What Does Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance Actually Cover for Florida Drivers?

July 16th, 2026 by
Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance is a factory program that covers your routine, scheduled maintenance at no charge on eligible new Hyundai models (model years 2020 through 2025) for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first, so the everyday upkeep that keeps your car healthy in Florida heat is already paid for. In practice, that means the normal-wear services on your maintenance schedule, such as oil and filter changes and tire rotations, are performed at the manufacturer’s recommended intervals by factory-trained technicians. It is a maintenance benefit, not a repair warranty, so it works alongside your Hyundai warranty coverage rather than replacing it. Bring your Hyundai to the Werner Hyundai Service Center in Tallahassee, and our team will apply the benefit on your behalf.

Why this benefit matters in Florida

Heat, humidity, stop-and-go traffic on Capital Circle, and long summer road trips all put real stress on your engine oil, your tires, and your fluids. Skipping a routine service in that environment is how small problems quietly turn into expensive ones. Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance takes the cost question off the table for your scheduled visits, making it far easier to stay on top of the upkeep that protects your vehicle and its resale value. For Tallahassee drivers, that is the whole point: the maintenance you should be doing anyway is already covered, so there is no reason to put it off.

What the program is designed to cover

Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance is built around your vehicle’s normal factory maintenance schedule. The services most drivers care about are the recurring ones:

Hyundai-approved oil and filter changes using the correct Hyundai-spec oil for your engine. You can see how our team handles this on our oil change service page.

Tire rotations to promote even tread wear, which matters a great deal on Florida’s hot pavement.

Multi-point inspections, included with each covered service visit, allow a technician to inspect your brakes, fluids, and belts while your car is in the bay.

Covered services apply at the normal factory-scheduled maintenance intervals only. If your driving qualifies as severe usage under your owner’s manual (frequent short trips, extreme heat, heavy stop-and-go), any additional services that the schedule calls for beyond the normal intervals are not included in the program.

What is covered for 3 years or 36,000 miles

Hyundai Complimentary Maintenance applies to eligible new vehicles for 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. The program covers model-year 2020 through 2025 Hyundai vehicles; Hyundai ended it for 2026 and newer models, so if you are shopping a brand-new Hyundai, confirm the model year and whether your vehicle qualifies before you count on the benefit. During that window, the scheduled maintenance items included in the program are performed at no charge to you at a participating Hyundai dealer. The benefit belongs to the original owner and is not transferable, and services should be completed close to each recommended interval to qualify. When you reach the end of that window, your car simply moves to standard paid maintenance, and our service and parts specials can help keep those visits affordable.

Because covered services and eligibility can vary by model and model year, confirm what applies to your specific Hyundai before you assume a visit is covered. Our advisors can verify this quickly against your VIN, and you can always reach them through our service contact form.

What Complimentary Maintenance does not cover

This is the part drivers most often misunderstand, so it is worth being clear. Complimentary Maintenance covers routine, scheduled upkeep. It does not cover:

Wear items and repairs such as brake pads and rotors, wiper blades, engine and cabin air filters, or batteries. Those are handled separately, and you can learn about services like brake service and battery service on our site.

Damage, collision work, or anything caused by an accident or outside event.

Warranty repairs, which fall under the separate Hyundai warranty coverage. The program is a maintenance benefit, not a warranty, though the two work together to protect your vehicle.

One more distinction worth knowing: if you drive an IONIQ or another electrified model, your maintenance schedule looks different from a gas model’s (a battery-electric vehicle has no engine oil to change, for example), though the program still covers tire rotations and a multi-point inspection, and our team can walk you through what applies. Our EV Education Hub is a good starting point.

How Complimentary Maintenance works with America’s Best Warranty

One benefit covers scheduled maintenance. The other covers repairs. Together they give Hyundai owners strong protection, and they are genuinely separate programs. Your America’s Best Warranty and Owner Assurance coverage covers qualifying repairs under its own terms, while Complimentary Maintenance covers routine services on your factory schedule. Keeping up with that scheduled maintenance and keeping records of it, is also one of the smartest ways to protect your warranty coverage over time.

How to use your benefit at Werner Hyundai

Using the benefit is straightforward. Bring your eligible Hyundai to our Tallahassee service center at the recommended interval, and our factory-trained technicians will perform the covered services with Genuine OEM Hyundai parts. There is nothing to buy up front for the covered items, and our advisors confirm your eligibility against your VIN when you arrive.

A few tips to get the most from it:

Follow your schedule. The benefit is tied to intervals, so timely visits are what let you use it fully.

Keep your records. A clean service history helps at trade-in and supports your warranty.

Ask about anything extra. If a technician spots a wear item during your visit, you will get a clear explanation and, when available, a look at current service specials before any work is done.
