If I were you I would get it done at 60,000 miles, it is almost as if the manufacturer plans for them to go at 60,000, if the timing belt goes, so goes the engine, If I were you I would check around your area for a good mechanic at a local garage rather than a dealer, I had my wifes car done a few years back and he charged $300.00. I don`t know about the special tools that only dealers have, my mechanic had no problem changing the belt. On my wife`s car the timing belt went at just over 60,000 miles, luckily I caught it in the early stages. it had just started to make noises.

As the title of this thread is for 2007+ Santa fe's, I assume that's what you're driving.
 
It doesn't have a timing belt...it has a chain....which you never need to replace.

Not exactly true. See here:

In addition, it is certainly necessary under certain conditions to replace the timing chain - I speak from personal experience on my Nissan Stanza - but not usually, and not at the intervals recommended for a belt.

I suppose a steel chain COULD wear out....when dinosaurs again roam the Earth.
 
Then again, I suppose aliens COULD erupt, fully clothed, from my freckled arse.

The GLS has a timing belt, the SE and Limited have a timing chain, I hope this clears up any confusion, as posters stated earlier their are different engines for these models, the one for the GLS is a smaller V-6. I own a 2007 GLS and it has a timing belt.

others, like costco, I have to hold the nozzle at a certain angle to fill up.
 
Same issue with us. Some nozzles we have to tilt the handle up in order to get the
gas to not keep shutting off before the tank is filled.

18 inch tires for the limited cost around $220.00 tire alone at costco and sams.
Tirerack has some at around $110.00
 
I have 30k on my 07 limited and the stock tires are still in fine shape. But if you get a nail in one expect to pay big bucks for a patch. They wanted like 50 bucks to patch it. They blamed the size of the tire and that TMPS thing that checks air pressure or whatever its for, it is the valve steam. I read they cost 5 bucks but the tire places like to jack up the cost for replacement. If it were me I would just leave the old one in place, but these bozos always want to cut them off. Tiresplus changed the flat for 24 bucks, which was a deal.

Where did you get your Kumhos I am looking at those for future replacements? Are they still doing good?

How much did you pay for your 7500 mile service? by rich123

So I am due for the 7500 mile service. I assume most folks get an oil change also at the 7500 mile service. How much did you pay and has anyone had their service intervals done by a third party?
