Just had the car serviced at my local dealership. £159 inc VAT for the 20000mile/2nd year service - and was very impressed with the standard of customer service.
I've known the guy who owns the dealership, and his dad for over 20 years (he's one of MY customers!), but this is the first time I've ever had a car serviced there. I had a chat with him a few days ago, and benefited from a DPF masterclass. Its tough to achieve optimum engine temp in the UK at this time of year, doing short runs, as the engine does not warm up quickly at all at idle speed in traffic. He did mention the pitfalls of the DPF regeneration system that Hyundai use (it sounds similar to the awful mess that Mazda and Audi had problems with a few years back). Worth keeping an eye on, towards the end of the Warranty period, methinks
With the car being relatively new, he mentioned the engine flush service that is available, but this was never offered when I handed my keys over. One tip he did give me, was to change the oil at least every year, rather than the two-yearly intervals specified, mainly due to the fact that I'm not doing loads of motorway commutes any more.
