying dealer prices, come have a yarn to us. You’ll get everything your warranty asks for, but at a price that won’t make your eyes water.
Got warning lights? Diagnosing the head-scratchers
Dash throwing up a warning light you can’t explain? Maybe it’s the check engine, or maybe there’s something weird going on with the transmission. Happens all the time – especially with all the short trips and stop-start stuff around Hamilton East in rush hour. We’ve invested in some top-notch diagnostic gear that lets our techs figure out what’s going on, fast. Makes all the difference when you just want answers and not a mystery bill.

Keeping your Hyundai happy: regular checks
Hyundais are solid, but they’ll only treat you as well as you treat them. Simple maintenance really goes the distance when you’re smashing around Rototuna or darting out to Raglan.
- Oil changes: Best to get this sorted every 4,800 to 8,000km (or whatever your book says). Book an oil change
- Tyres: Check pressures – easy as, and don’t forget about rotating them.
- Brakes: Pads and fluid – vital for all those sudden stops in morning traffic. Book a brake fluid replacement
- Air filters: Engine and cabin, both matter (especially with all the pollen in Raglan and Cambridge!). Book an air filter replacement
- Transmission fluid: Changing it before you hear weird noises is way cheaper in the long run. Book a transmission fluid replacement
