Hyundai Dealer Hours and Closures
Vehicle maintenance has been deemed an essential business in many states across the country, so we want you to know that the majority of our dealers are currently available for the service you may need. Hyundai dealers impacted by this situation may be operating with reduced business hours, partially open for service or completely shut down. Please contact your local dealer to get the latest information on their operations and business hours.
Select dealers are also now offering pickup and drop-off service for customers who need maintenance/service on their vehicle but do not feel comfortable or are unable to come into the dealership. This includes coming to your location to pick up your vehicle and dropping it off to you when it is all done.
We want to assure you that Hyundai dealers are looking out for your safety and convenience during these uncertain times. It is very important to us that our customers feel secure and protected if they come into the dealership. Our dealers have been asked to take extra precautions at their facilities, including disinfecting vehicles after they have been serviced, disinfecting customer lounges and making additional adjustments based on local, regional, and national developments.
