Replying to: lucky15 (Jul 08, 2008 5:19 am) I also took it to the dealership and they said it's going to run around $2,600 - $3,000 to fix it. If parking this way for a while won't hurt anything then I may just have to for a while. I like everything about this vehicle but not sure if it's worth soaking more money into it or get out while I can after 3mos? I appreciate all your help I was just informed that I'm in the Hyundai 2007+ blog section. Now I just have to figure out how to get to the older Hyundai section....

My 2007 santa fe has 26000 troublefree miles,i took it in for a schedule oil change at my dealer where ive had all my maintenance done since new and i was told i needed brakes front and rear,its an 07 SF SE MODEL AWD.I realize that peoples driving habits differ so im not concerned that i need brakes but rather the cost to replace them would be $625.00 plus tax.This isnt a case for major repairs such as calipers or rotors to be replaced,just brake pads.Im curious to know if any else has had to replace the brake pads on an 07 SF SE,and whether this cost is to much or not. |

Replying to: toycam11 (Jul 14, 2008 8:54 am) This price sounds high to me for just replacing the brake pads. I would also question that it needs pads at this mileage. I would get a second opinion. I had a 2002 Santy with 28000 miles on it and the brakes still looked like new. Just my thoughts HMA

My Dealer is quoting $379.00 for the 30,000 mile service on my 2007 SE. According to Edmunds this should cost around $145.00. What have you paid for this service? Also, Hyundai recommends changinging the transaxle fluid, but it is not included in the Edmunds price. 30K..no real problems...great car.

Replying to: toycam11 (Jul 14, 2008 8:54 am)  19,000 miles. Hadn't had the car a year. Since they were not under warranty I had them replaced at a local car repair shop. Cost $176 and still get the warranty on the brakes (12,000 miles/year) because repair service used "Genuine Sante Fe Parts"

Replying to: sprintrps (Jul 14, 2008 9:30 am) If it's Hyundai, you need to let Edmunds know so it can be added to the maintenance guide. If it's the dealer ... well, it may be a good idea or not, but it's for sure going to help the dealer's profit. Instead of asking for a "30k service" you could just ask the service writer for a quote for doing x, y and z and nothing more. X, y and z being the items that Hyundai recommends in your owner's manual. |

Replying to: sprintrps (Jul 14, 2008 1:19 pm) If you have that kind of personal relationship with the dealer, you may want to grin and pay a bit extra for your service. It sounds like you are ahead on the weatherstripping as it is and who knows what kind of "after-warranty" help they may give you on a future wear and tear item. Easy for me to say since it's your money.

Replying to: sprintrps (Jul 14, 2008 1:19 pm) I just looked it up online at Hyundai's website and while it does say replace at 30K, it is under the category, "If Necessary". Now who decides when it is necessary is a very open-ended question!
